Taken a while to write a review but determined to do so as the did was excellent. Had a family get together around Christmas last year and everyone wanted a curry. Found this on line searching for something a little better than most. Ordered the food (massively over ordered but it didn’t go to waste) and it arrived as promised. The whole family found it superb. Have since recommended to everyone I know. The cost was incredibly reasonable too. Will order again.

Absolutely fabulous food, we ordered the roast lamb box and the mixed curry box, we still have 6 curries, one rice and 4 flatbreads left, used the leftover lamb and it’s bone to make another curry, having used 4 flatbreads for a different meal all together. The food was incredibly delicious, will definitely be ordering again, thank you for making my twins’ 25th birthday so memorable xxx

Curry boxes are superb! I recently ordered a mixed box, along with a couple of keema curries, and everything eaten so far has been fabulous! High end restaurant quality food, prepared very easily, from frozen, at home. Very generous portions and nothing like the usual high street style - for example, the chicken madras was rich and full of flavour, rather than overpoweringly hot. Nans and rice are both particularly good, too. Ordering was easy and delivery efficient, with everything well packed, in an insulated box, with several ice packs. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer.

Very tasty curries, real depth of flavour. Not as hot as I would have liked, the chicken madras had some warmth, the lamb bhuna had no discernible heat but tasted great. Unfortunately this was my first time ordering and DHL somehow managed to deliver it 4 hours late and to the wrong address! If I'm paying £10 for delivery I expect better service than that.

A little confused as one curry had a sticker that said not frozen but it was and the rice wasn’t frozen but ate those first. Will definitely order again.

I've just eaten a great meal sent to me from my son on my birthday. I'm a pescatarian so it's often hard to order for me.

We have been fortunate enough to dine at Opheem which resulted in our temptation to give Aktar at home a whirl. This was a good decision and one which we’ve repeated since! All this culminated in us receiving an email detailing the Aktar at home “Christmas Box” I normally host Christmas for all the family and cook everything from scratch …. However this year I was working right up to Christmas Eve then hosting for 9 on Christmas Day. After some discussion with my husband (and the realisation that this wasn’t just a “curry box” ) we decided to go ahead & order one. I was a little apprehensive really putting all my hopes for a fabulous Christmas dinner in a boxed delivery arriving on 23rd Dec 🥴 so … after receiving, prepping and indeed eating the absolutely fabulous contents of this box I just had to leave a review. At a cost of £370 it wasn’t exactly cheap but oh my word the value of the 3 course meal & extras inside was beyond worth it and helped to make our Christmas extra special with a little point of difference this year Thank you, it was outstanding ! I just might have to do it all again next year it was so delicious!! ❤️

Consistently excellent. Well labelled ingredients, so that we can work out what the vegan and the lactose intolerant household members can be fed. Vegan and lactose intolerant isn’t too hard because both can eat vegan although the lactose intolerant can eat meat without dairy in the sauce. We two omnivores love it. Aktar seems to be one of the few top grade restaurants who have continued to deliver long range at home when restaurants reopened after the Covid lockdowns.

Had my first ever delivery yesterday and we tried the Murgh Makhni, Lamb Bhuna Banjara, Veg Biryani & fluffy nans. The Lamb was tender and well spiced, the veg biryani was nice with the touch of mint in it and the nan breads the best I have had. But one negative for me was the chicken in the murgh makhni, it was advertised as Tandoori chicken but what was in the dish wasn't Tandoori chicken as I know it, it was plain chicken thighs which were bordering tough. So slight disappointment on that dish, but the rest were good.

On my sisters recommendations we ordered the smoked leg of Lamb. It was amazing, beautiful Lamb, we were able to carve some from the centre with with less spice for our 2 year old granddaughter. The currys were all new flavours to us. All delicious. There were 5 adults and the 2 year old for dinner. I made a Lamb rice dish with the 2nd dish of rice and some fresh veg. We had naan left over with we had as Lamb kebab style wraps. I still have some lamb left in the freezer which is destined for a lamb filo pie with an Indian style salad. The whole meal was great value for money, delicious and had clear, easy to follow instructions. I am now looking at the Tandoori box for a summer bbq. But can't wait for an excuse to have the lamb again.

We had our second curry box last night - our extended family of eight enjoyed an outstanding Indian buffet feast with plenty for everyone and easily enough for ten. At £73 for the box or £7.30 per head for a top quality meal it represents remarkable value for money! With our first box during Covid we froze all the curries and had several varied meals over a series of weekends. Doing a whole box for a family meal required a different approach. In order to get all the curries out at the same time we decanted them into oven-proof dishes and heated them in our oven for over an hour covered in aluminium foil, checking them regularly until they were piping hot and the meat reached 72 degrees (as recommended in the instructions which actually say heat in a pan or a microwave, but it can be done in the oven). The bread, rice and pea and potato samosas were equally excellent and easy to prepare according to the instructions. Delivery was on schedule by DPD and the innovative packaging keeps the box contents in prime frozen condition. All in all the curry box is a real winner!

It would be difficult for me to be more lavish with praise of the curries that we've had from Aktar. They have all been absolutely superb. On Saturday there were 10 of us for evening dinner and many of them had never enjoyed Aktar curries before. I’d suggested that we all have something different so that everyone could have the bulk of their own choice with a sample of some of the others. This worked really well. The portions are generous. We’d bought 10 small rectangular pie dishes (https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ikea-365-oven-dish-white-10286733/) and they were perfect for holding 1 Aktar curry each. Each dish was covered with foil. 5 pie dishes in each of two 42cm x 30cm oven trays fitted in the oven perfectly. The naans, coated with garlic oil/butter and wrapped in foil went at the bottom of the fan oven. It's best to heat everything long and slow to give maximum flexibility in when to serve. Our curries were heated at 120°C for about 90 minutes. Rice was microwaved. The variety of different favours makes Aktar special - every single person on Saturday raved about the quality. One 86 year old (!) summed it up perfectly when he described the wonderful depth of flavour. Needless to say, we will be back!

Fabulous food and fantastic value. Memorable birthday meal for husband from the curry menu light years away from from anything available in Lancashire. Well packed, delivered on schedule with huge portions. My husband is still raving about the Murgh Makhani and I will be dreaming about the Keralan Beef for some time. We still have at least another 2 generous meals and an unopened Rogan Josh to go. Have had the Raan lamb before and the curry selections keep up the top notch standards.

Now then…Heineken claimed they were the best lager in the world….but personally do not agree. When it comes to curry, are simply magnificent…the meals we have had from Aktar make mockery of the local takeaways. The depth of flavour and layers of complexity make you wonder ‘why’ you put up with the meat in the brown sauce you get locally. Price for price this is the best ever.

Visited the restaurant for the 10 course tasting menu with family. Absolutely lovely service, best restaurant in Birmingham. Each dish was served with explanation from chefs and food was presented as an palate of art and flavours were immaculate. Top class service from all staff, we even had the chance to see Akhtar in action training his chefs. Also they cater for gluten free and dairy free guests. Would visit again definitely.

Had curries now for a couple of years, disappointed with the latest Murgh Makhini, used to be plenty of good sized pieces of chicken, latest batch, very small and limited chicken and too much sauce. It filled the container but not any where near as good as it was. Maybe price increases are driving a lowering of ingredients, tastes OK but sadly lacking in the meat content.

I love Indian and Asian food, I cook it myself and I am lucky enough to eat out at many good restaurants, but I have always found takeaway to be lacking. A friend recommended Aktar at Home and I admit I was sceptical, but I still decided to give it a try. Well... what a revelation and I am so glad I did. The mutton and chicken curries are absolutely top class, perfectly spiced and full of superbly blended flavours - easily as good or better than many restaurant dishes. I am a confirmed fan and will be ordering again soon.

The leg of lamb was HUGE and absolutely delicious , The vegetable curries were so tasty and the rice and naans beautifully light and fluffy. There were 7 very greedy adults and one Curry loving 7 year old (who polished of 3 helpings) and yet there is still enough leftover lamb to make a curry for todays evening meal.

A great alternative Easter leg of lamb. What a treat: flavours are superb, and the portions are enormous. It fed 6 hungry adults and I still have enough lamb leftover to make into another large curry. We did the naans on the BBQ, with just a splash of water (just 5 eaten…3 of the 8 are in the freezer), the pilau is delicious (half of that left for another day), and the vegetarian sides were a great variety of heat & textures - -plenty left there, too. The lamb was started off in the oven where I can control the heat better & then moved to the BBQ to come up to core temperature. All in all an excellent meal: and I wasn’t glued to the oven all Easter Sunday. Thank you: can’t wait to find an excuse to try more!

Dined at Opheem and was blown away, ordered the leg of lamb 3 times, its amazing. Don't know how many curry boxes, been ordering since the start. However i feel the last one I had wasn't as good as the previous ones. The earlier ones had such contrasts of flavours and spice. This time I feel that they were too similar in taste. But my main criticism is the level of spice. I like some heat to my currys, but they were right on the edge of being too hot, which in my opinion detracts from the wonderful flavours of Indian food. Will go back to Opheem and order the leg of lamb again, but will think twice before ordering another curry box.

I can completely endorse what others write here. These curries are infinitely superior to most high-street offerings (although possibly not in Birmingham!) and it is a great pleasure to have discovered them. The portions are extremely generous and often exceed the quoted weights, and preparation is a doddle. Still have a dhal to go, and I will be interested to see how it compares with my own, as it's one of the few Asian dishes I have mastered. If I were to add just a tiny dampener, a couple of the meat curries (Lamb Bhuna, Keralan Beef) had a little too much salt for my taste, but that might have been a one-off. Keep up the wonderful work!

For the two of us we tried two dishes and had half left over so we will have that later. Great grub!

I ordered the leg of lamb box as a surprise for my husbands birthday (busy times so we wanted to be able to relax at home rather than go out somewhere). The packaging meant everything arrived in perfect condition and it is clear a lot of thought has been put into this let alone the dishes themselves. Everything arrived still frozen and exactly on schedule. Cooking and heating was super easy given the clear instructions provided. When I opened the leg of lamb itself to get it in the oven, the smell was incredible and even my husband (who was upstairs on the other side of the house) could smell it and came downstairs to see what I was doing! The side dishes were all wonderful. My husband typically doesn't like chickpeas because of their texture, but he decided that was actually his favourite side as it was so tasty! I think my favourite was between the aloo and the lentils. The rice also must get a special mention - easily the best Indian rice we've had. Topped off with proper, non-stodgy naan breads, we were very very happy by the end! There were three of us for dinner that night, and the food stretched to about 8 decent portions across the weekend. Given the price per head is the same (or possibly less) than I would pay for a local takeaway, I will 100% be ordering something from here again soon!!

Wish Aktar had restaurants in the U.S. Of course, we have fine Indian restaurants here in the U.S., but I'd like to taste Aktar's food. Will be on my list the next I'm in that area. Enjoy Aktar and everyone on The Great British Menu. Also, like Perfect, Garden Rescue and some of the other such shows on British t.v.

We have had three curry boxes now, and I can't praise them too highly. Very generous 4 meals for the 2 of us, with extra naans always left. Just such a joy as we live miles from a town, and the food is of the very highest quality. Never stop!

Love these naans, fresh from the tandoor they must taste out of this world, frozen, thawed and reheated under the grill (lightly brushed with butter or a fat of your choice) they are still very very good, far superior to any shop bought pre-packed naan. Perfect with any of the curries in the curry box and also great as a base for a variety of toppings or fillings. I make a breakfast naan grilled with cheese, onion, tomato topped with a chilli sauce.

Melt in the mouth beef, a sauce packed with flavour and just the right amount of heat which allows the subtlety of the spicing to burst through. Far superior to any restaurant vindaloo I've ever had.

Beef Vindaloo (Olive Grey 1) Verified Purchase
Packed with flavour and lots of perfectly cooked chicken. The balance of spices was just right and the sauce was wonderful, rich and buttery without being overpowering. Partnered with the aged basmati (reheated stove top) and the naan (lightly buttered and grilled) this was without doubt the tastiest murgh makhni we've had.

Our young friend persuaded us to try the “At Home” service. He’s a curry aficionado! We are so glad of the recommendation. We had our first meal for tonight’s dinner… Dhaniwal Korma , big shout out for Chef Datarum! It was delicious, the balance of fragrant spices were perfect, the beef so tender and succulent. Look forward to our other dishes we ordered. Will try one of the box menus next.

Simply brilliant! Have ordered now several times and these curries are now our go to instead of a take away. They are more tasty, better ingredients and as someone who needs to work with some family dietary requirements (a vegan plus I m dairy free) the allergen info takes the stress away. Bravo Aktar and team.

I am blessed with friends and in laws, many of which are the most fabulous Indian home cooks. There are few restaurants I go to where this is ever even closely replicated. Despite my best efforts at trying to learn the art of Indian cookery I have never managed this even with coaching. I am over the moon to be able to order this quality of Indian food delivered to my door. The spicing and seasoning was phenomenal. It’s also excellent value for money with generous portions.

The food is fantastic, the beef and lamb dishes being the highlights for me. If only there was an option to order an all-meat/chicken option. I’d also be happy to lose the potato curry as the rice and naan are more than enough carbs. Nevertheless I can’t fault any of the food at all and am just about to order for the 5th time.

Seriously good selection of veggie curries, and very generous portions. This is authentic, top quality, delicious Indian food. Although I’m not a vegetarian, my husband is so we decided to try this box on recommendation from a friend. We were not disappointed and every curry in our order has been amazingly tasty. Most of the order went straight into the freezer and we take a couple out at a time, the curries, naans and rice freeze really well. This isn’t swimming in oil like our regular takeaway and not loaded with sugar and salt - the flavours and spices are incredible and so different to what we’re used to. I have recommended Aktar at Home to all my friends and will buy again. Fabulous.

Had the leg of lamb meal as a birthday present. It was faulous, I did cook it longer than suggested but that was personal preference.

Placed in a baking dis covered with a layer of the vegetables dish leftovers, a layer of my homemade Indian mint sauce, all topped off with creamy mash. Yummmmm, really good

First time customers and wow, could write pages on just how good the Mixed Box Deal dishes are, best advice just order a box and try for yourself. Ours was delivered perfectly chilled, four meat and four vegetarian dishes with eight naan and lots of rice. Every dish sensational. Take a little time with presentation and you will have a perfect meal. We had a family meal for seven very hungry people and had way more than enough food. We think we could easily get eight meals for two from our next box. Thanks Aktar at Home for such wonderful curries.

We had the leg of lamb and the 4 veggie curries plus aromatic rice and 8 nans yesterday. It arrived in perfect condition from the courier. The lamb was just below freezing in the middle so we let it slowly come to room temperature. It was all amazing! This was a treat for my Mum's birthday - 4 of us are really well, and there was loads left over which my mum took away. I love it keeps in the fridge for 3 days or can be frozen. A real treat - 100% recommend. Lamb and marinade was superb - the curries were special and the rice was a touch special. The nans are slightly below par compared tot he rest but that may be just the bread doesn't lend itself to this process.

Stunning, simply stunning! Myself and 12 friends enjoyed a curry box and vegetarian box this weekend, and my god it was good, head and shoulders above any Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Such a joy to experience dishes I’d never heard of let alone eaten. Both meat and vegetarian dishes were delicious, as a meat eater I’d quite happily have just had vegetarian dishes, they’re that good. Wonderful depth of flavour, heat that builds and compliments and works with all the other flavours rather than smacking you in the face like your average takeaway to the extent you can’t actually taste anything. I haven’t stopped telling friends and colleagues about how good it was, safe to say I’ll definitely be ordering again, my mouth’s watering a little already at the thought Thank you Aktar and your team, I salute you

Absolutely exquisite dishes that elevate the notion of takeaway curry to another level. My local go-to restaurant (eat-in and takeaway) has a really good range and variety of dishes, and has been my benchmark for may years - until now... The culinary experience from Aktar was of another level: spices that waltz across the taste buds; flavours so well matched: choice ingredients that work well in the individual dishes as well as combined. However, the 4 of use were unable to sample all 8 dishes - simply too much food!!! We enjoyed 4 dishes, rice and naans, with the 4 remaining dishes serving to accompany our guests home (plus my tea the next day!). Personally, as a coeliac I didn't try the naans. We rounded our feast off with our own pickles and popadums - a personal preference for a curry night. Will definitely be purchasing again for when we have guests - recommended to a colleague from work who wanted to order today for Friday, alas sold out. Thanks Aktar, for providing our feast.

Wow. I was lucky enough to go to Lasan in Birmingham, maybe 15 or so years ago and the dishes there blew me away. A friend told me about Aktar at home and I immediately signed up to a curry box and got very excited from the moment I placed the order. Expectations were high but these were smashed out the park. Each of the 8 dishes was fantastic. We served it all (minus 4 naans I froze) and 4 adults ate very well, too well perhaps, and there were still left overs. It's hard to pick out a favourite (all were great) and i'm already planning to clear out some freezer space and make some more orders. So, so happy with the curry box. Honestly, i couldn't recommend it high enough. THANK YOU to the Aktar at Home team!

The food was abundant and wonderful. It all tasted fresh and fragrant. I struggled to differentiate between the mutton and beef but they were both tasty. IF I had any improvement suggestions it would be how to make it easier to heat up - I used every pan in the house and all the serving dishes. It would be easier if the dishes were delivered in aluminium trays that could go into a hot oven to heat and put on the table.

Tried the curry box for the first time after two friends talked about it. Packaging was superb - 4 x meat boxes, 4 x veggie boxes, 8 large nans and bag of rice. Superb and very tasty - a real treat. However the price is not crazy if you think that this could be a meal for 8, or a feast for 6 or a great way to have a few days off cooking or to load the freezer up with Michelin star quality food! Nans weren't quite amazing but still 5 stars. Will order again and also want to try the leg of lamb too.

We had this meal yesterday and invited the in-laws round as the leg was 5.5lbs in old money so a bit more than me and the missus could shift. There was plenty of meat for us all and even some left over for inclusion in a Red Hyderabad curry tonight. Yes we like curry!! We found cooking the leg of lamb to be as straightforward as the included instructions described. We like our meat medium well done to be honest and so we cooked it a bit longer than required, we accept that many folk prefer lamb pink, so each to their own l guess. One tip, try and avoid cooking the leg in anything white as the juices and coatings can bake on and although l soaked it overnight it still took some elbow grease to shift it. The accompanying dishes were a great match for the lamb. Some easily recognised exotic veg in there, too exotic for the sister in law who had to ask… okra l think it was. The weight of spice as with all the dishes we have had so far was medium l think l would describe it as….. as one who has raised the bar to Phal in the past… but we learn do we not! We love the naan breads they are not heavy and stodgy but thinner and substantial. All in all my wife says it took all the hassle of preparing the meal and what more can you really say. Well done to Aktar and the team, this is definitely something we would consider having again once we have polished off the tandoori barbecue goodies we still have in the freezer. Best regards Philip and Anne.

Ordered a curry box for delivery at holiday address when we were on holiday with a group of friends . We very much welcomed truly authentic Indian meal after a week of overindulgence.Food was so fresh as was the quality of meat . You get a text from DPD at 11am the day you have the delivery, confirming your hour time slot so you are not waiting all day .The box is well worth the money and you eat a feast that could easily be enough for a couple of days . The insulation package for delivery was amazing and so well wrapped . The team catered for a meal with no beef and I have to say we will definitely order again !

These meals are superb! Such a great mix of tastes and very generous portions - 5 of us had a lovely dinner on Friday night with plenty left over for us all on Saturday evening too. But it’s not just the quantity, it’s also the recipes, the combination of flavours, and the customer service which means everything comes carefully packaged with ice packs etc to help keep it all fresh, and delivered when you expect it. The only thing that beats Aktar at Home is a meal at Opheem! Can’t rate either highly enough!

Still love the Aktar Mixed Box Deal - just finished my third order. Having now had a few I wondered if there might be any possibility to do a smaller box without the fish - as a family of non-fish eaters this doesn’t normally see the light of day which always upsets me slightly. Also will the Milk Bread be returning? The 8 naans were lovely but the variation of the milk bread used to be welcomed. One final comments although I loved the new boxed up approach is there any possibility for labels to be included on the tubs as they were on the bags before. The product remains delicious and the above are a few minor suggestions and have not diminished my enjoyment to date. I’m not sure the local takeaway will get another look in!

I love them, and have had many boxes and will continue to order more, but if I could suggest one improvement it would be to have a bit more sauce please. I live alone so I can make one carton last me two days but when I'm cooking half at a time and trying to split the packs evenly, there's not a great deal of sauce left once it's cooked. I am adding water as well but obviously don't want to add too much that it spoils the dish.

I can't remember where I first read about Aktar at Home (I suspect it was on another chef/cooks instagram page) but I am so glad I did! Our selection included Goan fish curry, Murgh Makhani, Keralan Beef, Rogan e Nishat, a paneer curry, Gobhi Mattar, Dhal Traveni and a potato dish (plus sides of course). In our family of 2.5 people that has served us 4 very substantial meals (we could probably have had 5-6 meals but we're greedy!) and they have all been amazing.. so much tastier than a bog standard takeaway. The quality is outstanding and the value for money phenomenal! We will definitely be ordering again.

I don’t normally take the time to give a review but this was so tasty I’m here now giving this 5 ?. The delivery came well packaged with Wool cool insulating, I’ll be looking on their website for ideas on reusing this. This was my first box and 4 adults tucked into it last night. I reheated the curries and side dishes by giving a quick blast in the microwave then popping it in the oven to keep warm, it was prefect! The veggies and meat felt like they had just come from a restaurant kitchen. We were all impressed and it tasted delicious, there was a nice mix of curries (we had week 27 and the lamb dish is to die for) and my guests wanted the details as they will now be ordering. Even after 4 hungry adults there are still leftovers, enough for my partner and I to have at least another meal each. This is great, if there was ‘recommend a friend’ I would be ‘quids in’. If you are reading these reviews because you are trying to decide if it’s worth it-do it, you will not be disappointed.

I cannot tell you how good these curries are. I have a cupboard full of spices but I don't think I'm ever going to cook a curry again. The variety is amazing. My 91 year old mother (who has never been to a curry house or had a curry take-away before) loves them! Taste buds decline as you get older, but no problem here. I am really pleased that she enjoys although occasionally feel slightly demoralised that she seems to prefer them to almost anything I cook!

I sent this box to my cousin and her partner for the birth of their first son, to help out a bit with some home-style cooked food as they love good food, but have no time to make it and prefer not to eat out because of additives and overly oily dishes. I found an amazing review for this box on the guardian, and chose it both for the taste but also for the health factor. They are over the moon with it! They both wrote that it is extremely delicious, and probably the best Indian food they ever had. Being Indian cuisine aficionados; that means something!!!! Thank you very very much! I really wanted this to be a great experience for them and this surpassed my expectations!!!!

BBQ I staggered to ease the cooking pressure: Adraki Murgh and Tulsi Murgh as starters, Mahai Malchi as a fish course then the rest as a Main course. That way I got time to enjoy the food as well as cook it! Instructions and timings given were spot on, quality of spicing was wonderful.

We loved the subtlety of the spicing and the variety of flavours. The fish curry that I really wasn't sure about was a real star of the box but really there was nothing that we didn't rave about. Absolutely first rate!

We have had the curry box before and tried the new Tandoori BBQ box at the weekend. The food was utterly amazing. There were 9 of us and we couldn't eat it all. Incredible value and would highly recommend.

These boxes have been amazing over lockdown and I am so grateful that they are continuing. Well packaged and delivery is excellent. The food is sublime and easily feeds my very greedy family for 2 dinners and a lunch - really good value for money. The variety, quality and flavour of the dishes is something you would never get in your local take away. I have recommended these curry boxes to a friends and they all agree - the Indian food is the best and most authentic they have ever tasted. You can understand why they have a Michelin star. A big thank you for being the star in the hardship of the last year.

Took the plunge and ordered, we were not disappointed, plenty of food for 8 of us. Have ordered the biryani to try next. It made us try curries that we wouldn’t have usually ordered. They were tasty but not spicy. Hope you will continue with these??

Superb food. Very good value. I hope the quality is maintained as I'll be repeat ordering. Only problem was my box was missing the breads (not great) but I made my own and I was refunded for them. So yeah. In spite of the mix up 5 stars. Thank you Aktar.

We had our first curry box this bank holiday weekend and absolutely loved it! There were a few issues with DPD's delivery but once open the curries made for a great feast with enough food for at least 6 people and all of it packed full of flavour! We actually enjoyed the vegetarian dishes the most and the variety was a real win. Definitely recommended and have told friends about it already! Will be ordering again!

We had the curry box delivered last Thursday. It came well chilled and well packaged. It was an absolute delight for the senses. Everything was beautifully spiced and full of flavour. There were three of us and we ate it over two nights. I hoped that with a couple of confirmed "fish dodgers" in the house I might get the lion's share of the fish but it was not to be - they both loved it. Really easy to cook, generous portions and good value for money. We're already looking at when to order the biryani!

An amazing mix of really tasty and succulent meat, all prepared for the BBQ. Very, very easy to produce a magnificent meal. We had one of the boxes yesterday, for our son's birthday treat. Not only did we enjoy a fabulous meal, we were also lucky enough to have fabulous weather too. We all ate really well, and there were leftovers enough for our light lunch today. I cooked some roasted jersey potatoes, with cumin seeds, and some cauliflower, to supplement the meal, but it wasn't really needed. Have already got another BBQ box in our freezer.....We have loved all of our Mixed Box Deales......and now love this........Thank you.....we all loved it

I have tried several of these "at home" options from various establishments but I can safely say that Aktar at Home is head and shoulders above the rest. Aside from the fact that they have had one or two issues with suppliers which they have attended to, everything that arrived was in perfect condition and still totally chilled. Everything was clearly labelled, contained simple cooking instructions and most importantly tasted fantastic. Quantities were very generous and everyone who sat down to dinner last night with us was knocked out by the fact that not only were they eating restaurant quality food.....but also that it was so simple to get on the table, but also that it came in the back of a van half the length of the country. Not only will I order again, I will also be visiting Opheem in the future

Ordered this box a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely amazing. The quality of the ingredients are fantastic and the spicing is so far and away above anything you will get at your local takeaway. I barbecue a lot so this box held no fears, however you do need to be prepared to do a bit of cooking to enjoy everything at its best. However they do provide instructions as to how to cook each dish but if you are looking for something you can pop in the microwave then quite possibly this is not for you. If you do go for the curry box you certainly won't be disappointed by that either. I will definitely be ordering again

All the curries were superb and portions are extremely generous. One suggestion would be to offer the option of brown rice/whole grain bread (e.g. chapatti) as many people don’t eat white rice/bread these days - the milk bread went straight in the bin though we did eat the naan breads.

WOW!! Thank you Aktar and the team at Opheem. Ordered the menu for Week 14 for me and my husband and it lasted us for x3 meals. Enjoyed every dish, portion size was generous, everything was fresh, with lots of flavour and plenty of meat/ fish. Fantastic value for money, will definitely be choosing to order a curry box rather than the usual takeaway in future. We have booked a table for Opheem and cannot wait to come and eat with you.

Im here on this website nervously and hopefully finding a delivery slot for yet another Aktar at Home :) im down to my last 2 orders that i've been eating over time from the freezer, and have just loved the flavours, freshness and convenience bulk buying curries in advance has made! I think for me, it's about being able to trust all the inputs for these meals v other currys houses more locally. I trust care has gone into sourcing the meat, and there's no shortcuts taken. I love that there are curries in the box that are more obscure too! (ok, this may seem as though its been written by someone associated with this place, but ive just been blown away twice over by both of my box orders and really hope this keeps going so i can maintain my supply post-lockdown here in London!!)

So I ordered the new biryani meal and was very nervous as not tasted goat before - wow it was wonderful . Served 7 easily . The whole dish was nicely spiced and nicely fragrant. The raitha I split and made a mint sauce with one half and the other half plain . The sauce that comes with the biryani I blitzed as got fussy adult kids and thought if they saw a aubergine they wouldn't even try it . Everyone enjoyed and will be ordering again .

Can’t praise the food we received in our Mixed Box Deal highly enough!! The quality of the ingredients was excellent and each dish was absolutely delicious. Ordering the Mixed Box Deal gave us the opportunity to try dishes we had never eaten before and as a result it has increased our appreciation of this fabulous cuisine. The care taken by Aktar extended to the packaging and delivery of the food - I would definitely recommend!

I collected and took our curry box home on Thursday. Had three meals from it to date having frozen more for another time. The volume of food in there is very generous relative to the price but more importantly it is utterly delicious food. The beautiful menu card with genuine heartfelt message about these boxes sustaining employment and the restaurants was beautifully done. We will be ordering again. Thank-you.

We live near London and the curry box arrived on the day promised and we had the food on the Saturday. It was very, very good with enough dishes to suit our vegetarian guest. The quality was exceptional, the meat was tender and plentiful. The spices were clever and, in the main, quite spicy but each dish was different. There was plenty of bread which was fresh and the Sheermal was particularly good There was a huge quantity of food which fed 3 people for 2 meals. The instructions were clear, a bit more work than we expected but not a problem for such excellent food. Exceptional value for Michelin starred food.

Utterly stunning food. I’ve spent the last 25 years eating curry but this tops the lot - genuinely. I’m really discerning and have enjoyed many home cooked Indian meals but this amazing selection was just stunning. Very fresh, highly spiced, aromatic and generous portions. The complex tastes from the spices are just outstanding and nothing like any takeaway or restaurant that I’ve had food from. I can’t praise the food enough. I’m often disappointed with Indian food due to poor quality ingredients, a generic taste and quickly cooked tough meat but everything we had was slowly braised and just beautiful. Thank you so much for the stunning food and we’ll definitely be ordering again.

Received our curry box Thursday 29th April up here in Cumbria, a thoughtful and lovely gift from our daughter & son in law knowing that my husband is a good home curry chef (not trained). Only had 2 dishes and naan/rice, so much food but so great to be able to freeze the rest. Great quality of ingredients and amazing flavours. Will be treating ourselves later in the year to another box. Daughter cannot wait to indulge in the rest of the dishes in a few weeks when she visits us.

Live in Watford and got the Curry box for my birthday as a curry consumer of forty years plus . Normally eat Lamb Vindaloo (for taste not heat) with favourite restaurant the Halal Aldgate which I cannot visit courtesy of Covid. Thoroughly enjoyed the change and variety that the Curry box brought. The portions were large and made four very tasty meals for two of us. Very well packed, instructions good and simple to follow. Had to freeze a couple and they came out fine. Will use again for ourselves and for gifts. Excellent value. Thank you.

Living across the Ox & Bucks borders we are spoilt for choice of exceptional restaurants and takeaway options. After trying a curry box our 'normal' takeaway defaults have been banished.

Brilliant concept, great execution, thank you.

Ok so you have done it again...we have now had our 3rd curry box delivered and they continue to be amazing. The taste and textures are second to none. The only complaint is that they are so good that our children have now said they will not accept curries from anywhere else. It seems we have conditioned them with these wonderful meals and they will never be able to return to "normal" curries. I'm happy with that as it means I can continue to eat them as well.

Got the delivery yesterday and it was beautifully packaged and bang on time. We live in London and did not know what to expect from a delivery so far. Good instructions and also that do not eat all at once as there is a lot of food. Last night we had the mutton and chicken. Both were outstanding. The lamb was pure melt in the mouth and had lots of delicious gravy. The chicken had again a lovely tasting curry sauce. Can’t wait for the rest tonight. Brilliant and has beaten all the local north London pubs and curry houses.....and we have quite a few near us.

Our delivery arrived in Lancashire well packaged last Thursday. We had the week 11 menu and every dish was fabulous. Two adults started with the fish curry on the Thursday and our daughters joined us for 3 more dishes plus bread on Friday. That was followed by the keema for 2 on Saturday and then the 4 of us demolished the remaining dishes plus rice on Sunday! Another curry box ordered for late April. Great value and highly recommended.

Our first experience with Aktar's Mixed Box Deal. We have wanted to eat at the restaurant but live in Surrey so its too far for an evening meal! The curry box exceeded all our expectations... Value for money: Ten dishes for £70 is amazing value for food of this quality anbd there is so much of it. We have 2 teenagers and the four of us were full with lots left over. Quality: The curries are fantastic - different to the usual dishes you get at a standard take-away, not oily, all with just the right amount of heat and the spicing of each perfect. Variety: We sampled dishes we have never had before and loved them all. Easy to re-heat, lovely breads and veg dishes along with three different meat dishes and a fish curry! I am so glad Aktar will be continuing after lockdown as this is something we will do regularly. Thank you!!!

Where to start? Dishes - original, full of flavour, mostly ones I've never seen on other Indian menus. Quality - outstanding. You can tell the ingredients used are top notch. Most amazing? - the value. The portions are so generous we had two meals for four people from the box. If we ordered this amount of food from our favourite local Indian (also original dishes and great ingredients) it would have cost a good deal more. Brilliant to experience a little of Aktar's food before we're allowed to go to the restaurant and savour the full tasting menu experience (which had to be cancelled in lockdown). First jabs next week so feeling confident we'll be able to come to Brum as soon as the restaurant can take us! If you haven't tried Aktar's Sunday Roast you should do that too. It's outstanding and just as great value.

I live in Nottingham but had seen a paper article about Aktar at Home. I decided to purchase for my two adult children and myself as a treat. I can not recommend this meal enough. It arrived in a lovely wrapped box, with clear instructions, fully insulated to ensure the food arrived safely and chilled. The food itself is one of the nicest meals I have ever tasted and definitely the most delicious curry. Full of flavour. There is a HUGE amount of food - lasted us for three full meals.
