The environment is nice too, comfortable booths and there's a large event space upstairs. The menu is extensive and includes all the classic Indian dishes as well as a wide selection of fish but we both tried balti dishes which seems to be a house speciality. I had the Balti Akbori which was nice but a bit too sweet for me. My Poynton-based person of interest had the Balti exotica which contains many different types of meat, so many that he said that if this was 100 years ago, only a literal king would have such a diet. Worth a go but we probably won't rush back right away. It's very popular with others though.

The option of being able to bring your own booze is a double edged sword, while it is great it can attract a certain crowd which you might not be keen on sharing your dining experience with.

Swadesh wasn't totally meh but nor was it totally a-ok so I'm erring on the side of caution. I…read morenoticed the other week that they have a £4.90 lunch box which was very exciting as lunches for £5 or less are my favourite thing. I was also excited when I walked in off grubby Portland St to find an elegant interior and smiling waiter. Bit disappointed then to find that the lunchbox is not some kind of Indian bento box featuring, I don't know, chutneys and the sound of a sitar playing or something. It's just the lunch buffet. But then again, that's not actually a bad thing in theory. In execution, none of it was particularly good and it was all strangely the same colour which was a bit off-putting. The poppadums were soft, which was just weird However, as it definitely didn't give me food poisoning I am likely to return given its proximity to my work and low price. For the money though, Kukoos is a much better choice in the area for Indian food at lunchtime. Dinner wise, I'd say Swadesh is probably pretty good.

Holy moly this place was superb…read more My boyfriend and I were in town visiting my bestfriend and his girlfriend who were in the UK on holiday when we happened upon this gem. Not too hard to do, since we stayed at a hotel just along the alley from Swadesh, but boy are we glad we decided on dinner here. The atmosphere was that of a pretty fancy restaurant where you'd think the staff and customers alike would be pretentious, but that wasn't the case at all. This place was really great, and the staff was great to boot. The prices were just perfect where we could all order various dishes and not feel as though we were going to break the bank by doing so. We started out with some poppadoms and chutneys as a started. Well pleased with that. After that, my boyfriend and I went with a vegetarian mix of goodies, including onion badjis and grilled halloumi. By the time we finished that, we knew we were in for a treat when the rest of our food came along. I stuck with ordering vegetarian dishes, which included saag paneer and an okra dish and my boyfriend ordered a chicken curry. We decided to share the lot and surprisingly, my boyfriend, who is a meat lover, really liked incorporating vegetarian in to the mix of dinner and plans to do it again when we go out. My bestfriend and his girlfriend ordered mixed vegetarian entrees and really enjoyed theirs as well. As we had been drinking a bit before we decided on dinner, we kept with water for the evening which the staff kept flowing without hesitation. All in all, it really was probably one of the better dinners I've had in a long time. I haven't had a good Indian meal in a few years, so I was really happy that we all enjoyed it so much. Should we find ourselves in Manchester again, this will be a must on the list of places to eat.

Spicy Hut is simply outstanding. I've been a number of times and so have family, friends and…read morefriends of friends and I've yet to hear anything other than glowing feedback about this small but perfectly formed Indian on the curry mile. If that isn't enough to get you interested, then perhaps their list of awards will, including National Curry Chef 2004 and the Gold Award for Manchester's Environmental Business Pledge. The first thing you'll notice is the presentation and professionalism of all the staff that work here. The decor isn't anything spectacular, but when the food and service is as good as it is here, it doesn't really detract from the overall experience in my opinion. If you want to get the proper Spicy Hut experience, then you have to order one of the restaurant's Sizzlers and Sizzling Shashliks. Flambeed at your table, the taste can't be beaten. My favourite dish of late though is the Lamb Mirchi Charm, prepared with honey, hot Spices, fresh Green Chillies and peppers to give a hot and sweet taste. It's got some kick to it but the honey balances out the flavours perfectly.

The best curry houses are simply not on the curry mile. The top three ar Akbars in Castlefield, Moon in Withington and East z East near Oxford Road. This though, is one of the better curry vending establishments on this mile long stretch of curry vending establishments. Vindaloos are hot, Kormas are mild. It annoys me when a Vinda is not hot enough and when people say (i never get ne myself) that the Korma is spicy. this place has got both just right, at opposite ends of the spectrum. And better than that, the hot curries here are not just tomato sauce and chillies, but actually have great unique flavour as well. You cant ask more. Spicy Hut? Sounds like an inauthentic option because of its English name, but its the best in Indian food available on this illustrious mile.
