As a non-smoker Shisha bars aren't exactly on top of my list of goto places. However, whilst I…read moreremain a non-smoker at heart, trying out some flavoured shisha at Zouk at the last Yelp event certainly left me wanting more. So, when at the conclusion of a late dinner (catching up with an old school friend) a few weeks ago the subject of Shisha came up, I didn't need too much convincing, After an unsuccessful venture into Buddha bar around 12:30am when they'd run out of Shishas (odd?) we decided to head to Manchester's Shisha capital (Rusholme) The quality of the various Shisha bars along the Curry Mile has gone up exponentially since the seedy looking haunts that started popping up over a decade ago. It's difficult to miss 360 Lounge as you walk along Wilmslow road past Beirut, the bright green lights along the side wall are impossible to miss. A shisha and coffee came to a reasonable £15 between the three of us and there was plenty to go around. The atmosphere was relaxed and the crowd was pleasent. If Zouk is closed, don't be shy venturing to these parts for Shisha.

The food here is fantastic and tastes quite authentic, I loved the grilled dishes like the chicken…read moretandoori and chicken tikka. A lot of very spicy stuff. They have tons of stuff on the menu all categorised into things like fish, chicken, lamb, vegetarian, and also have set menu options and sides, and give allergy information. portions are very large like most Indian restaurants, so just a main would be more than enough for most. The restaurant is really spacious with tons of seats, and a shisha bar outside. I don't do shisha but all my colleagues enjoyed it. They have some heaters outside for the cold, but I suspect this would be great in summer. Prices are moderate, all the starters are £5-7, mains are all under £20. Overall, great tasting quality Indian food and a good place for large groups and parties.

On you entrance, you are greeted, the staff is incredibly friendly and smiley. The menu features 'chilli scale', so you know how spicy your dish is. Although you can ask to 'tone down' the level of heat. The food itself was just fantastic, and I can see why the place is so expensive. Mango lassi was served in authentic metal glasses, adding a finishing touch to the meal. Portions are huge, we really regretted we didn't order one dish instead of two, as none of us finished what we ordered. However, this is not a problem as you can ask to takeaway the leftovers, which in my case was a half of the dish. The waiter packed us two box each - rice and the main dish separately. The place is huge, and has an interesting decorum. It also got busy very quickly, despite it was Monday, so might be worth make a call for a reservation, especially if you are going during the peak times.

After a stressful day attempting to shop at the Fort we came here to unwind. We were meeted and…read moregreeted and asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside. After sitting down a menu was provided which offered shisha between two people from £11.50 with a multitude of flavours. To drink they had various juices, teas, milkshakes all at reasonable prices. I did spy the cakes too but we wanted to save our appetite for its restaurant counterpart Shahbarose. After relaxing for an hour or so we stepped inside to have our meals. This Arabian menu had hot and cold mezzes and all sorts of meat and fish dishes.. My partner had the sea bass while I went for the lamb meatballs. The food took awhile to come but the portions were huge and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Including x4 drinks and the shisha, starter (grilled hallaoumi which didn't make your teeth squelch ) it came to £47 which was quite decent. Overall really nice friendly service with good food, yes I will be back, one thing to note they don't serve booze otherwise this is a good place to hand with friends :)

Green lungs reporting for duty. Commence review of Shisha cafe. Wait.. What? You don't smoke? What…read moreyou doing reviewing a smoking gaff for? *Heavy Manc voice* I don't smoke. Cigarettes give me the heeby jeebies. But this summer I had a Katy Perry-esque encounter at a Yelp event in Zouk. I toked a Shisha and I LIKED IT! The flavour I had escapes me but it was smooth and surprisingly there was no coughing up a lung scenario. Was I a shisha toker in a previous life? Who knows but thanks to the apprehension of other Yelpers to try it I had one all to myself. I've never looked back. I mean I'm not saying I'm now addicted to Shisha or anything but shisha and chill with a mate has become an incredible new phenomenon for sure. This ultimately means that Manchester's Mecca of Shisha, Rusholme has been seeing me more often than normal. Wanasah cafe is very similar to other Shisha cafes but due to its close proximity to my secret parking location it's become my new fav hang out joint. There's aways plenty of room. The staff are very friendly. The place is open until the early hours 7 days a week which gives it a Marrakech holiday ambience. The interior is extremely well decorated with Turkish chandliers and incredible Arabic music. Last but not least they do my favourite Desi Chai, which is so delicious that along with blueberry and pineapple shisha will blow all your troubles out the water in minutes. (Desi chai is a frothy latte like milk tea with cardoman and fennel) The prices are extremely reasonable and that's not the only thing on the menu. Hot food and desserts are also served, though the menu is married unsurprisingly to shisha. So (don't rock up hoping to order a sirloin) it's a shwarma sandwiches and fries kinda scenario. They also do milkshakes, sundaes, ice creams and faludas amongst other desserts. Out door seating is covered so it's not rain affected and heaters are there but due to its open plan veranda type design you can actually sit inside and smoke. (A bit like the smoking area in Holdfast) There're so many Shisha bars in Rusholme to chose from I'll probably review them all in time, but for now Wanasha is my safe zone. So if any fellow Yelpoppers fancy it, I'll be up for a Shisha and chill. Just holler!

I've been to Rusholme, AKA Curry Mile on numerous occasions for both food and shisha, however on…read morethis occasion, it wasn't me picking the shisha bar. My friend (visiting from London) was not best pleased with the typical Manchester rainy weather and therefore opted for the shisa cafe closest to the bus stop, which just so happened to be Wanasah. Inside Wanasah is very modern and fresh, with black leather sofas and chairs and wide screen TVs on the wall (for those of you wanting to watch sports), it's certainly a great place to hang out, catch up with friends and relax - I think were in here for just over three hours in total. Initially we had a cherry shisha, which tasted delicious (and a little bit like cherry soothers), the flavour stayed strong for just over an hour with three of us smoking it pretty much constantly. The staff are very attentive and walk around frequently to ensure that the coals are still burning and to take further food/drink orders where necessary. I was in the mood for some peppermint tea and I'm so glad I picked it because it was served in a cute silver tea pot with a miniature glass mug. Absolutely adorable. As we were enjoying ourselves so much and time was flying by, we decided to get another shisha after the first one had finished. This time we had a vanilla one. This was equally as flavoursome, possibly more so as it lasted nearly two hours. The prices are ridiculously cheap. Six drinks and two full shisha cost a mere £24! If there was a sign, I didn't see it, but they do not accept payment by card. Luckily I just had enough cash to cover the bill, if not I would have had to run around curry mile in the rain looking for a cash machine that was working. Phew!

Food took over 45 minutes to be served, and staff refused to give any explanation as to why. They…read moreoffered nothing in return despite the fact we were getting up to leave by the time the food actually arrived. When it did arrive, we were underwhelmed-- the portion sizes were pretty small, and the chips were clearly pre-made. Other than that it was alright, the highlight was the garlic naan which is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. Overall the food is not worth the terrible wait times and customer service.

Its sandwiched (no pun intended) between Czech Bar and Lifestyle Convenience Store, with no other establishments in the vicinity. The little 3-business area is worth a visit though if you're looking for an alternative to Oxford Road, from which it is five minutes stroll. The improving Czech Bar is beaten by this new little establishment, which, whilst quiet at the moment, is sure to do well if people hear about it and give it a go. Its very cheap, and they serve good snacks and sandwiches, as well as some really tasty smoothies. I certainly recommend paying a visit, and speculate that it could become popular in the near future.
