The
Curry Mile acts as an uneasy
buffer zone between the less-than-
salubrious Rusholme and
Longsight districts of
South Central Manchester and the so-
insalubrious-it's-more-or-less-a-no-go-zone district of
Moss Side.
Nevertheless, a night-time stroll down
Wilmslow Road reveals a
Pandora's Box of eateries, the majority of which have sensible and incomprehensible
Indian Restaurant names (Shandaar, Sangaam, Al Halewi), but also contains some of the most unforgivable linguistic crimes in British restaurant history (
Camel One, Spicy Hut, Mister Khan,
Monsoon Nights).
Widely regarded as the King of The Curry Mile, Sangaam (at the far Town Centre end of The Mile) is as good an Indian restaurant as you'll find anywhere in the country, reasonably priced and patronised by such luminaries as
Jason Orange, formerly of
Take That.
Wilmslow Road is also, coincidentally, the busiest
bus route in Europe, so even late on Sunday night you should at least be able to get back to the middle of town. From
Piccadilly Gardens, catch bus numbers 41-46 or 141-143.
