About Us

Contemporary Indian Cuisine

Welcome to Khandoker Restaurant, a cherished culinary gem nestled in the heart of Didsbury, Manchester. For years, we have been dedicated to crafting exceptional Indian cuisine that combines the rich traditions of our culinary heritage with a modern twist. Our passionate team at The Khandoker is committed to delivering a dining experience that surpasses your expectations, both in taste and service.

Our story began in 1937, under the original Bombay Restaurant, thanks to the vision of our founder, the late Nazir Uddin. In the 1960s, you may fondly remember The Manzil Restaurant on Stockport Road, pioneered by Nazir. He played a pivotal role in introducing the flavours of India to the North West of England. Now, nearly 70 years later, our family continues to share the magic of contemporary and authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine with our valued patrons.

Khandoker is more than a restaurant; it’s a legacy. Today, we carry the torch with pride, offering both dining and takeaway options in Didsbury. Our innovative dishes are a modern interpretation of classical recipes, promising a unique culinary experience that pays homage to our rich heritage.

As you step into our dining room, you’ll be welcomed by a modern rustic ambiance. Our low-back mahogany leather chairs and versatile tables create an inviting space, perfect for intimate dinners or group gatherings. We believe in letting the colours and flavours of our dishes take centre stage. It’s worth noting that every dish we serve is halal, and we offer a range of vegetarian and vegan options to cater to every palate.

Embark on your culinary journey with tantalizing starters like uniquely filled fish samosas, prawn puri, butterfly king prawns, or chili paneer tikka. Our main courses feature a delightful blend of Khandoker family recipes, some passed down through generations for over two centuries, and contemporary creations. Indulge in classic favourites like diced chicken marinated in Tandoor sauce for 12 hours or savour our hearty chicken and lamb biryanis.

For those with a penchant for traditional curries, we have a delectable selection, complemented by an array of bread and sundries like naans, paratha, and chapati. Our dedicated vegan section offers delights such as saag aloo and tarka dal, ensuring a satisfying experience for our plant-based diners. If you’re seeking guidance, consider choosing from our chef’s recommendations, including the mouth-watering Mishti Kodu, a Bengali vegetable dish paired with your choice of chicken, lamb, or prawns.

To accompany your meal, we offer an array of beverages, including beers, wines, and Champagnes. Conclude your dining experience with a selection of tea and coffee, ensuring a delightful end to your culinary journey.

At Khandoker Restaurant, we are committed to creating memorable moments through exceptional food and warm hospitality. Join us, and let our flavours transport you to the heart of India and Bangladesh, right here in Didsbury, Manchester.
