on Citysearch Aug 05, 2009We had received a two-fer coupon and decided to try the Marina del Rey Akbar for the first time. The place was small, but nicely appointed. But where was the wonderful spicy scent, so prevalent at any Indian... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 11, 2008Service started off shakily and became worse as the evening went on. The waiter seemed to lose interest in us after we ordered the food. The 'Dinner' system involved having sides of rice, substandard dal and some... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2008I recently ordered the cheese naan for the first time, and to be honest--I can't imagine ordering any other naan ever again. I'm craving it right now. (more)

on Citysearch Nov 25, 2007We ordered a take away and it was good... But then it should be at just over $50 for two! Food came quickly from the Santa Monica branch and was warm, that hardly ever happens! We did order very early though before 6pm. It... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 12, 2007We live local and go here often. Food and vibe are both good. Pretty sure the place is owned by a couple of brothers-- the older one seems cool, the younger one isn't great. Just as well, I suppose, getting in isn't... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 26, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>Lunch-breaking office workers pack the place to the tune of upbeat Indian instrumentals. In the evening, the crowd skews toward casual couples and small groups. Beyond house-specialty... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 19, 2006Ok...food is awesome. Staff is a bit slow and the food will take a bit. I've tried most of the entrees on the menu and they are all wonderful! Hope you like spice because the food has a BIG kick to them!... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 23, 2006A casual, hip dining with a great selection of wine. Food is in top 5 of Indian restaurants on west side, better than any other Indian restaurants in Santa Monica. The manager has a great memory of what customers liked... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 27, 2006Only complaint - they don't take reservations and owner/manager likes to seat his friends ahead of waiting line. Shame, because the food and wine are quite good (more)

on Citysearch Dec 08, 2005My brother brought me and my dad here. At first i thought it wasn't gonna be that good. Boy was i wrong!, the taste of the food here is so sophistacated, so many flavors in my mouth. Started off with the Papri Chat, sort of... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 22, 2005Akbar is far from authentic Indian food. I see a lot of hash browns being used camouflaged in curry (try the malai kofta or papdi chat for that). Dinner at Akbar is a complete rip-off. The restaurant needs to add some... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 10, 2005Akbar has very authentic, affordably priced Indian food. We love their curries and their homemade breads. They will custom make your curry to be as mild or spicy as you like. The waiters are very friendly. Prices are... (more)
