Many of us who are fans of desi food now know what to expect when we go to a typical Indian restaurant. Often many of the dishes will have a similar taste, as they use the same curry base or 'thurka' as it's natively known.
However, one eatery in Salford is proud of its authentic roots and the fact that it incorporates the original flavours of Punjabi cuisines across its menu.
