Top curries, quite a big spot inside and sound guys working there telling us the Pakistani curries were the best with their huge naans. We ordered the lamb nihari with a seafood curry and chicken and spinach Karahi, all great and decent portions with good amount of spice paired with a regular garlic naan and flavourful and moist mushroom rice. My dad hasn’t had the best experience with curries in the uk but this one was his favourite so far. Would definitely come again as have been a returning customer in various branches across the uk. For the Sheffield branch would be good to have the interior a bit brighter as was quite dull but besides that all good!
Absolutely stunning food and service. The king prawn special had the most beautifully cooked prawns we’ve ever had. Everything was perfect, with delicious and authentic food and drink! Portion sizes are amazing (we had to take some home!) and the cheese and onion nan is a must! Thanks again to Kammy for looking after us while we were there! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you Akbar’s!
Have visited regularly for years, best place in Sheffield for a curry. Service is top notch, especially from Ali - very nice guy. The food is lovely and the naan bread is fresh. Highly recommend
The food has a blend taste to it. The glasses smell like damp, plates are chipped and you cannot take your own drinks from outside regardless of your dietary requirements. It’s the most stupid thing I’ve heard. If you have something on your table they don’t sell they ask you to bin it. The manager advised to bin the items and offered to displace the items into plates which are not to my hygiene standards. The amount of money paid for the service they should have flexibility. I will not be visiting again, the food isn’t even authentic in taste and the quantity is small for what you’re paying. You’re essentially paying to be monitored in a run down environment which is embarrassing when taking pictures. The focus is not food or service it's discipline and authority.
lovely halal food and amazing flavours! We went for my mothers birthday and Ali was very attentive, funny and overall such a kind person! 10/10 service, made our day! wish him all the best!
