    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.

    This is a great indian. I have been a member here for years. Their membership scheme was £10 for…read morelife when I joined which gets you 10% off all future bills and if four of you dine, one persons meal is free. Can't moan at that. They also have other offers on like free bottles of cobra with every meal etc. They are on Facebook and communicate quite well on there so is good to "like" them to keep your eye on offers. Food quality is excellent. I have eaten here approximately 30 times, and have never had one meal here which I would say was average, they are always consistently excellent. Service is always speedy and the decor is great. A brilliant start to am evening of cinema - or after cinema depending if your tummy can take late night curry :)

    Thank God it wasn't me who booked this place for a work colleagues leaving meal because it was…read moredreadful. The waiter, a young lad was literally shouting right into our ears the whole time!! He was barking orders us constantly, we wasn't a loud table yet he seemed to think he needed to shout at the top of his voice, even disturbing other diners. He was rude and irritating. The food all came out together so no one was waiting. 8 out of 12 of us were poorly all night, one guy left his whole meal because it was just a awful. I had Chicken Pakora for starter - chicken nuggets with a side salad basically, lacked any kind of spices. For main I ordered Chicken Biriyani - extremely salty and lack of chicken with an omelette dumped on the top with no kind of presentation, the curry sauce that came with it was OK at a push. Wouldn't recommend the place, the interior isn't the best, the staff and the food certainly are not anywhere near the best. TIP: AVOID.
