This North Indian curry house offers something a bit different in the smart, south Manchester suburbs. The flavours are subtle, occasionally sharp (particularly the daily changing specials) and some walk the seldom-crossed line between Chinese and Indian (a sweet, soy-laden chilli chicken, for example). Just 30 seats are tended by a well-brief team, are everything is cooked to order is this spot to take your time. Vegetarian options like tea-flavoured chickpeas, broadbean and yoghurt curry with fenugreek leaves and pilaf rice, paneer baigan (scrambled paneer tempered with mustard, or green tawa kebab (asparagus, spinach, coriander and tamarind dip) are particularly strong suits. Choose from a small wine and beer list amid cute, woody tables and pinky-purple tones.
