About this business

Set in the heart of mid-town's busy Mount Vernon neighborhood, this quiet, softly lit oasis of a restaurant is the perfect place to restore yourself with a savory lunch or unwind with a hearty dinner. The décor is muted, the furnishings solid, the staff mature and sure-footed and the traditional Indian cuisine- Sagwala, Makhani, Pulao are simply perfect. All the elements combine to make a visitor feel comfortable and relaxed. The lunch buffet is one of the city's best bargains.

If you like it hot On recommendation from friends who know I like HOT food, my husband and I ate here. WOW! Their shrimp vindaloo was the BEST I ever tasted! I ordered it "call out the fire department" hot and they didn't disappoint! Not just hot, but very nicely spiced. My husband ordered a milder dish (korma) and it was wonderful, too. Definitely plan to eat here again on our next vacation to Baltimore!

Very good afgan food One of the best ethnic food restaurants in town. With a great atmosphere to boost. Beautiful pillows abound, candles everywhere, and extra spicey food. The depth and complexity of the flavors are hard to beat. PROS: Great food CONS: None

Perfect for dinner alone, with a special someone, or with friends From the outside, one might not expect much from this restaurant. Once you go inside, you appreciate its romantic atmosphere. Eating here, is like eating a wonderful home cooked meal with all the trimmings. Their lunch buffet is a must try because it is low priced and includes many items. The staff is very friendly and will help you decide on the perfect meal, if you cannot choose from the many items.

The best Indian restaurant...and I've tried many My husband and I have been fans of Akbar for nine years, ever since he took me on a quest for vegetarian food when we were hanging out in college. They have a great selection for veg and non-veg and we have loved every single entree we've tried. The naan is spectacular and my favorite drink, the mango lassi, is quite good here. The quality of food and service is consistent every time we've visited. I've tried many other Indian restaurants in Baltimore and several other cities ... read more

Indian Restaurant with Bad Customer Service I don't know if this is a great location, there are two or more other Indian restaurants in the neighborhood. They are poor on customer service. They say they'll give you rice with each entree, but they don't. And when you ask for it, they make a big, deal...how inexpensive is the rice compared to losing the customer. There is street parking available, which might take a while to find. The food is consistent as the places accross the street. I think there is price gauging involved,... read more

Avoid these arrogant people...read on – I have eaten in hundreds of restaurants all over the world and I never met such a behaviour as I did in Akbar in Baltimore. We went to this restaurant and ordered two dishes. The place looked pretty nice and the prices were not cheap but acceptable. When my dish came I started to eat, and after I had eaten about 1/3 of it (which was pretty fine but salty) I saw something moving in my plate. In general I am not a person who is disgusted and if for example I find a hair or even a small f... read more
