A Lackluster Indian Takeaway Experience at Akash

I feel compelled to share my experience with Akash Indian Takeaway, especially considering my wife's Indian background and our high hopes for a satisfying meal for her parents, who were visiting from Delhi. While we understood that we couldn't expect an authentic gourmet Indian feast in Wiltshire, we were still left disappointed by the overall lack of spice, flavour, and seasoning in the food. It seemed as if the restaurant missed the memo on the essence of Indian cuisine.

We ordered a variety of dishes, hoping for an enjoyable culinary journey. However, each one fell short of expectations. The lack of understanding of spice and seasoning was evident in every bite. The food seemed uninspired and failed to capture the vibrant flavors that make Indian cuisine so beloved. It was disheartening to discover that even with our low expectations, Akash couldn't deliver a satisfying taste experience.

To emphasise the disappointment, my father-in-law took matters into his own hands and cooked a curry at our AirBNB using the few scraps we had around the house and next to no spices. Surprisingly, his homemade creation surpassed the flavors and richness of the entire meal we ordered from Akash. I assure you, I'm not saying this just to earn brownie points—it genuinely highlights the stark contrast in taste and quality.

To be fair, there were a couple of positives in this experience. The food arrived promptly, still hot, and the prices were relatively affordable. These factors, however, pale in comparison to the overall lack of flavour and authenticity that we had hoped for in an Indian takeaway.

In conclusion, if you're seeking a lackluster Indian-inspired soup experience, Akash may meet your expectations. However, if you're in search of a truly flavorsome culinary adventure with the taste and texture that Indian cuisine is renowned for, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Akash left us wanting more, and we were ultimately left unsatisfied with the overall quality...

We have been regularly ordering from Akash for 5 years and love and recommend them to everyone. We always have fresh, hot and delicious food from them. They have a very large menu selection, and we always enjoy whatever we get. As a vegetarian, I love the saag paneer. My meat eating partner orders all over the menu and has loved everything. They have very generous portions too, so we find it great value for money as we always have leftovers. Whether we collect, or ask them to deliver, they are always so kind, friendly and attentive. Their estimated wait or delivery times are always accurate. Also, one time, they forgot to put our poppadoms in our order, which is rare for them, as we typically order one, and they are always so generous to add in extras. When we let them know, they were very apologetic (it's only popadoms, not an issue at all). The next time we ordered (which was many weeks later) they remembered us by name and made a point to gave us extra, which we felt was so generous and thoughtful. They are just great. We will always order and...

ordered 2 chicken korma curries , korma from all I've eaten and ready about is a creamy , sweet curry , very coconutty. This WAS NOT it didn't taste of coconut at all , it wasn't creamy at all it was just orange and very peppery. It made both my mother and myself cough and I had a fairly severe allergy to it. (had to to take an antihistamine) I have eaten korma curries on countless occasions and never had a reaction. I even asked the waiter if he was certain we had been served korma as it was not like any korma either my mum or I had tasted. he assured my that it was and was made with powdered coconut milk?! needless to say we couldn't eat them and asked for the bill , requesting that the korma be removed , he said they would only removed one. So I paid £50 for curry and sundries we didn't eat and received the bare minimum of apologies nor offer of something else. Won't be going back. it's a shame as years and years ago it was an excellent place to got for a meal but now it in my opinion...
