The food is very tasty and nicely presented. We had the summer week menu offer and was really good. It’s not the traditional Indian dishes, they have a twist to them. The service was fantastic, very attentive and knowledgeable. I also tried the Indian wine and was pleasantly surprised - never tried it before. All in all it worths a visit!!!!

I had a lovely evening dining at Akira Back with my wife. The overall experience was truly impressive, the food exceeded our expectations, beautifully presented and full of flavor. The staff were attentive, warm, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the evening. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and thoughtfully designed, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed dinner. One small note: while the dim lighting added to the atmosphere and felt quite pleasant at first, we felt that a touch more light during the meal itself would have enhanced the dining experience, especially when it came to fully appreciating the presentation of the dishes. That said, it was a memorable evening, and we look forward to visiting again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience with excellent food and service.
