For those that worship at the altar that is Al Quds and all that is Kobeda holy, my visit here will register as nothing short of treason. But desperate times call for desperate measures. When you have a Kobeda craving and the place in question is closed, what is one to do?
Luckily Rusholme has a variety of eateries to cater for all your tandoori oven sponsored carnivorous needs. I have to admit that although this isn't my first time here, I forgot that the menu is actually a bit more extensive than Al Quds (That's not blasphemy, Al Quds Kobeda is the BEST) There are a few nice fish dishes, as well as your standard lamb, beef, chicken regulars. Obviously I went for the Kobeda and it definitely proved a worthy adversary for the Al Quds Kobeda. Succulent and slightly larger in portion, both the Kobeda and naan were exceptional in quality. The only downside to the whole experience was the packaging of the salad. Containing two different yogurt sauces and hummus as well as a large variety of seasoned vegetables, the guy seemed to just bundle it all in the wrong plastic container. The result was that it looked less like a delicious salad more of a large blob of salad smoothie. It was delicious none the less even in this incarnation.
The rice accompanying the fish were actually very well cooked. Al Quds remains the number one spot for a Kobeda but this place has its advantages. They are open till late, very late. The kind of late that spawns the "No where will be open at this time" narrative from an unsuspecting friend.
I have a feeling I will indeed return to Kobeda place, perhaps to try the lamb chops. They looked delicious! So be sure to check out the review update when I do. Untill then, don't take my word for it go on your own Kobedabadabadooo adventure! read more
