Summary
“Can’t beat it!” for “big platefuls of steaming, flavour-packed curries for not much dosh!” – this brilliantly named curry house (“just point at what’s on offer and he dollops it on your plate”) has been a Northern Quarter institution for 35 years. Family-run, it’s “a model of consistency”, and hugely popular for its offer of “rice and three different curries for £6”. “There’s talk of redevelopment for new offices, but a lot of the office workers in the area will protest loudly!!”

Summary
“Although it’s in a seedy part of town” and “looks a bit worn” (even after a refurb’), this “cheap and cheerful” curry café elicits only raves. Expect a “massive whack of flavour for very little cash” (“no menu, just point at the dish and you get a dollop”) – “a fiver gets you a plateful, three curries rice and naan”. Top Tip – “go there before the office crowd”.
Summary
“Filling up for a fiver on the most deeply flavoursome food this side of the indian ocean” has made “a Manchester institution” of this “reigning cheap-eats champion” in the Northern Quarter. “A remodel has turned the space from a rather down-at-heel caff into a perfectly pleasant canteen”, but while “the new Scandi vibe and improved toilets make it a more enjoyable experience”, the “location remains a bit dodgy… but that’s part of its character!”
