I ordered the takeout Palak Kofta and Chapati, it was exquisite. Perfectly warmed, and the Chapati was perfectly buttered! The interior of the restaurant is also beautiful and would be a great place to eat out at. Don't miss this spot!

This Indian establishment is a one-of-a-kind special place in Baltimore. Charming! We were so excited to have discovered Akbar while passing by this morning to go to the little quick-mart a few doors down.
We ate a small breakfast, drove out to the Patapsco Valley State Park for the day, got lost in the forest and crossed a part in the river that soaked our socks and shoes, only to climb up the side of the park hill to get back onto the trail, made it to the Jeep, followed through with going to Manor Hill Tavern in Ellicott City to have a beer BUT we had stayed extremely disciplined to not eat a single thing there even though we were so hungry because we knew what we were saving ourselves for and that was Akbar!
You see, we are from West Palm Beach, FL and we have our own absolute authentic and special place we look forward to going to every two months or so and that’s Raja Indian Cuisine in Wellington, FL. There is something so amazing and flavorful about the food and the atmosphere that it has left a lasting impression on us. We have now found the same love and appreciation for Akbar that we have for our hometown Raja.
So here’s a shout out to Akbar and their staff and all the hard work that is paying off for them. Well done you guys. Outstanding team! Outstanding aesthetics! Outstanding atmosphere! Outstanding ambience! And most of all outstanding food!
If this is your first time having Indian food, always start off with Chicken Madras around a level 3, like the perfect spiciness -not too basic; not too spicy. And lastly: Dear Akbar, I will be sending my love to you all all the way back from down in hot, steamy Florida and I will shout it loud that I am thankful you Akbar exist. Thank you for being here and gifting new customers and returning customers with your grace. Keep up the great work! If I sound corny and ridiculous I do apologize lol. But I am giving a genuine, wholehearted compliment.
Love, Kourtney & Mike

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly + attentive staff, and excellent food! We tried a few chaats, palak paneer, paneer makhani, and baingan bharta—all were very flavorful and comforting. Would definitely recommend to those visiting Mt. Vernon.

We had a wonderful celebration dinner at this restaurant. We ordered chat, paneer makhani, palak paneer, and baingan bertha- all were outstanding. The service was kind and attentive. Perfect destination for our family celebration.

Inexpensive and delicious! Food doesn’t take long and appetizers/entrees are spaced out well. 10/10 - my favorite aloo gobi in Baltimore. I order takeout all the time, but the physical space in the restaurant is also super cute!

Fantastic place. The lunch buffet had many options for meat eaters and vegetarians and they made the naan to order. Highly recommend and you can’t beat it at $15
Lori T
The food was well seasoned and spiced. All of the flavors melded together and made the proteins stand out. The naan was thin, hot and you could tell it was handmade. I had the chicken korma hubby had the chicken chaat and vegetable samosa and he tried the fruit and nut naan and we shared the gulab jamun at the end. Everything was phenomenal. Everything!
5 stars from us! Go go go you won't regret it!

We had a lunch buffet at Akbar: starter wasn't that great - bit oily. One of pakoda was salty. Dal, Rice, Garlic Naan, chole, gulab Jamun was hit. One of the guests in our group tried chicken gravy - it was good. Overall 3.5 Star.

Had a wonderful date night dinner at Akbar. Chicken Vindallo and Chicken Tiki Masala. Both were well prepared and delicious.
Ordered takeout, TRASSH!!
