About Wah Ji Wah

Tucked into the city centre, this is a warm, slightly dark and fancy-feeling room that suits an early dinner with children better than a busy Saturday night — it's a small space, so a pram will fit but you'll want to arrive off-peak. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, buggy access is straightforward, and vegan options are on the menu alongside plenty for meat eaters. The cooking is the draw: soft, buttery naan, lamb biryani, Goan fish curry, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, and a mixed grill platter of lamb, salmon and chicken that regulars describe as "incredibly succulent". Prices feel fair for central Manchester. Two honest snags — portions can run small, and when they're short-staffed mains have taken 45 minutes, which is a long wait with a hungry toddler.
