Akbar Cuisine of India

Very nice restaurant in Pasadena with yummy curry and Chef’s selection. They have very crab curry with a lot of crab meat. The portion is large. Salmon tandoori is also very good.

We kicked things off at Akbar Cuisine of India with the mango lassi—so creamy and refreshing! Then came the crispy cauliflower fritters and a juicy watermelon salad that hit just right. The crab curry with warm naan was rich and packed with flavor, followed by coco lamb and tender lamb biryani that absolutely melted in our mouths. The spicy chicken wings brought the perfect kick, and the salmon was beautifully cooked. We ended on a sweet note with creamy pistachio ice cream!

Nice restaurant ambiance. Chicken Kati roll delicious (recommend)! Garlic and plain naan light and fluffy. Good portions of meat. Mango lassi tasty :) Lunch specials come with rice, naan, cucumber onion salad and dal- very filling. Attentive and friendly service. Worth trying out!
