Been going here for the longest time, never disappoints. Late night study food to just an evening biryani. This place is perfect.
Great value
My friend and I went for a curry to our fave Indian cafe in manchester but found it closed, so we went to see if we could find another one in Rusholme. We chanced upon the Saajan and had a very nice meal indeed. 2xstarters 2xmains a chappatti, salad, mushroom rice, 2xcans of pop all excellently served up with a smile and less than £25. Think we have found a NEW favourite Indian cafe!
They do the most amazing chicken karahi I have ever tasted, 100% have that! The kebabs are excellent but have had a few under par ones sadly

Sajaan is a bit of an institution for me. It's the first Indian/Pakistani kebab I ever had in the UK when I moved to Manchester over 6 years ago now and I always loved it. The fact you could stuff yourself with deliciously saucy and spicy meat and salad on a bit flat bread for £3 was just brilliant. And I genuinely always liked the taste of all three meats: chicken, lamb and shish.
I managed to have a perfectly time opportunity and excuse to go last week after probably about 4 years. I went for lamb. Problem is, and I knew this before, a kebab doesn't travel too well. Before I was only living 5 minutes away but now it had to cope with a 20 mins drive so the bread was saggy and the meat a bit cold. Nothing to do with the Sajaan guys however. My main criticism would be about the quality of the meat. I think it went downhill as my lamb was chewy and full of nerves. I still like the flavours but despite the fact the price has gone up (£3.80 now which is not that exorbitant for a full meal) the meat is not as good as it used to be.
Would happily go back for the chicken or shish, hopefully in the near future though.
This place sells the best kebabs around. Period.
Chicken tikka is fresh and cooked to taste in front of your eyes. Portion sizes are generous and the place is usually always busy which has got to be a good sign hadn't it!!
Plenty of options here, great for after a few scoops too!

My friend used to live in Fallowfield and being a typical single male student, ate at takeaways pretty often. Just as me and my other Whitworth-Park dwelling friends would stop off at Adbuls or Gemini after a night out, he would never fail to stop at Saajan.
Fast-forward 5 years. Single male student is still a student, but now, like many mature students has emigrated south to Didsbury. He still has a penchant for fast food, but not many residents of Didsbury share his fondness, therefore he was most upset when he found out that there are no late night kebab houses in Didsbury.
So the resolution to this problem is that after a night out in town, he simply gets off the bus in Fallowfield, purchases his Saajan kebab and gets back onto the bus to Didsbury feeling content.
It's very rare for such an establishment to survive for so long without even the slightest hint of a rumour about cockroaches, rats or gross staff (a la Abduls and Gemini) to tarnish its reputation, so Saajan must be good. My friend is also generally very lazy, meaning that Saajan must be damn good.
A Fallowfield institution, and my favourite Manchester kebabs over the 12 years I've lived here. Chicken tikka kebab with all the trimmings is the thinking man's choice here.
I can echo the two positive reviews below - the food is great and the staff are very friendly. It's true that they also often (i.e. when it's not rammed full of drunk people) give you a free poppadom/ dip and (less often) a can of drink while you wait.
Not to be confused with the Saajan in Chorlton as(sadly for me as that's where I live now), this is not related - the chap here told me that the Chorlton proprietors have simply copied the logo, decor and menu - but not the quality of food or generosity of portion in my experience!
The original (Fallowfield and Rusholme) is by far the best.
whenever i've seen it with people its always been student and old men - good thing or not??!! food is sometimes cold. Lots to choose from, curries, burgers etc. but amazing staircase must say, go have a look.
I've been going to Saajan for the past 15 years and am really impressed with how they have maintained their standards. They have the best kebabs i have ever tasted and excellent variety including lamb chops, chicken tikka, curries etc. I go regularly to both branches, the one in Fallowfield and the one in Rusholme. The one in rusholme also has upstairs family seating so you can always take the family down for a night out. Excellent place!!!
Saajan takeaway is located on the wilmslow road in fallowfield. Its in line with other takeaways like abduls. Mcdonalds is also just few shops away from saajan. I like to eat at saajans as their food is really good and the staff are very nice and friendly. They also used to give pappodoms whilst you are waiting for your food whichi found very good for a takeaway. They also used to give free drink with food earlier in the aftrenoon. What i love about saajans the most is their Bread Naan. They are so delicious that you can just eat the naan with salad and still enjoy it though chicken tikka tastes much better with it.
Great taste and staff, had a great indian restaura Experience after so long in UK. Cheers!!
Food was amazing if you are looking for authentic asian dishes. Highly recommend food was amazing staff was friendly & corporate. Service was fantastic

Great food, really good service and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend
I’ve been to quite a few of the Indian restaurants in the Curry Mile Manchester and this one is by far the best.
The lamb chops have so much flavour and the meat was juicy with mouthwatering bbq aroma. The beef curry is so tender and the nan is good too.
It’s my first time to try the potato paratha and it is not disappointing at all. I guess part of the reason is that I love coriander.
The staff served us once they have time. I appreciate the service. The price is reasonable as well. The seatings upstairs are quite nice and quiet.
Thank you and will come next time.
Got here after a long day at work and had some delicious and comforting food!
Wasn't disappointed one bit with the variety of food available here!
Extremely pleased!
