I love Indian food and this place had fabulous food. I am a vegetarian and it was so good the first night I was In Manchester at a conference I went back the next night. Portion size was plentiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend. I will be back for sure.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The food was excellent and the staff were really friendly. We went around lunchtime and there was no wait. Come back again next time in the area
September 2025
The staff are very helpful, and I'm glad to say they have a spice level between mild and regular! Very handy if you want to build your spice tolerance and enjoy Indian food all at once. The chicken mango was amazing, and the naan has a fantastic texture. This is my go-to Indian place!
