Akbar (Indian)

  • November 11, 2000

Akbar (Indian)

In my opinion, Akbar has the best Indian food in the Dallas metroplex. There are plusher and more formal Indian restaurants, but Akbar is my favorite for food.

Akbar is located on Parker Road in Plano, just west of Central Expressway (there is a Parket Rd exit), in the Ruisseau Center (strip mall).

The decor is typical of Indian restaurants. Akbar has a lunch buffet that is good. You can also order from their menu.

The buffet is an excellent introduction to Indian food, for the uninitiated or if you are intimidated by the menu (but don't be). The staff are helpful with the menu.

For dinner or take out orders, I always get my favorite Murg Murch Masala, which is a VERY spicy/hot Chicken (Murg) red curry with tomato and potato that I love to spoon over their fabulous rice. They also have Indian bread (called Nan) that is served hot.

Don't worry, they have a selection of milder curry dishes, tandori dishes, and sizzling grilled dishes. In addition to chicken, there are many beef, lamb, seafood, rice, and vegetarian dishes.
