Restaurant in Bury

You'll find a wide range of high quality restaurants in Bury, with cuisines spanning European through to American and Asian. There's a large migrant community from Bangladesh and Pakistan, and this heritage is reflected in the excellent range of curry houses – including Shahbaaz Curry Cottage, which has been a firm favourite with the locals since the mid-Nineties. Look out for unusual house specials such as the begum bahar marinated chicken, with minced beef and a sour, hot sauce. Asia Lounge in the town centre is also highly recommended, and the Palak Chicken Tikka Special is one of the chef's most highly requested dishes.

Lancashire and Greater Manchester both have rich and complex food histories that have led to many local dishes and specialities that can still be found at traditional restaurants in Bury, as well as at cafes and gastropubs. The town may be best known for its black pudding, but Bury simnel cake is also a traditional dish and it's perfect when you want a sweet treat with a hot drink for your elevenses. Look out for plenty of locally-sourced speciality ingredients on the menu too, as many of the eateries here choose to partner with local suppliers for their kitchen in order to understand the provenance and sustainability of each ingredient.
