10 out of 10. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The decor, ambience, service, food, music were all top notch. The food was outstanding. We came with our child and another family with kids. All the kids enjoyed the food as well as the adults.

Akara Restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, it is spacious and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it except that it is a bit pricey, so be prepared to pay for the quality and not quantity! I would definitely recommend if you can afford it. The staff were helpful and the background music perfected the ambience of this beautiful restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic food. Every dish bursting with flavour and so good to see something like this where the food is not European!

First time and the food and cocktails were outstanding. Quite service because is was. Tuesday lunch so ambience scored lower than it could achieve if busy. Very friendly and informed service. If you like it hot, or even if you don’t, this kind of cuisine is novel, fun and tasty
