Birmingham is well known for it's curry house culture and Akaash is as good an example of that…read more Situated miles away from the famous "curry triangle", Akaash is a smartly presented Indian restaurant that also does takeaway, with the kind of food that will delight all but the most fussy curry enthusiast (some even say it's the best curry they've had in Birmingham, but perhaps that's too big a subject to debate here). It seems to be able to tick all the boxes with good service, cheap prices, generous portions and keen, polite service. It seems fair to say it's one of the best curry houses this side of Birmingham.The only possible criticsim I can think of is that there's no parking spaces, so drivers may want to think about taking a taxi to avoid any unneccesary stress. Ignore at your peril, or only if you've tried Indian food previously and have decided that it absolutely isn't for you.

Offering exquisite Indian Cuisine in a pleasant, well-themed setting, this lavish neighbourhood…read morerestaurant is an excellent place to visit for an evening meal with family and friends, not to mention very well-priced too! The restaurant houses two floors of gorgeous furniture and furnishings, its own licensed bar and a friendly waiter service, all of which ensure every visit here is an enjoyable one. Moonlight Cuisine prides itself on its low fat cooking, so there's no guilt in just letting go and really indulging yourself, and the plush chairs and piped, low-level music create a pleasing, authentic Indian ambience. Takeaway and delivery services are available for those who prefer to eat at home, but I'd definitely recommend a meal out here; go for the Chicken Madras!

Here I tired the fish pekora. The crust was seasoned well; it was a unique flavor but not one that over-powered the fish.

The staff has attentive and friendly; my server was willing to offer other recommendations for what I could do on Ladypool Road.

I had a take out Chicken Biryani from this eatery last night and I enjoyed it a lot. A large group…read moreof friends and I were going to go for a curry but decided on staying in to watch a film instead with a take out. The Biryani had a very good rice base, the rice was not to dry or too moist, it was just right. There were no weird additions to it, for example raisins. This was a great relief to me I must say. The vegetable sauce that always accompanies a Biryani was also very good, I could taste the cardamom and cumin and coriander. A right nice bunch of C's. I will come back here for a larger meal after trying just one of their dishes. I prefer to do this because I like to know what I am getting myself into A curry must for most.

On arrival the car park was small but I was able to get my car in a space. On entering the venue we were met by a very friendly waiter who showed us to our table. I must say at 8pm on a Thursday evening it was busy. We had our own wine 'Pinot Grigio' and nibbled on poppadoms dips mango chutney and onion as we browsed over the extensive menu. I orderd a chicken balti for the simple reason - I am not adventerous and my friends both ordered 2 separate balti dishes and we shared a pilau rice, plain nann and garlic nann. The food came timely, hot and served with a smile. My friend wasnt wrong, the Balti's are huge!! :-) The waiter continually replaced our jug of water with fresh water and ice as we drank it. After much laughter, gossiping and merriment we had no room for pud so braved the snow to drive home. The decor is sparse, but what they lack in decor is made up for in hospitality and tasty food. Good prices too so defo worth a try. Quite a few folks were in getting take aways too :-)

The dining area is essentially a long corridor, so what you see in the photo (count the tables to get an idea of depth) on Yelp is pretty much it. SERVICE// Service was pretty nice. One of the waiters was a bit chatty/putting it on. But you can't fault him for trying, better than a surly attitude.

I had a last minute call from my Brother last night saying that he was going to Akbars and did I…read morewant to go.....obviously with the temptation of a restaurant I haven't tried before I couldn't resist.....30 minutes later was being picked up to go and see what it was all about. The restaurant itself is on the Hagley Road just a little bit up from Five Ways in a large white building. You walk in and are instantly hit by the grandeur of the place with marble, statues and artwork all over the restaurant and reception areas. We needed to wait for a table so were given a buzzer and were invited to take a seat at the bar. We were quickly seated and shown the food menus after about 10 minutes.....when you don't ave a reservation I think thats pretty good! The food is very much what you would expect from a curry house with a huge list of classic curry dishes and starters. We went for popadoms and dips to start....I then went for chicken pakora and shish kebabs as my main.....I had already eaten before I left the house so was just being greedy at this point....this was my attempt at having something healthier haha. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious and the prices were really reasonable! Both starters were only around £3.50 a plate and were a good size portion! I was going to be super harsh and give this place four stars due to a slightly dirty menu and the fact the tables are pretty close together but can you really mark somewhere down for being busy and popular? The staff here cannot do enough for you and I think its a great touch that the chefs bring out the food! If you want a curry....at a reasonable price.....in an interesting setting...why not give this place a go.

Chosen because it was around the corner from a friend's home, I believe it is not really worth travelling to if you live far. I tried for starters the spiced calamari and Seekh kebabs. The calamari was over cooked, squid incredibly rubbery. The kebabs were fair. All the starters were thrown on the plate, no care given to presentation. The lettuce appeared it had sat around for quite a while also, slightly turning brown around where the knife had cut. The mains were oily, not well spiced at all. The naan breads, this was impressive however, it tasted good and 3 feet tall, see my photos. Would I go again or recommend it to a friend, no. Service wasn't too great. Told our starters would take 10-15 minutes but took 25. Had to ask three times for our drinks. Waiters were accommodating, we did give a 10% tip.
