Hubby and I started a Boosting Broadway Businesses project where we do our best to support restaurants and coffee shops along Broadway. This is why we chose to have lunch at Akbar's.

| Lunch Feast from Akbar's Own Indian Restaurant |
We ordered our usual orders at Indian restaurants. The serving is not huge, but enough.
- Mixed Platter (Samosa, vegetable pakora, and chicken pakora)
- Garlic & Basil Naan
- Tandoori Chicken
- Palak Paneer
- Chicken Vindaloo
- Lamb Biryani
- Kheer
 |
| Mixed Platter Serves 2. Samosa, vegetable pakora, and chicken pakora |
When we come back, I'll order the chicken pakora again. It's the best item from the Mixed Platter.
 |
| Garlic & Basil Naan White unleavened bread baked in tandoor oven flavoured with garlic and basil. |
I think this is the best Garlic Naan I've had so far.
 |
| Tandoori Chicken Half chicken marinated with authentic Indian spices & grilled in tandoor to perfection. |
The chicken was still juicy inside, and you could taste the char from the grilling. Overall, a great Tandoori Chicken.
 |
| Palak Paneer Homemade cheese cooked with spinach, onions, and Indian spices. |
I wished the Palak Paneer had more flavour. It's pretty disappointing.
 |
| Chicken Vindaloo Boneless chicken & potatoes cooked in a zesty, tangy curry sauce. |
I like vindaloo because its flavour profile is different from your usual curry or butter chicken. It's spicy, and there's some sourness to it.
 |
| Lamb Biryani Basmati rice cooked with lamb and Indian spices. |
The biryani was flavourful, and the lamb was so tender.
 |
| Kheer Rice flour cooked in milk. Served cold, a delightful dessert of our old traditional days |
My favourite is the Lamb Biryani and the dessert. 🤤 I can't believe this is the first time I'm trying Kheer. It's delicious.

We were there at 12:02 PM, and when we ended our meal more than an hour later, there were no other customers. So if you're able to, please support your local businesses.
