Halal Reviews for Chapati Cafe (Media City)

Excellent little find. Very authentic Indian cuisine. The lamb was really nice. Not as spicy as I’d usually have but I could have asked for more chilli. Was a little bit unsure about the menu as I’ve not ordered and the sound of 3 curries plus rice seemed a lot but just went for the single portion which meant I didn’t get to sample as many but was plenty of food.

During my recent work trip to Manchester, I had the pleasure of dining at Chappati Cafe, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. One of the standout features of this charming eatery is its incredibly fast service. Despite the bustling environment, the staff managed to serve meals promptly without compromising on quality. The taste of the food is nothing short of exceptional. I opted for the veg meal pots on both occasions, and each time, the flavors were authentic and satisfying. The portions, served in small pots, were just right for one person, making it a convenient and hearty meal. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and there was a comforting, home-cooked essence to every bite, which is often hard to find in many restaurants. Special mention must be made of the sides, which were served fresh, fried, and sizzling hot. The crispiness and warmth of these sides added a delightful contrast to the main dishes and enhanced the overall dining experience. Affordability is another major plus for Chappati Cafe. The meals offer excellent value for money, making it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy delicious, authentic cuisine without breaking the bank. The only suggestion I have would be to introduce a variety of curries for the veg meal each day of the week. I happened to visit on consecutive days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and noticed the same curry was served both times. A rotating selection would add even more excitement and variety for returning customers. Overall, my experience at Chappati Cafe was fantastic, and I look forward to visiting again on my next trip to Manchester. The combination of fast service, great taste, and affordability, coupled with the fresh, home-cooked feel of the meals, makes it a standout dining destination.

Great food, had a veg curry - chickpeas with tamarind. And veg samosas with Mango chutney. Food was made in a reasonable time and was piping hot and burning my mouth. 🤤 Service is good too. Tables need a bit of a clean ... Otherwise 5 stars

A good little spot in the heart of media city. Good selection of daily cooked curries and appetisers. I got the 3 curry's and a rice pot for £7.50 The curry's I got were chicken jalfrezi lamb keema tarka daal with sauces chillies. It was pretty good Tasted fresh and not to spicy at all. Prices are competitive compared to other places. Daily specials are also available

Little hidden gem with a simple mix & match curry menu that can be enjoyed at the table or as a takeaway. We loved the spicy chai that pairs up beautifully with the hot veg and meat curries (we think they make them hotter up north anyway :). One to remember for next time we visit.
