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.

    This is a consistently good restaurant. I haven’t been in a long time but it’s just as good as it was when they first opened in this spot. But their samosas have suffered a bit. Not quite as large or flaky as they were about 20 years ago 😂 but to be expected. Still delicious 😋

    Been going to Akbar for many years and when I feel for Indian food, I make the 30 mins ride there. I really miss their lunch buffet which gives you option to taste the various foods. Now I have to rely on what I remembered during the buffet lunch experience prior to covid 😞

    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.
