The 15 Best Curry Houses in Manchester

Manchester's Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road in Rusholme has been a culinary landmark since the 1980s, making it one of the most famous stretches of Asian restaurants in Europe. While the area has evolved over the years — with Middle Eastern and Turkish restaurants joining the mix — the core of authentic South Asian dining remains strong.

Beyond the Curry Mile, Manchester's curry scene has spread across the city. Longsight, Levenshulme, and Cheetham Hill all offer excellent South Asian dining. The Northern Quarter and city centre have seen a wave of modern Indian restaurants putting contemporary spins on classic dishes.

Our guide covers the best curry houses across all of Manchester, from traditional Pakistani and Kashmiri restaurants to modern Indian fine dining. All restaurants are rated by real customers on The Desi Directory.
