 Photograph of the 'Curry Mile' at nighttime The Curry Mile is a nickname for the main high street of Rusholme in Manchester, England, part of the larger Wilmslow Road. The name is earned from the surprisingly large number of Asian restaurants along the road, thought to be the largest concentration outside of the subcontinent itself. Although less than a mile, the road boasts at least 50 restaurants, take-aways and kebab houses at any one time, all with an equally high turnover of ownership.

Uniqueness What makes the Curry Mile different from other collections of Indian restaurants is the sheer concentration of them, back to back the entire length of the road. Equally unique is the way that the 'mile' starts and stops so abruptly, rather than fading in and out. The number of dining establishments means that competition is extremely potent, and this keeps prices low and quality and quantity high. Any restaurant which does not maintain extremely high standards is likely to fail, and the turnover of new establishments replacing old is an almost weekly event. Equally important is service, and most diners can expect to be treated like royalty, often with condiments provided 'on the house'. This generally favours both parties, with diners feeling suitably pampered, and restaurants receiving generous tipping, helping to boost their meagre prices.

Security At night, the neon lights of the many restaurants illuminate the road in a similar way to Las Vegas and the streets are alive and populated well into the early hours of the morning. This level of human presence and lighting also makes the Curry Mile a surprisingly safe venue for a night out, despite it being only 10 minutes' walk from Moss Side and Longsight.

Variety That said, unless Asian food is the subject of a night out, one is likely to find Rusholme in general rather lacking in variety. However over the years there has been an increasing number of Middle Eastern takeaways and restaurants opening up on the famous Curry Mile. These serve the usual donner, shish and seekh kebabs as well as more traditional dishes such as fresh salads and clay oven cooked meat.
Eid Festival Considering the cultural niche in the past there was a surprising lack of Asian diners in Rusholme, the majority being made up of students and white young professionals but over the last few years there has been a considerable increase in Asian families visiting the area for meals. Each year, the Eid festival celebrations transform the Curry Mile into a night-time party, although sadly sometimes a small minority of festival goers have caused trouble and spoiled the colourful atmosphere. In recent years, police presence around the mile during this period has been high, and zero-tolerance has become the strategy used for the disruptive youths. Eid ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الÙطر), often abbreviated as simply Eid, is an Islamic holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. ...
Zero Tolerance is a term used to describe a non-discretionary enforcement policy for the criminal law or informal rules. ...
Other Features Also situated along the mile are a variety of Asian fashion, grocery and music shops, and the flavour of Asian cultural influence permeates most enterprises. The traditional and relaxing pastime of smoking Sheesha, the Middle-Eastern water pipe has seen popularity in the area. Sheesha holds a long and historic tradition in Arabia popular with royalty and public alike. Sheesha is available in many weird and wonderful flavours, from the usual apple and strawberry to coffee, chocolate and Coca Cola flavours. It is usually shared by a group of friends accompanied by mint tea. Man holding a narghile (hookah) A hookah is a traditional Middle Eastern or Asian device for smoking tobacco. ...
