    Bay of Bengal, as the name suggests, specialises in Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine which you can…read moreenjoy in the comfort of their restaurant or, if you so wish, in the comfort of your own home as they offer a takeaway menu as well as a restaurant menu. The choice of dishes is pretty large and varied, with the menu including a useful selection of chef's recommended dishes which are especially tasty, spicy and full of flavour. The dishes themselves are nothing particularly different from a normal Indian restaurant menu, but it is all made to a fairly high quality and can be enjoyed in a restaurant which is nicely decorated and set out. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, helping you to choose a dish to suit your palate (as well as warning you off any very spicy dishes) and ensuring you to have a lovely dining experience whilst in their company. A very pleasant place to go if you fancy an Indian meal in a restaurant environment.

    Whilst visiting a nearby medical establishment this place was reccomended by a couple of the staff…read morethere. They were right on the money and I'm grateful to the for pointing the place out. The interior is nothing exceptional, standard 'curry house' kind of theme but its clean and inviting. The staff received me warmly and were pleasant and polite throughout. I had chicken Madras with plain rice, Garlic Naan and Poppadoms. The food was beautiful, the Madrass was just how I like it, just hot enough and not enough to enduce dehydration! the Naan was fresh and flavourful and was a great accompanyment. With a couple of Cokes the bill came to around £15, which I think was pretty reasonable.

Now I'm pretty sure this place doesn't specialise in grilled tiger, so I think it's safe to say their name is a nod to its Indian roots and that there is no need to get on the phone to the RSPCA just yet. Spice of Bengal in Ainsdale specialises in Indian and Bangladeshi dishes available either in a restaurant setting or to order and take away. Their takeaway menu is a bit sparse compared to the restaurant menu which is to be expected, but their eat-in menu is impressively extensive. Helpfully, there is also a section which breaks down what each type of curry contains and how spicy each one is, for all the curry virgins and n00bs amongst you. When I last visited I went for the lamb tikka chilli Bengal curry which, as you can imagine, was rather spicy. Despite how hot it was, it was still delicious as it managed to negotiate the fine line between being too mild and so hot it takes off several layers of your tongue. The restaurant is fairly pleasantly decorated and has a lovely dining atmosphere, with the staff being friendly and attentive at all times. If you're ever in the area, I recommend trying the Spice on offer here.

    Wanted to add a bit of spice to my life, so I tried the Spice of Bengal. Being new to indian food,…read moreI found ordering for the first time to be a bit difficult. Fortunately the menu did its best to guide me in the ways of the Spice and helped me to make an excellent choice. The waiter even asked if I wanted my food more, or less, spicy. I was waited on very graciously and I have no complaints at all about the place. Best restaurant I have been to in a few years.

Our food was also exceptional, we are visiting from the US , we have never been served Indian food as good as this anywhere there. I had lamb rojan josh my husband had butter chicken. I never expected to finish my large portion but I did because it was so delicious. Highly recommend!

    I like nice Indian meal,who doesn't? you don't? how dare you?!? get out now and read a spam review…read morefor a car wash... Where was I? Ah,yes Indian meals and my liking there of. The trouble is there are far too many of the traditional type restaurants. You know the ones,their menu is exactly the same as every other Indian restaurant within a 20 mile radius. Sadly Pavilion falls into this trap. A shame really as the place is nice,the seating lay out is fine (there were a lot of us) and the general ambience ia a-ok. But,and it's a big BUT,don't have a carbon copy menu of every other Indian food place!! Don't get me wrong there was nothing wrong with the food what so ever,I really enjoyed my meal,as did everyone else in our party and a really good evening was had,but please,PLEASE change up the menu every now and again.Go on,you know you want to... Just noticed that they are a Bangladeshi restaurant and not an Indian one..my bad!!

    As other reviewers point out, service here is extremely efficient, with your drinks order being…read moretaken basically as soon as you sit down and food orders also being taken and processed quickly. I didn't feel rushed though, and bf loved the immediate arrival of beer to his hand. Food wise, I was tempted by a few things on this interesting Bangladeshi menu and got some helpful and decisive advice from the waiter. In the end I want for the chicken thawa which wasn't particularly unusual in flavour (I chickened out of the satkora fruit option which I will get next time) but very well done and a very generous portion. I thought the aloo gobi was the best I've had in ages. We also tried onion bhajis and I would say Blue Nile is slightly beaten out by Stockport rival Last Monsoon in terms of flavour and crispiness. Bf had lamb handi which he really enjoyed - the meat was tender and not at all stringy or dry. Definitely recommend if you like lamb. As above service is very good and it's a nice restaurant with some cool tropical fish tanks in the walls. Kind of reminds me of the Purple Pakora in Poynton. Overall this is yet another good restaurant in the independent Hazel Grove scene (we commented on Friday that the chains have not moved in here, which is maybe why there is such diversity and quality) and I will be sure to come back.

    I am not trying to Curry your favour by writing this, but even as a Liverpool fan, I do love…read moreManchester. I used to live there, I love it a lot more than London for example. I got racially abused a hell of a lot in Manchester but it still has a lot more life to it than most places I've ever been. One of the all-time highlights of not just Manchester, but the whole UK, is Curry Mile. It doesn't get much better. Some of the best curries in town, all kinds of wonderful South Asian, Middle Eastern, you name it, all sorts of food that will blow your mind. I've been coming here since I was little. It's a rough area but so is your nether region when unshaved. So my highlight will always be Rusholme Chippy, which is not so much a chippy but a kebab house, featuring the best Kobedeh Kebab in the entire world that I've ever had. Open late and a must-try.

    Most cities offer a Chinatown. Some have a Little Italy. There are Jewish quarters, Polish…read moreneighbourhoods and other such places of cultured cuisine knocking around all over the UK. But how many of them have an entire mile dedicated to Indian food? Rusholme's section of Wilmslow Road is where you'll find a vast array of curry houses hotly anticipating your custom, as well as the obligatory variety of off-licenses due to the Bring Your Own Booze policy of many of the restaurants... Then, there's that which the uninitiated won't have heard of - the many Indian sweet shops and ice cream stops ideally placed for that one wafer thin mint that'll nickname you Mr Creosote after filling your belly with more spicy sauces than are humanly healthy. If you have relatives or friends visiting and they like it hot, a visit here is a must. At first, it's completely mind-boggling. What differentiates one curry house from the next? Don't they all serve the same food? Well, this is where Yelp does the hard work for you - we're here to Yelp you after all. Take the ones you're interested in. Maybe they offer something a little different? Sri Lankan cuisine, a charcoal pit, Pakistani, Punjab, Afghan... then search them in Yelp and see what we have to say about them. Heck, we're like one of those price comparison websites. We're your middleman. We went to the bad ones when we were students, so you don't have to. The Curry Mile also has a policy somewhat alien to the rest of the UK. Rusholmers live like New Yorkers. If you want curry at 4am, you can get curry at 4am. A lot of these places stay open well into the wee small hours and then some. Everyone should visit here at least once. It's bright and shiny enough for tourists, authentic enough for foodies, cheap enough for students, lively enough for groups and different enough for just about every taste. Definitely put this on your to-do list if you're new to the great city of Manchester.

    I couldn't get enough of this place. The epitome of an (extremely) old pub at the heart of a…read morecommunity where everyone seemed to know everyone else. And the beers are darn good too. This whitewashed inn accessed over an old packhorse bridge claims to 'probably' be Yorkshire's oldest (1307). Got to love them covering themselves for inaccuracy there. That's over seven centuries of beery goodness which was open for trade 40 years before the Black Death! A gem of a building with wooden beams throughout - the layout inside is stepped as it's built on a decline so disabled access is obviously limited (you may wish to phone in advance if you or your family member has any mobility concerns). There's plenty of seating throughout, however, with some set back in nooks in the walls. As well as serving real ale from independent brewers, they stock genuine imported lagers from around the world. Their fridge of bottled beers looked quite comprehensive. They also have guest beers which change regularly - when I visited they had Jaipur from Thornbridge on (one of my all time favourites). They serve food but we didn't eat here on this occasion. I can guarantee I will be a punter here again when I'm over next time.
