That's the sort of thing I'm after...was planning on visiting the Leeds one when at the cricket in summer as was on one of Ricky steins programs. Hadn't realised it had an arm in Manchester.

Yes there are two, one just off Piccadilly gardens and the other off St Peter’s square near the theatre. The latter one is where the brewery is based

Bundobust is great, craft beer and Indian food, what is not to love. They also have one in Liverpool.

After reading the first post, I immediately thought of Bundobust but then find I'm late to the party. We've been to the one at Piccadilly Gardens - easy to walk past as it's a doorway by Subway (rather than a full shop front).

If you like Asian food, then head for Circle Square / Symphony Park. There's various eateries such as Koto Kitchen, Monkey Trio, Hello Oriental.

This and that on Soap St for Indian / Pakistani food.
Its not fancy, at all. You will get a plate and spoon, some rice and then 2 or 3 curries on the top.
I first went in 1996 and its not changed much in that time. Its about as authentic as you can get IMO.

It can get busy and if its full Kebab Lab is round the corner too.

This and That is brilliant! My missus wasn't happy when I took her there a few months ago and she saw the alley it was located on, but once inside the foods great!

If you really want "Influencer Viral" then you can't go wrong with Fat Pats. Never eaten from there as I'm not paying £15 for a sandwich served in a back alley next to the bins, that you have to eat outside, but the influencers seem to love it.

Kabana on Back Turner Street does the same thing and is my fave.
