Swadesh in Manchester

One of the best places of Indian Food away from home , Great Taste , Ambience , Good Service and Friendly Staff , Bhel Puri was decent enough , was similar to Haldirams Bhel puri , but garlic naan and kadai paneer were amazing , Highly recommended , would definitely visit again , Friendly Manager as well

Rang up to book incase we don't find any tables in the evening for 8:30pm on a Friday. Man on phone said no need to book. Couldn't sit at the flower vine booth because they charge £75 lol.Lively place with a mix of music genres playing but abit too loud that you can't hear what the waiter's saying.Ordered drinks virgin Pina colada & sangam fruit punch. They ended up giving us a Pina colada with alcohol by accident which we took a sip of and realised. So they gave a new drink and wouldn't charge for the first drink. Drinks were good overall.For starters ordered popodoms, meat samosa and king prawn tikka. Presented well, not amazing but very nice.Waiter offered us water which was very courteous.Service from the waiter's really good asking often to make sure the food is okay and if we need anything.Mains laal mas, chicken jalali with garlic naan and cheesy naan. Currys were top notch spicy (apna style) just the way we like it.As they got one of the drinks wrong they gave us free desserts (rasmalai & gulab jamun) the ice cream that they served us had almost icicles in like it had been defrosted and put back in freezer, so I wasn't a fond of that.Overall me and partner gave it a 7/10.

Great Indian food! Samosa and Chicken wings for starters. Butter chicken and roti afterwards. Really tasty! Amazing menu - much more to come back for - had to take the children friendly dishes.

Service was very good, we enjoyed the busy atmosphere, the food was tasty and full of flavour. We recommend.

Was here for an evening out and a catch up. Lovely food and service. Was very tasty and loved the seating areas. Very spacious between yourself and other customers. Lovely decor and attentive staff who welcome you with a smile. Only downfall is i feel the prices could be lowered slightly and the music was a little too loud making it hard to understand conversation but overall good experience. Would visit again

Let's start with the look and feel.. Decor is really nice. Atmosphere is also really good. Staff very friendly and attentive so all good there. The food.. although not an option on the menu, I asked for a mixed platter for 1. Waiter was accommodating and said OK.. lamb lal mass for mains with boiled rice and tandoori roti.Although I would like to say otherwise because everything else leading to this pont was good, If I am being honest the starter was not a great experience. The items on the disk were fine, but they were luke warm and dry which was disappointing because they looked soo good. Maybe because it was a half portion or maybe I am making excuses for them but something was not right. Saw a full portion being served and it looked very different to mine.The mains on the other hand was perfect. Really, really good and cooked to perfection. Lamb was tender and curry was very tasty. No complaints at all.Not that is matters much but had to pay for the poppadoms. Not a figure that would be of any concern and being from Ireland its unusual. It may be a thing in the UK.All in all, I would recommend this place.

This restaurant is incredible. It's quite busy but has a nice vibe to it. The waiters are friendly and fun. The interior design is quite modern which contrasts with the classic Bollywood movie posters, this overall makes the restaurant enjoyable to be in.For starters, the mixed and vegetable platter starters are kind of expensive but well worth the price with a group of people, these starters taste fresh and succulent. The group I was with didn't leave a single thing left on the serving plates.For my main course, I had the chicken rezala which has these amazing layers of flavour and just enough spice to give you a kick but not so overpowering to ruin the meal, combine that with pilau rice makes it the whole thing tasting quite delectable. Also the Peshawar naan breads were very good.In conclusion, this place is absolutely worth visiting if you're a fan of curries, like myself, as the food is all very well made and the restaurant itself has an enjoyable atmosphere.

We visited at about 6pm on a Sunday and the restaurant was about half full, by the time we left it was pretty much full. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was excellent. I choose the lamb rezala for main and the lamb was so tender, flaking apart, and no nasty fatty bits. The flavours were delicious and the sauce wasn’t too oily like some Indian food can be. I would recommend Sangam for a modern looking place that has great food. I’d definitely go back 👍🏻
