Breaking up the monotony of Manchesters Curry Mile, Anands offers a refreshingly different and strictly vegetarian menu. In a shop that houses both a fashion boutique and a deli, the time-pressed can kill two birds with one stone here, or just cut the shopping and indulge in authentic and hand-made snacks and meals on the menu. House specials include pop in the mouth, balloon light pani puri balls, a range of freshly cooked pakora (potato and chilli, for example), chaats (spicy, crispy snacks, often served with a tamarind-infused chutney) traditional Indian and Pakistani breads baked daily in house as well as four vegetarian curry options for those seeking a more traditional plate. Canteen-style seating completes the picture.
