Good food in a hurry

There are a selection of curries to choose from, bhajis, samosas, naan bread, falafel, hummus. I had a tofu wrap with mango sauce and salad. The tofu was deep fried - soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, delicious. Highly recommended for a quick bite to eat.

Pros: Fast, Fresh

Good value, good food

I had the 3 different curries with rice for £7.50. There were plenty of choices. The spinach-based curry was great. Small and friendly. Would return
Update: Did return March 2 2024

My favourite MCR takeaway

Just the best. No cons to eating here. The rice and three is so good and everything is so well priced. Friendly staff. Worth it for anyone visiting or residing in the city centre.

Recommend when in the neighborhood

Found it by coincidence. Had the three-Currys offer (out of seven to choose from). Went with a friend so we ended up having five
different types, which were all really good.
Will definitely come back here as it's a small and cosy place that offers a great amount of food for the price you pay!

Pros: Lots of different options, Great value, The spot itself in the center should be mentioned

Cons: Nothing really

What A Gem

We discovered this place by chance a couple of years ago and were both made up that it's still going strong. Located a stones throw from The Arndale, Little Aladdin serves up a completely vegan selection of kebabs, wraps and curries, all at very reasonable prices. We went for a Seehk Kebab and a Beef Doner, with a small bowl of chips each and a coffee. 22 quid, and there was as much garlic mayo, chili dip etc as you wanted. Dunno if the "meat" is homemade or not, but it was delicious. The doner was quite spicy, full of salad and bursting with flavour, the Seehk was a little more relaxed, but equally tasty and 2 quid cheaper. Having tried several vegan kebab chains, this great little place gives them all a run for their money and requires less of yours. Going back tomorrow for the Korma and pashwari nan. Lush. Definitely should be in the top ten vegan places in town.

Pros: Food, Price, Location

Tooo Good!!!!

Another return visit for a sit-in, which was fantastic, too good, so I had to get a take-away was well!!!

So, it cost me double, but well worth it, but still less than the train fare to get to Manchester!!

A winner all round

Exactly what you want

Had cheesey chips for the first time in YEARS here and they were everything I wanted from a little fair priced takeaway. Also had the vegetable samosas, absolutely gorgeous.

The owner is super friendly and lovely, you should definitely stop in!

Pros: Tasty food , Great prices, Friendly staff

Quick, Tasty and Reasonability Priced

My second visit to Little Aladdin, my first since they have gone fully vegan, and I wasn’t disappointed. Though my first choice of curry wasn’t available, the chana masala that I did have was great, as were the bhajis and fritters that I had as sides. The vegan beef doner was also excellent, the only slight let down was the garlic naan, more a garlic bread, but it was satisfying nonetheless.

Great value

Stumbled in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Had the 3 curry and rice for £7.50, 2 bhajis and a plain naan.
Service was great, super friendly and explained what was on offer.

Chanla masala, Bombay potato, vegetable curry. Good portion size for the price, could just do with a little more flavour.
Bhajis were great, though a small piece of uncooked batter wasn't very nice! Gave us some mango chutney as well which was lovely!
Naan was good size.

Bland food

Lacking flavour. We were missing an item but the restaurant didn’t answer when we called.
Would have been 2 star if the Bhaji and samosa weren’t so good - the only flavoursome food in our order

Cons: Bland

Very tasty food and quite affordable. The 3 curries I had (chickpea/chana, eggplant, cabbage), onion bhaji and roti were all delicious

Great Value, Tasty Vegan Food

This place offers so many options. From curries, wraps, burgers and kebabs to vegan cheese naans, breaded mushrooms and salads and dips. Really nice, friendly staff. Several tables if you want to eat there. Compared to most vegan/vegetarian establishments (especially in Manchester), the value for money is also brilliant. Oh and the chips are great too.

This place can’t be beaten for cheap and tasty food. It’s definitely worth dropping in if you’re about town and looking for some lunch or a snack. The onion bhajis are really nice.

Friendly place, quick service

This place is great for a quick, cheap eat in Manchester City Centre. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and ran through all the options with me. The onion bahjis are delicious, and gluten free! (Not to mention quite big, so one is enough).

Pros: Friendly and helpful owner, Lots of choice , Quick service

Not totally vegan

Supposed to be totally vegan. We were offered dairy yogurt on our samosa chaat so sorry this joint is vegetarian.. Delightful vegan chaat, essentially samosas with a salad garnish, onion and spicy chickpea accompaniment.
Spicy, filling, as well as cheap.
Definitely will return.
No doubt. Thanks, owner. 🤣

Always support fully vegan

3 stars because the place is fully vegan and i love that, however the guy serving did not listen to our order, perhaps because he was busy but we asked for Biryani he said he could do some, it ended up being some dry rice with some tasteless potatoes and loads of onion and bits of veg not a Biryani, the next guy behind us asked for Biryani he said they had none so assuming he tried to get us some made up which was nice but the food was not. Had 3 curries and rice to be fair was good and the samosas very nice. Overall i would not rush back food pretty standard but i do love to support a fully vegan place so will return to give a second chance

Delicious curries

Excellent vegan curries, would strongly recommend the "3 curries and rice" deal, also the samosas and bhaji were outstanding. Really friendly, helpful staff. If you're in the Northern Quarter, definitely try this out.

Delicious, cheap, and vegan.

This is a must if you like Indian food. It looks rather innocent from the outside, but it's one of the finest Indian restaurants I've been to.

Lovely Service, quick and cheap

Perfect place to pick up some inexpensive vegan food in the Northern Quarter, quite simple but wholesome and the service was the best! The only downside is the food was quite oily, but it was overall lovely, my favourite being the bhindi!! Love ❤️🌼

Pros: Various tasty options, Affordable for NQ, Quick and friendly service

Cons: Sort of oily
