Al Taiba Bukhari

Al Taiba Bukhari is an independent Afghan restaurant on Wilmslow Road in Rusholme, Manchester, at the start of the Curry Mile. It specialises in Bukhari-style rice dishes, grilled chicken and kebabs, served in generous portions from late morning until after midnight. If you are looking for an Afghan restaurant in Manchester for a hearty, no-fuss meal, it is well worth a visit.

Rice is the centrepiece of the menu. The Afghani Pulav is the dish people talk about most, with tender meat hidden beneath a mound of fragrant rice, in the traditional way. Rice also comes with half a grilled chicken, which makes a filling plate for one or a good base for sharing.

From the grill, the Kufta Kebab and Chicken Kebab are straightforward and well seasoned, and Dujaj al fahm, charcoal-style grilled chicken, is another favourite. Together they give a clear taste of Afghan and wider Middle Eastern cooking, where simple grilling and slow-cooked rice do most of the work. The food suits people who want big flavours without heavy sauces.

It is a good alternative to the curry houses along Wilmslow Road and a useful choice if you are eating with a group that enjoys sharing platters of rice and grilled meat. Al Taiba Bukhari works for casual dinners, late meals after an evening out and family food at the weekend. The relaxed setting and long hours mean it fits around students, shift workers and anyone looking for a proper meal late at night.

You can eat in, order takeaway or get delivery, so it works just as well for a night in. For orders and questions, call 0161 222 7690. You will find Al Taiba Bukhari at 21 Wilmslow Road, Manchester M14 5TB, at the Rusholme end of the Curry Mile, a short bus ride from the city centre, Fallowfield and the university area.

Al Taiba Bukhari is open every day from 11am. It closes at 12.30am from Sunday to Thursday and at 1am on Friday and Saturday, making it one of the later places to eat on this stretch of Wilmslow Road.
