Akbars: An Indian restaurant

 

Akbars

 

About Akbars

Akbars is a restaurant located in on Sauchiehall street near Charing cross. It specialises in south Indian dishes with a range of classic curries. From the inside the restaurant looks modern and was surprisingly large in size. It has expanded in growth overtime starting with a 28 seater restaurant in Bradford to now having over 10 restaurants located across the UK with over 300 staff and 60 chiefs. It has attracted the likes of many celebrities and famous people such as Amir Khan and Boris Johnson. The restaurant looks clean and modern and I believe it’s a great place to enjoy a meal.

 

What Akbars offers

Akbars offers a variety of different Indian dishes including starters, Baltis, and chief specialities such as Jalfrezi and Lamb Shank. The prices range from person to person but on average a single person can expect to spend anywhere around 15-25 which I believe is reasonable when taking into consideration the quality of food, the amount of food and also once compared to other places that offer similar meals. There is also a drinks and desserts menu, they offer soft drinks and mocktails and also a range of desserts with a price range of around £5-£6.


 

What I tried personally

Personally I went for challenge 1. Akbars offers 2 challenges on the menu, challenge 1 which is a challenge that requires you finish the whole meal, as the difficulty being trying to finish the “gigantic” naan they give you with your meal which consists of a large meat feast Balti and a portion of Pilau rice. I managed to complete this challenge and as stated was rewarded with a free dessert. There is also challenge 2 which consists of eating the hottest dish the kitchen can make, and again if completed a reward of ice cream would be offered.

 

Overall experience

My overall experience with Akbars has been great. It is defiantly one of my favourite Indian restaurants I have tried before and all of my friends seem to agree that everything from service to food was great.

Rating 4.5/5

Wunderbar:A wonderful place

  Wunderbar Glasgow Wunderbar is another busy and vibrant bar located in the heart of the city, which is open 7 days a week from 12pm to 3am. Located on 28 Springfield Ct it is a ideal location for anyone who is out in the city centre and wants a fun time, in a bustling atmosphere. The clinking of glasses, laughter, and music merge to create an unforgettable experience… What to expect When entering the venue you have a choice to either go up or downstairs. The upstairs offers live music performance and also has a bar and seating for drinks. Personally, what I like about the upstairs is the outside area where you can catch some fresh air and relax with friends in the seating that is provided. It is a great place to gather thoughts and sit back and relax with friends whilst having a nice refreshing drink. Onto the downstairs you will find the ballroom, this is also where live music is played and the DJs that play are shown on there website or on their Instagram where people can vie
