$$$$ • Indian • Leidseplein
Our first time at Akbar Indian Restaurant and definitely not our last. I booked a table for dinner with my American colleague and we both really enjoyed the whole experience.
We started with a cold Kingfisher beer and cumin papadums, served with homemade mint sauce and mango chutney — such a nice way to begin the evening. The Mint Tikka and Paneer Pakora were great starters, and for the main course we had the King Prawns Jalfrezi and Lamb Shahi Korma. Both were full of flavour and went perfectly with the Bhindi Bhaji, Aloo Gobi, vegetable biryani, paratha, chapatis and butter naan.
We finished with Rabri and Pistachio Kulfi, which was a lovely ending to the meal.
Everything we ordered was tasty, well prepared and full of flavour. We had a really enjoyable dinner and would happily come back next time we are in Amsterdam. Definitely worth booking if you enjoy good Indian food.
