You are propably thinking of one of the 'rice and three' curry cafes. Most likely This and That or Yadger cafe. Both of which are excellent.

The rice and three cafes are unique to Manchester. Simple places, originally set up to feed the India workers in the Manchester mills. Think Karachi but more canteen style and only open during the day.

Have a read here if you are a curry enthusiast:

And maybe a trip to the Westgate.

A beer fest was mentioned.

Great evening lads. The grub was superb and amazingly, given the heat in my kebabs, no after effects…..yet.

Bradford beerfest 2017 was discussed. Definitely an option.

Saltaire beerfest is usually last weekend in February IIRC.

Don't be coming to Saltaire you lot, we have standards you know.
