A trip to Yeovil is not complete without paying a visit to Akash Indian and Bengali Restaurant. With its modern and stylish décor, the popular location for curry fans is a treat to the eyes as much as it is to the taste buds. Exploring new and interesting taste combinations, the talented chefs have created an exciting menu full of fine authentic Indian cuisine with the addition of a modern and innovative twist.
Apple and pineapple chicken/lamb tikka is a great example of what's on offer to start. Marinated in an apple and pineapple sauce the meat is then grilled over charcoal for that authentic tandoori taste. Seafood lovers can indulge in a kakra aloo chop, where minced crab is given a cashew nut coating and then deep fried. Imagination is evident in the main courses too. Pick a meat or fish option and then select a traditional curry sauce. Plump for a patia with its blend of onions, garlic and tomato purée mixed with the sweet and sour tastes of sugar and lemon. And there's the Persian dansak made by blending spices, lentils, garlic, pineapple and sugar to make a hot, sweet and sour taste. The thali is a great idea to get a taste of several dishes at the same time. Available in meat and non meat options, small portions of several curries are served on a segmented plate, along with nan bread and rice.
Winner of many awards for culinary talent, Akash boasts a comfortable and relaxing dining room and a whole register of happy families, friends and couples who have dined in the past.
