Kapoor's Akbar Indian Restaurant

The food wasn't great. We ordered Lamb Curry and Biriyani (that was more like cured fried rice), but the meat was overcooked. The boss recommends chicken dish was bland and overcooked. The appetizers were average. Even my vegetarian friends did not like their Palak Paneer and Gobi appetizers.

I took over from this place. We ordered 70$ food, including dal tadka, a dish of rice, Tandoori chicken and watermelon salad. Firstly, they forgot the rice plate, even if we were charged in the receipt. The watermelon salad should contain disc cleaners, but I hardly found anything other than melon pieces and onions. The dal had no tadka (only boiled dal). I wouldn't recommend this place to everyone. Very miserable and frugal place.

Oct 2021 Update: visited the restaurant again post pandemic lockdown for dinner, they added some new dishes. My new favorite blue crab curry. It was Yumm!! Love the flavors. Went there for lunch and loved the food options. Had chicken tamattar lunch option and loved it. Portions are huge even for lunch :

We ordered a takeout for dinner from Kapoor's Akbar Indian Restaurant. The lady at the reception taking the order was really helpful and smiling. We ordered a tandoori chicken masala, chilean sea bass, bhindi and naan. I would say that the Chilean sea bass was expensive for the quantity and the taste. Other things were fine. The restaurant was clean, well managed, and everyone was wearing masks. They did offer some discounts for ordering online which we did not know before we placed the order. Overall, I would not say that I would highly recommend it but it's fine for a general take out. As compared to the quality of food, I would consider it to be a bit on the pricier side.

New addition to the restaurant offering is a unique Indian street food menu under the name Kati Roll Company for pick up, delivery and eat in the outside patio. The east west coast competition Indian equivalent of crust , the Kati has a more flaky, lighter crust and the Frankie a more substantial and doughy one out of naan. Available in bowls as well. We are always surprised that the DTLA place (with free parking inside the building!! doesn 't do SRO business. Indian food updated by a third generation chef in a colorful, small place heat not spiky peppers warm this food.
