"Horrible
bright neon lights outside may put some off
visiting this superb Indian restaurant - those that
decide not to venture down the stairs though will miss
out on a great culinary experience.
Very friendly, clean and inviting restaurant
with some great special offers, including
the Twighlight Special which we had of 2 courses for
only £5.95. My lamb korma was very tasty
although could have done with some more meat - at £5.95
though I was hardly complaining."

"very
nice restaurant. Great food.
We even got a free shot of Bailey's and a little chololate
bar with the bill. The manager is very friendly, and
offered us brandy when we were about to leave. I will
be returning :) "

"Wonderful
restaurant in a great location - behind the
fashionable shops on King Street and only a stone's
throw from the theatres and MEN Arena. Ignore
the bright neon light facade and venture down
the stairs to experience some of the best Indian
food in Manchester. The quality of the food
is up there, if not better, than Akbars, EastZEast and
Shimla Pink's whilst the service is second to
none. The owner, Shanar, is very friendly
and like the previous reviewer says, rather generous
with his free brandy. Superb - highly recommended!"

"This
is a hidden gem of a restaurant well
worth a visit. I was entertaining clients so
the impression the place gives is all important to me.
Clean and relaxed without being understated,
after all, you are there to eat. And eat we did, in
some style. There are several signature dishes here
not served elsewhere. I met the owner Shanar - who not
only took time out to explain some of his dishes to
us, but passed a little time with us to ask us our business,
a simple but gratifying token appreciated by my clients.
Those of you yet to make it to this delightful restaurant
should check out the Twighlight Special currently running
from Mondays to Saturdays 4pm - 6.30pm and Sundays 4
til 11pm. 2 courses only £5.95.
What more can I say except take advantage - your taste
buds will be dancing with delight"

"I
have to admit. Before visiting this restaurant I held
the belief that it would be nowhere near the quality
that the likes of Akbars, EastZEast and Shimla Pinks
are serving. Maybe it's the rather off putting bright
neon lights outside, somewhat less refined than the
old 39 Steps signage that used to be here, or possibly
because there doesn't seem to be the same amount of
'buzz' as the others have generated. For me though it
is quite possibly the best Indian meal I've
had in Manchester - and that is saying something
as I never expected to visited anywhere better than
Akbar's. There's no big naan breads like at Akbars and
EastZEast, nor is the decor as plush (the toilets are
tiny too). The food is superb however
and the service better than the aforementioned. The
prices are incredible, generally slightly
more expensive than Akbars but they were advertising
a business lunch, 2 courses for just £3.95.
You also get free drinks with the bill
and on the night we visited, the owner, Shanar, invited
us for a brandy 'on the house' as
we were leaving. Very highly recommended!"
