Caspian

Middle Eastern style - Wilmslow Road, Rusholme
Caspian is described as Persian, and is one of the more unusual kebab places in Rusholme - perhaps because it does not follow many of the accepted conventions. Meat, salad and sauces are all served seperately on one plate and the bread or rice in a basket or additional plate. Every item is of a high standard. In keeping with other Middle Eastern places the flavourings are more subtle than their Pakistani/Indian counterparts. The range of other dishes and large portions make this a place to look out for. However its lack of similarity to the usual keabab experience (i.e. all ingredients here are not combined into a huge sandwich with lots of chilli sauce and yoghurt) might put some people off. You leave here feeling you've eaten a proper meal. The interior is clean and light, making this a welcome and genuinely different addition to Rusholme kebab scene - though they offer much more than that.
