Akbar’s Own, located at 1905 West Broadway in Kitsilano, is a family‑owned Indian dining lounge established in the mid‑1990s. With cozy burgundy walls, soft lighting, and artifacts evoking Mogul royalty, the menu blends classic Kashmiri, Mughlai, and Punjabi flavors using locally‑sourced ingredients. Highlights include rich curries like lamb vindaloo, palak paneer, butter chicken, tandoori specialties, and house‑made chutneys. Generous portions, attentive service, and elegant yet relaxed atmosphere make it a standout in Vancouver’s Indian dining scene.
