Akbar's Kitchen

Operating from the historic Sun Inn in the centre of Bruton, Akbar's Kitchen is a Persian and Turkish takeaway and restaurant that has quickly become a local favourite. It currently holds an impressive 4.8/5 rating from around 30 Google reviews, with diners highlighting flavourful chargrilled meats, generous portions and genuinely good value for a relaxed evening meal in or out.

The kitchen pairs authentic Persian cooking — think smoky grilled kebabs, fragrant rice and fresh mezze — with familiar pub-style classics, so there is something to suit most tastes whether you eat in or carry it home. Marinated skewers and slow-cooked stews show off the kitchen's strengths, and the welcome is warm and unhurried. With delivery available to Bruton and the surrounding villages, it offers a more unusual takeaway option for an area otherwise dominated by curry houses and Chinese kitchens.
