    Yadgar cafe!
    Shrimoyee C.

    Being an Indian and a food blogger with a mum who is a fantastic cook its definitely NOT easy to please me, especially when it comes to my Indian Food! But I have always said this place is one of those rare places in Manchester which makes the best and most importantly most authentic curries ever! It definitely doesn't have the interiors or decor of fine dining like a lot of posh Indian restaurants in Manchester but one thing this place knows is how to make amazing food (I prefer this to a pretentious place with absolutely horrible food). And the best thing about this place is that its far away from curry mile (which nauseates me as an Indian because it makes me feel I am not longer in England) and situated right in the heart of Northern Quarter (Hilton Street). You should try their 3 curries with rice meal deal for just a fiver! (BARGAIN) or even try their individual dishes like Aloo Paratha or Dahi Vada (bet you don't get these in most pseudo Indian restaurants here). To be honest whatever I have tried here I always loved it, especially I am a massive fan of their lamb curry and aloo methi (delicious) which comes with the 3 curry on rice offer. The portions are generous and if you are not absolutely starving then two people can actually share one plate. Verdict: Authentic Indian Food (authentic being the most important word here) for the price of a tiny and not so good sandwich from Starbucks!

    Every Sunday I can I'm here for lunch :-) Great Nihari with a 2 sauce style nowhere else can be bothered to do ! Beautiful garlic nan freshly made ... And curries gently warming away in the pots to melt in the mouth perfection ..

    £5 for a heavy plate full, this is more of a cafe than a restaurant but only due to the decor, not the quality of the food.

    Writing all these reviews has made me realise just how much money I spend on food (i.e. not from…read morethe supermarket). I must endeavour to find a cookbook and rediscover the lost art of knowing exactly what you are eating. That said, when food tastes as good as it does from Lahori Kebabish I'd just say put the whisk and chopping board away my friends. I don't think its been here very long but me and my friends discovered this the other week - we were cruising around in my friend's car looking for somewhere we could grab some food. You see, after a few bad run ins with waiting forever for home delivery, we prefer to take matters into our own hands. Lahori Kebabish is pretty good value for money - for under a tenner, you get three different curries plus loads of pilau rice etc. With cheap prices comes mediocre tastes but we were all plesantly surprised. We'll definitely be trying here again for the next film night - good food to share/ mix and match.

    Kebabish is a franchised brand whose restaurants are quickly spreading across the country. When you…read moretaste the 'apna' style, lumpwood charcoaled kebabs here you can see why, but it isn't just kebabs that they offer. The menu is extensive and covers many mediterranean classics as well as a large choice of curries, karahis, biriyanis, steaks, vegetarian options and even a kid's menu. It doesn't look like much from the outside but inside the decor is modern and clean and the service is quick, even quicker if you're purchasing the faster items. Kebabish also delivers, but only until midnight so eat before you drink! Cheap and good value, especially as it's BYOB.

Little Aladdin is a fast food outlet which doubles as an inexpensive curry café. It's a small place, with just fifteen covers, half of which are stools at the window ledges. As usual, I went for the 'Rice & 3 veg' curries plus a chapati, which came to £4.50. While similar to other Northern Quarter curry cafés, Little Aladdin is fairly vegetarian-friendly in terms of more choice and using fresh vegetables, including fresh spinach. I had channa, spinach, and mixed vegetable curries on rice, all tasty, made with care, using big chunks of courgette, potato and so on. Plus the chapati was well-cooked and tender, cooked to order with just a two minute wait. (As there is no evidence of menu rotation, I would presume they serve the same curries every day). Their vegetable samosas are prepared fresh each morning (I asked), although these may be the filo pastry type rather the 'from flour' type offered by This & That. Falafel are also made fresh each morning, and served with salad in fresh naan or chapati. The serving staff are really easy-going, so I think you would be able to mix-and-match anything you wanted. As with many of Manchester's curry cafés, complimentary jugs of tap water are on the table. So it's five stars for Little Aladdin, and I look forward to eating here again. But do check my 'Curry Cafés of Manchester' list for other good alternatives.

When you walk in you are asked to seat at a small coffee table bearing Bombay mix then ushered to.a table. The furniture is swish, with cream leather seats and sturdy tables. Opening a new looking menu it contained the same exciting variety as last time ;). For seafood lovers you can choose from lobster, salmon, sea bass and prawns. For veggies they offer standard veggie dishes to some special Himalayan ones..And for meat eaters the world is your Oyster! We ordered two pints of kingfisher and starters only, wanting to take our time. So two poppdums and daal soup later and we were happy ;) the dips accompanying the poppdums were well made , they consisted of generic mango chutney, lime pickle , raita and a curry sauce. The soup was of perfect consistency .. Potentially a dash more of lemon was required. Starters gone I then chose the curried seabass, rice and chappati. Himself selected the chicken curry. The sea bass was one of the most expensive dishes but when it arrived sizzling on a hotplate I was pleased. On the side it came with a gorgeous veggie curry sauce. The portions were massive unlike some places you go that offer no more than a sliver of fish. Even digesting this with red wine I waved the white flag at half way point. To end we were given segments of orange and the bill. Everything was reasonably.priced, well made and the service attentive. I had the feeling they were offended when we kept telling them we weren't ready to order the main but again we did it so we were not rushed. Honestly try this place I much prefer it to Akbar's
