Akbar, with genuine Indian character and charm, is aptly named after the Grand Mogul Emperor famous for splendor of his hospitality, fabulous feasts and elegance of living. As the first Indian Restaurant in Long Island, Akbar has lived up to its name, providing unparalleled services to its guests for years. Inspired by the diverse tastes and flavors from India, each chef at Akbar not only brings years of culinary expertise to each dish, but also has his own specialty, creating a unique balance in each menu item. An elegant setting with dramatic high ceilings, plush carpeting, Indian carvings, and the romantic glow of candle light add to the memorable and unique dining experience.

    Really awesome traditional Indian food. Always consistent. Never had a bad meal here. Service is impeccable. Old school, with carpet on the floor and table cloths on the table. Nice to see something traditional that’s still able to “the distance!” Highly recommend.

    The food, ambiance and service is excellent. Akbar is our favorite Indian food restaurant and the quality of the food is excellent. They have been updating the decor and have 3 different rooms and is a great choice of venue for your celebrations. They have a nice wine selection and have introduced some new cocktails. They now will be serving brunch starting in March and I can’t wait to try it. The prices are definitely reasonable especially for the quality of the food!

    This is a consistently good restaurant. I haven’t been in a long time but it’s just as good as it was when they first opened in this spot. But their samosas have suffered a bit. Not quite as large or flaky as they were about 20 years ago 😂 but to be expected. Still delicious 😋
