Indique is the cherished creation of a passionate Indian couple, on a mission to rekindle the authentic essence of Indian cuisine in the heart of Manchester. Over the past few decades, the realm of Indian cuisine in the UK has remained largely unchanged. 'Indique' emerges as a bold endeavour to redefine the Indian culinary landscape and introduce the distinctive flavours that are found on the bustling streets of India. For those with a discerning palate, Indique is well worth a visit. Found within the charming suburb of West Didsbury, Indique is a welcoming and refreshing change from the conventional high street Indian restaurants.
Begin your dining experience at Indique with some Indian street food. Why not order the rushed crispy pastry, seasoned potatoes and puffed rice coated in tamarind and mint coriander chutney, juliennes of onion, lentils and spinach flavoured with roasted cumin and coriander seeds, served with tamarind sauce, or cubes of paneer cooked with mix bell peppers, green chilli and soya sauce.
Following up, perhaps you'll try out the restaurant's signature curry dishes. Choose from a ratan manjosa made with spinach and paneer dumplings in a light tangy tomato, cashew nut and fenugreek flavoured creamy sauce, lau mussallam - a dish of Indian marrow (Lauki) stuffed with potato, cashew nuts and cottage cheese, served with smooth sauce of caramelised onion, yoghurt, tomato and cashew nuts or a South Indian style preparation of pan fried sea bass served with a small portion of masala mashed potato, and a creamy sauce of coconut milk tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves.
Many of us may skip dessert when at an Indian restaurant because of how filling the curry is, but don't do that at Indique. Why not try the homemade tri-colour kulfi (an Indian style ice cream) with a layer of mango, cardamom, and pistachio flavour. A must-have dessert after an Indian meal.
