Brilliant family meal we had there yesterday evening; brilliant Curries Brilliant atmosphere; I’ve been with both uni societies and with my family so a great venue for both types of events. Akmal’s has got such a great menu; greatly recommend to anyone in Leeds; to be honest I’d travel to Leeds just to try a curry at Akmal’s! There Mango Lassi is the best I’ve ever had as well! (I’m not joking the mango lassi at Akmal’s is top of the range!) Mr Akmal himself is a wonderful gentleman too!
