A decent place for lunch
It may not look particularly appealing from the outside, but they do make some good curry there. It gets busier at lunchtime, the sign that they are doing things right. If you really peckish, order some naan to share.
A recent review said not to judge a book by its cover - I echo this. A new passer-by might be unlikely to come in here - it's on a back alley / street, and isn't exactly an aesthetic beacon. But you should definitely go - you can get your rice and three for 5 pounds - home cooked deliciousness. There are 4 or 5 tables in there for seating, but they are two-tops and it's very tight. This is a great little curry house right by piccadilly gardens. We went because of the TA reviews - very glad we did!
Hi, me and my husband we went there to eat Lamb Karahi and it was super, We recommend. We would like to have that recipe, can you give us please, thank you
First of all this place is small and second of all forget about the place the food is absolutely delicious.You get hot food with either naan or rice and it's amazing.The naans are huge but they are so soft.We ordered Rogan rhost and chicken with rice.It was not Less than satisfying.If you want hot comfort food this is the place to go.
I haven't visited for some time but decided to stop by during my lunch break. Despite it being over a year, I was warmly welcomed by the family run team.
The food quality was as fantastic as I remembered; their homemade breads are easily the best I've tried. The lamb was very succulent, and the was sauce is rich. It's not the cheapest lunch option, but for the price and taste, it still represents good value.
Whilst the location is modest, the experience is authentic.
There are a lot of good curry cafes in the area, but for me, Marhaba is still the best.
It was a marvellous experience. If an Asian comes to Manchester must visit the place. Even I have seen some different ethnicity people there as well.The food is amazing. They take time but they make sure everything is perfect. The staff is very nice. Highly recommended
A great rice and three cafe. Unlike the others in Manchester, which serve canteen style, they cook each dish fresh in pans so you have to wait a bit for your food. We had chana, daal and spinach curries, a veg samosa, and a chapati which was the star of the show. It came to £9 which for quantity and quality was great.
We had two 3 No. curries & rice. Absolutely lovely, all freshly made. A little gem tucked away in Manchester
Ridiculously wonderful food. No frills just lovingly well produced extremely flavoursome dishes. Real home made street food without the marketing. Family run tiny curry restaurant that puts effort into every dish everyday. Basic space, magnificent food. How I like it.
Fabulous authentic food. Love these golden nuggets you find off the beaten track in Manchester. Try this place you will go back again and again. Enjoy!!
Absolutely fantastic food. Best cafe curry food I've tasted.
Nice family run curry house. Has a tandoor so the naan is the best of all around town. This and kabana for me.
Best Indian curries in my life! And such a good price. Great flavour, homemade food, and friendly family. Wanting to come back soon. It just taste sooo good, you wont regret
Just had my first meal here, 3 curry's and rice. It was excellent. Lovely people, quick service and perfect portion size.
I'm already planning another visit.
The food in this place is fantastic. Best value curry every! Not entirely sure about the alleyway its on but you don't have to go too far in to reach the place :O
So delicious, really enjoyed my meal here today. I'll be visiting more often!
Amazing curries! Real homemade, traditional, authentic grub! Best curry cafe in manc for me. Non of these Western influenced curries that dominate most curry restaurants these days.
Wanted something different to eat while in Manchester for a few days so had a Google. Came up with this place, read the reviews and thought yup, give it a go. Dont go by looks alone as this is in back Piccadilly (like an alleyway) Glad I Did! Got the mixed kebab and a couple of samosas (1 veg, 1 chicken). Was best I'd had in a long time!! Think I'll make it my local when I'm in Manchester again. 5*
This is by far one of the best hidden Gem’s in Manchester. Don’t judge it by it’s location or looks. Everything is homemade and fresh so give yourself some time. Seating is restricted to around 8 - 10 people maximum 2 per table but if your group can’t fit then get takeout and sit somewhere like Piccadilly Gardens and enjoy. This is not to be missed. I’ve been going for about 10 years or more and can’t find anything else that quite hits the spot. This n That come very close ( if you know where they are ) but not quite. If you’re getting takeaway and plan on catching a train give yourself an additional 45 mins. I usually call on my motorbike as I can just about park outside however the side street is very narrow so walking is advised.
Simple and good Indian food. They have some vegetarian options. I went for 3 curries on rice for 6 £. They are hidden just around the corner and easy to miss.
I work in Manchester and recently came across Cafe Marhaba after recommendations from colleagues. What a fantastic little place, it may be hidden away and not look too much from the outside, but I got a warm and friendly welcome when I entered, the food was all fresh and my Chicken Tikka kebab (including homemade Naan) was all cooked in front of me, portion sizes were spot on and was very reasonably priced for the middle of the city centre. Highly recommended, I will definitely be back to try the 3 curries and rice.
One of my first stops whenever I'm back in Manchester.
My go to for three curries and rice. I'd say the rice is easily the best of any of the other restaurants that offer the same deal and this also has a tandoor for fresh naans and great seekh kebabs.
Absolutely no frills place.
