Flavorful biryanis in Manchester

“This family-run restaurant is excellent. The staff are especially attentive, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. I think it is one of my favourite Indian restaurants of all time. I enjoyed the Indian Chai tea to end. Very tasty. Loved it.”

“Dishoom Spinningfields is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester. When it first opened back in 2018, it was Dishoom’s first restaurant in Northern England, and since then they’ve set a remarkable standard of both food and service quality and certainly left me coming back for more. The interior is super impressive, cool and unique. Dishoom is based on the old Irani cafés in Bombay, and the interior is so large and feels like no other restaurant in the city. My go-to dishes are the Chicken Ruby with Basmati Rice and occasionally the Gunpowder Potatoes. The portion sizes are generous, and the rich spices of the curry are super good — it’s obvious they use great quality ingredients and seasonings. For drinks, again the selection is vast, with my favourites being the regular Chai and the Mango Lassi, which are both really good. There is always a staff member walking around topping up tap water, so you’ll never go thirsty. The pricing is a little high, but I feel it is worth it for the quality. Matka Holders can also roll a dice at the end of their meal to potentially earn everything for free, food and alcohol included, during certain times. This makes it all fun, being able to put the meal on the roll of a dice. Due to having an allergy, I can scan a QR code on the menu for the latest information, and all the staff members are well trained in dealing with allergies. They’re aware of coeliac disease and the danger of cross-contamination, and always keep my items separate from my friends’ when I dine in a group. Overall, this is one of the places to be in Manchester if you’re looking for good food with fantastic allergy awareness, overall ambience/vibes, food and service quality. It’s a place that you can go for a special occasion or even a quick lunch (although a lunch menu / meal-deal offer would make it even more enticing for sure!).”

“I have been here from the start. The taste is fabulous. I can vouch for it having eaten in so many so called Kerala restaurants. The only thing missing this time is the squid Masala. I am told that it's on the menu in their Whitefield Sindhoor restaurant. Tandoori chicken was not filled with colour like elsewhere. Definitely recommended.”

“Mr. Zeeshan provided exceptional service, ensuring a positive experience. The cuisine was outstanding, offering a diverse selection of choices at reasonable price points.”

“I popped in here whilst waiting for a taxi. Probably the best biryani I have ever had and the service was top notch. I will make an effort to travel here again.”

“You simply HAVE to visit this Establishment. The atmosphere is excellent and when you arrive and enter the premises, you are quickly (and warmly) greeted with a friendly smile and a helpful Employee. As a Disabled Person, I found the layout, set-up and arrangement of the furniture easily navigable with ample room to move around. I have not encountered a more helpful Staff when visiting a Restaurant and my opinion of them is that they are of the highest calibre and quality. I wish to express my personal, sincere and heartfelt thanks to Waiter 'V' and the Manager. They (both) are extremely personable, professional, friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming. They gave me their time and were genuinely interested and could not have done more to help me. I cannot praise them enough. Their conduct, behaviour, attitude and persona(s) shall keep me coming back to [and frequenting] this Establishment often. The food is of the highest quality, but you'll just have to take my word on that and go and sample [it] for yourself! You won't regret it... I don't want to spoil the surprise! The table(s) are far enough apart so as to maintain a conversation without feeling overlooked or eavesdropped on. The Establishment is clean and the decor is tasteful. I enjoy visiting this Establishment and would rate it: exceptional. What makes this place stand out from the rest / it's competition is the: service. The superb Staff make this a super Establishment. Look no further if you are looking for a new 'local'. In this writer's humble view, you won't find one better!”

“Ordered Family table requested to be served once arrived to save time. Brother Ali provided exceptional service and looked after my family. Enjoyed the starters and main course. Highly recommended and yes pre-order and reserve table to avoid delays or waiting. Great people great service.”

“Tasty, appealing food. Good service and yummy mocktails. We tried a lot of dishes and I can say that this is definitely a higher end Indian, not drowned in sauces, these dishes were well balanced, full of flavour and spiced well. Sauces coat like a marinade should. I highly recommend the fish and prawn dishes. The sizzling main was impressive and tasted fabulous and fresh See photos”

“Best Chinese i had so far. Good variety and really loved the idea of combining different dishes. Good vegetarian options”

“This is the best curry takeaway I've ever had, it's so good I've decided to make SK Spice my new regular curry house. Only improvement would be if they added a tofu option on some curries, but every vegetable curry we ordered was fantastic. Do yourself a favour and order an SK Spice tonight, don't delay!”

“great parking, nice staff, and most importantly, decent scran. loads of salad to choose from if that's your thing, and a really tasty doner kebab. one single point lost for playing tiktoks out loud on the tv. i felt like i was on the bus with a mindless 2020s child, but aside from that, really good, well done guys!”

“We have ordered food from Great Indian kitchen quite a number of times and have always been a happy customer. We love their food so much that we opted for their catering service for our daughter’s baptism event. Everyone loved the food and it was a pure delight. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good Indian tea specially their chicken Hyderabadi and Samosa which are almost like Delhi style.”

“Genuinely one of the best currys I had ever had. I had their house lam curry on the bone, unbelievable. I will be back very soon to eat it again. Also the prawn tandoori starter and the pork chops were unreal, and it's BYOB! Also very good with my gluten intolerance.”

“Great service and food, very attentive and friendly staff. We were a table of 6 and all had different meals, everything came out together and all thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“The rice is fragrant, the chicken is tender, and the butter chicken is creamy! The veggies are super flavourful and I like the tomato base My only gripe is the samosa- a bit too meaty but not enough flavour, otherwise it's overall a nice experience”

“Great place to share lovely food and fantastic service. Choose from a large selection on the "set menu", something for everyone. Second time there but it is quickly becoming our go-to curry house. Thank you.”

“I had biryani at the restaurant and it was absolutely delicious. There’s a girl named Sonam working there who treats customers very well – her service was excellent. I also tried the avocado cheese dish, and it was amazing. Overall, a great experience”

“Wonderful restaurant, lovely staff Excellent chef. Very friendly sells alcohol, first class place to dine. Recommend the biriani, rogan josh, butter chicken and chicken korma. Haven't tried anything else. Kulfi is a must too. It's wise to book in advance if you are a large party.”

“Nice place to spend an evening, authentic Pakistani food, atmosphere was great. Owner is really welcoming and caters to your needs. If you're a fan of a curry, then this is the place for you. I went as part of a medium sized group so groups are welcome.”

“Absolutely delicious! My Wife and I went for our anniversary dinner on Monday. The gentleman serving us was extremely attentive and friendly and always around for anything we needed. The food was delicious, portions were very generous and a huge range of choice, definitely something there for everyone! Will happily go back there again and again! We had onion bajis chicken trio pilau rice basmati rice poppadoms butter chicken Peshwari naan”

“Food and service absolutely fantastic as usual. You will be hard pressed to find better.”

“Brilliant food! Authentic and lots of variety. Service was brilliant and the Indian chai and the gobi Manchurian is to die for”

“We ate here last night for our sons birthday. The food was really good and the staff were really helpful and made the evening special for the occasion.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere. No expense spared on the building and interior. Extremely tasty food and drinks, attentive and friendly staff. Best curry house I know.”

“We have only ever had the take aways when we want to treat ourselves. We have lived in Saddleworth almost 8 years now and we have really struggled to find a decent Indian restaurant, it has always been hit and miss. There was never any consistency, sometimes good, sometimes bad…HOWEVER I think this is by far our favourite place! We keep going back! The poppadoms are always amazing, every single time, not full of oil and greasy tasting, their Lime Pickle is gorgeous and the food is delicious. The lamb chops are a favourite and you can tell there is no cheat, they have been properly marinating in the delicious spices. The tandoori spices must be a family secret, to die for. Most definitely recommend if you want a genuine taste of India. And it is a plus there is minimal plastic waste:)”

“Best little treasure I've come across, absolutely stunning. Really amazing options for Gluten free”
