I've tried a lot of Indian places in Los Angeles, and while Curry Palace in Hollywood is still one of my faves, Akbar tops it in a number of areas. First - the food is amazing. Generous portions, perfectly balanced spices, fluffy/chewy naan bread - and very reasonably priced. I recommend the Chicken Akbari which is a cashew/saffron curry - heavenly. Also the service is great - attentive without being annoying. The ambiance is pleasant and comfortable and it's in a great location - easy parking in back, in meters out front or on side streets. I've also gotten food delivered and was happy with the experience. Check this place out - you won't be disappointed!
Pros: Everything - honestly - this place is great.
Cons: The only thing I didn't like was the chana masala - it was a bit too heavy and salty.
