About eastZeast Riverside - Manchester
Stylish and contemporary Punjabi cooking on the Media City riverside, and the kind of place Manchester returns to for birthdays more than almost anywhere else in the neighbourhood. The lamb chops and the mixed grill are what people order first and talk about longest; the lamb karahi and the poppadoms with their pickle tray keep the table going in between. Zeeshan is the name that comes up again and again — attentive, warm, the sort of front-of-house presence that turns a straightforward dinner into something worth remembering. The room has a polished, glitzy edge that fits the riverside address. Mocktails round out the drinks side for those not on wine.
