An award-winning Nepalese restaurant that I just can't get enough of. In a city of myriad curry restaurants, many of them very mediocre, this cosy little hidden gem sits on a road that also houses two other Nepalese restaurants - but it is undoubtedly the best.

I know people who travel miles to visit this place, as does Peter Crouch, apparently. I find it very difficult walking past on my way back from work, as the smells are to die for. Try the chicken makhanwala.

A genuine local secret. A dodgy-looking curry place on the edge of the trendy bars in the Northern Quarter, Hunter's curries a frankly astonishing range of animals: quail, venison, grouse, all advertised on fluorescent card signs. It's cheap with enormous portions and makes a change from the sometimes indistinguishable curry houses in Rusholme. All the better for being so out of place next to Socio Rehab and Odd. Bizarre.
