Delish & Great Value! - Edit
Went into Little Alladin on a Saturday afternoon and was spoilt by choice by the menu. It's a small venue but we managed to find a nice spot by the windows.
Read moreI had the aubergine wrap and it was incredible! My partner had the "Chicken" burger and fries, and unfortunately they weren't as good as we had hoped, a bit bland.
So I can highly reccomend the Aubergine wrap, it's a must try! And the owner is very friendly!
Pros: Aubergine wrap, Friendly staff, Affordable
Cons: Burger & fries a bit bland

Scrumptious! - Edit
This is a little gem of a place in a good central location serving honest, hearty food that won't break the bank. On a recent visit, I had the rice and three curries and my partner had the aubergine wrap. We also ordered a portion of onion bhajis between us. Everything was delicious - well seasoned and with the right balance of spices. We both left feeling exceedingly well fed for a fraction of what a meal of a similar size/volume might have cost at other vegan eateries. If you want a 'dining experience', then look elsewhere but if you simply want good food in generous portions then Little Aladdin is for you. The owner's a nice bloke, too, when you get chatting to him. Big thumbs up.

Great wrap - Edit
I wanted to try something that wasn't a big chain store off the beaten track, and this was definitely it , so close to Arndale shopping centre, it was pretty quiet at half one on a Monday afternoon. I sat in and the guy suggested what was best. I had the vegan chicken doner wrap and it was amazing, it was juicy and tasty. I asked for half to be wrapped for me cause it was so stuffed. Definitely get your money's worth and absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.

Wholesome and affordable - Edit
Most places in the last year have doubled or tripled their prices, which is rubbish considering how no household income has doubled or tripled. So all hail Little Aladdin! It's only went up by 15% or so per item, at most. It's wholesome, affordable tasty (if a bit under seasoned perhaps to cater to an average white British expectation) and the fella running the place was pleasant. I look forward to returning 100%. 'rice and three' is a Manchester staple and I doubt anywhere guarantees assured vegan options the way this place does.

Good food in a hurry - Edit
There are a selection of curries to choose from, bhajis, samosas, naan bread, falafel, hummus. I had a tofu wrap with mango sauce and salad. The tofu was deep fried - soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, delicious. Highly recommended for a quick bite to eat.

What A Gem - Edit
We discovered this place by chance a couple of years ago and were both made up that it's still going strong. Located a stones throw from The Arndale, Little Aladdin serves up a completely vegan selection of kebabs, wraps and curries, all at very reasonable prices. We went for a Seehk Kebab and a Beef Doner, with a small bowl of chips each and a coffee. 22 quid, and there was as much garlic mayo, chili dip etc as you wanted. Dunno if the "meat" is homemade or not, but it was delicious. The doner was quite spicy, full of salad and bursting with flavour, the Seehk was a little more relaxed, but equally tasty and 2 quid cheaper. Having tried several vegan kebab chains, this great little place gives them all a run for their money and requires less of yours. Going back tomorrow for the Korma and pashwari nan. Lush. Definitely should be in the top ten vegan places in town.

Quick, Tasty and Reasonability Priced - Edit
My second visit to Little Aladdin, my first since they have gone fully vegan, and I wasn’t disappointed. Though my first choice of curry wasn’t available, the chana masala that I did have was great, as were the bhajis and fritters that I had as sides. The vegan beef doner was also excellent, the only slight let down was the garlic naan, more a garlic bread, but it was satisfying nonetheless.

Stumbled in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Had the 3 curry and rice for £7.50, 2 bhajis and a plain naan.
Read moreService was great, super friendly and explained what was on offer.
Chanla masala, Bombay potato, vegetable curry. Good portion size for the price, could just do with a little more flavour.
Bhajis were great, though a small piece of uncooked batter wasn't very nice! Gave us some mango chutney as well which was lovely!
Naan was good size.

Great Value, Tasty Vegan Food - Edit
This place offers so many options. From curries, wraps, burgers and kebabs to vegan cheese naans, breaded mushrooms and salads and dips. Really nice, friendly staff. Several tables if you want to eat there. Compared to most vegan/vegetarian establishments (especially in Manchester), the value for money is also brilliant. Oh and the chips are great too.
