The Wooloomooloo wharf is engulfed with restaurant's aplenty catering to various kinds of cuisines. It's quite a buzzing sight to see a line of restaurant's one after the other in a huge stretched surrounding. All of these eateries have seatings both at the outside as well as the inside but seating amidst the breeze on the outset overseeing some really tall buildings is what seems to appease the attention especially during the night time. All of them are dim and ideal with fire lit and lamp lit lamps.
Aki's Indian is the first restaurant in this scenic wharf area. The menu is predominantly to do with a host of tandoori dishes from the North, a skosh of traditional South Indian and bits of sea food and coastal cuisine too added to the fray.
The menu is fairly simple and divided into the following forms: Entree, Main, Sides, Accompaniments and Tandoori Breads. They also have sub sections in the entree and main category with the tag lines contemporary, classics, Tandoori, platters etc. They also have a couple of elaborate thali's within their ambit.
Under the entrée section, we ordered for a crispy dosa which was done up pretty well with onions and potato masala in abundance. The onion chutney to go along tasted nice and so was the lentil based sambar. On the Tandoori side told for a cottage cheese panneer cube starter. This was more of the traditional Panneer tikka which was nicely marinated and the tinge of chilli, cumin and fenugreek leaves added a rather nice touch. They were 4 cubes cut into 8 pieces and went along well with the green chutney. For mains had a plain naan and a garlic naan with black dal for company. The breads were done up well and the lentils were simmering in an aromatic gravy and was esculent. It went along really well with the Indian breads.
Overall, the food passed the test and we were happy with the outcome. However felt the service to be a wee bit slow as it took a lot of time for our food to arrive on the table. On the price side also felt it to be a tad on the expensive side. But blips aside, Aki's can be said to be a good Indian restaurant in an ideal setting and if you're looking to gorge on sone delicious food over a laid back environment, this restaurant and the scenic wharf ambiance works very well.
