Qype: Al-Quds in Manchester

Manchester - Restaurants - Take Away - Kebabs

The shop where Abdullah, my favourite Afgan kebab-craftsman came to work after graduating from the Caspian school of excellence. Maz didn't want to give out a part share in the business, such is politics on the 'mile. We didn't come here as much as 'scaps, but only by virtue of it's location. The food is great - you can't beat freshly made dough slapped onto the side of a vertical clay over with tender chunks of marinated lamb and lashings of sauce. You really can't.

Abdullah had come over here from Afganistan after his dad was killed by a soviet landmine in the war. He was a lovely guy, very quiet and unassuming, but disillusioned about serving the hoards of idiot drunken students at 4am, as well you might be after a while. Not sure how we avoided being tarred with that brush, but me and Toucs became friends with him and even exchanged numbers. Last I heard from his brother that he'd gone back home, I hope he's doing ok.
