Disappointing

We travelled a long distance and rang in advance to find out when they took last orders. The member of staff was off hand on the phone but she said it was 9pm.
We arrived at 8.37 and the shutters were down! I stood outside and telephoned again but they did not answer. (It clearly says they close at 9:00pm.)

Cons: Not open as told

100% vegan Indian!

100% vegan Indian restaurant. Extensive options. I like how unpretentious it is, with quick service. It's all very laid back. I had the green platter: I could choose 3 different vegan curries to go with the rice. The vegan cheese naan was nice and I also tried the vegan pecan brownie (my favourite) and the cinnamon brownie. Would definitely go back to try more of the menu

Pros: 100% vegan , Quick service, Unpretentious

Great food, lovely staff, all vegan!

It was a cold and rainy day and my partner and I were craving something warm and comforting. I remember walking past this establishment on our first day in Manchester and seeing the absolute deal of a meal (3 curries and rice for £5.99) they had on offer.

It was a no-brainer and we went into the restaurant, a quaint little place with a small seating area, we ordered the 3 curries deal as well as samosas and some peshwari naan. It was absolutely delightful. Exactly what we needed! The food was well spiced and overall delicious.

I genuinely cannot pick a favourite as all of it was incredible! Definitely recommend

Pros: All vegan, Lovely staff, Super affordable

Cons: Small

This was our 3 curries + rice deal. I got bombay potatoes, a lentil daal and I think the last one was aubergine. at Little Aladdin in Manchester

OK for a quick lunch

I tried their green plate with 3 curries but the value for money for that wasn’t worth it.
I do not recommend the green plate, but I will go back to try more of their dishes.

Pros: Fully vegan

Great choice

Love this place. There main curries have the day aren’t too spicy so you can ask for extra sauce. I always come here with friends and order a bunch to share. Their best is samosa chaat and, new vegetable biryani and cheesy garlic naan.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great portions

Cons: Some foods can be greasy

Lovely little gem

Staff are friendly and helpful understanding some of the less obvious options on the menu.

They have a wide selection of meals. All made quickly to order, and tasty too! I'll definitely be back!

Comida para llevar de calidad

La verdad es que lo encontré de casualidad. Estábamos buscando algo de comida para llevar y apareció delante de mi como un ángel! Me encanto el falafel! De 10!

Pros: Vegano, Céntrico , Buen precio

Cons: No es para quedarse a cenar

Cheap and wishy-washy

Some of the staff was very friendly. Food (at least the curries) in my opinion isn't the best. It was tasteless and extremely spicy. Could be a nice option if you're looking for a cheap place to eat.

Pros: cheap, quick service

Cons: not tasty

Cheap vegan fast food

Pop in here almost every time I pass by - cheap and usually amazing. Offers a variety of burgers and wraps, as well as traditional Indian food such as curries on rice or samosas. My recommendation is to try the tofu wrap. Unfortunately has no bathrooms.

Pros: No meat served, Quick service, Cheap and tasty

Cons: No bathrooms

Disappointing

Went on Friday evening for some pre-gig food. Mostly good reviews on here so thought we'd give it a go.
I had the mixed wrap and my wife had the aubergine wrap - they were both swimming in grease. Should've realised that would be the case when we walked in and the whole place smelt of grease. Very disappointed.
I guess if you like really greasy food then this place is fine, but personally I like to taste the veg I'm eating and not just a homogeneous grease flavour.
Only gets 2 stars as it's vegan and Happy Cow won't let you rate a fully vegan place lower than 2.

Pros: Entirely Vegan, Cheap

Cons: Very greasy

Tasty, good value

The green plate has a choice of 3 curries and rice - very tasty!

The biryani is a good sized plateful and nicely spiced.

It's a small place but definitely worth checking out!

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: Small

Good, cheap, friendly

Great place to get a quick and easy lunch - I had a mix wrap (fried tofu and falafels) in naan and it was fab. Would recommend ordering with extra hummus

Pros: All vegan, Cheap , Hand-wash available in eating area

Cons: Didn't have hot sauce :(

Disappointing

I had the aloo gobi and peshwari naan. The aloo gobi was mushy and bland, and the naan was mushy and oversalted. The only reason it's getting two stars instead of one is because of Happy Cow requiring at least two stars for all-vegan places.

Pros: cheap

Cons: not tasty

You kind of get what you get on the day with this place- best to ignore the menu signs because they didn't have any of those options available when we visited! The food itself is tasty and reasonably priced

Cheap and tasty

Went for the £5.99 special green plate and really enjoyed it. I also got some plain naan (£1.30) which was average. I’m not sure how often they change the curries on offer but the lentils and orca curries were delicious.

Pros: Cheap, 100% vegan

Cons: Special plate isn’t huge , Naan tastes a bit like flour

Very cheap

I've been there several times and it's my go-to place when I'm looking for some cheap and quick food. The prices are very low and the food reflects the prices - it is good but not amazing. There is very limited seating so it may be difficult to come with a group or to find a place for yourself.
But overall, I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for some cheap vegan food and I'll visit many times in the future.

Hard to knock somewhere totally Vegan but the food was really really lacklustre.
It really is cheap, but you get what you pay for.
After a second visit I have upped my poor score. A basic place but quick and great value.

Pros: location, 100%, cheap
