What Stephen Gillane likes about Akbar's:
GRTCC A bit too commercial now, very , very good food, but the atmosphere was hollow and echoey and didn’t feel like a warm friendly place to meet and eat. Also what does annoy me is when the bill arrives without a service charged included, tick, but to be told by the waiter that’s £x each which included a healthy tip, I would like to decided for myself what the tip should be. Would I go again, yes. View all feedback. What JacksonGD doesn't like about Akbar's:
The service here is appalling. Used to be really good. Food has dropped in quality since the cafe Akbar merger or whatever it is. Just not worth the journey/price any more View all feedback.

If you're a fan of Pakistani cuisine, Akbar’s is definitely worth a visit! The Nihari was absolutely lovely—rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. One of my go...

Naan bread is of good quality. I ordered one naan bread with seafood balti and a poppadom. I think one main dish is enough for only one person.

Akbar's restaurant has a mixed reputation among diners. Some reviewers have complained about poor service and declining food quality, while others have praised the warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious dishes, and generous portions. The restaurant chain, which has several locations in Leeds and surrounding cities, offers an extensive menu of Indian and Pakistani cuisine. With its large portions and friendly service, Akbar's may be a hit or miss for diners, but it remains a popular choice for those seeking flavorful and spicy dishes in a cozy setting.

Seated straight away on a busy Friday evening. Food was excellent and the breads are massive. Totally over-ordered. Recommended.
