"Absolutely outstanding! First time ordering here and they smashed it out of the park. A couple of our regular curry houses had gone downhill and we'd tried a few places trying to find a new gem all were pretty average in all honesty. Akhtars was recommended to us by a friend who'd previously recommended our current favourite kebab house. Ordered a peshwari tikka creamy but with a kick, just my style. My wife ordered desi lamb, rich and spicy. Great spice blend, tender meat. Keema rice was excellent, prawn puri was perfect and the garlic naan, although slightly burnt, we quite like that charred flavour so not a negative there either. The mushroom pakoras didn't travel well but you e got to expect that. They were very tasty and a decent size portion. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Just sad that we're now on our January diet because I'd order from here twice a week! Really pleased we've found a new regular. No idea how much it cost, but after tasting the food, I don't really care. Awesome food and it arrived 25 minutes earlier than expected. I don't give out 5* very often, but this place would've got a 7*. Needless to say, we'll be ordering again."

Me and my partner come here often, this is the only place outside of Bradford that I enjoy. The food is usually very fresh tasty. No card accepted, bring cash and your own alcohol.
Andy
The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The service was excellent. We dined in for dinner and the price per person was £20–30. The food and service both received a rating of 5, while the atmosphere was rated a 4. View menu

I don't understand why this restaurant is so empty. The food was outstanding. The curry and chips were delicious, and the popadoms and pickle trays were fresh and crispy. I ordered the chicken saag balti and it was fantastic! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The appetizers are still excellent, faultless, but the curries have been lacking lately. I used to love the lamb on the bone, but now it's not as good. The sauce that comes with it is bland. I went with a friend last week and we ended up taking the leftover food home. We both left half of our curries and when we told the waiter, he apologized.

The last time I ordered from this restaurant when it was called "Hanifs", the chicken masala was delicious. This time, however, it was a completely different experience. I believe there have been some changes because it was not at all like the last time and I was very disappointed. There was no masala flavor, just a watery sauce that seemed to be made mostly with turmeric. Everything else was okay, but I would have preferred a receipt to know exactly what I was paying for.

The staff at this restaurant is very friendly and the environment is clean. The food was delicious, though a bit pricey, the quality was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Masala fish dish. You can bring your own alcohol if you prefer. Hopefully, they will soon have a card machine for payment. The owner mentioned they would be getting one soon. I appreciate the convenience of paying with a card rather than carrying cash. I give them five stars once they have a card machine installed.

The owner appears to be pleasant, but unfortunately the service at this restaurant is lacking. The young woman with glasses was impolite and lacked manners, not paying attention to anything we said. Our orders were incorrect, some items were missing, and our drinks never arrived. When we asked for the bill, she ignored us and we had to request it from another staff member. The food was decent but not exceptional. The manager should consider hiring better employees. Overall, the service experience for dining in was disappointing.
