Very nearly a 5 star review but just misses out because of the noise. We went as a party of 8 on a busy Friday evening so I expected it to be busy. But something about the layout and size of the place means that the noise from each of the many tables just seems to echo around the place. Not for a romantic date, but great for anything else. The food was great. Not the best I've every had but certainly fresh and very tasty. The keema nan was lovely. I wouldn't visit again for 2 reasons. Firstly, there are lots of good eateries in Manchester. Secondly (and mainly), the noise. I couldn't hold a conversation with the person next to me, never mind the people on the other side of the table. One last thing. I don't think I have ever had fresher or tastier papadums in my life, and I've had lots. They were fantastic.

Such a lovely experience. Best Indian I've had in a very long time! I would say particularly amazing was the tikka prawns, cheese nan and the dahi Puri was mind blowing!! Highly recommend.

Perhaps the best Indian food I've ever had in my life. Lunch buffet had many varieties of curries but I only had the mixed veggie one, which tasted divine. Not mild, but not too spicy either. Samosas were also very tasty. Will definitely visit again during my stay in Manchester

We had a wonderful time here, with a open and friendly team. Uncle is an absolute legend, who welcomed us at the door and managed to accommodate eight. We all had a great time and left happy and satisfied. The service is prompt and the team know how to work customers through the menu excellently. I have to mention the lovely starters and some of the best fresh dips. We had a mix of options, but i have to mention the biryani, I had the lamb which was just perfect, another had the chicken and we had everyone jealously looking over. Thank you for a great evening.

What a fantastic place to dine out! Upon arrival we could see it was extremely busy (I'd certainly recommend reserving a table in advance). The staff were still friendly and attentative however. It was clearly well organised and ran. All the various food / courses we had were well presented, and of great taste and quality. We didn't have to wait that long either, considering how busy they were. It became very apparent, very quickly why this place is so popular. When you combine the above with the modern look and feel of the venue, it makes for a great atmosphere. Couple of (small) areas they could improve on: - 1) The sound system is poor when they try and increase the volume (to celebrate birthdays etc.) 2) Whilst appreciating how busy they were, I don't feel it's right to stand over you with the card machine, when they bring you the bill. It puts unnecessary pressure on you to just pay it straight away. We found errors on our bill too that needed to be corrected (and may people probably wouldn't have spotted them due to being "put on the spot" to pay. They are only minor points in my opinion and didn't detract from the experience at all. Would highly recommend.

Rang up to book incase we don't find any tables in the evening for 8:30pm on a Friday. Man on phone said no need to book. Couldn't sit at the flower vine booth because they charge £75 lol. Lively place with a mix of music genres playing but abit too loud that you can't hear what the waiter's saying. Ordered drinks virgin Pina colada & sangam fruit punch. They ended up giving us a Pina colada with alcohol by accident which we took a sip of and realised. So they gave a new drink and wouldn't charge for the first drink. Drinks were good overall. For starters ordered popodoms, meat samosa and king prawn tikka. Presented well, not amazing but very nice. Waiter offered us water which was very courteous. Service from the waiter's really good asking often to make sure the food is okay and if we need anything. Mains laal mas, chicken jalali with garlic naan and cheesy naan. Currys were top notch spicy (apna style) just the way we like it. As they got one of the drinks wrong they gave us free desserts (rasmalai & gulab jamun) the ice cream that they served us had almost icicles in like it had been defrosted and put back in freezer, so I wasn't a fond of that. Overall me and partner gave it a 7/10.

Was here for an evening out and a catch up. Lovely food and service. Was very tasty and loved the seating areas. Very spacious between yourself and other customers. Lovely decor and attentive staff who welcome you with a smile. Only downfall is i feel the prices could be lowered slightly and the music was a little too loud making it hard to understand conversation but overall good experience. Would visit again
