It all started back in 1976, when A.N. Malhotra opened the doors to New York City's very first taste of Authentic Mughlai cuisine. He named the restaurant after the Mughal Emperor Akbar..

His son, Pradeep, grew up in that kitchen and carried the torch forward, building on everything his father started. In 1993, the Malhotra family brought that same passion to Edison, NJ, and it's been home ever since. Today, Akbar Restaurant is known as one of the best Indian restaurants in Edison NJ, serving authentic Indian food rooted in recipes passed down for generations.

Today, Pradeep's wife Meenakshi and their son Varun work alongside him to keep that legacy alive while still growing with the times. Between the three of them, there's over a hundred years of experience in this business. Whether it's a plate from the Indian buffet in Edison NJ, a wedding brought to life through Indian wedding catering in NJ, or a family celebration held in one of the area's favorite Indian banquet halls in NJ, every guest is treated like family from the moment they arrive.

Come be part of the story. Akbar Restaurant, one of the most authentic Indian restaurants in Edison, NJ, has been waiting for you since 1976.
