Previously I’ve called in here after a skinful for a pizza. I can only vouch that this pizza was edible(as evidenced by the fact that I ate it) but other than that, totally unremarkable. After reading a review on here stating that the curries and kebabs were of much better quality than the pizza, I decided to get some Indian food for my Sunday night takeout. First things first — you can get a feast for a pretty small amount of money. With eyes far bigger than my belly I paid £9 for 2 meat samosas, 2 onion bhajis, paneer saag, a naan bread, raita, and a can of Vimto. This for me was enough for two meals, and could stretch to three if you’re less greedy. The samosas were nice. The onion bhajis weren’t great — they were a bit soft and stodgy whereas I prefer them crispy. Paneer saag was delicious — rich and spicy with big chunks of salty cheese. The naan was lovely and it was nice to see them make it before my eyes. Raita was a tad watery but full of fresh flavours and refreshing chunks of tomato and cucumber. Overall this was a really good meal at a great price. In think they do a curry + rice/naan deal for £4 if you’re really pinching the pennies. I’d be interested in trying some more of their veggie curry dishes for certain.

This place does incredible Indian style, post pub Donner and Tikka. The curry is also top notch, much higher standard than you might think from what looks most like a kebab house. The delivery unfortunately let’s it down massively, with orders often cold or just wrong. Too little care in that department. The staff can be rude depending on who you get too. All of this is outweighed by the fact that if you want a proper kebab fix, this is it, Indian, no holds barred, home made tandoori Naan, as Spicey as you like. Love the curries, love the Donner, the pizza is just awful. It’s like two different people designed the food. Go here for Indian, not Italian, but overall what they do well, they do very well.

Admittedly, I’m a bit of an amateur at the kebab. I’ve had my share back in the states(not the same), and plenty of drunken shawarmas and doners the past couple of years in london. The late night chicken kebab I had at Zam Zams was by far my best experience. First off, rather than a wrap or a pita, they use naan bread to wrap the meat and salad. From what I heard, this is actually quite typical in the northern cities, but for me, a first. The chili seasoning from the chicken and the chili sauce(I’m a spicy food freak) was on point. Apparently, kebabs for lunch is a no-no in the UK. Despite this, I forced some friends to accompany me to an afternoon re-vist at zam zam two days later!

Tried for the first time and the food was decent, especially the freshly made nan bread. Just wished the atmosphere matched as the person who served me was rather miserable If it had been more cheeful would go back again.

Surprisingly good kebab house that opened recently between Subway and Dixy Chicken in central Chorlton. I recently had a chicken tikka kebab from there, it costs about £3 for the kebab, or £4 to have it with fries and a drink. They make their own bread in a clay-fired oven and the chicken, which is pre-prepared, is grilled on skewers before being served. It’s good that you can see exactly what they’re doing which isn’t always the case with takeaways. They also do a small number of Indian dishes and various starters. It’s one of only a handful of Chorlton takeaways that you’d consider going to when sober
