About KAANA

Authentic Indian Thali and South Asian Food in Manchester
At KAANA South Asian Canteen, we serve traditional Indian thali and South Asian food that brings the rich culinary heritage of the subcontinent to Manchester. In Urdu, "kaana" means "to eat," but it represents something deeper: the joy of sharing authentic Indian cuisine with family and friends. Our rice and three curry combinations change daily, featuring carefully crafted South Asian dishes from tender meat curries to vibrant vegetarian options. Each Indian thali and rice and three plate showcases the diversity of South Asian food, from fragrant naans and aromatic rice to slow-cooked masalas brimming with traditional spices. Whether you're dining in or collecting a takeaway, our rotating menu of authentic Indian cuisine and South Asian food ensures there's always something new to discover.
