The out-of-this-world £4.5 million Thai and Indian Asian fusion restaurant near the Etihad Stadium in Miles Platting, just 10 mins taxi ride from Piccadilly Station, is the most spectacular restaurant and bar to have ever opened in Manchester. Like something out of a James Bond movie, the incredibly impressive dining arena is without doubt one of the best in Europe and was designed by Miguel Cancio Martins, the design house behind the famous Buddha Bar in Paris, the Alain Ducasse Crystal restaurant in Marrakech and Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, John Malkovich and Mick Hucknall's Man Ray in Paris. All meats used are Halal.

Clearly raising the standard in Rusholme, this stylish time-honoured family restaurant on the famous Curry Mile serves authentic Mughlai-cuisine from the northern regions of India and Pakistan. The street food tapas style menu focuses on freshly prepared traditional and contemporary dishes and features an extensive range of vegetarian, chicken and seafood options with succulent biryanis, mouth-watering grills and home-style curry dishes. The menu uses only Halal meats, with celiac and lactose-intolerant friendly dishes. Open until 01:00 during the week and 02:00 at weekends.

Originally opened in Bradford in 1979, and growing into a multi-national ready meals supplier, catering for famous actors, Bollywood stars, and even Queen Elizabeth II in the process, the Manchester branch of this famous Indian restaurant opened in 2016 at The Trafford Hall Hotel next to Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Stadium. Serving authentic Kashmiri cuisine, there is a popular Match Day Menu for Manchester United games.
