Akbars Car Park is a private surface-level facility located off Doncaster Road, serving the Akbars Indian Restaurant, adjacent retail outlets, and small offices in the East Dene area. The tarmac-surfaced lot accommodates approximately 60 vehicles, including four accessible spaces near the restaurant entrance. Operating Monday–Sunday from 11 am to midnight, parking is free for restaurant patrons; non-customers may be ticketed. CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and main aisles during operating hours; LED floodlighting ensures safe evening access. A short footpath leads directly to Akbars Restaurant, a convenience store, and local bus stops within a two-minute walk. Frequent bus services on Doncaster Road connect to Rotherham City Centre and Sheffield. EV charging is not available on-site; the nearest rapid charger is at Rotherham Interchange Car Park, an eight-minute drive away. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to six bicycles are provided near the restaurant entrance to support sustainable dining trips. Seasonal line repainting and pothole repairs maintain a tidy, user-friendly environment.
