This is definitely one of my favourite places to go for a curry in Manchester, so much nicer than…read moreany of the food you would find in rusholme in my opinion. The style is nepalese so you will find some different dishes on the menu compared to the standard curry house selling kormas to vindaloos. All the food appears to be cooked fairly freshly, with peppers found within the sauces still having crunch to them, and onions still looking fresh. I fully recommend the Lamb Karahi dish, and the Muttar Paneer is an awesome vegetarian dish, oh and the poppadoms are fantastic with spices cooked through them with lovely dips to go with them. Beer prices are reasonable, although higher in cost than a pub, but thats usually to be expected in restaurants. All in all i fully recommend trying out the third eye, and you can always go out in didsbury for a few drinks afterwards.

A recent discovery for me is this beautiful Indian restaurant, which I rank up there with the best…read morein Manchester, situated in the heart of Didsbury Village. Curries are without doubt my favourite food, so I've had a good few and since working for Yelp I have set myself the task of really locating the finest curry houses in Manchester. The Original Third Eye fully deserves to enter in at the top, alongside my other favourites, Punjab in Rusholme, Moon in Withington, and The Original Lal Qila on Deansgate. See my list for the run down. The name Original Third Eye comes from one of the finest restaurants in Kathmandu, though it is also a reference to the concept of the all Seeing Eye, a central emblem of Buddhist thought that is depicted on many temples and shrines throughout Nepal. The restaurant itself is large, and spacious, with authentic decoration and a smart, but still nicely informal, table arrangement. The food is literally unbelievable. Needless to say they sell all the usual traditional curry dishes, including an extensive fish list, but the main specialties are something new and unusual, a curry with a little something extra, taking it to that next level of joy and producing happiness and glee in their very consumption. The kidney kebab starter for example, combines classic kebab spices with beautiful marinated lamb kidney. Also beautiful is the Third Eye Tangri, which mixes chicken with minced lamb and nuts, a surprising and beautiful combination. In terms of mains, go directly to either the seafood menu or the Third Eye Specials section, on which everything is gorgeous. The piece de resistance, is the Murghi Masala, a whole chicken marinated in wonderful spices. This dish is so precisely crafted, that you in fact need to give 24 hours notice, and at least two people need to share it. I think that epitomizes this restaurant's absolute class. So I end on that note.

OMG, OMG, OMG - Chennai Dosa just rocks in its new location!…read more Previously in the rather dodgy Stretford area of Manchester, it was always a love/hate relationship of having to go here to get great South Indian food but potentially getting shot walking across the car park at night... But now in Northenden it's much easier and it's still the same amazing food. Really rustic, really cheap, really authentic - their Dosa, Idli and a variety of other pancake style dishes are to die for. £28 for 4 peoples food and a beer - great stuff, basically just go here, now!!

I didn't get a chance to eat at Chennai Dosa when they were based in Stretford, so when they…read morerelocated to Northenden and I was meeting friends who lived there for dinner, we paid them a visit. Of all the restaurants and takeaways we walked passed on the way, theirs had the most people in, which was promising. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a corner table, next to a large group who were there celebrating a birthday by the looks of it. We needed some help with figuring out the menu, as there were no descriptions of the dishes - our server talked us through practically every dish! The dosas (savoury pancakes) are the house special, alongside oothappam breads, rice and tiffin dishes or simple curries. We decided to share starters between us and have our own mains. The food started to arrive after a bit of a wait - it's all served on compartmentalised metal trays which don't like to stay put on the wipe-clean table tops. I wanted to love it but it was all rather...beige and underwhelming. The Medhu Vadai was bland, even with the massive portion of yoghurty/mild curry sauce it was served with. I opted to try their chicken masala dosa filled with potato masala and served with chutneys and sambar which was alright, but really not the taste sensation I was hoping for. My friends did enjoy their curries though, with them both saying they were nice and spicy. This is my second ordering of dosas after trying them at Sanskruti and I don't think I'll bother with them again unfortunately.

The Gurkha Grill has never disappointed me yet. The owners, Raj and Neil were employees in a…read morerestaurant of the same name in Nepal, which was championed as one of the best restaurants in Nepal at the time, so it comes as no surprise that their expertise is still enjoyed in the humbler surroundings of Didsbury. The cuisine lies between Nepalese and Indian classics, the Indian ones being given a Nepalese twist in keeping with its name sake. I heartily recommend the Gurkha Grill Special: a half spring chicken marinated in typical Nepalese spices, then covered with a very mild sauce with a dash of white wine. It's probably one of the most expensive dishes on the menu, and it's still only £8.95. The staff are exceptionally courteous here too, and nothing is too much trouble. I can't recommend it enough.

Gurkha Grill is one of West Didsbury's many lovely restaurants, and I'd highly recommend it.Yes,…read moreit's Didsbury, so it's smart, but I didn't feel out of place wearing jeans and a t-shirt. The food and service are both fantastic. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for veggies, as they have a diverse range of tasty veggie dishes, many involving chena (paneer) ranging from unfamiliar dishes like the extra spicy chena chille to the more familiar chena tikka masala. We went for the vegetarian set menu which was brilliant value at £12.95 each including rice, popadums, naan, 3 main courses and coffee. Of course meat eaters are well catered for too. Happy hours are 5-7pm Monday to Thursday and 10.30pm - late every day, where you will get 15% off the bill. If it's good enough for Badly Drawn Boy (according to GG's website Damon Gough often frequents the place) and the Guardian Good Food guide, then it's certainly good enough for me.
