Akbar serves delicious Indian cuisine in a beautiful restaurant. The menu options are vast although, we only had time for appetizers. The lamb chops and chicken were amazing. The service was excellent and the Indian spice hot tea was the perfect addition to the food we tasted.

Highly recommend.

I hosted my engagement party here, and working with Varun Kashyap made the entire experience exceptional. From the initial planning and booking process all the way through to the event itself, Varun was incredibly helpful, attentive, and flexible. He allowed us to fully customize every detail we envisioned, making the celebration feel truly personal.

The food menu was outstanding, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Everyone had a wonderful time, and the event went smoothly from start to finish.

If you’re considering booking an event here, I highly recommend speaking with Varun—he’ll make sure your occasion is unforgettable!

I worked with Sandeep over the summer for a wedding, and it was absolutely wonderful—a night to remember. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. He really took care of our event, my family was stress-free, and our guests truly enjoyed themselves! Everyone had an amazing time! I would 100% recommend!

Sharing some photos; hopefully, they speak for themselves 🙂

Thank you, Sandeep and Akbar Restaurant, for making the event so memorable!

I visited this Indian restaurant and catering hall with friends, and I have to say I was really impressed with both the food and the service. The food wasn’t overly spicy—unless you request it—and was packed with flavor. Their mango drink was delightfully thick and smooth. My favorite dishes were the chicken vindaloo, Gobi Manchurian (fried cauliflower), and garlic naan. I would definitely come back to this place again!

Food was simply amazing, not too spicy and just very well seasoned. I haven’t been to India but I’d say it’s authentic Indian cuisine. Very much a “mom and pop” restaurant vibe the way they take care of you. Would absolutely go again.

Akbar in Long Island has been a favorite of mine for years, but their new Sunday brunch is truly something special. I’ve seen them evolve over time, and this latest offering showcases a noticeable refinement in their execution while staying true to authentic Indian flavors.
We opted for the à la carte brunch, which allowed us to sample a wide variety of dishes. As a long-time fan of Channa Masala, I can confidently say Akbar’s version did not disappoint. It was perfectly spiced and incredibly flavorful. The Saffron Cardamom French Toast was a delightful surprise – light, airy, and a unique twist on a brunch classic.
The beverage experience was equally impressive. Robert at the bar crafted an amazing Jambu Refresher, a refreshing and perfectly balanced cocktail.
Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was fantastic. The host/owner was incredibly lively and welcoming, making the entire experience feel warm and inviting. Their enthusiasm truly elevated our brunch.
If you’re looking for an authentic and exceptional Indian brunch experience in Long Island, I highly recommend Akbar. The new Sunday brunch is a testament to their commitment to quality and innovation.

We had a great experience dining at Akbar. We came here on the Sunday for Mother’s Day and were very excited to try their brunch menu. Unfortunately, when we got there we found out that it was a brunch buffet so we didn’t get a chance to try the menu. It also was very busy so they had set up an overflow room that looked to be part of their banquet area. The set up was very similar to an event and didn’t feel very much like a restaurant and was way too loud. Thankfully the staff were able to move us back into the restaurant area and we had a much better dining experience.

Food: They had so many options on the brunch buffet, a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Some of my favorite item were the chaat station where you could make your own chaat mix. They had so many different ingredients to put into your chaat and a few different chutneys. I do think it would have been nice to have someone there who would mix all the ingredients and properly shake it up for you as it was hard to mix on the small plates.
The pain puri was very disappointing, the water was way too sour and it didn’t have any flavor. I could barely even tell it was pain puri flavors.
They had a dosa station there – someone was making fresh masala dosas. He was also able to make you a plain dosa if you asked.

For hot veggie appetizers, they had hakka noodles, chili paneer, and gobi Manchurian. The hakka noodles were excellent, I don’t think I’ve ever had such flavorful noodles. The only downside was that they were a bit cold in the buffet tray. The chili paneer was well flavored and the gobi Manchurian was nice crunchy.

They had a lot of mains on the buffet: 1 yellow dal, 2-3 curries, and 2 vegetable dishes. The mains were good. And they were amazing and made us fresh chili naan for our table at no additional cost.

Service: everyone was very friendly and helpful. They checked in on us and always had a smile.

Price: The buffet brunch was $40/person and given the number of items I do think it was a fair price.
