Abu'l-Fath Jalal ud-din Muhammad Akbar, popularly known as Akbar I and later Akbar the Great, was Mughal Emperor from 1556 until his death. He was the third and one of the greatest rulers of the Mughal Dynasty in India. Akbar was a patron of art and culture - and under his leadership the foundations for a multicultural empire were formed - and it's from this vast and diversified land that we bring you a taste of India.
Whilst India has eaten spicy food from time immemorial, it was not until the Moghul invasions that Indian curry flowered into its finest form. The invaders brought with them a number of new culinary ideas which blended happily with the old Hindu and Muslim styles of cooking.

Very beautiful restaurant with delicious Indian and Thai food and very good services provided to the customers. Just returned home from a lovely meal at Akbar the Great in Darlington. Booked a table of 8, 7 arrived with one coming a bit later, not a problem for the 2 gentlemen staff. Ordered drinks and mains and when our late arrival came she ordered and all of the delicious food was brought out together.

We have had a few takeaways from here last year and they were always lovely. Finally got round to sitting in on Saturday, the restaurant inside was beautiful and absolutely spotless and the food was delicious and a good price for great quality food, with not just the typical Indian meals on the menu which for me is a bonus as I like to try new things! Definitely somewhere we will return too in future!

This is not Indian food I am sorry. Loads of quantity per item but quality totally flat. No salt, no flavour, no spice. I have visited Darlington only on holiday and took a big takeaway.. chicken tikka biryani, veg biryani, paneer tikka, paneer masala (it can be sold as a desert to be honest not curry this one) , mushroom paneer And Chana Puri all were horrible and tasteless. Papodams they were generous. Never threw that much food. Please give this lovely town properly cooked Indian food kindly don't fool them with sweet curries..

Was away for the weekened so nipped in here for a curry. Staff and premises excellent. BYOB/water for the table. Poppadoms and dips were excellent. Onion bhaji's were fantastic. Chicken tikka rogan josh i found a little bland, not as rich as i normally like it, but that's a personal thing. Pilau rice and garlic Naan, very nice. Overall very impressed and priced very good too.
