Classic indian dishes in Manchester

“I’ve tried most of the curry canteens in cheetham and northern quarter and real Taste is my go to. They offer a great varied selection of tasty curries with excellent freshly made breads. Also really good tandoori dishes. Prices are good to.”

“Went there with my 14-year-old son on the way to a football game as I’ve heard good things. The food was absolutely unbelievable and the service was amazing as well. Also I thought the cost was pretty good less than £30 for a three course meal in the portions were big as well. What more could you ask for? Regards Lee Gueller”

“As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was. Full of flavour and such a great find here in Manchester. I had ordered the egg curry along with the mushroom xacuti and loved both. The portions are also generous so would highly recommend to people who want to try goan food or just want to be reminded of back home. The couple and their family were also extremely sweet and welcoming. Will 100% order again.”

“Lovely restaurant- really well prepared, thoughtfully cooked food. I’ve been twice now in August 2022, the quality is consistent - really nice taste to everything. Just a little pricey (it is Hale I suppose).”

“Great customer service! The food was fresh and delicious. The milkshakes were amazing. Highly recommended.”

“Food is great and for a very good price. Byriani portions are enormous, and everything is plated nicely. So far we loved everything and been there twice and ordered in once. Only thing that is missing is more people eating in, Mrs As deserves it!”

“Hidden Gem! Can’t express how amazing this place is! Really heart warming and wholesome food. You can definitely tell it’s cooked with tradition and love for their cuisine. Me and my friend ordered the fried chicken nasi lamek, kind prawn sambal, roti and chicken satay (the most tender and juicy chicken satay I’ve ever had in my life! Omfg) everything was unreal, cooked to perfection. We also got to chat with Aunty Lotus herself! Everything in this place really feels like your eating round your Malaysian / Asian aunties house! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.”

“Really good food! Reminds me of being back in HK, would highly recommend. Very good quality and good portion sizes! Staff are very friendly as well!”

“Head and shoulders above the rest on par with Michelin star”

“We recently engaged the services of Spice & Spirits for our community Diwali party. The team catered for over 360 people on the night and we are pleased to say that the feedback from our members was extremely complimentary. The food, many choices for both veg and non veg dishes and the buffet stations were professionally manned at all times. Minor issues prior to the event were professionally handled by Bhavesh. A stress free experience on the night and anyone looking to cater for a large party should seriously consider the services of Spice & Spirits. We would certainly consider them again. Thank you for your service. President, New LPS Bolton.”

“Monday is a quiet night but we were given great service and curries. Generous portions for a reasonable price”

“Nice food freshly cooked lovely clean take away best one in town”

“Really enjoyed the food great menu selection , very good service would definitely recommend.”

“I had masala dosa & Gopi wow that’s great taste like a home style ..”

“Remarkably consistent delicious food as always. The team are friendly and helpful and the curries are simply the best in the area. I can heartily recommend this excellent takeaway.”

“Quite simply, the best Chinese takeaway in Manchester. Food is perfectly cooked and great quality, not too heavy on grease etc. Great family owned and run business which has been serving the local community for decades- always busy, but that's because it's the best.”

“Very nice and tasty food. Will go there again. Lovely staff serving you.”

“We often order from here for our Saturday night take away, lovely food, fresh, piping hot and delivered in fantastic time”

“Nice place, live local and not the first time we've been in. Plenty of choice on the menu and we were both happy with the food, normally quite busy but the night we went we were the only customers eating in and it was eerily quiet but staff were friendly and the food was very good”

“Been coming here for a few years now and it has to be one of the best British Indian restaurants I've ever eaten at. Amazing food, friendly and caring staff and a lovely atmosphere too. Highly recommended.”

“Hidden gem. Under rated place, food is exceptional, modern decor and staff can't do enough for you. One of our favourite Indian restaurants in the area. Bring your own booze is also a massive perk for us. 5 stars.”

“Very good chippy. However do not answer the phone for orders anymore which is disappointing and means I have stopped ordering from here as I only have 30 minute dinner time and cannot wait in the shop when busy”

“First time here through a friend saying go and I will defo make this my new go to for curry ... Absolute no problems everything was really nice”

“The customer service was great, the food was brought out in good time, and the food was just amazing 10/10 - a great atmosphere too! Highly recommend you go and taste the food! You won't be disappointed.”

“Staff are great, food is good, not a bad place to go to.”

“Food was delicious and really fresh, will definitely be returning.”

“Ordered from Mr Ali’s for the first time today and will definitely be our go to Indian takeaway from now on! They offer a 15% off on takeaway orders which is an added bonus :) We ordered a collection and when we got home noticed we were missing a portion of chips and we called them and they resolved the issue straight away and within 10 minutes they delivered a portion of chips! They even put onion bhajis in the bag as an apology! Cannot fault this place at all. Great quality food, great customer service! 10/10 recommend.”

“My absolute go-to for karahi chicken (on the bone. They have off the bone option also). Really generous servings and you can choose your spice level. Their rotis are the best too. Lovely amiable staff and the prices are more than reasonable, would be quite happy to pay more just for the service alone.”

“Delicious Greek food! Prices are relatively low, portions are big and gyros, pies +tzaziki were awesome. Definitely will come back and recommend to others”
