Akhi Indian Restaurant

Wow, we have just had a delightful meal in Akhi. Highly recommend the Tropical Biriyani, I like my curry with a slight kick so asked for some chilli to be added. It was so tasty. My partner had the lamb shashlick, also really good. The Naan bread is homemade and really fresh. You can take your own alcohol, and glasses are provided. The service was great and staff friendly. If you are staying in Grange over Sands and love a curry, well worth visit

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant on a Saturday evening. Despite my last-minute request for a reservation, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, managing to secure a table for my party at 8pm. The service throughout the evening was impeccable, with the wait staff displaying a genuine warmth and attentiveness. They went above and beyond by offering a few suggestions from the menu, which greatly enhanced our dining experience. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the top-quality food. Although the portion sizes initially appeared small, they proved to be sufficient for our party of three. We were delighted to sample an assortment of different curries, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. If I were to make a minor suggestion, it would be to consider slightly larger portions of rice to accompany the curries. Nonetheless, the staff were exceptionally accommodating, ensuring that our culinary preferences were catered to. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, particularly for curry enthusiasts in the Lake District and its surrounding areas. From their friendly and accommodating service to the delightful array of flavorsome dishes, this establishment offers a memorable dining experience that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.

A very pleasant Indian Resturant, nice ambient feel, good service by the waiting team and quick kitchen staff. I enjoyed the panner (Indian cheese) based dishes. Palak/Saag Panner & Matar Panner. Clean and quick service, can get very busy so booking a must, especially in a small town like Grange. At the time of visit, they did not have a Licence to sell or serve Alcohol, but where happy for you to bring your own where they would provide glasses.

Whilst staying in Grange over sands for our honeymoon, my husband and I decided to try Akhi after being let down at a local pub earlier in the evening. We called ahead to double check availability as it was around 9pm. On arrival there was little in the way of a warm welcome and weren’t even offered glasses for the drinks that we had brought with us. Whilst looking at the menu we noticed a strong smell of cigarette smoke that was clearly coming from the kitchen area so can only assume that someone was smoking out the back of the kitchen. When bringing this up with the waiter he tried to offer that we move tables but was quite dismissive of the fact it smelt of smoke. At this point we felt we would be unable to enjoy the food with the smell of cigarettes filling the restaurant so chose to leave without having ordered. There was no apology as we left or even acknowledgment of the issue.

Had a lovely meal hear this evening, so welcoming, food delicious, pleasant service. No alcohol licence- not a problem took our own with no service charge and glasses supplied. Owner is a super nice guy with nothing a problem. We only in Grange over Sands for 4 days and what a find - peace, quiet and a beautiful Morcambe Bay. Try it .
