My order was lentil soup and samosa. It was not hot but acceptable. My order for the main meal was biryani rice with lamb. The dish arrived as if it were plain rice, pre-prepared and mixed with some spices and not hot at all. Alive, not warm. I asked to change it, and the waiter agreed. In less than 5 minutes, the same dish came with yogurt sauce leftovers. Rice was added to it, and it did not even heated up, I ordered the cancellation of the dish and paid for the soup and samosa. I left the restaurant without any apology or trying to please the customer. I was feeling insulted. I asked for the number of the restaurant manager, and I talked to him. To be honest, he was nice and a good listener and promised to take what is necessary not to repeat what happened.

We had a great experience dining at Akbar. We came here on the Sunday for Mother's Day and were very excited to try their brunch menu. Unfortunately, when we got there we found out that it was a brunch buffet so we didn't get a chance to try the menu. It also was very busy so they had set up an overflow room that looked to be part of their banquet area. The set up was very similar to an event and didn't feel very much like a restaurant and was way too loud. Thankfully the staff were able to move us back into the restaurant area and we had a much better dining experience. Food: They had so many options on the brunch buffet, a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Some of my favorite item were the chaat station where you could make your own chaat mix.

The brunch was ok, food was NOT Akbar quality. No one came to ask what we wanted brunch or if we wanted to do a la carte after we were sitted. No one came to take drink orders. Finally after waiting we called a server to ask and took the buffet. Then we called in for our check saw 20% service charge for 2 people. I always go in for 20% tip, but I did not like the fact that it was already added to the check when the service was awful.

Akbar never ceases to deliver wonderful food. What really adds to the evening is the awesome attitude of the serving staff. I highly recommend Akbar if you are in the mood for a curry. You will not be disappointed!

By far one of our favorite restaurants on Long Island. The new menu with everything clearly marked what is gluten free is a game changer and helps us feel safe to eat here. The staff and the atmosphere are amazing and the food is simply delicious.

We always love this restaurant. Great food, nice atmosphere. But unless you're there with a party, don't go on Saturday night. It's crazy. The service was very slow, and our meal was served in pieces, with two dishes served when we were just about finished with dinner. Go during the week and you'll have a much more relaxed and pleasant experience, with wonderful food.

We haven't been here in 4 years because we did not enjoy the food back then. We were craving Indian food and a friend suggested we try it because they changed their menu. It's close to our home so we went and were very pleased with the food this time We had the Gobi Manchurian to start and Palak paneer and Hadwala chicken as our entrees accompanied by basmati rice and garlic naan. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The decor is simple but there was a big party in the next room and it was beautifully decorated and the buffet spread looked wonderful
Outstanding food and quick courteous service. Freshness in every bite. Try the cauliflower appetizer. You won't be disappointed.

The service here is exceptional. Our server was attentive, yet not intrusive. The whole team worked together to provide a flawless eating experience. We never had to ask for anything twice! The menu has an extensive variety of options, and everything we tried was great. I really enjoyed the creative takes on traditional foods. Overall, eating at this restaurant was a pleasure from beginning to end. The wonderful cuisine, amazing service, and attractive atmosphere created a memorable experience!

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.
