Akbar Restaurant

Came to Akbar as a tourist from out of state on recommendation from a friend. Let’s just say I found a great reason to return to the Baltimore area. Authentic Indian food and experience, I will be stopping by anytime I am back in the area and you should too! Jazz, the owner, was an incredible host and gave us great recommendations for each course of the dinner which played a huge role in getting the authentic northern Indian experience.

If you are looking for delicious Indian food and great atmosphere. I urge you to go here! The food is incredible!

Definitely recommend this place and we will definitely make the hour drive back here !

If you’re into hearty, flavorful Indian food, Akbar is a great find in Baltimore. The moment you step inside, the cozy vibe and warm service make you feel welcome — perfect for a casual dinner or a relaxed night out. I especially loved their garlic naan and chicken tikka masala; the spices are bold without being overwhelming, and the dishes feel authentic. They also have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which is a nice plus. The lunch buffet (when available) is a solid value if you want to sample a variety of items. Overall, it’s a tasty, comfortable spot for anyone craving Indian classics in Midtown.

I was so excited to have discovered Akbar while passing by this morning to go to the little quick-mart a few doors down. I ate a small breakfast, drove out to the Patapsco Valley State Park for the day, got lost in the forest and crossed a part in the river that soaked my socks and shoes, only to climb up the side of the park hill to get back onto the trail, made it to the Jeep, followed through with going to Manor Hill Tavern in Ellicott City to have a beer BUT I had stayed extremely disciplined to not eat a single thing there even though I was so hungry because I knew what I was saving myself for and that was Akbar! So here’s a shout out to Akbar and their staff and all the hard work that is paying off f
