Indian Tiffin Room, Manchester

The hype surrounding Indian Tiffin Room has been deafening. Just months after opening its Manchester city centre branch it has already been nominated for the British Curry Awards Outstanding Restaurant of the Year. However, there’s strong competition. Spinningfields’ Scene has a dazzlingly inventive menu along with a charming relaxed atmosphere, and long-term favourite Akbar’s has a trophy cabinet full of awards.

Thankfully, Indian Tiffin Room walk as good as they talk, with evocative imagery of roadside eateries deftly serving up fresh hot vibrant food living up to expectations. Indeed, many dishes are excellent making it well worth a visit to try out the dosa and other authentic dishes.
