Went for the ultimate whitey curry a couple of weeks back for the wifes bithday, went with friends who frequent Akbars on Leeds road and persuaded us to go there..so thought it best we book a table as their was 5 of us...table booked for 7pm on a thursday.....never again.....arrived at 6:45pm and was ushered to a small corner at the side of the bar..table finally ready and we sat down at 7:25pm....took the order pretty quicky but after 40 mins waiting, pulled the waiter to find out where the starters were hiding..he rushed off and returned with another waiter who appologised and revealed one of the starters had been dropped on the floor so they decided to recook and bring them all together...that old chestnut....not to bore you with the intimate details, we were in there over 2 hours with massive intervals inbetween starter and main....the owners sidekick gave us a round of free drinks after we had kicked off as a peace offering for waiting so long, but as we were driving that wasnt really appreciated...the truth was there was an asian wedding in the upstairs function room and all the waiters and chefs were concentrating on that....one other thing i must mention..the place was packed solid, and screaming kids in pushchairs were in abundance, why do parents let their kids scream in a restaurant and happily ignore them and keep on eating ?.........but the food was very nice, but the whole experience wasnt worth it and it will never be repeated, the cost was verging on unreal too...I was relieved to get in the car and drive away. 2/10.
