    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!

    Akbars - Family sized garlic naan.  Enough for the family alright, or the family could use these bad boys for curtains.

    Fire me up and let me rip. Well maybe not the let me rip bit as that would be quite anti-social but…read moreI'm feeling the need for some tangy, firey and hopefully awesome food and a know a place which has my name on it. Street is an Indian restaurant tucked away in Brighouse and has quite a reputatation. Now reputations don't mean too much to me (never a truer word said), as I like to make my own mind up but it can't hurt. To look at it's pleasant but nothing out of the ordinary but that would be doing it a huge misjustice. The staff were friendly and pretty efficient which considering it was quite busy was an added bonus these days. We decided to try the buffet downstairs and this is the main puller. If you don't like crowds then quite frankly you are probably a bit odd. Failing that and you are not odd then swerve the buffet and try the sit down menu upstairs which looks superb. As it was the buffet was fantastic value for money and very impressive Kashmiri food. Loads of vegetarian dishes and meat ones alike. Oh and anywhere that has "sexy" mushrooms has got to be somewhere to shout about. I was half expecting the fungi to be wearing provocative mini skirts and stockings but alas they were just mushrooms but mighty tasty ones at that. I'm also realiably informed that the take away meals are top notch. Rubbish name in my humble oppinion but excellent cuisine.

    What a find, hidden away down a side street. Delicious food, nice atmosphere, very friendly and…read morehelpful staff. Our favourite Asian restaurant by a long way.
