Casual curry

Hidden away down a side street, this is a great casual spot for a quick meal. Choices change every day but there are always at least three veg curry choices. Meals can be ordered alone as a bigger portion or one scoop of each with rice for a set price. On the Friday I visited there was lentil daal, Bombay potatoes and mixed vegetable curries. There are also bhajis, samosas and a choice of breads. The lentil daal was my favourite (it’s my favourite anyway), unfortunately no chana on a Friday. Seating is on long shared tables, very informal. The staff were friendly and energetic. This was a great quick and causal meal.

Energetic Owner, Great Food (For the Price)

The first thing that is clear from walking in, aside from the fact that this place is very popular, is that the owner loves what he does. Constantly conversing with customers and bantering with his staff, it was great to see someone their passion. As for the food, you really can’t go wrong. For less than a tenner I got the three veg curries on offer that day (potato, cabbage, lentil), rice, a bhaji and a samosa. The latter of these was actually outstanding, and while the curries weren’t world-beating, they were more good enough given the cost.
I have no doubt I will be back, it’s just too good an offer to pass up.

Brilliant

I love the food here and have been countless times across several years. The veg curries are always vegan. They have three different veg curries each day and they offer a good variety. It’s not the nicest place to sit but it’s ok and designed to be a quick eat and leave place. The prices are very reasonable.

Worth 5 stars

Consistently amazing food and excellent value for money. If you ask for rice and 3 veg it you'll 3 delicious vegan curries and a generous portion of rice. Casual canteen style setting, perfect for a quick meal

Tasty, filling, cheap!

Super cheap big plate of food, just ask for the vegan options. I got rice with three different types of curry, very flavorful and diverse.
Fun relaxed atmosphere with benches and shared seating. It's a bit hidden down a side street and looks a bit sketchy but I promise you it's great. Would return!

Pros: Cheap , Friendly staff , Unique atmosphere

3 curry and rice for £6

A great place for the hungry and skint of Manchester, hidden away down a side street. Three huge portions of vegan curry plus rice for just £6. Only downside is the lack of vegetable content we were given as all three veg curries were either potato- or pulse-based. Also, be aware that this place doesn’t serve alcoholic drinks.

Vegan curry and rice £7

Lovely staff! Everyday 3 of their curries are vegan so there is limited choice but they do amazing at their dishes. Short menu of extras of rotis, salads, etc.

Pros: Great staff, Inexpensive

Cons: Limited options
