So good! I had rice and three veg - they were all very tasty and can’t go wrong for £6! My partner enjoyed his meat curries. Two rice and three, a garlic naan, one samosa and two cans for £19.30! You’re not getting food this good anywhere else in town for that price! Just wish I’d been sooner. Can’t wait to come back. Really friendly staff! Other people were having chapati’s and mango lassi’s and they looked really good.
This and That is an Indian cafe offering a variety of combo meals and snacks. The best part about this cafe is that it’s both budget-friendly and delicious. The ambience and service were decent, though nothing exceptional. I tried their rice, curry, and a snack, and was satisfied with the meal.
2 meals, 2 bhaji 2 cans of pop and 1 naan £21. 3 different curries and rice each. Fantastic tasty quality food. Quick service as well. Highly recommend this little canteen hiding down an alleyway!

What an amazing place ! I was hesitant at first but the food was authentic and very tasty. 🤤 The service was pleasant but the food was surprising tasty. Very reasonably priced , I would have paid more. Sorry pictures of empty plates because it was too delicious.

Hidden gem just around the corner from Manchester bus station. Amazing Indian food, friendly stuff and a lot of happy customers at all times a day. Been there on Friday around 6pm and did not wait at all. The street looks shady but the food is great! Very cheap! 👌
