Nice original Indian food surely to give it a try. First of all the owner (or the boss I don’t know) was a bit rude at the beginning because it was only three of us and we were waiting for the rest and he came to us asking very not nicely where the rest was and insisting in that we should find out and hurry them up, which is something I’ve never seen doing anywhere anytime in my life. So not a great start. But then after we ordered and food came he turned actually very nice and friendly so probably was just not a good moment of his. Food is very tasty and there are very rich sauces. I didn’t have very high expectations but to be honest I’ve been surprised so it’s worth giving it a try. The reason why I’m also not giving a 4th star is that no matter the group size you shall pay in cash and as a whole, which is of course extremely inconvenient for groups of friends or similar. This is quite a discomfort , especially given that nowadays cash is less and less used. And it may also be likely that this fact would turn off people from coming here and look for another Indian place, which would be a pity because the food I believe is worth trying.
The best chicken massala ever! Picked up my order and went home few beers later and I was tasting heaven! Not too hot not too spicy,perfect,will definitely be coming back here. Richard
Went last month, multiple issues with the staff being patronising and very insulting. Food is ok, attitude and quality of service is terrible. Very snappy and always feeling on edge. Would not recommend.
If you're Indian you've got to try their Chicken Tikka Masala. Got my takeaway order in just 5-10 mins. Very hospitable and friendly. Cash only!
Truly one of our absolute favourite restaurants in leeds! Akmals never dissappoint and serve beautiful curries that throughly enjoyable. The last time we went to Akmals was for a celebration of our engagement and what a lovely night it was, fabulous foods and fantastic service/staff.Thank you Akmals !
