Sthan-M1 — Restaurant in Manchester

Sthan has a lot going for it—flavors that transport you to the heart of the subcontinent and a cozy ambiance that makes the dining experience enjoyable. With a few tweaks to the food, drinks, and menu design, it could truly stand out as a top-tier restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful meal, and I look forward to visiting again to see how the menu evolves! The menu itself was well-organized and easy to navigate, but it could benefit from more detailed descriptions for each dish. While some dishes had an explanation, others relied on customers already being familiar with the cuisine. For first-time diners or those not familiar with the region’s dishes, a short description of ingredients, flavors, and spice levels would go a long way in helping them make informed choices. Firstly we had some beers and a vodka with lemonade…Additionally, adding icons to denote spiciness, vegan options, or chef recommendations could improve accessibility.The dishes offered were rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We also ordered Peshawar Naan it’s simply superb…The Chilli garlic Naan too it’s perfectly cooked…The variety was impressive, particularly for someone who enjoys a range of textures and flavors. The maharaja platter which contains if Salmon fish its very rebased even the flavour from it…And Salmon fry its felt like I am in my own home country flavour…And chicken it’s superb desi style flavours…The Lamb Biryanis were a highlight; the spices were well-balanced, and the meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy. The Lamb biryani stood out for its desi flavour which I felt…so melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the Butter paneer was incredibly creamy and purely desi style, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The vegetarian options which we choosen such as the Paneer Butter Masala and Dahi puri, were flavorful, showing that attention to detail is given to all types of dinners.However, I did notice that some dishes were overly oily or rich, which might not appeal to health-conscious customers. For instance, the lamb curry and prawns biryani was delicious but felt excessively heavy. Perhaps offering lighter options or providing healthier preparation choices would enhance the menu’s inclusivity for all types of eaters. Additionally, I’d love to see more innovative dishes or modern takes on traditional recipes to keep things exciting for repeat visitors.Its ambience is quite recommendable to all families and people…In the last before living we have ordered brownie with iced cream it’s...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sthan Restaurant, and I am thrilled to share my delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that set the stage for a memorable evening. The highlight of our culinary adventure was undoubtedly the Masala Dosa and Lamb Biryani, which left us utterly satisfied and craving for more.

The Masala Dosa was a crispy, golden delight filled with a perfectly spiced potato filling. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, and the accompanying chutneys elevated the dish to a whole new level. The Lamb Biryani was a fragrant masterpiece, with tender pieces of lamb cooked to perfection, nestled within aromatic basmati rice and spices. Every spoonful was a burst of flavors, showcasing the chef's expertise in Indian cuisine.

What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable customer service we received, courtesy of Payal. Her attentiveness and knowledge of the menu were commendable. She guided us through the extensive menu, recommending dishes that suited our preferences, and ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was flawless. Her genuine passion for hospitality shone through, making us feel valued and welcomed throughout our meal.

The overall dining experience at Sthan Restaurant was a harmonious blend of exquisite flavors, warm ambiance, and exceptional service. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic and delightful Indian dining experience.

We returned to Sthan after quite some months, with our nephew who was craving Indian food. As we entered, we were told that they would only serve us buffet, which was okay as we had a lovely experience with buffet for when it was introduced. However, this time on it was a let down. Cold, dry and fibrous chicken tikka lacked taste, Dal vada was very dry not how normally the Dal vadas are. The samosa was alright. No tongs to serve the poppadoms. Dal Tadka was so thick that was no longer the Dal consistency. The naans were soft and nice and the gulabjamuns were alright. The highlight was to be the dosa that gets served. Very oily dosa.. for 3 people, we were served all the dosas on the same plate. I had specifically asked for one to be soft and the rest to be usual crispy dosa but they all came out oily and soft. And no chutneys or sambar... I understand it's a buffet but the first serve of chutney sambar should be given IMHO. I went and asked for some and was directed to the buffet counter and help myself... The chutney bowls are so miniscule that they are mostly empty. So I told them about that... Customer service I would expect given I was struggling they would serve the chutney or atleast let me know when they topped up... But felt completely disregarded. Funnily enough... Everyone else who walked in was allowed to order food from the menu which kind of surprised me..

The decor especially the floor seems a bit tired with tapes.

Overall, was a...
