Taftan Tandoori

Taftan Tandoori on Chorlton Road has built a devoted following over many years for its coal-oven cooking — the masala Lahori fish, heated in the coal tandoor rather than deep-fried, draws consistent five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, with customers coming specifically for this dish. The fresh-baked tandoori naan is equally praised, described as "not soggy like most takeaway nans." The menu also covers paya, nihari, biryani, Indian specials, and kebab and pizza options. With a Sluurpy score of 77 from over 2,600 reviews across platforms, Taftan remains one of the more distinctive Pakistani-cooking stops in south-west Manchester.
