Favourite restaurant - Edit
I have never had a bite of their food that I didn’t love. I don’t live nearby and don’t drive so it’s a special trip to come here and it never disappoints. Well worth coming out of the way for it

Amazing curry buffet - Edit
I came for the Sunday buffet and was blown away by the quality of the food. The tandoori pineapple and kofta stuff out for me. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Great food. But check your spice tolerance! - Edit
I've been here a few times. There is no indication of how spicy the food is. The first time, I got caught out and had steam coming out of my ears. The second time, I checked with the waiter, but despite him telling me it was mild, it was still very spicy. Having said that, I did actually enjoy both dishes, but you might need to check your spice tolerance when you come here.
Read morePros: Reasonable prices , Good variety of vegan food
Cons: No indication of spiciness of dishes.

Best vegan Indian food in Manchester - Edit
I convinced my non vegan Indian family to go here and they loved it ! This is the best vegan Indian food in Manchester with a great variety of food and drink that has true authentic flavour. The monthly thali from different regions in India is a great idea too !

Lovely authentic Indian Food - Edit
Loved the food so much that we have eaten there twice within the last few weeks. Great menu. I need gluten free and the menu is marked up, making it very easy. It is worth talking to the waiter if you have an intolerance rather than allergy as there may be dishes marked as containing an allergen that contain such small amounts that you could potentially tolerate - at your own discretion of course. Loved all the dishes we tried. Would particularly recommend the masala dosas. Looking forward to our next visit so we can try other dishes from the menu that we haven’t tried on our visits so far.
Read morePros: Great food, Lots of choice on the menu, Gluten free well catered for
Cons: Parking can be difficult , Tips have to be cash not card

Disappointing - Edit
This place has been recommended to us but got to say it was very disappointing.
Read moreThe starters were nice but the mains really lack and substance
The flavours were ok but there were a real lack of actual vegetables in any of the mains ordered.
Make sure you order a LOT of bread or rice with anything.
Pros: Starters, Staff
Cons: Mains

What mains did you order. I have been a number of times and ordered different mains evey time, and for me never been disappointed.

Gorgeous - Edit
Updated. August 2023. I've now eaten within the restaurant. Absolutely fantastic. The thali was absolutely gorgeous, really flavoursome, so many flavours and everything was wonderful. The staff were so lovely. Beautiful strawberry lassi. My non spice liking mother stated the khorma was the best she'd ever had.
Read moreThoroughly enjoyed our takeaway from here. As spice lovers, we were really impressed with the spice levels in our meals. Didn't take photos as we were too busy eating it! The tandoori pineapple was particularly good as was my jackfruit Goan curry, and washed down with a delicious mango lassi. Just gorgeous! And the staff were so friendly.

Gorgeous vegan take-away (as we have a dog) - Edit
I'd love to go and sit in the Bhaji Pala but we always have our dog with us so we opt for take-aways. We've had quite a few! The Pahadi salad is amazing as is everything else we've had, Tofu Makhani, Tofu Mushroom Chilli, Chana Masala, onion bhajis and samosas. There's a little park quite close by so we take our picnic there if the weather is good.
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Excellent choices, The best spices!
Cons: Can't sit in with a dog

Great for a vegan take away - Edit
We got dosas to take away on a day out. The sambar and coconut were in little pots and delicious. The dosa was in a cardboard box so didn't end up too soggy.

One of our faves - Edit
Been going to Bhaji Pala for a few years now, have taken several non vegan friends / family and all have loved it and returned. The staff are lovely, very welcoming restaurant, great for events as can have accommodate a large table of people if required, booking is recommended as the restaurant is quite small and can get really busy. The food is so flavourful and authentic, not tried anything i have not liked yet !
Read moreDefinitely a regular go to for us, we would go more often if it was closer.

Tasty food - Edit
Nice little restaurant. Brightly lit interior, tables close to each other, noisy when full. Food was tasty with a large menu to choose from.
Read moreWater is served in a copper/brass? jug and drunk from copper/brass? beakers. Menu choices would be aided with more of a description for each dish. Service a tad chaotic.
