    The decor, ambience, food, service and drinks were all top notch. We were led to the bar area where we enjoyed cocktails while reading the menu and wine list. Then, after giving our food and wine order in the bar, we were accompanied to our table.
    The complimentary bread reminded me of Irish soda bread, and was all eaten quite quickly.
    Starters were fishcakes (x2) and smoked eel salad. My companions both enjoyed the fishcakes, and I thought the smoked eel was delicious; not too powerful, moist and tender.
    The main courses were equally good; My duck breast was tender with superb crispy skin and just the right side of pink. My companions had fillet of beef (“superb”) and sirloin steak (“brilliant”). Plates were really well presented. This was seriously good cooking.
    Dessert for me was a vanilla creme brule served with oat and raisin biscuit and fresh raspeberries. I confess I didn’t pay attention to my friends desserts, but they both left empty plates and professed themselves delighted with their choices!
    A bottle of Australian Chardonnay went down very well with our meal, and the cocktail to finish seemed most appropriate.
    This was not a cheap night out, but having entered the restaurant at just turned 7, it was after 10 before we left and we could easily have stayed for another drink or two.
    I would recommend this for anyone who likes good fresh organic produce. and really good cooking. As I say, its not cheap but not exorbitent either. Suitable for any special occasion. And I will be going back there!

    This Italian (mainly) restaurant was great fun, and the food was generally fabulous.
    There were 22 of us and the waiting staff brought the food to the tables as quickly as we could have hoped for, and was generally well received by all.
    I started with the Natchos: a huge plate full of warm corn chips with sour cream, guacamole and refried beans among other delights. Too much for me to finish as I didn’t want to spoil my main course.
    Main course was salmon fillet on a bed of cous cous with spicy Morroccan butter. Hot and really delicious.
    Most of the rest of the party enjoyed their freshly cooked pizzas and other pasta dishes.
    Drinks were bought at the bar before we sat down, but no problem attracting the waiting staff to get us refills.
    My only niggle was the lack of space allocated to our party. When we arrived we were the only large party there, but we had been given a non-too generous table right by the door. Given the available space, I would have thought that we could have been spread out a little better.
    Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the food and considering the quality, the value was also excellent. Pizzas were around £7 each, and my salmon dish was £12.
    Do try it, you won’t be disappointed.

    We went to Akrams on a recommendation and were not disappointed.
    My 2 companions were late, so when I arrived I enjoyed a frexh popadom and various pickles etc. while looking at the extensive menu. I chose a starter of Prawn Puree and it was delicious. The prawns were hot and juicy, tha sauce tangy and sweet with a hint of chilli heat, and the fried bread crispy.
    My companions finally arrived an hour late, so they decided not to bother with starters but went straight to the main courses.
    They both plumped for the balti chicken jalfrezi and the empty dishes at the end were a testament to a well prepated dish. The bombay aloo and nan breads that accompanied their meal were also well received. When ordering the waiter did ask if they would like their jalfrezi medium or hot, and they both decided on medium. Afterwards one confessed that he probably should have asked for hot as the medium was not quite spicy enough.
    I decided on the Akram Special Biriani and was presented with a huge plate of golden rice and large chunks of chicken, lamb, prawns and vegetables in a mildly spiced vegetable curry sauce. Perhaps unwisely, I'd asked for a garlic nan to accomany this feast and the inevitable result is that I couldn't finish either of the dishes!
    The service throughout was quick polite and professional, with the water jug being refilled contantly without us having to ask.
    Akrams is unlicensed but there is a good off-licence directly opposite on the Pershore Road.
    The cost of 3 main courses. 3 nan bread, 1 bombay aloo & 3 popadoms was £32 which we all agreed was good value. I'm pleased to recommend this restaurant and will certainly be visiting again.
    Parking can be a problem on this stretch of Pershore Road, but there is usually some side street parking nearby.
