We went for lunch when we visited Manchester and were very well looked after. The staff were great and the food was really good. From the extensive pickle tray with the popadoms to the King Prawn starter and the main course of Lamb Nihari all dishes were top quality. In addition, the restaurant itself is very modern and slick looking and as someone loves Indian food I would definitely recommend this place.

Tasty Indian cooking at its best. A group of 12 of us turned up on spec and were welcomed in and quickly shown to our table. The food and service were great, despite being a large group. The seafood balti was fantastic - a lovely dry spicy curry with onions and green peppers. Not a trace of highly-colour sweet gravy so often seen in many restaurants. Highly recommend! It was one of the best dishes I have had in a long time. With drinks, it came to £25 a head so good value for what we all ordered.

Want to dress up? But want to go to curry spot that hits spot? This place I do recommend! Located centrally in Manchester. The place is well laid out, clean and spacious. The food was super nice, I'd recommend there chicken tikkas. They were some of the best chicken tikka I've had. Service was good, nice, friendly, welcoming staff. Overall a good night and experience here.

Zeeshan was awesome, attentive and the service was excellent. The food is delicious and reasonably priced 😊 Zeeshan, checked in to see how everything was going and went out of his way to rustle up a lovely cup of tea at the end. Definitely recommend East is East.
