“Akbar strikes a handsome compromise between the ceremonial and the unassuming. Prices are reasonable by the norms of New Jersey"s Indian restaurants. The menu is unusually concise. Akbar's food is good, and some of it is exceptional. Akbar already ranks among the noblest of New Jersey Indian Restaurants..."

    The only good thing about this restaurant is the decor. Food and service quality was very bad.

    Took a guest over the weekend, am disappointed to have gone here. Only one type of Roti (bread), only chicken for meat (every other place I see Two varieties of non-veg - chicken and goat or fish) and food taste was average, not the Akbar food that I experienced much earlier. Many other places give a much much larger spread, more so on a weekend. Silver lining is that there were few customers that meant no wait time like at other restaurants.

    The food was good. The decor was interesting. There were 2 weddings going on in the catering hall across the hall which added to the noise level. One suggestion for the management, please clean the menus. Food fingerprints create a bad first impression.

    You can't go wrong with Akbar if you are in mood for an Indian meal fix. Went in for late dinner with family, ordered 2 appetizers, drinks and main course. Food quality is great and service was impeccable as always. Waiter came over to ask for water when glass was empty and they replaced the naans which were cold coz we were busy talking rather than eating :).

    I think my coworker described Akbar best: "It's fine, and the lunch buffet is $8.95, so I'll be back." Our worst comment was that it was just... fine. But for the price for the lunch buffet, that might be okay.
