| Named for Mughal emperor Akbar the Great, this local favorite of Indian food lovers offers well-executed dishes and professional service. From the kitchen, chef Kan Singh proves his mastery of Northern Indian cuisine by cooking authentic Kashmiri and Mughlai dishes enhanced with puffy breads and delicately balanced spices and flavours. Lightly fried shrimp pakoras, zinging with ginger and green chilies, are crunchily wrapped in sesame-seed batter. Particularly good are the fiery prawn vindaloo or the more subtle prawn Kashmiri, cooked with butter, tomatoes, apples and cream. The biryanis, heady with saffron and shot through with your choice of chicken, lamb, prawns or vegetables, are standouts. Vegetarians will also be pleased by dishes including the irresistible alu gobi---chopped cauliflower and potato. |
