A delightful little eatery hidden away on a back street near The Village. If you like you dining outings to be a relaxed, enjoyable event then you will love it. Taking inspiration from centuries old Mongolian warrior traditions, you select your raw food (a host of meats, vegetables, sauces and spices) and one of the talented chefs grills and cooks the meal before your eyes. Wonderful decor and polite, attentive staff make this one of the most original and enjoyable eating experiences in Manchester.

Yes it is fun, but (at the risk of sounding like an arrogant Londoner) this chain opened in London over 20 years ago. Some branches have since closed but worth checking the website to see if there's one near you. Tacky and overpriced. No matter what food/combination you select, it all tastes the same. Also, currently living not far from the Mongolian border myself, I can assure you all that there is nothing remotely Mongolian about it. I'm afraid you won't find any centuries old Mongolian warrior traditions here. A tacky overpriced gimmick serving up bland food.
