Akbar offers well-prepared Indian food at reasonable prices in a comfortable, contemporary setting. The tandoor produces not only the usual chicken, kebabs and puffy breads, but also such specialties as Chilean sea bass. Other specials include soft shell crab and bison tandoori. Chefs make the chutneys---coconut, cilantro and pickled vegetable---fresh daily. Curries include a pepper-lamb hinting of saffron and prawns with a delicate accent of coconut. There are vegetarian choices, too. Mango cheesecake is one of the refreshing desserts. In addition to the requisite Indian beers, there's a well-chosen and fairly priced wine list. If you've never tried wine with Indian food, take the plunge. Other locations.
