Where to eat Asian food in Manchester: The Best Restaurants and Bars

October 9, 2019 Myesha Cogley

Reviews on Asian food in Manchester, England, United Kingdom. Famed for its soccer team and music scene, which has produced the likes of the Smiths and Oasis, this center for sports and the arts is a down-to-earth and friendly city. The so-called Capital of the North has overcome industrial decline, bombing (in WWII and by the IRA) to become a confident and cosmopolitan city of well over two million. It is well served by a bus and light rail network. Top attractions include the Lowry art complex, arcade Affleck's Palace and Canal Street gay village.

Amma's Canteen

Family run South Indian street food restaurant.

Reviewed By PadThaiPaul

Early Sunday evening, without a booking, but my friend David & I were welcomed and offered a table of our choice in this smallish, modern & stylish venue.Amma`s Canteen specialises in South Indian streetfood.We selected a range of dishes from an attractive, easy-to-understand & descriptive menu - sectioning dishes into "street cart", "dosa griddle" and "from the pot".Outstanding was the Masala Dosa with its filling of crushed potatoes and cashew nuts inside the huge, lacy, crisp rice and gram batter "crepe".Served with a coconut "pesto" and a small pot of warming vegetable & lentil broth, it didn`t disappoint and was an excellent recommendation from our waiter.Amma`s offers a different sort of dining experience from your usual "Indian" restaurant - an interesting menu that is both authentic and delicious. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and took a real interest in our experience and making sure we were enjoying the food, by explaining to us how to order to get the best possible dining experience.The JHakaas IPA (4.6% for 500ml) is a very pale, vegan craft ale brewed in India (£5.65).It was hoppy & terrific & sailed down in its branded glass - always a nice touch. Kingfisher beer is also served - in draft or bottle form.Food prices were competitive.The quality of what we ate was good, so we were pleased with the value for money offered.There is a wide choice on the menu for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, including plenty for vegans & 90% of the menu is actually gluten free!This was my first visit and I was delighted with my new "find".It won`t be my last!Close to the main bar & restaurant drag in Chorlton, it`s a healthy walk or very short taxi ride away.PRO TIP: Only open from 5pm Tues - Sunday. Whilst Amma`s Canteen has a full, licenced bar, but you can also BYO (Bring your own).Many thanks for your detailed review and we are so glad you enjoyed the whole experience we offer. It's great when people take the time to tell others all about all aspects of their visit. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Reviewed By MARARBON

For People who haven t Tried Teppanyaki before this Place Might be fun but for Those who know about teppanyaki please avoid this Place. I should have realised when my reservation mail Hasn t been answered and the Second Moment i should have started to worry was when i reealised that the minority of employees were Asian. Not clean, Not Well presentated Not nice. Far away from normally very nice Asian Food. Considering all that also too extensive.

Spur-if-the moment choice during a short stay in Manchester. Food was very tasty, ambiance and service excellent. Portions slightly larger than expected (not a complaint!) so unfortunately we had to leave some. Small detail -drop the ‘rate us on our tablet’ thing at the end - it’s a teeny bit annoying That said, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurants

Dishoom Manchester

Dishoom pays loving homage to the Irani cafés that were once part of the fabric of life in Bombay. Opened early last century by Zoroastrian immigrants from Iran, there were almost 400 of these cafés at their peak in the 1960s. Today, fewer than 30 remain.

Visited Manchester for my partners birthday and ended the day here - Honestly the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted, everything we ordered was absolutely delectable. They offer great vegan options too (we ordered 4 vegan dishes to share from a separate vegan menu without hassle). The waiting staff were amazing; very friendly and able to offer advice on the food as well as the vegan menu. Also received 2 free desserts seeing as it was my partners birthday without even asking - Extremely kind of them! Extremely well priced too; didn’t spend more than £35 for 4 vegan dishes, a pot of green tea and a standard soft drink. Absolutely recommend Dishoom Manchester to anyone who hasn’t been before. The only real downside (and this is a stretch) was that the card reader we used to pay didn’t have a top option, as we very much wanted to leave a tip, but don’t carry change.

Reviewed By Probono77

Had a teatime meal and everything was cooked beautifully and very large portions. One of our fussy guests wanted chicken tikka with a lamb mince sauce on top not on the menu and the chef made it specially and it was wonderful. Great when a restaurant goes that extra mile. Not a local but will be back. Thank you.

Mi and Pho

Reviewed By teacher006

Very busy restaurant, with many dishes to chose from, ordered beef pho, papaya salad and a pork dish which were all very nice, presented well and generous in size and taste. Garnishes for pho come separately which is nice for the heat control. The staff were efficient and friendly, they also gave a pho doggie bag to take away. I'll definitely have to try their other dishes such as fried octopus another time. It's a very popular and busy place, even on a Sunday, so booking is recommended.

Indique - Unique Indian Cuisine

Authentic Indian restaurant in West Didsbury. Indique word is coined by merging 'Indian' and'Unique' and so is our food. True to our name our food is a modern twist to traditional currys. Every dish is made with fresh ingredients and lots of care and love

Reviewed By harters

It was good to see Indique mentioned in the just published new edition of the Good Food Guide, counting it amongst the best 1000 or so restaurants in the country. As the Guide’s review has it, this is one of the new wave of “posh Indian” restaurants, offering much more traditional dishes than the “any protein with any sauce” dishes that you can find in countless identikit high street curry houses. We’re fortunate to have it in Greater Manchester, along with likes of Bombay to Mumbai in Bramhall, Lily’s in Ashton and Sanskruti in Withington.The chef puts some effort into elegant plating of starters. Expect the dabs and smears of any “fine dining” restaurant. But this is not at the expense of flavour. Achari paneer tikka saw big chunks of the cheese, which had been marinated in tikka spices and a little pickle juice to give sharpness, quickly cooked so there was a bit of texture on the exterior but soft inside. The dabs and smears were, I think, a coriander chutney and a sharper tamarind one. Alongside, there’s thinly sliced cucumber for crunch and each piece of cheese was topped with a slice of red pepper. All in all, a good balance of textures and flavours. The other starter was a more interesting take on the familiar onion bhaji. Here the onions are mixed with lentils and spinach. There’s more of that sharp tamarind chutney.Aloo gobi is always good here and always seems slightly different from the previous version. On this visit, the cauliflower was quite soft with waxy potatoes giving a little bite. Flavours are consistently good and, in particular, there’s a good whack from chilli. That was eaten with a naan. The other main course needed no additional carb. Lamb biryani was cooked in the Hyderabadi style. And, no, I don’t pretend to know the differences between that and the various other styles of cooking the dish. I do know this was delicious. A good balance in quantities of the rice and the meat. The rice itself had a good flavour and the lamb had been long cooked so it could, literally, be cut with a fork. In the high street curry house, flavours can be a bit underwhelming but not here. You also get a little dish of raita which is handy for balancing the heat from chilli. We’ve had desserts in the past (and they are another example of elegant plating), but we were too full this time, so just got the bill.

Dropped in to Peck and Yard last night after an enjoyable few hours of cricketSuch a lovely, friendly welcome by Edward and the team was followed by simple food done brilliantly. Grilled or fried chicken in a variety of sauces was on offer, all of which were delicious. And I have to say, the spicy rice was something else - loved it. Oh, the house red wasn’t too shabby either. I thoroughly enjoyed this little place, so pleased we dropped by.
