SANGAM MANCHESTER

You'll find Sangam doing something refreshing on Portland Street – serving Indian food that doesn't pander or apologise for itself. The dining room feels grown-up without being stuffy, all clean lines and warm lighting that lets the food do the talking. The kitchen strikes that tricky balance between honouring traditional techniques and presenting dishes with modern flair. What sets this place apart is the attention to spice layering and the quality of ingredients. The curries have proper depth, the tandoor work is spot-on, and they're not afraid to let heat build properly. It's the kind of place that works whether you're impressing clients or settling in for a proper dinner with friends who actually care about good food.
