    Absolutely love this place. We order take away from the restaurant often and it never disappoints. The food is always cooked fresh and is super tasty. They do all the vegetable sides so well! (Actually difficult to find an Indian restaurant that still does all of these as sides). Such good value for money and staff are always friendly. Would highly recommend.

    I've been going to Khandoker for 13 years. The last four or five times I've promised I won't go back for a variety of reasons. But after last night, that's it. We went in as a table or two at 18:30. We waited 1 hr and 20 minutes for our food to arrive due to a big take away order. We were over charged by more than ยฃ10 (we were in a rush and only noticed this morning) and we were - as always - sold flat fizzy drinks from a big bottle. ยฃ2.95 for that. Just never going back. I like the young lad in there, we've been going for more than a decade but no more.

    We arrived just as they were closing, (4 of us)We were asked by Ali, if we would like a takeaway instead, we didn't really want a takeaway and we're delighted when Ali said we could eat. Ali is lively, he was fun and jocular, made us feel at home. The food, a byriani, rogan josh, korma and chicken omelette with chips and salad, was perfect. The atmosphere was nice and alcohol is served here too, a bonus. Highly recommend Khandker Restaurant. Open till 10pm Monday to Saturday and 9pm on Sunday THANK YOU for serving us.

    Khandoker is consistently the best curry restaurant - staff are so friendly, the food is always perfect and great portions. Really good menu as well. I donโ€™t think weโ€™ll ever go anywhere else!

    Ordered once a week for the last few weeks now and all times really consistent! Have to say this is the best massala around town, so flavoursome and in depth! All the sides and sundries are lovely too! Definitely recommend

  • 1/5 Amanda W. 5 months ago on Google
    We ordered a takeout as was highly recommended by friends. Sadly order was stone cold, poppadoms tasted of old oil, bhajis however were lovely after being warmed up in the oven, and sadly the curry was the worst curry we've ever had, the chicken was tough as old boots and the sauce bland. Just never again, what a waste of ยฃ30.

    I went with a couple of work colleagues. We have been trying out many different Indian restaurants in the south Manchester area for several years. This time it was the turn of khandoker. The food was spot in. I had lamb Naga and the lamb was meat not fatty at all and the Naga had some decent heat to it, unlike a lot of other places. The onion rice was great, and I could have eaten that on its own. As is usua with these jaunts, we were there early doors on a Wednesday and the restaurant wasn't busy, so difficult to comment on the service, but what we had was good and very friendly. I will certainly go back there again, and one of the colleagues has family in the area and has recommended khandoker to them. Overall a good evening well spent.

  • 1/5 Leon D. 7 months ago on Google
    Ordered and they forgot the rice, waited nearly 2 hours, curry didnโ€™t have any meat in when I asked for a lamb madras, chips was stone cold and tasted reheated, how dumb can you be to get a simple order wrong? There IQ score is 12 and thatโ€™s between them. Nothing but rude down the phone.

    Ate here the other day with my wife and kids. Lovely food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Fiona (Fi B. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been coming to this restaurant for years, back in the day you recommended by word of mouth but now you can write a review online. Tonight we had another gorgeous meal with excellent service, admittedly it was early evening in mid January but having experienced eating in this restaurant during quiet and crazy busy times, the standards never change. Two friendly and professional staff members this evening, Mo being the name of one staff member, unfortunately I didnโ€™t get the name of the other gentleman. Thank you Khandoker, chefs and waiting on staff for always serving excellent food ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

  • 4/5 Tim W. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been one of our go-to indian restaurants since 1998 which shows how good we think the food is. My only gripe this time was that 3 of us nipped in for a quick meal, and a 15% (not obviously itemised or optional) service charge was added on. We thought that really cheeky so asked for it to be removed from the bill.

  • 3/5 Chanda B. 11 months ago on Google
    The ladies toilets had no doors that work and had to be held while in use as they swung back open if not held. The food order took a long time to arrive, granted there were many of us, but it still took a little longer than I have experienced elsewhere with the same group of people. Customer service was good, none of the orders were missed, and servers friendly and polite.

  • 5/5 Steve C. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in a few weeks ago, as we had won a voucher in a local raffle. The food was fantastic, and the staff could not have been more helpful, without being overly attentive. Thanks for a great meal!
