MUGHLI have made their long-expected move into the Northern Quarter, taking over Superstore in Tib Street.
It’s set to be the second collaboration with David Gale following the acclaim for their Railway Cafe pop-up in Alderley Edge, now a permanent fixture combining the English chef’s small plate interpretations of Indian dishes with an outstanding gin bar.
TOM expects something similar from their NQ operation on the site of a restaurant that won critical plaudits. It will continue trading as Superstore before an eventual relaunch as, in Gale’s words, “a global brasserie with a focus on fresh food”. The now closed basement convenience store, which gave it the name, is destined to become an attached bar.
Mughli’s flagship restaurant in Rusholme is on the shortlist for the 2015 Manchester Food and Drink Awards restaurant of the year and thy also run a further Mughli in Knutsford.
Gale is a busy man, currently working with The Lawn Club and Rust and Stone in Spinningfields, while his own restaurant project Louie (named after his godson) takes shape on the district’s Left Bank.
