Kabana in Manchester

Absolutely disgusting food bland with no flavour or spices, total waste of money and I'm now convinced that my brother got food poisoning from them last week after he ordered from them Give the place a wide berth that way you are safe from poorly prepared tasteless crap food

¡Brillante! Arroz n tres por 8 libras. 50 . Comí pollo, cordero y keema. Gran lugar para pasar la hora de la cena rodeado de otros entusiastas del curry!

All food spicy with the same test of ingredients the restaurant smells bad

The food was too spicy but no one informed us and told us before ordering. The place was a mess and not clean dishes . The service was bad not polite staff.

I don’t want to tell you about this place it’s so good. The food is bliss, service with a smile. Don’t expect anything posh. Just my kind of place.

Definitely The Best 3 Curries & Rice! Beautiful Naan Bread.

Love this place,one of Manchesters hidden gems,top quality curry at very reasonable price.Thankyou

Staff very friendly, always well received by rizz red 🔴 , he always makes me discover dishes, really my favorite restaurant kabana

Legends, no words can express how good this place is. You know what you mean to me Guys.......keep doing what you do and the well overdue Mayor's award and the key to the City will come.

Very friendly staff, superb food and good value

Always amazing food here. I love it

Este es un lugar que visitamos de vez en cuando y siempre es excelente. Puede estar ocupado especialmente durante el almuerzo, pero persevera, ya que siempre tendrás una mesa y no te decepcionará. Tres currys diferentes y arroz por alrededor de £ 8 es un valor tremendo y la comida es absolutamente deliciosa. Cada día ofrece platos diferentes y en esta ocasión comimos espinacas y patata, picadillo y guisante junto con curry de cordero. Cada uno era absolutamente excelente y se obtiene una gran porción por lo que no se irá con ningún apetito restante! El agua se proporciona en la mesa de forma gratuita, que es diferente a otros cercanos por lo que este lugar es muy recomendable.

Just called the restaurant asking about something in their menu on Uber Eats, and the owner goes I don’t have time for this, you come here and look at it or don’t bother us calling.

I have to say this is my favourite curry house EVER! The lamb curry is absolutely delicious! Always fresh and with ginger is just incredible. The owner and staff are all very kind. It’s a must when visiting Manchester. Also great value for money too. 👌🏻😍👌🏻

Amazing food as always. Nehari at its best. You can’t beat Kabana’s Nehari in the North West region. Well done Riz.

The food was amazing the overall experience was fantastic. Can't wait to return.

Been looking forward to trying this place for ages, not sure what all the fuss is about. Service is quick but not very friendly. Nihari was OK but a small bowl for £7? Wasn't really worth it. I saw a member of staff taking used napkins off tables and putting them back with clean ones.

The food was amazing and so were the staff. Decor is a bit outdated but place is clean

A nice little place for some desi food with good food and relatively cheap prices

My favourite gaff to eat in the UK! It's just the best. Staff are mega food is too vibe is elite.

Friendly welcome and tasty authentic curries, had the rice and three, enjoyed the mix veg curry and the tender lamb (off the bone) Karahi £9.50 with a nice fluffy naan

It's fantastic. I prefer a more traditional type naan, a little crispier, but the Chicken Tikka is terrific. Had a meat samosa while I waited on the Tikka. Definitely check it out.

The northern quarter has been gentrified too much, this is one of the original authentic curry cafes.Rizz the owner is a gent, not been in for years but he remembered me, which is always nice.

Food is consistently good. I go at least once a month and eat the same food I've had there for many years: chicken tikka on naan with two meat samosas. Food quality is great. Rizwan and the team are awesome

Very tasty curry and delicious naan for an affordable price. If you're Indonesian, the chicken & spinach curry will remind you of Nasi Padang with its cassava leaves and Gulai Ayam. Definitely coming back again.

Tasty, great value curry lunch😊

I work 1 day a week in the Northern Quarter and we have food here weekly for curry Wednesday. Chicken biryani and Lamb Karahi is about£15 which is a decent portion for two people. Staff are great, you can have a laugh with them and the wait isn't long most days for your food if at all. Food is flavoursome, fresh and generous would recommend this hidden gem by that from the outside doesn't look like it should be up there with places to try curry in Manchester. Worth order kababs over the phone as they are made fresh for collection.

Great food, fantastic value and speedy service, would recommend 👌

Amazing food as always. The Nehari hits the spot perfectly. Have ordered from Kabana for nearly 40 years and never had an issue with anything. Always top notch food and service from Riz.

If you only need to taste good food with a very good price this is the place !

Situado en el centro en el barrio norte, esto es hasta la tierra, pero uno que sirve excelente comida. Tres de nosotros llamamos por su arroz y tres oferta que le permite elegir tres de esos especiales de día y tenerlo con arroz o un chapati como hicimos. El picadillo y el guisante estaba muy bueno, las espinacas y la patata igual pero la estrella del espectáculo fue el cordero en el hueso que era absolutamente excelente. 8 £ cada uno por esto es una gran relación calidad-precio también y proporcionan agua gratis y chiles y cilantro si lo desea. El servicio era un poco peligroso el día que entramos, pero estoy seguro de que fue solo porque estaba ocupado y realmente disfrutamos de nuestro tiempo allí.

The price is reasonable and the portion is quite large. I’ve ordered a lamp chops. It was so tender and juicy, just tastes slightly burnt but overall is a 8/10. Both dishes are freshly cooked and served hot which tastes extra nice on a rainy day. ₊˚ ⋅ 𓐐𓎩 ‧₊˚ ⋅⋆◡̈

Great curry at a great price. The cafe is a bit gritty nut that's fine with me.

What a great place, there is a reason it is still serving brilliant food since it was established in 1982, it is top notch and great VFM. Four of us has ‘rice and three meats’ with a drink each and two fresh naan breads, £44, you can’t get better than that! I will be back.

Excelente comida de calidad y excelente servicio. Será difícil encontrar algo mejor en el centro de la ciudad y una excelente relación calidad-precio también. Cuatro de nosotros nos encantó y sin duda volveremos. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente.

Spent £40 here... on my own... for lunch. I binned half the food because it had spilt all over the bag. Nothing left to eat really. They pack it in foil and cardboard trays... maybe think of different packaging. Called the place to complain and just got attitude...

Amazing food as always, the Nehari is legendary. Tried many other Nehari places but nothing compares to Kabana’s Nehari.

This place is really busy... but the food is not what I expect. Being Pakistani myself. I can tell the flavors have been dulled down for a city centre crowd. Sometimes you can't please everyone. Also, I love the lamb kharai. On the bone. But I noticed when you go later in the day, and its been sitting there... it tastes off. If you say anything to the owner Riz... you just get back chat and an attempt to humiliate you. Not a spot for me anymore...

Best curry in town. And when I say curry, I mean a proper authentic number. This and Al Faisal have always been the best, but Kabana is now out there on its own.

Without doubt the best most authentic food in Manchester.

Después de haber visto un gourmet de YouTube hablando de este lugar, (especialmente las chuletas de cordero) solo tuve que hacer una visita. Locamente ocupa la misma parcela de la esquina que una fantástica casita de curry, Café Yacoub que comí 4 veces a la semana en 81 / 83 y recuerdan hasta hoy! Dirígete al cruce de Back Turner y la calle John en el barrio norte y simplemente sumérgete en el menú... elegimos su famoso curry y tres, elegidos de la junta especial. (Valor absurdo en £ 8. 50 ) . Un bonito chapati suave y sustancial ayudó a limpiar la salsa profundamente saborizada del cordero, pollo y espinacas posados sobre arroz fragante perfectamente cocido, y luego unos minutos más tarde. . . tambor redoble . . . . las chuletas llegaron! Enormes, carbonizados y demencialmente morenos son probablemente los mejores que he probado y a £ 6. 50 otra ganga ridícula. Super dulce, arroz pud para después redondeó todo con una floritura limpiadora del paladar y me dejó sintiéndome bendecida de vivir a pocos kilómetros de Manchester. Huelga decir que el equipo de cocina es suave, eficiente y rápido ... tienen que ser como escuché al hombre principal tomar un pedido telefónico de 28 porciones! Con dos blandengues la cuenta subió a 21 libras, y desafío a cualquiera a encontrar mejor comida a ese precio en cualquier parte de la tierra verde de Dios. ¡Saluden a Kabana, la mejor casa de curry de la que nunca has oído hablar... hasta ahora!

came for a quick lunch, food comes super fast and is absolutely delicious. really great meat or vegetarian curries. Dahl was my favourite

I had an excellent experience at Kabana: lamb curry off the bone with a delicious large soft naan.. highly recommend and I’m often a skeptic when it comes to reviews of food places…

Great food & great price. Table service.

Tasty Indian/Pakistani food in Manchester City centre.

This place is becoming my regular scran spot. Best in town, hands down.

i enjoyed. the food and will definitely order again

Their world class nihari is the best thing I have ever eaten, and so consistent

Me and my partner make the trip from Sheffield to Manchester just to eat here! The food is amazing and the staff are lovely! My partner loves the biryani they do and I love the Currys! Hard to top this place.

Karahi lamb is superb and very reasonably priced. Grilled meats also very good

Beautiful food - we got tikka wrap - veg curry keema curry and chicken tikka curry / all beautiful . Will defo be Using this again - each day has different menu

Can't help wondering how long this place has been open, but I've been coming here for about 40 years. Basic cafe, excellent food at a really good price and friendly staff... Just the way I like it. This place really is a hidden treasure. Try the naan kebab sandwich or the lamb curry and rice. And a nice big mug of tea.

One of the very few outlets which offers authentic and tasty kebabs and curries. The food is amazing and comes at a very low cost (1 person can have a good portion of meal at £8). The place was busy with customers (during afternoon hours) and service was very fast. Worth the try.

Best place for curry in city centre

this has become my weekly staple with my son, lovely freshly cooked food, does get very busy.. but once you have tried it you will understand the fuss

If you're in Manchester and looking for a nice street food style Indian meal you are not going to find better than Kabana, great food. Not open Saturdays. 3 veg curry + rice, chepati and drink £9, booooooom 😎

descent food place. staff are good. not bad for lunch time

This is not a 5 star venue, but for an authentic curry in the back streets of Manchester for £8 it can not be beaten. It is not posh at all, but the food was delicious. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. It is like a truckers diner. The naan bread was sooooo fresh it was lovely. We had the keema and dansak, and they were really tasty. You pay up front and no alcohol .

👍 Always the standard gorgeous food, authentic & tasty.. Masala Chicken, Seekh Kebab, brilliant breads flavoured & plain.. their spicy onion on kebab are Mmmmm x

Simply great food, friendly people.

As ever the food at Kabana was excellent.

Great curries at fantastic prices, love it. If your posh then this place is certainly not for you.

Everyone has to try this place especially the cheese naan. Kebab sandwiches are amazing.

Good for lunch, a little greasy

Cracking curry that doesn't hurt your wallet

No food came or my money or any contact from just eat I wil be suing just eat taking this matter further

I remember going here with my Dad in the late 80's early 90"s. Went to check it out again today. I had Chicken Balti with rice and chapati. Was incredibly delicious!

The quality of their food was not good at all and the behavior with the customers was very bad

Absolutely disgraceful £26.00 pound and I didn’t even receive my full order! For £26.00 I got old bread and a curry of one! For £26 pounds was cold to me wasn’t fresh disgraceful! Company!! Horrible

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment in Manchester, and it was truly a delightful experience. The Indian cuisine surpassed my expectations, offering a perfect blend of flavors. What sets this place apart is not just the delectable dishes but also the affordability that doesn't compromise on quality. Every bite was worth the price paid. Highly recommended for those seeking an excellent dining experience without breaking the bank.

Wicked little find, open early and super reasonable prices. Rice and choice of 3 curries from the specials menu that day for £8.50

One of the worst place ever been in the UK. And so dirty supplies. Not clean tables. I will come back one more time to see the difference, I hope you guys will make a difference, because it was not really good experience I had, I give you guys two start because you were nice people and friendly but it should be cleaner.

Literally the best hidden eat in Manchester, I visit weekly and the food is always amazing and so affordable, if you’re ever in Manchester you need to visit.

Was so spicy and tasty today, been coming for years I know my curry and this place is the best

Probably my favourite of the curry cafes in Manc for a "rice & 3" now the Al Faisal has moved (and IMO isn't as good). Big portion of food, the 3 curries were all very different and tasty, and the roti was steaming hot! Just off the busy pedestrian strip which is now rejuvenated with bars, Kabana is definitely recommended.

I visited about 11.30am on a Tuesday, the place was already very busy. The service was brilliant you even had a jug of water on every table. I had the lamb Karachi and a garlic naan, the food was spicy and flavoursome. It's one of the best curries I have had. Anyone visiting Manchester check this place out.

I last visited in 1991... I hope they still do the chicken nan.

Just simply the best Nihari for a nice Sunday morning breakfast 😋

Absolutely superb,best kebab I've ever had. Chicken & long lamb sausage things on garlic nann with salad & sauce. So tasty & succulent. Get two if you ever have the chance to sample this place.

Been dining at Kabana's since 1985, simply the best! the food is always amazing. If you enjoy curries - this is the place! can get a little crowded during peak times & needs a little TLC

Really wonderful find while on a weekend escape to Manchester. Affordable, very friendly welcome and really good food. The Chicken Tikka was really good and we had great rice and three curries with it. The facilities could be better but the experience is overall great if your fancying a good indian lunch.

Quality & taste are consistently good. Thumbs up 👍

Lovely lamb karahi. Think for the 3 curry and rice this is right up there with the city’s best.

Best curry spot in Manchester. Best rice and three (I’ve eaten at em all, trust me, I know). Friendly staff and great environment.

Tasty food with reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I had their lamb biryani and it was absolutely delicious, one of the best I have ever had. And very reasonable prices . If you’re missing Indian food this one’s for the soul .❤️

Authentic taste, fresh & value for money! Happy customer me 😃

Always a pleasure. Be it at the NQ location or cheetham Hill rd. Rice and 3 is one of the best about in Manchester. Chops, chicken tikka, & seekh all amazing. Nihari on a Sunday is a must!!!! IYNYK!

One of only a few original food flavours left in Manchester for over 30 years. Thumbs up 👍

Very nice food. Service is super quick also.

Great tasty and cheap food served fresh to your table. Love the fact that the tikka dishes are cooked over charcoal. Delicious !!

Do not judge a book by its cover. Go and try

I dream about the lamb karai here. People go on about the nehari, but honestly the lamb karai and 2 chapatis is the closest to heaven. One day i may try something else, but i just dont have the discipline...

Currys are disgusting even the water was stale Only decent was there meat seek kebabs and Nan was nice Rotis was under cooked basically cheap and nasty Currys never again

Best food ever if you wanna taste in Manchester with such low price

Food is amazing, i recommend the lamb chops and chicken kebabs

Mashallah best food in Manchester

A little bit of Asia in the centre of Manc. Warm and hospitable, with heaped servings of rice-based curry dishes, which were authentic. Good scran!

Excellent curry cafe in the Northern Quarter. Good spot for rice and three!

Super leckeres Essen. Einfach Einrichtung, aber sauber. :)
