Akbar's

About

Akbar’s is a celebrated family‑owned chain that began its journey in 2008 with a modest 28‑seat restaurant in the heart of Bradford. Founded by entrepreneur Shabir Hussain, the brand has grown into a popular destination for authentic South Asian cuisine across the United Kingdom, with its flagship location now nestled in Sheffield’s bustling city centre. The menu showcases a wide range of classic Indian dishes – from richly spiced curries to tandoori delicacies – all prepared using fresh, high‑quality ingredients. The environment blends contemporary hospitality with a warm, welcoming ambience that suits families, couples, and solo food enthusiasts alike. Beyond the food, Akbar’s has cultivated a reputation for stellar service and accessibility: the restaurant welcomes children of all ages, offers gluten‑free, vegan, and halal options, and is fully wheelchair‑accessible. Guests can dine in, take away, or, if they prefer, experience the vibrant local community through live music nights or special events tailored for different culinary seasons. The Sheffield branch operates from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm (with extended Friday and Saturday hours until 11:30 pm), ensuring that diners have ample evenings to explore the rich flavours of South‑Asian cuisine while enjoying the convenience of a modern, well‑located dining space.
