THE CURRY MILE.




The Curry Mile is a nickname for the part of Wilmslow Road running through Rusholme in Manchester, England. The name is earned from the large number of South Asian restaurants along the road, thought to be the largest concentration outside of the Indian subcontinent. Although less than a mile the road boasts at least seventy restaurants, take-aways and kebab.


The area is regularly visited by local students, because of its location near to the city universities.

Each year, the Eid festival celebrations transform the Curry Mile into a night-time party, although sometimes a minority goers have caused trouble and spoiled the colourful atmosphere. In recent years, thanks to police presence, and the controls have reduced accidents, or negative behaviors of youth.


On the street you can find a variety of Asian shops, supermarkets, music stores, many oriental restaurants.
Over the Curry Mile also are several traditional pubs.
