  “Absolutely authentic, delicious Indian food. Can get a full meal meats and all for such a bargain! Loved the staff' hospitality. The little kick of nostalgia like I was sitting in one of my college campus canteens is a cherry on top. A true must visit!”

  “Food was incredible, service was fast and good. Buffet style food, it’s already cooked and ready to serve. 10£ for a plate with of rice with 3 curries piled on top of it + a can of coke. Packed with flavor EDIT: Went back next day and got a second plate it was marvelous”

  “We recently moved to Manchester and stumbled upon this hidden gem that’s been serving authentic Indian curries for over 40 years. Everything was priced under £10 and tasted comforting yet flavourful. The staff were super nice, and will be keep coming back to it. 5 stars.”

  “Incredible experience from start to finish!! The food was so delicious and the portions were generous. The keema reminded me of my mom’s keema! I was definitely expecting to spend at least 20-30 GBP but only spent about 8 GBP for rice and 3 curries. The staff is the sweetest and even came by my table and said “do you want some more?” No other restaurant in the world would ever ask if you want a little more. Also the toppings station with chopped onions, cilantro, and chilies - OMG! This was such a classic touch. Any Bengali/Indian household will always have this at dinner parties, as well as asking if you want a little more, so all of these little things made me feel like I was at my auntie’s house, just having dinner. Super cozy and hospitable. 10/10, no notes.”

  “A small Indian spot with a very authentic, original feel. There’s no need for a reservation—people simply walk in, order, eat, and leave. Nothing fancy, just simple and straightforward. You choose your own plate combination—for example, rice with two meats and one vegetable—by picking from the available options. I personally had rice with cabbage, chicken tikka masala, and chicken curry. We also tried the garlic naan and samosas, and everything was delicious. The food is absolutely amazing, but be warned—it’s quite spicy. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, always happy to help and explain the dishes. It’s also very affordable, especially if you’re looking for a filling meal. I would definitely recommend it, particularly if you enjoy spicy food.”

  “This is not the place to go, if you are looking for a fancy all-evening dining experience. This is place fast, plainer than plain and serves absolutely awesome food at a ridiculously low price, canteen style. Choose 3 servings on rice - I got chicken tikka, daal and chicken chana, add some chili and a bit of garlic naan and you’re set for a great meal👏”

  “.

The shop offers different curries every day, and today I chose Lamb Karahi Chops, Chicken Curry, and Mixed Vegetables. They were slightly spicy and full of fragrant spices. In the end, there was only half a cup of Mango Lassi left, so the owner kindly gave me a Diet Coke as well. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 🤙🏻Lamb Karahi Chops, Chicken Curry, and Mixed Vegetables, served with Rice 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 This & That 3 Soap St, Manchester M4 1EW”

  “This & That Restaurant in Manchester is truly a hidden gem, as it's tucked away from the busy main areas. The concept is simple, you choose your dishes and the staff serve the curries you want. The food is filling and satisfying. Even though the restaurant looks simple, almost like a canteen, it's always busy with customers who clearly enjoy the food and keep coming back because the menu suits their taste well. The staff are friendly and always smiling, which adds to the pleasant dining experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for good, affordable food 🍲. Highly recommend😉”

  “I’ve visited this restaurant around 14:00 on a weekday. There’s quite a large seating area and it’s pretty clean. They have different menu on each weekday. I have ordered a lamp curry from the daily menu with a garlic naan (total £7.80 which I believe is a good deal for a good meal). I’m glad the gentleman working at the cashier has stopped me ordering 2 naan as he afraid that I might be too full. The temperature of the food is hot enough and the portion is just right! 🫶🏻 We are definitely going to visit again and recommend to our friends.”

  “We were attracted by the relatively high review score (4.7 after more than 2000 reviews). What makes it worthwhile is that you'll have a generous portion of decent food for a ridiculously reasonable price. The selection varies daily, but that great price for the rice and three (curries) is constant. All the curries we tried were decent but not outstanding, but the price cannot be beat. Listening to the patrons and the warm greetings of the staff, it is obvious that many diners make it a regular stop. Michelin star? Nope. But a filling meal at an unmatched price - count me in.
