Reviews
The hidden gem of Manchester, if you're wanting frills then this isn't the place for you, but if you're wanting good decent food at a very good price then this is the place to go. We chose the 3 meat with rice for £8, we got keema and peas, chicken curry and chicken tikka and a plain naan for £1.50, all tasted amazing, perfectly cooked and very filling. The real testament was how busy it is, the guy next to us said it was his third time this week, another said 2nd time this week. If you're in Manchester this place is worth the visit.
Great place. Down a little alley. Cheap and cheerful food. The curry is very mild. You're out of luck if you want hot and spicy.
What an amazing place ! I was hesitant at first but the food was authentic and very tasty. The service was pleasant but the food was surprising tasty. Very reasonably priced , I would have paid more. Sorry pictures of empty plates because it was too delicious.
So good! I had rice and three veg - they were all very tasty and can’t go wrong for £6! My partner enjoyed his meat curries. Two rice and three, a garlic naan, one samosa and two cans for £19.30! You’re not getting food this good anywhere else in town for that price! Just wish I’d been sooner. Can’t wait to come back. Really friendly staff! Other people were having chapati’s and mango lassi’s and they looked really good.
Honestly, why go anywhere else? Quick, delicious and unbelievable value food. This place is genuinely brilliant. Cannot praise enough
