Absolutely wonderful and tasty Uber Eats delivery! It's always a toss up on UE between something over priced and nasty or not showing up correctly. Everything was delicious. The yellow rice was awesome!

I was shocked and surprised it was hot and tasty! There was this Green chutney sauce with the Meat Somasa you straight up can eat a hard leather sneaker with!🤣 It was banging! Seriously. 😁 I swear they should make a bucket of this stuff and sell it to me!

No pics this go round...to busy munching. Excellent late evening find.

I ordered chicken tikka at this restaurant and waited about 40 minutes. I told them I would be eating inside, but they still packed everything in a to-go bag and didn’t include a spoon. The food quality was very poor, and the customer service was terrible—they could barely communicate. In the end, I threw the food away. I absolutely do not recommend this place

We got three entrees for take out and the food was excellent. The herbs and spices blended well and the flavors were great. The rice was light and fluffy.

Came to Akbar as a tourist from out of state on recommendation from a friend. Let’s just say I found a great reason to return to the Baltimore area. Authentic Indian food and experience, I will be stopping by anytime I am back in the area and you should too!

Jazz, the owner, was an incredible host and gave us great recommendations for each course of the dinner which played a huge role in getting the authentic northern Indian experience.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a nice ambiance for a pleasant dining experience.

The food for every course was delicious. The appetizer sampler and lentil soup to start with a chai were perfect for a cloudy evening. We shared three delicious curry dishes paneer kofta, lamb xacutti, and lamb pasanda. The lamb was tender and cooked to perfection. All the sauces were full and flavorful. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Dessert we had the mango lassi and ice cream. I didn’t think I could fit anymore food at this point but they were both so creamy and flavorful. Do yourself a favor and don’t skip this part!

Still not convinced? Take a shot and try it out. Bring a friend and they probably won’t stop talking about it!

Akbar is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. I live right around the corner and have gotten both takeout and dined in. Every time I go, the staff is very friendly and the food is always excellent. The naan in particular is better than most Indian restaurants in Baltimore. Fluffy, not too chewy, great flavor. My only complaint is sometimes it’s pretty empty inside- but that’s not even the restaurant’s fault. People order takeout way more often and dine-in less than they used to compared to pre-2020.

Ordered takeout, TRASSH!!

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.
