This is one of the greatest restaurants in York area. Food tastes deliciously awesome. Lamb chops and chicken wings were good. Don't forget to try jumbo nan. Nice ambiance, no wait perfect for get together and hangouts.

Review Highlights - Akbars

Found reviews on yelp for a few places that had good reviews, but settled on Akbar's because Chicken Tikka Masala was on the menu.

Viceroy Of India - Curries

Viceroy Of India

Some of the best Indian food I've had across America and England, and I eat a lot of Indian food…read more Such a huge variety of curries, and they really do taste different. Each one is super flavorful, and I love their ability to make it as mild or spicy as you want. I really think you can't go wrong just trying things here, but I recommend the Madras and Desi Handi especially. Also love that everything comes out steaming hot -- so hot it's placed on metal pedestals. Keeps the curries hot much longer. And the portions! Normally I order 2-3 curries per person at Indian restaurants. Here, each one is a big enough meal on its own. I do wish there were 1/2 portions, so we could share and try more things, but I appreciate the amount you get for your money here. I will say, I didn't love the chicken tikka masala my friend got. It was a bit too on the sweet side for me. And that's normally a dish I love. So maybe just don't order that. And I do wish they had dosas, although I know that's South Indian. It's just a nice gluten-free "bread" option for people like me who can't eat naan or roti.

Came here for some high quality Indian food and that's what I got!…read more Visiting England, one thing on my to-do list was to have a nice Indian meal. Why? Because Indian food as I know and love it can actually be traced back to Britain. Mmmmm curries. Who doesn't love Indian food, and where better to eat it than a country where much of what I love about it was perfected? Came in with a friend and was seated fairly quickly. While there were others in the restaurant, it wasn't bustling. I ordered us a bottle of Malbec, which was very reasonably priced and was up to snuff taste-wise. For food, we ordered a vindaloo, korma, and paneer. All were delicious! The perfect level of spice on each of the dishes-- even though three dishes plus naan and rice is a lot of food, between the two of us we somehow nearly finished it. Viceroy met my high standards and expectations for a spices feast in York. Even though its outside the wall and main tourist area, I think it's worth a little jaunt :)
