• "The atmosphere was amazing service was appalling, staff not bothered Shisha doesn’t last over 40 minutes unable to get coals changed staff running around like lunatics having their own conversations with their buddy’s and smoking customers shishas definitely wouldn’t return Akaya is just a name and a hype."

• "Restaurant had good ambience, we were given our table we sat down, waitress came over took our order and that’s where good service came to an end!"
• "The settings is family friendly however the Indian food dine in was terrible. The portion size was laughable."
