"Whilst there are many curry houses in Manchester, Rusholme has the biggest reputation thanks largely to the huge concentration of restaurants in such a small area. Sadly, most of these are little more than glorified fast food joints in need of a paint job, the money for which has been spent on the bright neon lights outside instead. Aimed solely at bargain hunters, students and drunken late night revellers, they do battle with offers of free drinks and poppadums. This is where Spicy Hut shines brighter than the glowing neon lights that surround it. There's no need for incentives to get you through the door, in fact prices are slightly higher than many on the Curry Mile. Focus here is aimed, rightly, on the quality of the food with curry connoisseurs and those 'in the know' quickly becoming regulars. The trademark Sizzling Flambees are worth the journey alone, both for taste and spectacle, whilst their other Pakistani signature dishes can't be found elsewhere. In an area that can be very hit and miss, it's important to visit the right restaurant. To fit that bill, you can't get much better than Spicy Hut!" - RestaurantsOfManchester.com (Sep 2007) |
