Annie's in Manchester is VERY good. Tasty food (very northern feel, with good fish and chips, an awesome sunday roast and truly excellent choices of pie).

Worth a visit for sure. Pub-food prices in the middle of Manc seem cheap but very nice food. Just watch out for the drinks, mind. 5 of us paid a bill of about £110.

Went to the Plough and Flail last week at Mobberley. Very good and because we booked online and it was our first visit we got 25% off everything. Definitely worth trying

Went to Anar Kali last night and I wasn't very impressed. Chicken chat to start was ok and the service was pretty good, but my lamb main was average at best. Had the naga bahar special and the lamb was as tough as old boots.

Place was absolutely rammed though so they must be doing something right. Maybe mine was just a one off?

Yeah, that's the first bad review I've heard tbh. Every time I've been, and everyone I know that's been has loved it.

That's the only reason that I've not written it off and I will give it another go....but man that lamb was tough. Also for a sauce that has ghost chillies in it, it was surprisingly mild.

I bought a couple of Uganda'n naga chillies once to try in a chillie. I used them sparingly (and was mighty careful with my hands) but I found too much heat and not enough chillie taste I was left with the impression that I'd rather use 3 or 4 birds eye chillies or similar.

Incidentally as a useful guide I heard recently that the 'wrinklier' the chillie the hotter it is.

Anyone been to Bukhara's in Samlesbury?

I have been a few times with Asian guys at work and its always awesome food!

Unfortunately its a no beer establishment but dont let that put you off...

If you call them a few days before going they will marinate a whole leg of lamb for your party to share at, its brilliant!

Served with a spicy gravy etc it really is top...

It never does. Easily sorted ...Just go an hour earlier than normal and have a few bevvies in the local later.

However I take it you haven't read the entire thread?

[K-Hod]

Just been having a google, but can't get much conclusive on this.

Has anyone any recommendations for a restaurant in the centre of Manchester? (Broad question I know!!).

Meeting up with an old mate for some beers after the Charlton game, then going out with the other half for a meal- I liked the look of 'Grill on The Alley', but not so much the prices!! Bem Brasil looks good, but seemed a bit too 'all you can eat' for me.

[Sparky Marky]

Bem Brasil - not your normal EAMAYL...top class

Chaophrya

Cafe Istanbul

All three are top notch and reasonably priced.

Believe me, you'd know if I threatened you. Environmental health states 5 star hygiene.

Oooooooh matron everyone's shaking with fear

Great. A spat between probably the two worst WUMs on the site. Maybe they will fight amongst themselves and leave the rest of us alone.
