The take away menu is available online which i found out when we lost our paper version, this recieves bonus points with me. As i said the choice is amazing and all the indian favourites are on there. The staff are very helpfull too and will make something for you if its not on the menu eg: they alwyas removed my chicked tandoori from the bone for me. My favourites though are the garlic naan breads which always arrive piping hot (along with everything else) and dripping in tasty garlic. The service is quick too.

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!

So we thought we'd give it a try based on the reviews here. What a pleasant surprise. We received a warm welcome, we hadn't booked a table, but were shown straight to a table. It was quite busy considering it was only 7:15pm. As Curryholics, we thought we'd try something a little different, so we had Poppadoms, then the Mixed Platter to start, followed by the Agni Karai, Lamb Matka and a Cheese & Garlic Nan. The food was superb. Both are medium dishes with lots of flavour & just the right amount of kick!! The bill came to £37, including drinks, so overall it was good value. The service was welcoming, friendly & helpful. Will definitely be back.

Its…read morelocated on the A66 dual carriageway between Darlington & Stockton and is very isolated, apart from the petrol station it sits next to there is nothing else around for a couple of miles so the downfall for me is I have to drive as its out of town and a little too far for a taxi. Obviously driving means no drinking so therefore even thou this is my favourite I don't manage to get there as often as I would like. The guys who run this place are not local and commute a couple of hundred miles each day and because of this they seem to put maximum effort into making your visit well worth while. Food is good (better than average) Service is 100% Decor is OK but but nothing fantastic Overall - very enjoyable and worth while

I have…read moreeaten in this restaurant for a number of years now and even though I work away, when I return this is the first place I visit and I am always glad to return as the food is orgasmically good. The menu has a modest but varying selection of meals to tempt your tastebuds ranging from very mild to very hot and any dish can be custom altered on your request to suit your particular taste. There is a fair selection of drinks available and if you want your favourite alcopop you can always pop across the road to Doc Browns when you have finished your meal. The service is great with a genuine personal touch. Even when it is busy, which is often, you are still treated with honesty and courtesy and put before the almighty persuit of profit. I advise you to book ahead if you intend to visit, as a quick telephone call could mean the difference between a considerable wait and being seated right away as all parties who have no booking are rightly seated and served on a first come first served basis. The only thing I would change about Jamal's would be the size of the restaurant, it has a warm cozy atmosphere and is very intimate which is great for talking to friends, this can be a drawback however when you get the odd individual dining that has had to much to drink meaning you could end up being closer to a drunk than you would like. But that said this is a blinding little secret that you owe it to yourself to try if you profess to be a lover of a decent curry. And of course, it always helps to eat where the chef is the holder of more that one regional award for his food!

However, once we walked into the restaurant there was no organizational skills, which continued throughout our meals. We informed two different waiters we were ready to order four times with them saying ok and walking away. Scrambling to provide service is a great way to express my experience. A party of 6 nearly walked out after waiting a long time for their food. Maybe they had a few servers call out tonight or maybe they should hire more servers? Dessert: No chai tea, or any tea for that matter and the Oreo ice cream was subpar that you could find in a convenient store. Wine: house Sauvignon blanc was light and pretty decent.
