We visit Akbar several times a year for dinner, take outs and parties but this was by far, THE worst experience we have had and especially with friends from city who had high expectations from a “suburb” INDIAN restaurant!! We ordered 7 starters out of which 3 were bad, literally bad!! Gobi Manchurian and Mushrooms were not undercooked but barely cooked!! Paneer tikka was JUST eatable but Fish was fine. Chicken lollipop and Cheese Kulch(2) were the only good appetizers!! For our Main course, malai kofta DIDNOT arrive till we were ready to ask for the check!! Dal tadka was good and palak paneer was so-so. I agree it was Saturday night and restaurant was packed but that cannot be an excuse for substandard food or service!! So disappointed!!

Crowded for Diwali, but that's expected. Food is good, service is good, but the location is odd.

Our 2nd time to Akbar ... this time for our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint.... Food and staff were amazing... and owner spoke with us and she was super nice ! One of the best upscale restaurants in Long Island ! We had an awesome time !

Food was of decent quality. Portions very small especially the appetizers. Waiter was borderline rude. He brought us ice-cream instead of the homemade Kulfi on the dessert menu and was aggressive when asked for the correct item. He did not change it. Would not return.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. They charge an insane amount of money for a tiny portion of bad food. I paid $25 for 5 small pieces of bad chicken. No sauce or rice.

Perfect for a date night ambience with delicious food - the prawn coconut curry is fantastic, and don’t skip out on the chili chicken appetizers!

Darwin did a really good job with getting us the food on time. The food was great this was a 5 star service . Darwin is great would definitely come back.
if you're looking for good quality Indian cuisine, this is the place. Staff is helpful and friendly. The owner comes around to each table. Local Indian population eats there - that's how you know its legit.

The people at the next table came in after us. Yet they got their food, ate, and had leftovers wrapped to go before our food ever arrived. Food tasted good but portions were somewhat skimpy for the price, especially the rice. The onion kulcha tasted more like plain Nan. We've had better elsewhere

Their food is always on point, and the service is great too! 🍴👌 Last night, my husband and I ordered the shrimp biryani, and it was incredibly delicious - 10/10! 😋
