The Third Eye in Manchester

Third eye is a magical place, it is my favourite Indian place in South Manchester and in the top five best Indian restaurants of Greater Manchester. There are very few Indian restaurants like Third Eye, I love the taste of all of the veggie dishes, friendly staff, nice cosy environment, perfect for any occasion! I am already looking forwards to my next meal here 😋 (I might even go again tonight)

Amazing service and even better food. Mel was a fantastic host, had amazing recommendations and really looked after us. Will be back very soon

This restaurant is phenomenal! I’m a coeliac and the staff as so well informed, I was so comfortable and was able to share food with my partner which doesn’t happen often! I can’t recommend this place enough

Best Nepalese food I have ever had! So accommodating for a walk in, would recommend booking 100%. Want to give a big shout out to Manoj kumar, he was so accommodating and gave great suggestions for a first time diner. I would 100% recommend!

Amazing food, beautiful decor and lovely people. These are the 3 things that I’d describe the original third eye as. The butter chicken, Tandori fish and Nepalese Chilli chicken were the showstopper. Highly recommend and will give a big thumbs up to the chef!

Food glorious food, and North Indian to boot !

How bloody good is Third Eye btw

The best restaurant in Manchester, delicious food. Amazing customer service thank you for creating a wonderful evening for our party

Lovely independent restaurant. Food was so good, I will be back again!

Absolutely brilliant definitely worth the visit. Service on top, food mouthwatering and will definitely be bringing everyone I know.

Amazing staff, amazing food, all round beautiful restaurant! Will come again! Xx

Had a great meal this evening, the staff were really friendly and prompt service. Would recommend for a fab curry

Amazing service, attentive staff, lovely food

These dudes rule. The food, banter, the company, the fine range of spices, and most importantly, the perfect host for Paneer Fest 2025. Rock on third eye!

Really nice food. Moving to the area soon so will probably be our go to curry place!

Although the staff are very welcoming and friendly and attentive they were very cheeky when it came to the bill. We had pre booked for a larger group so paid a large deposit upfront which was to be taken off the final bill which they had claimed had been done but then checking after a member of the table had already paid, we had to rectify as they hadn't removed the booking deposit and tried to charge the £160 more than they should have. After this had been rectified we realised the day after we'd left they had added a £70 tip to the tables bill without discussion or anyone knowing about it especially when members of the table were already arranging cash tips between us. A majority of the food was nice however a few guests weren't 100% pleased with the vinegary jackfruit or some of the spice levels in the milder dishes as even the butterchicken which was confirmed to be mild had quite a kick too. The restaurant itself was lovely too and loved the tebatan touch to the decor

Delicious meal. Wonderful service. Would definitely recommend!

Such a wonderful atmosphere and even better food! Extremely hygienic place with really sweet and friendly staff. The richness of flavor in every dish we tried was simply out of this world!

Amazing. Great advice and fantastic food.

Excellent service with top quality food

Delicious food and they were able to let me know what is gluten free as it was all made fresh!

Superb food and service at Third Eye Range of dishes and all were amazing. Saag Chicken was so tasty. And the Mango Kulfi with Saffron was amazing.

Best Nepalese restaurant in North West easy. Award winning. Now a regular and staff treat everyone regular or not to the highest standards. We love the staff, they remember you, ask about the last conversation you had etc. Family run independent.

Visiting our daughter from Ireland, amazing service and hospitality. Food was very tasty.

Amazing food, served by dedicated and friendly staff! Worth a visit to this award winning restaurant!

First time, absolutely amazing curry, will be visiting again!

Mel and the staff looked after us proper. Food was unreal and very good service. Had to wait a bit for our table but still 5/5

Really excellent food and fantastic service. Thanks so much for making us so welcome

Lovely meal. Plenty of options. Excellent service.

Lovely attentive staff and food delicious 😋

Been coming since the grand opening and it’s THE place to go! Best curry, best service. Simply, the best !!! Vegetarian or meat, vegan or not . All catered for . Thank you

Cantapuri I don’t think I’ve spelt that correctly but it was absolutely amazing. The staff were attentive and kind. Really appreciated their advice on the dish we were each looking for.

Great food and service, one of the chicken chilli starters had me fighting for my life but was quite the experience and don't regret a thing

Great food. Friendly staff and owners.

Great food and good, cheerful service. We couldn't eat everything, but it was too delicious to leave behind. An ideal spot to enjoy an evening catching up with friends over a table filled with wonderful food.

Food always on point here. Classic Nepalese dishes always served fresh and tasty

Fantastic menu and lovely staff - thank you!

Love this place, come here all the time and it never disappoints. Mel is a legends and always looks after us all!

Fantastic food & service. Highly recommended.

It was my first time here and the food and service was lovely! Highly recommend :)) will definitely be back!

Excellent food, well explained differences and outstanding service. Highly recommended.

Excellent authentic food, wonderful staff, thank you

Fantastic food, excellent service. Highly recommended

Great meal. Staff very welcoming

Amazing food, great service. Would fully recommmend! We were a group of males and it was a Christmas meal with some friends. The staff were amazing. We asked for their recommendations on dishes and they definitely delivered.

Great place, great staff, great vibes

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Mel was great!!

Mega food best curry around! Chilli chicken and butter chicken👌👌! Mel and the team are great!! Lovely beer as well! 👍👍

La comida era fantástica, tan sabrosa y auténtica! El personal también fue muy servicial a la hora de recomendar platos. Definitivamente iré de nuevo, 10/10! Recomendaría el tercer ojo compartiendo starter!

Amazing food and atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Masala de pescado. Fantástico. Buena comida. Personal amable. Sin duda recomiendo este lugar. No puedo esperar a volver. Hasta pronto.

La comida era muy sabrosa y el personal era muy agradable! Tamaños de porciones generosas también. Sin duda recomendaría! Volveremos otra vez. .

Had dinner and can’t recommend the personalised customer service and incredible food, esp their mushroom rice and daal makhani. 10 *

My gut is doing handstand for the last 3days, I can't believe it was from there

amazing food as always staff are so welcoming

Fabulous food and service, friendly staff

Lovely. First visit. Great overview of the restaurant and the food when we said it was a first visit... And everything sounded amazing! Took a while to decide, but it was all delicious. The chilli chicken was amazing, as was the nepalese beer. Will be back to try more.

A wonderful fusion of Nepalese and Indian cuisine - works very well, everything was delicious. Recommend trying the chili chicken as this was our favourite, though everything else was also superb. Definitely a place for repeat visits to work our way through the options on the menu.

I would just like to warn others from this place. That two different family members months apart. Have both come down with severe food poisoning . On the first occasion we could pinpoint it . But after Tuesday 12th we now know for sure it's this restaurant.. be warned especially getting a takeaway and fish. Will be reporting this also . Noel

Amazing service, amazing knowledge of the cuisine, food... it was incredible!

Amazing food,good chat - thank you!

Best Indian I've had for a long time! Butter chicken is to die for.

The food here is REALLY good and the service is friendly and efficient too. :)

Excellent meal. Great restaurant

First class food and exemplary service

Great food! We had the lamb biryani and it was delicious, the lamb was very succulent. Would highly recommend!

Excellent" 6 /6 The ambiance was so welcoming and the care and attention paid to my mum was beautiful, made her birthday feel really special! The food is out of this world! The butter chicken is the best I’ve ever had, the advice to order the chilli chicken as a great accompaniment was spot on, the meat was so tender and delicious in the lamb rogan josh and the Dal was phenomenal. However, the Kantipur chicken, which I’ve never heard of before, was the absolute star of the show - tangy sweet and sour Nepalese unctiousness!

Not been for a while but didn’t disappoint. Very tasty, quick service. Perfect curry

Delicious food. Very tasty and a wonderful balance of spices. Excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Always great, always come back for the tandoori mackerel and butter chicken

Great to be back at this restaurant 20 years since I first came. The quality hasn’t changed - the food is first class and the service is excellent. Great value, gorgeous food - will be back sooner this time!

Great good. Great service. Mel was friendly and clearly passionate about her food and business. Would definitely recommend it.

Delicious food, wonderful staff!

Very good service. Great selection of food and staff are super friendly. My friends and I were in for an Irish wedding and they offered so much advice

Great food, something different and original and learned a lot about new dishes. Superb

Best curry I’ve ever had! Best restaurant! Best service going! Mel is a legend! From 5 Irish lads who are going to a wedding 🇮🇪

Absolutely incredible food and service as always! Highly recommend The Original Third Eye

Delicious food and excellent service from Mel. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice meal out in Manchester.

The Third Eye is by a country mile the best Nepalese Indian I have ever been to. I've been to many similar restaurants in Manchester, in other cities and abroad but the 3rd Eye is the one that invariably ticks all the boxes. It always has a warm and friendly atmosphere however busy they are. The staff are lovely and the service is excellent. The food is excellent. I can particularly recommend one of their specialties, Chicken Chilli but you won't be disappointed in any of their dishes. It is truly excellent.

Great place to eat, the momos were really good and they threw in some extra drinks for free - really nice people!

I’ve been here a few times and the service is out of this world. I can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing food and service. Specials were Devine

Great service and amazing quality food!

We always come to the third eye, it’s simply the best food! The tastes are 100% fresh and healthy!

I went to the third eye tonight and ordered three dishes . The staff were extremely friendly . They gave me their own recommendations. I really enjoyed trying some new dishes as well as my own . Great quality and I would highly recommend.

We had been looking forward to trying this restaurant as it was so well rated but we were left disappointed. We ordered one of our favourites, dal makhani, and were quite underwhelmed with the flavour compared to what we get from other restaurants. We also ordered the makhan chara and the chicken was really over cooked and dry. As the restaurant is small, it’s gets very loud when busy. There were a couple of larger groups when we were there which made it noisier.

Lovely meal, staff very helpful I would definitely recommend

Superb food!! So delicious leaving you comfortably full. The service was so friendly explaining the background of the restaurant and all the dishes. Definitely coming again.

Lovely food Lovely experience ! Recommend

Lovely meal, great gluten free options too ! Thank you

Walked into restaurant halfway through the Didsbury Dozen. Excellent food. Staff fantastic

Staff extremely knowledgeable regarding the food and choices. Very friendly, would highly recommend this restaurant

Best curry in Manchester. Been going for years now and out of the many curry restaurants I’ve visited, I sincerely can say this is by far the best. Everything down to the naan bread was delicious and the staff never fail to be helpful and friendly. Would absolutely recommend!

Superb food and atmosphere. One of the best in Manchester.

Came here on a recent visit to try it out after hearing good reviews of this place. It’s a bit different, the popadoms are the ones other places call ‘spicy’ - the chutneys were excellent and not stingy too. I had the Lamb Shah Jani , it was pretty good but left quite a residue of oil on the plate. The Nan bread was reasonable - the service was a little offhand-ish though. Will definitely go back and try another dish.

Lovely food, lovely staff, will definitely come again

probably the best curry I’ve had period

Really friendly and fantastic food - really appreciated all the recommendations

Lovely hospitality from all the staff and super fast service. Would highly recommend!! The food was delicious and you can tell it’s cooked from the heart. Will definitely be coming back for more!
