Best WLM Reviews
Akbar has such a beautiful interior and everytime I visit they seem to have some type of celebration going on and I always take a moment to marvel at the beauty of the women dressed in their finest.
Now let’s get into this meal. If you love the tart yet sweet fruit tamarind, give the Tamarita a try instead of the traditional margarita. Be careful, this drink creeps up on you!
For starters, the Chili Fried Shrimp is amazing, the batter is a blend of seasonings that compliment the taste of the shrimp, while not overpowering and just enough heat to be mildly spicy. Yes, you must dip them in the sauce.
For my vegetarian and vegan friends, try the Gobi Manchurian. A cauliflower that’s spicy but sweet fried up with green peppers, onions in a chili garlic sauce. This can easily stand alone, or serve as a side dish to the meal. Baingan Bharta is for my eggplant lovers, if you don’t fall into that category, then I am not talking to you!
Who doesn’t love a good tangy Chicken Tikka Masala? If you are a bit skeptical about experimenting with Indian food, this might be a safe start for you. Sap it up with naan, plain or garlic, slathered with butter. This is food to eat with your hands, it just tastes better.
If you have a hankering for Biryani, the shrimp is my favorite, so I highly recommend it. This trip I decided to try all new dishes so the rice that comes with each meal is Tarkari Pulao, a basmati topped with peas and carrots.
No matter when I visit, the service is always wonderful, and a preferred section is not needed, unless you have built a relationship with a member of the staff. Akbar is family friendly, don't be surprised if you see children and hear them.
I was pleased by the cleanliness of the restaurant, not only were the dining rooms spotless, the bathrooms were as well.
Akbar can be considered a fine dining restaurant, so make sure you are dressed appropriately. No you don’t have to be dressed up, but gym wear would not seem appropriate in my opinion.
So if you are looking for a nice restaurant that provides a pleasant dining experience, and delicious Indian food, check out Akbar in Garden City. Don’t forget to tell them Unnerved Traveler sent you! Enjoy
Definitely one of the best in Long Island. Quality Indian food with authentic taste not modernized or fusion. Must try the Lamb Chops and Tikkas . Also great for large party , no reservation needed.
Great food and atmosphere, highly recommend. Only thing is the table is very small for a large party.
We catered many weddings here and the space and attentive service always stands out. Here is a photo of a wedding cake we created in the smaller space with the stunning bride posing for photos in front he background.
Food is authentic and delicious as well.
The food was absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable. Definitely worth the trip.
Very expensive. Portion size is very small but prices are double compared to other restaurants. You even have to pay extra for rice. Other restaurants rice is included. Food taste is fine.
The food was decent, communication with the servers could be annoying at times since my server wasnt to well with english. The best thing on the menu is there fried spicy shrimp!!! Worth a try if you love indian food!
They food is really amazing and they have got a cooperative staff . You should really try their Chicken Malai Kebab,Prawn Aftabi and Chicken Tikka Masala.
