The Karma team prepare a daily changing menu of authentic home-style Indian food which is delivered to your desk in a specially insulated tiffin. The meal consists of rice and chapati, a veg dish and dhal and a choice of meat of vegetarian main. And the food is good. Really good. So good in fact that it made me think of my Mum. Plus it's perfectly portioned so you're satisfied without the post-lunch slump. How much? A fiver. Yes - a fiver! For a proper plateful. You can barely pick up a coffee and croissant for that around here. Get some karma in your life.

Parked up for free outside after 6pm, which is a winner, and the pizza guys were friendly on my entrance and more than helpful with picking different toppings. I went for 4 large pizzas- BBQ chicken, veggie, ham and pineapple and a spicy meat one, all with a kick of spice and hotness which was just what we wanted. I tried a 7 inch goats cheese and veg small pizza which was a great starter along with wedges and wings. The BBQ wings were tastier than those at a few specialised Wing places in Manchester! Very affordable for what you get, and all the girls were happy and full after we indulged in the whole lot. Now I'm at the gym running it all off .... 5 star pizza takeaway place!

The meat is reasonably priced and always very decent - when cooking I find hardly any water residue. The vegetables and fruit don't go off quickly at all and they are much cheaper to buy here, with more quantity, than that you would find in an Asda or Tesco or Morrisons. Their fridged goods will leave you with the best sandwiches for weeks on end. Rack it all up here and forget ever eating out at Subway ever again. You can make ULTIMATE sandwich feasts from the cooked meats section along! It's more or less £1 per pack of Chorizo, Salami, Ham and so much more! The staff are friendly and have hands that move the items through the til like hotcakes to ensure customers are dealt with quickly to avoid queues. My kinda shop! The only reason I have rated this place down 1 star is because you have to pay for shopping bags... I guess I've become too used to other shops giving bags for free. The bags are strong and do have a longer life than that of an Asda or Tesco bag! Yes, I am an Aldi girl and I do like the fact I can walk here!

Negotiating the store any other way is easy though, as it is only a couple of minutes walk from the bus station and tram stop.

Yes, i have opted to mention the nations common choice of chicken tikka massala but by gum it's good!

And possibly some bahji's too with the mint sauce.

This is a cracking Indian takeaway based at the south end of Liverpool Rd Eccles. I have been using…read morethis takeaway for 9 years, tried new ones as they have popped up, but always returned back to Spices. Food is very good with a varied menu. Delivery available, normal around 45minutes for delivery with friendly staff. Cost is average for and Indian takeaway. Highly recommended. Dish of choice, slightly warming but a rare delight, Chicken Ayana. It's a starter dish, but two of these, onion rice pompadoms and a onion and corriander nann (not on the menu but ask and they'll make it) is one cracking dish. If you like sauces there are plenty to choose from. ENJOY.

Born from the genius and success of The Biospheric Project, 78 Steps is just around the corner…read more(well, 78 steps away) from the urban farming project which has taken Salford and Manchester by storm. The idea behind the shop is local food on a micro-scale, bringing the community in the area locally grown, ethically sourced and high quality produce. Stocking fresh fruit, veg & eggs from local farms, bread from the Barbakan deli in Chortlon and eco-friendly cupboard fillers from companies like Suma and Ecover, 78 Steps has a great range of British products, championing fresh local items and seasonal produce. As well at the shop itself, 78 Steps offer a Wholebox service, delivering fresh food to local people on a regular basis. Boxes start at as little as £5 and contain at least eight varieties of fruit and vegetables, making healthy eating cheap and accessible. Some of the fruits and vegetables have been grown at the Biospheric Project itself - just 78 steps away - making this a truly carbon efficient enterprise.

In typical "eyes bigger than our stomachs" style, we ordered quesadillas, nachos, burritos and chips. They were all excellent. And so filling. He burrito is a meal in itself.

The place is huge and if you wanted to engross yourself, it could easily take up a couple of hours of your time; food, clothing, games, dvds, books, household items and electronics! However if you're going to go late at night, get used to the annoying self-service checkout voice and her commands!

Dean provided breakfast, lunch, dinner and several snacks through out the day, usually working 6 day weeks. While I have a vegetarian/vegan diet, and Dean is not specifically a vegan chef, I found his menu to be creative, varied and exciting, and his food to be well presented, tasty and of high quality. Whilst on location, at times Dean had to work with limited resources and he was able to adapt to these circumstances and continue to deliver great food.
