Akbar's

By Mahfuz

It has a amazing quality food for the price and the lamb chops are out of the world. Well in Manchester. Price can get a little high but totally worth it due to its quality. I'd also recommend there dessert sticky toffee pudding which is also really nice. With the main it depends on how hot or mild you like it so I'd recommend asking the staff

COW vintage second hand clothing store

COW

It's a great shop in 2 floors offering a big selection both men and women's vintage and second hand clothes and accessories. And with very affordable prices! Definitely the place to check out if you are looking for something new for the evening, or just want to get something cool and trendy that the high street won't offer.
