Not too dissimilar to the aforementioned this place has a function room or events and is of the buffet restaurant variety. The food is of decent quality, much better than those student chinese buffet style scenarios (I know that's not saying much but still..) My personal fav were the chicken pakoras... not too oily and the meat was very tender and delicious. Not much else to say apart from the fact that there's ample parking space behind joint. Definitely place to go if you're starving and don't want to fork out more than £20 for a hearty filling meal.

A nice n neat Indian fast food restaurant tucked away by the side off Thomas St in NQ. I have…read morepassed it too many times and today decided to give it a go. There wasn't many in at about 4.30pm and I was served real fast. I tried to order a biryani and was told there were certain days for that special dish and today was unfortunately not one of them. So I picked a Lamb Karahi dish on the bone with rice. Tap water was free and available on the tables with glasses to help yourself. My curry dish came in mins and I started digging into it. Curry was thick, average greasiness and potion size fair with not too many bones. BUT I found the flavours to be mainly salty and not as flavoursome as I would have expected. I did choose meat on the bone and was after the sweetness that a curry would have with lamb bones stewed in it. Would I come back for another one? I probably would to try a different curry.

The Dal on Mon/Wed/Fri is my favourite, chapatis are huge and cooked fresh to order. Samosas are wonderful. Only thing lacking is Wi-Fi and Bed & Breakfast.

I will definitely return here soon for a full meal and review - so save your compliments for that - but initial impressions are excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert plate of gajar (carrot) halva and semolina halva (£2) - a traditional sweetened rice dish featuring dates and blanched almonds was also available. Very few curry cafés have made a go of desserts, and the innovative cooking of both savoury and sweet dishes puts Qila Khyber ahead of the competition. The Pakistani owner is a warm and friendly host, and I appreciated him taking the time to sit and talk with me during the post-lunchtime lull. Your attentive host is smartly dressed in a waistcoat, and the décor is a bit more elegant than the average curry café with upholstered leather seating - so this is a nice place to bring your shalwar kameez-clad wife to give her a break from the cooking! I'm looking forward to eating here again - local Yelpers, message me if you'd like to join me!

The proximity to vegetarian eateries Oklahoma and Earth Café may explain in part the…read moreofficial-looking 'Vegan Food Served Here' poster displayed in Little Aladdin's window. Little Aladdin is a fast food outlet which doubles as an inexpensive curry café. It's a small place, with just fifteen covers, half of which are stools at the window ledges. As usual, I went for the 'Rice & 3 veg' curries plus a chapati, which came to £4.50. While similar to other Northern Quarter curry cafés, Little Aladdin is fairly vegetarian-friendly in terms of more choice and using fresh vegetables, including fresh spinach. I had channa, spinach, and mixed vegetable curries on rice, all tasty, made with care, using big chunks of courgette, potato and so on. Plus the chapati was well-cooked and tender, cooked to order with just a two minute wait. (As there is no evidence of menu rotation, I would presume they serve the same curries every day). Their vegetable samosas are prepared fresh each morning (I asked), although these may be the filo pastry type rather the 'from flour' type offered by This & That. Falafel are also made fresh each morning, and served with salad in fresh naan or chapati. The serving staff are really easy-going, so I think you would be able to mix-and-match anything you wanted. As with many of Manchester's curry cafés, complimentary jugs of tap water are on the table. So it's five stars for Little Aladdin, and I look forward to eating here again. But do check my 'Curry Cafés of Manchester' list for other good alternatives.
