After a week of pub grub and clichéd British food, it was time for some curry. Yelp to the rescue!…read more We found Akbars just a few blocks from the train station, so it made a good stop after the National Railway Museum. I thought the dishes were fine quality, tasty and not too spicy. Good prices and good portions, suitable for sharing. Loved the atmosphere, with low lighting from chandeliers with red highlights and lounge music. It seemed more modern and hip than a standard Indian joint. The crowd was a mix of small groups of businessmen and tourists, with a few families like us.

Thanks, Adam! Wandering the streets after sightseeing, I let Yelp lead me to a top rated…read morerestaurant. I was not even slightly disappointed because Akbar's is an excellent curry house. Even though I walked in at 5:15, they were happy to see me and brought me to a table near the window. The menu was a bit strange - a solidly laminated sheet - but it had all the usual curries that I've come to expect in this country. And so instead of going with the usual, I let my eye choose. I started with the Liver Tikka. I've never had this before and I would recommend it. Not at all "livery", three good sized pieces arrived on a sizzling plate with some sauteed onions and a bowl of mint sauce. Th mint was a big help because this was seriously hot. Not spicy hot, temperature hot. Wow! For mains, the "handi" was listed as 'just like we have it at home' on the menu so I thought I'd give that a try. I chose lamb instead of chicken. It took about ten minutes (the waiter warned me it would be 15) and I also opted for two chapati to go with it. Again, very hot coming from the kitchen and it had a whole lot of flavor and spice, but it wasn't "hot" spicy just really tasty. Lots of small pieces of lamb in a sauce that is beyond description. Let's just say that it was excellent and the chapati was perfect for scooping. No dessert, but the cold bottle of Kingfisher was perfect (first time in a bottle, it's usually draft). A great meal!

I asked for spangling water and flat water for my wife. What we got was complete confusion. They gave me a glass with lime juice and a warm bottle of soda water. I asked about the vodka and they had no idea what I was referring to. Eventually, they pulled out Ciroc vodka. To say that it was bad doesn't actually describe how bad the drink was. At least as of the moment we still have no sparkling water, they gave my with a glass of literal tap water. Waiting on the Raj Special and the Tikka Marsala.... This should be interesting. So the chicken tikka masala was actually pretty good. I've never had it with a red sauce, but this one did. Good, but not what I expected. My wife had the Raj and she enjoyed that. I assume the largest issue was a language barrier. Honestly, I wouldn't go back. 3/5 stars

The staff are super friendly, we ordered 4 dishes and the chef tailored each one to our personal tastes, the food is delicious. A few Indian restaurants in York have been disappointing; usually having way too much salt or just being a bit bland: the Dishes at Parvin were filled with fresh herbs & spices, not too oily or salty. Nothing beats good wholesome food. Finally, when we were so stuffed from eating and couldn't have anymore, we realised there was loads of food left so the staff packaged it all up for us to take home. When you go, ask for "Kahar" - he's the waiter we always use. You won't be disappointed. Family friendly & awesome.
