Yadgar Cafe

Beyond City and United, loyalty between Yagdar and This & That is one of Manchester’s stickier points. Fortunately, both are very good indeed, and unlike their sporting counterparts, fiercely local. Yadgar’s doesn’t deviate much from the tried-and-tested formula, and that's a good thing. The food is fresh, tasty and far from trendy, and there’s free tap water available if needs be. The kofta served are particularly notable, and it’s worth starving yourself into a foul mood to make room for a chapati alongside your rice and three.
