  The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the tikka masala, requested it extra spicy & my dish did not disappoint!! Everything tasted great. My family also had their dishes come out accommodating to their taste as well. Our waiter was incredibly kind and accommodating ! Great food, great service, and such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back!

  Physically, Akbar-Marina del Rey is an unpretentious restaurant, but don't be misled: it is an excellent culinary experience. Their quality starts with their cooking oil. They don't use cheap soybean-based "vegetable oil." For those of us sensitive to soy in all its forms, even the oil, this is a true gift. It continues with thoughtful and personal service from everyone in the front of the house. We have eaten there several times and never been disappointed. In fact, we have found ourselves delighted and sometimes surprised. Take last night for example. We went there for dinner intending to order chicken tandoori, baigan bharta and bhindi masala, plus rice and papadum (for me, strictly gluten free due to celiac disease) and naan (for him, fortunate man with only his conscience to restrict him). These are some of our favorites. We did order the baigan bharta and the bhindi masala (which, by the way, has to be one of the best in the city). But we also ordered two of the night's specials: crabmeat curry and fish molee. They sounded as if they would be stellar and they absolutely were. The crabmeat curry was shelless lump crab meat mixed throughout the seasoned sauce. The fish molee was made with Alaskan cod, which will change based on what is available seasonally. Although both dishes were coconut milk-based, they did not taste at all the same. They were such elegant dishes that we were really happy to hear that they are going to be permanently added to the menu. I know it sounds like some kind of advertising (and I'm not anything but a customer, not any kind of influencer), but I can honestly say that sharing these two entrees along with the vegetables, rice and papadum and naan elevated our evening into something special. And we have leftovers to look forward to!

  Best tandoori chicken I have had in India, the US, or anywhere else for that matter. Marinaded beyond belief in delicious spices that penetrated every piece of meat. Lamb chops were also excellent and a unique option you don’t see in most Indian restaurants, as was the delicious spicy garlic shrimp. Fantastic. Only flaw was a slightly unclean table, so I took one star off the service.
