4 of us went to Amma’s Canteen for the first time on Friday evening and we all really enjoyed the food. The vegan tofu and the ocra curry were particularly nice.
I’m pretty sure we’ll be going again O)
Had a quiet Sunday lunch at Amma’s Canteen and we were delighted with the food! Chicken 65 was excellent and a highlight for me personally.
Chicken Thoran dosa was fairly good. The chutneys and sambar that accompanied it were excellent.
The meat in the Kerala Beef Curry was cooked to perfection. The curry itself, although very tasty, had some room for improvement to add that extra oomph and some more depth of flavour that one would expect in an authentic Nadan Beef Curry. Parotta and Beef is a classic combination, and I absolutely loved the Malabar parotta here, it was served hot and was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside!
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good South Indian cuisine experience in Manchester.
Great food . Really really tasty. With an interesting menu. Attentive and friendly service.
Down to earth and cosy but not run of the mill.
People seem to give 4 stars hence overall rating lower than it should be but have no criticism. 🤷♀️
Finally, I got the perfect chicken 65 (like India) in Manchester. The staff is quite friendly and the food was just amazing. The chicken 65 and beef sukha is highly recommended to anyone visiting for the Time.

I have ordered food from them a few times and was never disappointed. Today I visited them for the first time. A nicely decorated little restaurant with a wonderful service! Really liked the atmosphere. The food was quite good as usual and highly recommended! It's a shame that they dont serve Indian coffee/tea. Suggest the management to try and include that in the menu in the future!!
Truly amazing Lamb biryani, was sublime. The selection of street cart dishes we ordered were good. The staff were very welcoming and on the ball with the Covid measures, we felt well looked after and safe eating in.
The only reason I can't give a 5 star is the value for money, the portion sizes are small with a high price point for the size.
I don't doubt we will be back, but not as often as if the price was that little bit more reasonable.
Lovely, good quality food. Excellent, friendly service. We have eaten in and taken out and would recommend both options. Amma's Canteen has real character. The owners appear to really care about the food, which is based on the home cooked food eaten in Southern India and this is obvious when you taste it. Highly recommended.
A real South Indian (Tamil) restaurant, sambar vada, potato wedges with gun powder 😋 and masala dosa is a must try. Porotta is nice as well, madras mussels with peanut twist 🤩, chicken 65 and lamb biriyani 😋 overall food is awesome and they make it specially for our taste buds.
The owners are so friendly and so welcoming.
Will try again😋.
Solid, authentic South Indian food. We had the Dosa, Chicken 65 and Allephey Fish Curry. The fish was slightly too fishy for me but that might be a personal preference.
Superb food and the best waitress we’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. Attentive, enthusiastic and knew the menu inside out. This was a return visit for a birthday, a wonderful night had by all. Highly recommended.
Tasty South Indian food - highly recommend the Madras mussels, deep-fried okra, beef sukka and the masala dosa! The owners are a friendly couple and put so much care and effort into every dish. Highly recommend a visit!
We had an excellent meal coupled with exceptional service 👌. Well worth a try .
My daughter's Dosa was absolutely superb 👌
A lovely south Indian restaurant, lots of choice on the menu that included meals not typically found at other Indian restaurants. Food arrived promptly and service was great. Rice was perfectly cooked and the dosa well made.

Amazing hospitality paired with delicious food that made everyone smile. A must try for all😁.
Absolutely brilliant place. Found this gem totally by accident and since then been a fair few times and taken may friends and family as well. Probably the best South Indian food I've had in the UK with the taste being absolutely spot on authentic. The staff are super lovely and friendly and the owners are always warm and welcoming. Look forward to many more trips there.!
Food is very authentic close to Kerala.. Quick service and friend staff...
Great food and excellent and friendly service. It really is a hidden inconspicuous gem in Manchester, it's fairly pricy though. I think the front face of it could be more aesthetically appealing though.
