    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.
