The BBS team have recently discovered a gem of a restaurant nuzzled in the streets of Ramsbottom. The first authentic South Indian restaurant outside of London, the restaurant presents amazing food that could literally transport you to the streets of India. Run by a local family, the parents are Doctors by day and at night they open the doors of Sanmini’s to the North West. The family will be there to welcome you most nights and provide valuable insight into the culinary specialties of the area.
The food is not what you would expect from a typical Indian and is likely be a pleasant surprise even for those cautious around the cuisine. The food is light, highly flavoured and the spice can be adapted to suit all tastes. As an introduction, at lunchtimes rather than the usual menu a ‘thaali’ (tasting plate) is the offering and a vegetarian or meat option is provided. Examples of dishes you can expect are medhu vadai (deep fried blackgram doughnut cakes) and masala dosai (a flat pancake filled with spiced potato). You can find the full menu here: http://bit.ly/d5D19g.
And you don’t just have to take BBS’s word for it, Sanmini’s was nominated for ‘Best Newcomer’ in the Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2009!
