Rusholme’s curry mile

[mancityvstoke]

Only went once. Was very basic. Formica tables. Was a one man operation, with owner very taciturn, but great authentic food. And cheap. Disappeared late 80s.

Did he take over The Plaza?

I know a lad who's family opened the original Mughli, they happen to be blues also..

Anyway, he simply states that the boom of the 80/90/00s was down to work ethic, real elbow and dill, that encompassed the second generation of migrants. These then became empowered due to the importance of education put upon them, thus whilst others stood still, they evolved further...

Those who gained an education in the business, applied it and ventured out, the lad above is one of many who have become very wealthy...

Personally I think the drugs trade just became saturated, but that's just my theory!

I used to go to a brilliant kebab shop on Hyde Road near Gorton market.
The shop was tiny, you could touch both walls it was that narrow. However, the doner type meat was unbelievable. I say doner "type" meat as it wasn't the cheap crap sold these days. The Turkish(Cypriot) owner made the doner meat himself, and i've never found anywhere that tastes the same.
He told me he was retiring to Cyprus and that his son in law "Azilla" was taking over. Azilla didn't last long and the business folded. I did try to contact him to get the recipe for the doner, but he disappeared.

As a wee lad I used to go to the Bombay in Chorlton-in-Medlock. Brunswick St, I think.
Was the Bombay the first Indian restaurant in M/cr, and is it still there?

Think the Taj Mahal at all saints was the first

Late 80's/early 90's i used to booze with a load of lads from Longsight, and quite a few of them used to eat down on the curry mile 2 or 3 times a week.
They rated Mughli's as the best place on there by a mile.
