The pinnacle was the cinnamon and lentil paratha bread. Service was great too. It deserves more than a 4 really, maybe a 4.5 with the half knocked off just because the atmosphere is a little lacking. The tables are a little close together and you can hear what is being discussed on the table next door as they raise their voices to speak over the music. With just a little more attention to the atmosphere this would be a 5* review.

The restaurant is much fancier than I expected, and we were seated in a comfortable booth. Following Raam S's excellent review and recommendations, we all opted for a thali which is fantastic value at £8.99. I got the Gujarati thali and it's one of the best things I've eaten this year. All the components were absolutely delicious, the stand outs being okra (which i thought I wasn't going to be like) and the rich aubergine. The sweet was orange but I wasn't sure whether it was carrot. The only thing I didn't like was that most of the thali was served quite cold. I'm not generally that bothered about things being absolutely piping hot, but it would be better if it were heated properly. We got some other dishes too, the mysori dosa was extremely good (as also recommended by Raam) although as Emily said we weren't sure exactly what to do with the sauce - will have to ask next time! The other two things we tried we weren't so keen on (paneer and doughnuts). Basically I would say stick to the thali and the dosa. I would definitely recommend this place and it's worth the trip.

In my last review I told you we were planning to go there. Guess what! :D…read more We ordered a Mysore Masala Dosa and the Dhokla. I will leave the dhokla aside by saying it was very good and move on to the Mysore Masala Dosa. There are variations on the dosa theme and masala dosa is one of those variants. However the way in which this is prepared in different parts in South India is different. Madras and Mysore refer to what the states were called all those centuries ago as opposed to the cities that they are now. For example if you were to visit Chennai (Madras), you will get a simple potato based masala inside the dosa. Whereas in Mysore region, where I come from, the inner surface of the dosa is smeared with a sweet/spicy onion chutney before the spicy potato masala gets filled in it. Apologies if the history/geography lesson dragged on for a bit. So, the dosa was the right colour throughout (starting with a slightly dark tinge of brown at the centre and gradually fading into beige as you go radiallly outward), had pretty decent texture, (crispier towards the circumference and softer as you come radially inward) and tasted just about spot-on. It wasn't very greasy either. I also got the onion chutney with it, which was yum! The potato masala was generous in terms of quantity and flavoursome. It took me back home! The winner on the night however was the Punjabi thali that my wife ordered. Thali is a little like a tapas and a little like our sunday roast, but nothing like either. In Hindi and most other Indian languages, the word thali simply means a plate. The thali dish is essentially a reasonably big plate with about anywhere between 5-8 cups, some of which contain a curry, one has yougurt/curd one with buttermilk and one with dal usually. One usually gets a decent portion of rice or a roti, which is the main dish. The individual items on the thali were all well prepared and delicious. The portions were generous and very filling too. Definitely worth a recommendation. As with everywhere else, I sincerely hope they continue to maintain their excellence.

We got the uber down, and went in. It was somewhat close to closing time so we easily got a seat and sat down. I was looking forward to this. As there was 2 of us, we decided to order 2 currys to share, 1 rice, naan, roti, and a starter. We got the gunpowder potatoes ... they were absolutely amazing .. but had a kick to them. I stupidly ordered a cocktail and forgot to ask for table water so I was feeling the burn. But these potatoes were amazing. With that we also had a basket of popadoms with various sauces. All were exceptional. The food came quite quickly and it looked and smelled amazing. The rice was plain basmati, and we went for a butter chicken, and chicken korma. I kid you not, the korma was the best I have ever tasted. it was SO good I have dreams about it. The butter chicken was also amazing with a little kick and it was perfect for 2 people to share. The naan and tandoori roti were perfect accompaniments and I honestly can't wait until I can return here for more food.

Sayuri started off offering a mini menu to the hungry customers of the Friendship Inn, then…read moreoffering the same mini menu as a takeaway/delivery service. And now, Sayuri has grown up into a real contender for the title of Becca's Fave Takeout Ever. With a pretty gargantuan menu, ranging from Japanese teriyaki sizzlers, to Thai red, green and yellow curries, Sayuri has turned from a humble Chinese takeaway into a pan-Asian fusion place with more dishes than Gordon's Kitchen (maybe...I haven't counted.) Throw in the fact that this place is seriously good value and you're onto a winner. Oh, and the food. The food is good. Personally, I am a salt&pepper fan (and Salt 'n' Pepa, but that's a different story, which has nothing to do with Chinese food) and I find Sayuri's s&p seasoning to be amongst the best I've ever had. Especially on the chips, which I strongly recommend you buy if you pop into the Friendship for a pint. They are simply delish. The meat used in Sayuri's dishes is always good quality. I can't remember ever having a skanky gristly bit, and there's always a goodly amount in your sauce. A main will set you back no more than £7, with starters around £3. The soup section of the menu is awesome; they offer 17 soups! 17! That's more soups than I have ever tasted (this is a lie, I have probably tasted more...) First timer? Try Becca's Trusted Sayuri Picks: - S&P beef - Hot and sour soup - Japanese tempura prawns (a whopping EIGHT for less than £4!) - Sizzling chicken balls in batter (balls! LOL!) - Roast duck with mandarin sauce - Dry-frid udon with beef YUM YUM YUM! I have ordered from Sayuri more times than I can remember, and was delighted that when we moved to the city centre, we're still juuuuust inside their catchment area. If the recent expansion of the menu is anything to go by, we're not the only ones who love it so! Give it a go, you won't regret it.

To be honest everything I've had here has been good: mezze, kebabs, salad, pizza or shawarma. Give Jaffa a try and you won't be disappointed.

Another update for Fuel? Another five star rating? Am I boring you, yelpers? I do apologise. If you…read morewish to snooze through the following transmission I fully understand, but should you choose to, then know that you will miss out on OMG SPLAWSOME FTW. For the very first time I was having a main meal at Fuel. A proper dinner. Not a snack, not a smoothie. Why? Everyone I know is a cow-hide biting carnivore and refuses to come to a vegetarian restaurant with me. I know, the sods. Should I come into a windfall, I may well buy new friends, then pay for their plastic surgery so they'll look just like my old friends. I digress. My mother eats meat, but she appreciates a veggie meal just as much as she enjoys some roast chicken. So she was the perfect Fuel guest. On a lazy Saturday noon, we stopped off here before she was due to get her train back to Liverpool, ordered some of their fine coffee (which I have decided is the best coffee in all of Manchester - and they gave us a pot of hot steamed milk with our Americanos which just makes them even brillianter) and perused the menu. After much deliberation and peering over at other diners' breakfasts with a mixture of intrigue and trepidation (those things are HUGE, people), I went for the blackboard special - stuffed peppers with cous cous and a Mexican side salad. My interest was piqued as to what the salad would contain. My mum opted for the 'fish' finger sandwich, and we had their mixed sweet and normal potato wedges between us. So, the 'fish' finger sandwich, huh? You're curious, I can tell. Well, in the immortal words of one Charles Sheen, WINNING! They use breadcrumbed halloumi, served with homemade tartare sauce on a wholemeal granary bun with a delicious side salad. I of course tasted this. Seriously, if you have any doubts, even really big ones, you've got to order it. It works. It works like a dream. My baked stuffed peppers with fruity cous cous and a salad below containing kidney beans, red peppers, spring and red onion was an absolute treat too. Nobody wanted to kiss me afterwards, but that was fine. I didn't need human contact. I had epic salad. Fuel just keeps getting better every time I try something new, and I'm insanely lucky to have it a mere short stroll down the road. I promise I'll never take it for granted.

Yummy wraps, tons of hummus, salads, falafel obviously. The service is fine and the prices are low - a couple of pounds, which is less than you'd pay for some bland supermarket copy. A great alternative to the curries and kebabs which neighbour this tasty joint.

I went with a group of 10 people for a bday celebration of an ex housemate. The staff coped really well with a big group and we were taken very good care of. They don't put a tip on as standard even for a large group - I prefer this practice, other restaurants please take note! The interior is nice, basic rather than luxurious but this adds to the atmosphere. They have a good drinks menu, I shared a carafe of red wine with someone and it was decent for the price. The menu has lots of choices, too many - I wanted everything! I had the deep fried halloumi in batter. It was delicious, perfectly done but I'd have preferred a better salad garnish, it just had 3 wedges of raw tomato with balsamic glaze. Friends shared the mezze platter and this looked great. Everyone said the starters were fantastic. I then had a steak casserole dish with star annise and cinnamon. The mains come with a choice of rice, chips, salad or roast potatoes. I went for chips and they were perfectly cooked, the rice looked good on other plates too. The meat was tender and the onions in my dish were lovely and sweet. I really enjoyed it. They brought out a piece of chocolate fudge cake with candles and sang for my friends bday, a nice touch. We all tried a bite of cake and the fudge icing was delicious. I had a medium sweet coffee which was the only down side of this meal for me. The Greek delight it came with (a piece of pink sweet very like Turkish delight) was amazing but the coffee itself was very bitter and full of grainy residue. Overall I loved it, really want to go back and try someone dishes. Needs to go on the list for yelp events I think!
