Good guys, good food, good place. We much prefer this to Abduls a few doors down.
Original blurb
Of the four Saajan restaurants reviewed in Manchester this is the only one officially connected with Saajan Halal in Rusholme, which is no bad thing. The menu and set up are almost identical and the kebabs were of a similarly high standard, with the bread possibly better. It is a matter of opinion as to whether the other minor details were preferred over the other establishment's offerings, but everything was of a high standard. The marinade on the meat was slightly inferior and less interesting, and the yoghurt based chilli sauce didn’t provide enough contrast with the yoghurt and mint sauce, but this is not a universal view. The place is light with a large window, and the service is excellent and friendly - with free popadoms and drinks given on a first outing. A very enjoyable visit, in a good location.
