Akhibachis halal food — Restaurant in Dover

My husband stumbled across this business on TikTok weeks ago! He was captured by a delicious looking salmon cheesesteak that a user posted, which was relatively in an area that we were familiar with.

The place ambiance was JUST OK. In many cases, I'm ALL about eye-catching décor, looks of inviting spaces to support and especially purchase safe code inspected food options from. I'm not so sure how long the establishment has been around. It could use some updates & sprucing up to the space for sure.

The gentleman taking our order was very patient, kind, and generous with answering ALL of our questions and taking our orders. Which, I feel, sets the tone of any business visit.

Welp, our mission was simply to get our stomachs on HAPPY with operation "Salmon cheesesteak" - anything remotely close to a signature Philly like taste is going to be a homerun for us.

The most amazingly beautiful and talented, what one would possibly describe as amateur artwork adorned the walls throughout the space. From captivating African Queens, beautiful vibrant colors with families, to world renowned sports figures (KOBE Bryant & Gigi 🕊🕯) , endless prolific civil rights activists, athletes, big lists authors, music artists, President Obama, and even a little kids library at the entrance.

So, the mouth-watering salmon cheesesteak actually brought us to the establishment via TT. My husband searches for different places for us to try, or dine, or to explore near our home, of course, that's in driving distance.

The sandwich was absolutely delicious! It had shrimp, broccoli, sautéed onions, and green peppers (which I'm not particularly a fan of), it appeared to have zucchini pieces as well on it. Prepared to perfection.

Ahhh, from the soft and chewy bread, the endless flavors were captivating, an endless list of sauces to add to the steak, and the #1 special Akhi sauce was definitely the icing on the cake! My husband loved the proportionate sized with skin on french fries as well. The jerk sauces seemed to be a customer's favorite, as well they were ALL sold out that BUSY day! *SN: unbeknownst to us this particular Saturday, it was an event called: OctDOVERfest the afternoon thst we decided to venture out & explore for this weekend.

I would have given a 5 🌟 for just the salmon cheesesteak, however; the first step into the business sets the tone. I struggled with this rating because honestly, MOST cheesesteak places don't have the best appealing appearance - however; the food speaks volumes for itself.

We definitely would go back for another juicy salmon...

Place looks different than the pictures on Google. Maybe they moved. Google maps also had me turn at the traffic light when I should have went straight and it's right there.

Anyway, I was looking for some interesting food in the area and decided to give this place a try.

I ordered a lamb or beef cheesesteak I can't remember and it came with fries. I got extra white truffle sauce on it and the fries. I got a side of Mambo sauce.

Let's start with the fries. They were fantastic, skin on. Seemed like they were fresh cut smelled really delicious and tasted great as well. Not sure what seasoning they put on them. I honestly think they were seasoned perfectly. I could have ate them as is The Mambo sauce was really good. A nice combination of spicy, sweet and tangy.

The cheesesteak was also fantastic. The truffle sauce was excellent and I honestly want to go back for more. The steak was cooked perfectly and had peppers in it. I opted for no onions. Seems like a very good portion size and a good ratio of cheese to meat.

The only negative thing I can say is I didn't care for the bread while the bread was fresh it was too thick. Next time I think I would go for a platter. That next time is probably today. I am not from the area and it takes me over an hour to get here but I enjoyed the food that much. I hope they're open but if not that's okay. I am actually going here to the casino...

Was so excited to finally try this place out as the pics of the food they have been sharing on social media looked delicious. Unfortunately, our first time experience was an epic fail. A group of us ordered food for lunch today and was placed at exactly 12:01pm. We were told told it should be ready by 12:50pm. The person who was supposed to pick up the food checked in at 12:50 and was told the food wasnt ready yet. He ended up not getting our order until 1:43 PM!!! No one even bothered to update him with the status so he had to keep asking about it. The front workers/person taking orders over the phone don't seem that friendly either.

Now onto the food.. I will admit and give them credit for the ones that were made right: curry chicken, teriyaki chicken and teriyaki salmon. But that's about the only thing that was good. Two of the orders were completely missing the sauce which made the steak even worse as it had no flavor whatsoever. I was also told the shrimp cheesesteak wasn't that great and not worth ordering either. To top the icing on the cake, I get to almost the end of my meal only to find A SMALL PIECE OF HAIR!!! 🤢... So disappointed.

We will definitely not be returning here nor will we be recommending the place. Good food but slow and poor...
