- Most curries are prepared to be reheated quickly in a pan ready to serve. Some dishes may require reheating in the oven but at most we expect nothing longer than 20 minutes for any part of these curry dishes.
- Occasionally we release special menus that will require more time for cooking as you will be dealing with raw produce.
- All pre-cooked curries are suitable for freezing and they reheat amazingly well.

- Dishes containing gluten (G), nuts (N), dairy (D) or suitable for vegetarians (V) are marked on the menu.
- We are unable to alter or swap dishes for dietary requirements but hope the selection would be sufficient for all. As our menus & recipes are confirmed closer to the date depending on availability we may not always be able to guarantee allergens until the week of production. Please check this page a week before to see what menu you will be receiving, the menu is also published on the @aktarathome Instagram feed.

I sent this box to my cousin and her partner for the birth of their first son, to help out a bit with some home-style cooked food as they love good food, but have no time to make it and prefer not to eat out because of additives and overly oily dishes. I found an amazing review for this box on the guardian, and chose it both for the taste but also for the health factor.
They are over the moon with it! They both wrote that it is extremely delicious, and probably the best Indian food they ever had. Being Indian cuisine aficionados; that means something!!!!
Thank you very very much! I really wanted this to be a great experience for them and this surpassed my expectations!!!! I am already considering repeating this in two or three weeks as the menus change (and also – 8 curries is a lot of variety!!!)

We have now had three boxes delivered thus far and all have been absolutely fabulous! The portions are both generous and truly delicious. So far there hasn’t been a single dish that hasn’t been really tasty. We are about to order another!

I loved this box so much. The flavours really sang. I was so impressed with the quantity – really good value – and the quality was nothing short of amazing. I can’t usually afford to eat food from chefs of such a high standard. The curries and breads and rice were an absolutely delicious treat and I will certainly be ordering more boxes in future.
Bhavana (verified owner) –
Fantastic food delivered home at a reasonable price. Thank you so much for making me feel like I’m at home while being away from home. I love and was really missing Indian food before I discovered this wonderful option. Quantity, quality and taste are all amazing!!! ?

Absolutely exquisite dishes that elevate the notion of takeaway curry to another level. My local go-to restaurant (eat-in and takeaway) has a really good range and variety of dishes, and has been my benchmark for may years – until now…
The culinary experience from Aktar was of another level: spices that waltz across the taste buds; flavours so well matched: choice ingredients that work well in the individual dishes as well as combined.
However, the 4 of use were unable to sample all 8 dishes – simply too much food!!!
We enjoyed 4 dishes, rice and naans, with the 4 remaining dishes serving to accompany our guests home (plus my tea the next day!). Personally, as a coeliac I didn’t try the naans.
We rounded our feast off with our own pickles and popadums – a personal preference for a curry night.
Will definitely be purchasing again for when we have guests – recommended to a colleague from work who wanted to order today for Friday, alas sold out.
Thanks Aktar, for providing our feast.

So good. Some of the best curry I’ve had anywhere – so great to get it at home. So many flavours and so much food! Incredible value – will definitely get it again. And again. And again.
