Saajan Original is a halal Indian and Pakistani restaurant at 129 Wilmslow Road in Manchester. The bright, unpretentious dining room offers a convenient stop along the city’s famous Curry Mile, with long opening hours that make it especially useful for late night meals.
Karahi dishes are a central part of the menu, with chicken or lamb cooked in a richly seasoned sauce. Familiar curry styles range from mild korma to rogan josh, bhuna, jalfrezi and fiery vindaloo, allowing diners to choose both the meat and the level of spice that suits them.
Grilled chicken tikka and seekh kebabs bring smoke and char alongside the saucier dishes, while lamb biryani combines tender meat with aromatic rice in a substantial single plate. Samosas, naan and other sides make it easy to add contrast or build a shared selection.
Mango lassi and other alcohol free drinks balance the spices, with kulfi, ras malai and gulab jamun available for a sweet finish. The venue is popular for takeaway but also has a compact dine in area, giving customers a choice between a quick collection and a casual sit down meal.
