Sanskruti Restaurant

An absolute treat for vegetarians and vegans in Manchester's suburb of Ladybarn, Sanskruti deals solely in meat-free food that delights and surprises in equal measure.

An unassuming restaurant on the high street, Sanskruti reserves its innate beauty to those who walk through its front doors. Elegant and smart without being exclusive and unattainable, Sanskruti ensures that everyone can enjoy the finer things in life in its refined dining room. Here, earthy, red and orange tones combine to create a rich tapestry of textures and prints, that really come alive in the evening.

When it comes to vegetarian and vegan food, the Indian cuisine excels. We start at the street stalls that line every Indian city's streets and dish out pani puri, papdi chat and soya tikka to hungry passers-by. These delicious snacks work wonderfully well with a side of chilli paneer, samosas and pakoras if you really want to push the boat out for starters.

The mains cover South Indian, Punjabi, Gujarati and Rajasthani specialties. From the south comes the inimitable dosa filled with masala mushrooms, vegetables and fritters. Then straight up north we go for creamy kormas, aromatic koftas, fragrant masalas and heavenly curries made from paneer. And if that simply isn't spicy enough for you, the Rajasthani cuisine has that heat factor that spice-lovers can't get enough of.
