-
- Topkapi, Peter Street
- - Turkish cafe and restaurant (next door to each other) offering a

- lactos. Mezeler include, stuffed cabbage, humus, falafel, barbunya,
- fasouleh, salads, and several cheese and yoghurt dishes. Great place
- for lunches.
-
- Kai's, in Chinatown
- - To all intents and purposes this is a standard Chinese restaurant
- open until 4am. But it also has a special Buddhist vegetarian menu.
- The dishes read: sweet and sour pork, chicken with cashew nuts,
- roast duck... around 20 in all with about half being non-'meaty'
- eg abalone mushrooms, pot of prosperity. The dishes are designed to
- mimic the textures of meat using tofu, gluten and taro, I love them
- but some people still feel a bit squeamish ordering such dishes.
- Be prepared to queue if you arrive just after pub closing time or
- just after club kickout.
-
- There are now a number of restaurants in Chinatown offering this
- type of food but, beware, I have been served real sweet and sour
- spare-ribs instead of the mock dish in one such place.
-
- Chuni's Indian Cottage, Rusholme
- - This is probably the finest Indian restaurant in Manchester,
- the owners are Hindu Indians, and, although they do pander to the
- meat-eaters, they have one of the most extensive and inventive
- vegetarian menus around, but they do include a lot of cream and
- cheese. Great surroundings, great service, great food.
-
- There are dozens of 'Indian' resaurants in Rusholme, indeed the
- council are promoting it as 'the curry mile'. Just about every place
- will offer a wide selection of vegetarian food (it's near the
- University) although the quality varies enormously, though the prices
- don't --- a cartel seems to operate.
