I scraped off my samosas and managed to salvage them. The samosas were quite nice apart from the edges of the pastry that were almost too tough to chew. I had mixed seekh and chicken tikka kebab on naan. The seekh was very dry and over cooked. The chicken was nice though. I avoided the chilli sauce having had it on my samosas. The kebab was served on a plastic naan tray, with no plate, so as I ate it the sauces dripped straight through on to the table which was pretty inconvenient. Years ago this was my go-to kebab stop in Rusholme. I'll try somewhere else next time.

I ordered the Camel platter, which was decent, and two Aryans from the menu priced at £1 each. However, when it came time to pay, we were informed that we had actually been served a £3.50 mango lassi, which tasted like supermarket milk in a plastic cup. Despite reminding the waiter that we had ordered Aryans, he rudely insisted we pay. Exhausted from fasting during Ramadan and a long 5-hour journey, I didn't have the energy to argue. Furthermore, the kitchen in the back looked like something out of a WW2 field hospital.

I really like the grilled food option here. Seriously can anyone name a better place for Sheek Kebab on Naan on the Curry Mile in Rusholme other than Camel One? read more I really like the grilled food option here.
