Rusholme

This is
the Sangam, the first restaurant in Rusholme. It has a
little bar next door for a pre-curry drink if you need to
anaesthetise your tastebuds before food. The food is good
with a lot of choice and it's a big place so you should
find a seat. It's the start of the curry mile and with 50 restaurants after your trade prices are always good. What is more five seats at the Sangam have borne the arses of top popster Take That. |

| I don't know if any famous showbiz types have visited the Sunflower. If they do I'd strongly recommend any selection from soft fried noodles, chips, curry sauce, egg fried rice and mushroom curry. |  |
