Amazing authentic Indian food! 😋 I eat at lily's at least once a week it makes me feel like I'm back in India with the lovely people, great music, atmosphere, and delicious food! I had the best palak paneer, veg pilau and Puri today for lunch 😋😁 usually I go for cheese masala dosa it's amazing!! 😁 by far the best place for Indian food in Manchester, love it! 💖 Highly recommend 💫🙏💫 xxx

I was truly open to anything last night, going into a brand new restaurant is always an experience. Upon arrival we were a touch early so explored through the Asian store ajoined to the cafe, such a vast array of ingredients was a very encouraging start. Within the restaurant itself I was blown away by the sheer mass of the menu, so many incredible dishes, (we tried as many as possible). Our waiter educated us on many dishes and advised us to try a bit of this and a bit of that. EVERYTHING was truly superb and packed with balanced traditional flavor; genuinely the best Indian eatery I’ve ever experienced. This review could be a 11 page dissertation but I will save you all from that. 10/10 and can’t wait to return to devour the rest of the menu!!
Not been for a while and glad to see that the service and food is still fantastic. A busy late lunch in Lily's and still great service. I think we literally had our food ten minutes after ordering. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you! : )
The best curries ever, we travelled over from Halifax today to treat ourselves and it was so worth it... ���
Best Cafe I have ever been to. Fantastic food, spoilt for choice with the menu, lots of interesting dishes and lovely food to take away too. Service fantastic nothing too much trouble, a little gem worth visiting. ���
Quite simply the best vegetarian food around. Impressive menu, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff.
Generous sized portions and great prices.
Fantastic all round!
Outstanding vegetarian curries. Very little grease or salt. High in flavour. Paneer Sixty Five is a great dish along with the Dosas and Sizzler. Absolutely coming again. I am a meat eater too!!!
Third time we have been and we have never been disappointed. Great food and friendly staff, a must visit for all vegetarians even the meat eating ones!
The best South Indian food around not to mention a large menu of Indian food and sweets. For an authentic dosa look no further than Lily's!
So nice to find a place that serves vegan food and even better that the food is absolutely amazing! Will definitely be returning to Lily's when I can. Loved it!
My second time at Lily's- absolutely amazing , gorgeous, wonderful food . Lots of great choice for vegans , fresh home cooked lovely food . Don't expect posh tables and chairs but who cares when you get food like this and lovely smiles all round !! You must go but you must book .�
Fantastic food staff are very very friendly
Very clean .My mum and I went for a meal and she's very fussy she loved it and again the staff are fantastic
Top quality food. All freshly cooked and so so tasty. I would recommend Lily's to anyone.
Amazing food, friendly staff and great prices. Plus a large selection of sweets to take home
Visited here for my best mate's birthday. Food was delicious, everything was fresh and nice. When we arrived the staff was friendly and welcoming . I really enjoyed every minute here. If you are looking for a place to eat then i highly recommend it , you wont regret it. As you can see from the photos, portions were great too .
Food was amazing, hot and fresh out of the kitchen.
Arrived in a timely manner and the servers were happy to help we any questions being a vegetarian restaurant.
I gave the atmosphere 3 stars due to it being really quiet as it was only us in there.
Only real complaint is parking is non existent.
Food is Great, Friendly Staff and quick service too. A vast variety of savouries.. Except finding the car park, the rest is Great!
Always a pleasure to eat at Lilly’s.
Special mention to our waiter yesterday who always makes you feel welcome and serves with a smile. Proper service as it should be.
First visit today!
Me husband and 4 year old nephew
We asked for recommendations from our table server
The lady recommended too much food
The curry was not nice at all
She recommended channa paalak
It didnt taste fresh
The chaat papri was amazing which i chose myself!
Punjabi samosas not fresh again
Chips were yum
Paneer sizzler was nice but really should have gone for potato sizzler
For family of 3 she did recommend way too much
Choose your own dishes as ones she said were tasteless
Best were chaat papri and sizzler
Paid 60 pounds for 2 people
To be honest price was bit steep!
Nice and hygienic place.
Indian food test good.
Most of staff are good and some are like “ok, why are you calling me?” Which is spoiled the mood.
And careful with the bill price , they will charge £1 to £2 more.
Always enjoy a visit to Lily's. We love vegetarian Asian cuisine but we are NOT veggies. The staff and service here are excellent and there is a great variety of food to choose. Even if you love meat it is well worth a visit.
Brilliant restaurant with a passion for authentic Indian food and great customer service. The many had many options, all vegetarian with clearly marked vegan options. The staff are great and helpful and food arrives freshly prepared and tasty. We had some onion nhs jus and samosas, an Uttapam, Goni Manchurian and Bryiani rice. The restaurant is easy to find and there is parking available in the ASM shop next door.

I've now dined at Lily's a number of times.
Quick service and the food is good. I don't normally head to a vegetarian restaurant.... in fact, this is the only vegetarian restaurant I regularly go to.
Excellent ambience. Location advantage, close to Ashton tram station.
Nicely maintained. Good , comfortable seating arrangements. Eyecatching murals and othe decorations. Extremely courteous and helpful staff.
Authentic Indian cuisines with original taste available. Be it Punjabi, Gujarati or South Indian, all available.
Great taste and affordable pricing.
Fine dining is separated from Snacks section.
Overall had a pleasant experience.
Lily's Indian Vegetarian Cuisine offers a delightful dining experience. friendly staff create a memorable, authentic Indian meal. Don't miss it!
Food is delicious. Also , the restaurant is connected to Indian shop where you can buy Indian greediness too. . I came with my family and really enjoyed the food .
First time in Lily’s Indian restaurant and cutest little spot with amazing food. The staff made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experienc especially Mr. Declan
Highly recommend. Every dish absolutely packed with flavour
It was Great experience. Nice place. I felt like I'm in India. Delicious food. Amoung in uk this is the best Indian restaurant. If you visit Manchester so must visit this place. મજા પડી ગઈ બોસ..
Been coming to Lily’s for years and it’s always been great food and great service. They recently opened a new restaurant and it’s excellent. I loved the decor inside, way better than your average Indian restaurant. They’ve added an ice cream bar inside - they’re winning already! The staff were very organised and service was running smoothly. The menu has added a few extra dishes which is always a bonus. The restaurant is doing very well and seems to be fully booked everyday, so I would recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. The food was fab, I will always dine here. Definitely one of my favourite places to eat at.
Edited:
Visited few more times mainly for the lunch time. The starters Punjabi samosa chat and onion bajji is still my favourite and sufficient quantity. For Dosa the sambar is can’t say South Indian style taste but sweeter. Service is always top level and very quick. I would recommend mostly for starters.
Visited 1st time for dine in and ordered few North Indian items (few of my friends tried South Indian dosa with sambar and responded negatively) Punjabi samosa, sev puri, Mumbai sandwich, garlic naan with paneer butter masala. The taste is awesome and it is served very hot & quickly. We usually buy the Punjabi samosa and other snacks items in that shop. Recommend.
Extensive menu conveniently divided into various headings. Food was very very tasty. Really efficient ordering and food cake really quickly even when we were a large group. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Offered to pack up remaining food to take home. My son who is not usually that keen on vegetables said it tasted amazing. Well definitely tell others about it and will definitely be back again soon.
I absolutely loved it. Everything about the experience was just spot on. The décor is great, the service was incredible and the starters were brought out also immediately. Most importantly the food was delicious and as a meat-eater, I didn't miss it at all. But the best was to come when the dessert was served. Between me and my family, we had about 6 different desserts and each one was phenomenal.
PS. Order the crunchy okra and thank me later.
