Harden's says
This branch of the growing group of Indian cafés was the fourth dining venue to open in Manchester Hall, a Grade II listed building in the Spinningfields area of Manchester. It opened alongside Masons Restaurant Bar, pan-Asian restaurant Fable and Leeds-based Basque-inspired Pintura.
Harden's survey result
Summary
The all-conquering chain brings its “fabulous menu” of “inventive Indian dishes”, “full of really great surprises”, to a “stunning, evocative room” in a former Freemasons’ lodge. “I haven’t missed a meal here in my last 15 trips to Manchester and for a good reason!”. “The millennial metropolitans (my daughters) may have decided that it is over-rated, but for me it’s a wonderful experience”. Top Tip – “the lamb shank biryani, which is unique to Manchester, is always top-notch”.
Summary
In a “fabulous” grade II-listed former Freemasons' lodge, this northern outpost of the upwardly rising street food chain is “the high-end Indian Manchester needed!” by all accounts; “excellent 'Wrestler’s naan'” and “there is no better biryani” – with “superb and genial” service to round out its charms.
Summary
“An outstanding addition to Manchester” – Shamil Thakrar’s phenomenal Indian street food chain is creating just as much of a stir up north, as it did in the big smoke, with its “refreshingly different, tasty and interesting” street food and “sumptuous” interior which makes “stylish use of an interesting space” (a grade II listed former Freemasons’ lodge). The “very unusual breakfast” goes down well too.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
