Stepping out of your vehicle is only the beginning to a very royal experience. As the lobby transformed you second by second, the doors shut behind you to take you into a time warp that sets you 200 years earlier or farther. This is truly a remarkable function of the décor and much is attributed to the  embedded eons of culture within the walls of Akbar. There is the aura of the Moghul era and the modern day hospitality. Meenakshi has been able to steer from the ups and downs of any business that encounters resistance within the mainstream society. The American readiness to spice and tangy gourmet for the adventurous palates is steadily growing on a daily basis, a taste rich in content and hence you see the wild palates and tongues seeking refuge in Indian cuisine. They include the dignitaries of NJ to an IT specialist from nearby Iselin, all enjoying the same speculative taste.  Since Meenakshi has had her talents in design, her energies are now immersed in food and cuisine. Management is a unique task that requires patience and creativity and a person with vivid imagination is vital to this industry. The art of balancing both work, home and time for self since music is appreciated by everyone, sometimes one tries to understand and there are so many interpretations to it. A visit to this place is unique and also a larger part of the American experience or should say it is getting to be not just a Desi experience but part of the mainstream. Akbar and Meenakshi are here to stay and so are all our readers.
