About Akar

Akar is a renowned restaurant in Saint Louis, serving exquisite dishes with a Malaysian fusion style. The menu features flavorful options such as gnocchi, tofu, and lamb special, which have been praised for their exceptional taste. The restaurant offers an upscale dining experience, with a limited seating area, and the staff is accommodating and attentive.

The menu showcases a blend of Asian-American and Middle Eastern flavors, with dishes like slow-cooked short rib, scallops with risotto, and the tender and flavorful lamb shank with rice and brussels sprouts. The restaurant also offers a variety of desserts, including mocha brûlée and cakes, which are not too sweet.

Akar is a flavor lover's dream, with an incredible knowledge of flavors and how they play together, applied to every dish. The menu rotates, and the specials vary, including dishes like the subtly seasoned short rib with lightly steamed carrots and pea mash. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is great, though some customers found the lack of complimentary bread unappealing. Overall, Akar is a great destination for special occasions and anniversaries, offering an unforgettable dining experience.

Our waiter was extremely rude. When I asked questions about a certain dish, he was short and rude, as if I was inconveniencing him with my questions. When the meal came out, he brought a completely different dish than what was ordered by my sister and didn’t try to rectify the situation. Flavors were great, but service was so bad I wouldn’t go back.

Great service and the food is amazing

Amazing food and dining experience. Akar is a five star restaurant!!
