Akbar, with genuine Indian character and charm, is aptly named after the Grand Mogul Emperor famous for splendor of his hospitality, fabulous feasts and elegance of living. As the first Indian Restaurant in Long Island, Akbar has lived up to its name, providing unparalleled services to its guests for years. Inspired by the diverse tastes and flavors from India, each chef at Akbar not only brings years of culinary expertise to each dish, but also has his own specialty, creating a unique balance in each menu item. An elegant setting with dramatic high ceilings, plush carpeting, Indian carvings, and the romantic glow of candle light add to the memorable and unique dining experience.

    The food , service and ambience were excellent. My sister and I went on a quiet Monday on the recommendation of my coworker. It didn’t disappoint at all. The flavors were amazing. I will definitely recommend this place. One thing, I hope in the future they will change their landscape because it’s a little hidden. They need a street presence worthy of this restaurants excellence.

    Chicken Tikka, Palak Paneer, Onion Kulcha and Garlic Naan were delicious! I recommend you try the Kheer (rice pudding). Restaurant is beautifully decorated and wait staff were wonderful. Nice linen tablecloths and napkins too.

    If you love Indian food then Akbar is the best on Long Island. The food is consistently excellent as is the service. Beautiful ambiance and it’s a great venue for a party. I think they should make more of their wines available by the glass. Akbar is a great value as well.
