• Awesome Indian in North Manchester

If you been to Rusholme looking for a good veggie place, your choices are limited. But, take a tram out to the sticks, and walking distance from Ikea, is Lilly's. Small, cafe style, restaurant. Probably best to book a table, if you are going at a busy time. We couldn't get in at Sunday lunch, but Sunday tea time was ok. The food is Indian veggie. So a different style from your usual curry house. I went there with my mrs and kids and we all enjoyed it. (They offered to make the dishes less spicy for the kids.) We had a couple of starters, the paneer pakora being a new found favourite. The channa paneer, as a main, was my favourite. Afterwards we bought a bunch of indian sweets. Even some of these were new to me. It looks like the do a bunch of cool things, like stuffed chillies, to take away. There are Chinese options on the menu, but we didn't try them. Perhaps next time. There is an Indian supermarket next door, but it was closed when we came out. One final bonus, is that he dishes are not expensive. Five or six pounds for a main, four pounds for a side. And the bill, is itemised, not some hand scrawled, indecipherable note.
