Title: The Curry Mile
Post by: Curry Barking Mad on May 15, 2015, 03:09 PM
Hi All.
My wife has booked us into a hotel for a couple of nights as part of an early birthday weekend, starting today. Tonight will be my first ever time in Manchester's Curry Mile. Can anyone recommend somewhere of decent quality as I understand it can be hit and miss. Any recommendations by 6 pm would be really helpful.
Cheers
Mick

Getting a bit close, Mick; maybe a PM to Ray ("Razor", himself a Mancunian) might elicit something in time, otherwise you're just going to have to rely on Trip Advisor et al ...

Hope you found a good place on the mile to eat.  Shame that JerryM didn't pick up on your post. He would know of somewhere.

All the best, rshome123 aka MistyRicardo

Agreed, a bit surprised no one else on the forum could offer anything up

Wish I'd have seen this post sooner. Julian Voigt would have been one man to ask.

Cheers Gents,
I thought I was leaving it late Phil but that's what surprises gets you :)

Ended up using Tripadvisor. That was a good call. We went to The Punjab Tandoori.
A cracking meal especially the Bombay Chicken. Such a depth of flavour.
Met and chatted with the legendary Pepe (the manager)
It was good to see so many Asian families eating in there.

Last night was the second part of the weekend...Mark Knopfler and his band at the Manchester Arena.
We were absolutely blown away by this mans talent. I always was a fan of Dire Straits.
My wife did me proud on this one.

Last year not long after we came back from holiday it was in the news where some places in The Curry Mile were using Cats as they had found bags of animal bits.
Thank god I never ate there
What is a safe place to eat?

Nursebetty, as far as I can see from the other side of the planet, there was a single report of some cat heads being found in a bag behind a shop in the area in August last year. Google it to find the newspaper reports. The same search will also provide explanations from council health inspectors and business proprietors stating that these discoveries were most likely the result of a deliberate hoax or some other sick activity of a disturbed person or persons unknown.  I very much doubt you would end up eating cat unless you travel to some remote parts of the far east, where it is possibly accepted as normal.

The myth of cats being used in restaurant food is not new and we have heard these claims for as long as I can recall here in Australia as well.
