About the restaurant
Indian Affair showcases North Indian cuisine cooked Dilli-style. It’s inspired by the city’s diverse flavours and home-style cooking. Whilst the dishes on our menu can be found across North India, the way of cooking is specifically from the Delhi region which makes it truly unique.

The carefully curated menu aims to reflect the traditional and modern sides of Delhi and presents some of our most loved dishes.

For us Dilli is an emotion and is perfectly summed up by the famous saying “Dilli dil waalon ki,” Delhi belongs to the big-hearted!

Absolutely deadly spot for a bit of food, the staff there were lovely and extremely respectful, I got 25% off my food as it’s the month of January so that was extremely nice. Definitely a fantastic pick if you are staying in Manchester. 10/10
