  This is a great place for a curry, probably the best one I have been to in Manchester, although I’m not a curry fiend, this is a large and always very busy restaurant. The service is great and organised considering the amount of people who are usually waiting to be served. The food is fantastic a really good selection of starters and mains. What’s really impressive is the size of the family naan breads they are huge! It is well priced and I have never been disappointed.

  Despite having pre-booked a table over a week before, we still had to wait for almost an hour to be seated. And I know this isn't so much the restaurant's fault, but it was ridiculously noisy in here. The food was okay, but the chefs are heavy handed with the spices. I'm okay with spicy food, but just wanted something gentle on this occasion, so I went for a butter chicken. It was literally the spiciest thing I've ever eaten. Everyone else in our group agreed that their meals were way more spicy than necessary too.

  Food is divine and the portion size is Brilliant. Plus! Reasonable prices! I mean the wait in the lobby with like a 100 people for a seat for an hour is worth it. That being said, that's only on Friday and Saturday so just go on another weekday and you won't even have to wait

  Extremely busy, we had to wait for 2 hours for a table for two on a Saturday evening. People walking in after us were seated before we had a table. On pointing this out, the manager apologised and gave us a table immediately. The tables are so close that you feel like sitting with other people. No space of your own. Very noisy environment with very low ambient light. Starters came quick and were sumptuous. But main course took a while and was very hot n spicy and gave us a headache, we left promptly.

  I've been coming to this restaurant for years. The food is always nice , I was never disappointed and it is a good price. Welcoming and prompt, a good menu with the hallmark 'family nans' -  The restaurant itself is quite noisy and you feel like everyone is rushing around there but the quality of food totally compensates it. Recommend this restaurant for a traditional tasty curry. Its always busy so a good atmosphere. I highly recommend it especially for catching up with friends.
