A big thanks to Aahaa team for the real authentic Indian food. The flavours were really rich and delicious. The fish and prawn starter dishes were so fresh, well-cooked and were full of flavours. Biryani was nice, filling and aromatic with well- balanced spices. The coconut ice cream was creamy, had small grated coconut making it fell rich& authentic and was served in the coconut shell. Overall I had a good dining experience and would definitely recommend this place.

We had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant. We visited for a special celebration and were not disappointed. Service was brilliant, food tasty and ambience relaxing. The lady who took care of us during our time in the restaurant was so lovely and made our day extra special.
We eat at a lot of South Indian restaurants across UK and beyond – this one is brilliant for sure! Thank you so much.

Amazing experience! The food was authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — especially the butter chicken and biryani. The naan was fresh and delicious. What truly sets this place apart is the owner, who is incredibly welcoming and genuinely cares about every guest’s experience. You can feel the passion and dedication in both the food and the service. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

This review was written when Aahaa was in a “soft launch” ahead of their proper opening in the final weekend of October, and were finalising the menu and fine tuning their meals. The food and service at this soft launch suggests they’ll be a fantastic addition to Chorlton’s restaurant scene! The food was full of flavour, aromatic (one of the selling points of the place) and the service friendly and generous. Overall a really promising start and fingers crossed Aahaa are able to make a success of their opening and become a fixture in Chorlton!
As mentioned above, we visited when Aahaa was finalising their menu ahead of opening, and had the samosa chaat and tandoori fish starters, then prawn moille and chicken hyderabadi biryani, with Peshawari naan and chilli and garlic naan. Each dish was packed full of flavour and, for us, the right level of spice. Our particular favourite was the tandoori fish (pictured), and entire fish cooked with tandoori spices and with flesh that just came right off the bone. As and when we return, we will definitely order again!
The hyderabadi biryani was another big highlight, both very tasty and also very fragrant. Our server mentioned they’ve been trialling a number of different recipes and methods to get this dish just right ahead of opening, and on this evidence it was time well spent!
Service was also friendly, and the soft launch should also mean they open with any issues ironed out as well. It’s hard to judge the atmosphere but, when opened and full, I’m sure I’ll be a great place to enjoy a meal.
The prices quoted on the menu also seemed extremely reasonable, and so would be good value for money too.
Overall, well worth the visit, for the tandoori fish and hyderabadi biryani alone, and I hope the official opening for Aahaa all goes well!

Visited recently with a group of five and we had an absolutely fantastic feast. The food here has a truly authentic Indian flavor that is hard to find.
We ordered a mix of everything. For non-veg, we tried the Nalli Biryani, Potlam Biryani, Lamb Chops, and Chicken Majestic. For the vegetarians, we had Lotus Stem, Paneer Tikka, and the Karivepaku Rice with Gutti Vankaya. Every single dish was delicious.
A special shout-out to the staff, who were incredibly friendly and gave us excellent recommendations on what to order. We will definitely be returning soon for more!

Okay, I’ll start with a disclaimer. I visited Aahaa on a free taster evening as part of their opening. So note that prices and dishes are subject to change as they fine tune their menu.
Unexpectedly, they had the full menu on offer, so we ordered a handful of dishes we fancied. In short, the food was very, very good – definitely the best curry I’ve had in Chorlton.
We started with chicken majestic (£8.99) and vada (£6.99). The chicken was tender and perfectly spiced, with a nice heat that built as we scoffed them down. The vada was more subtle in flavour, but incredibly fresh and fluffy – my other half doesn’t usually like them, but these were great. Served with a nicely balanced sambar.
Mains were the Aahaa chicken (£12.99) and lamb rogan josh (£13.49), served with a roti (£2.49) and karivepaku rice (£5.99). The chicken was outstanding, so flavoursome, with super-tender pieces of thigh and a load of cashews. The lamb was a little salty, but incredibly flavoursome – a long way from all the “curry by numbers” rogan joshes I’ve had over the years.
The roti was a good size, while the rice (whose name means curry leaves) was flavoursome enough to eat on its own…but definitely better with curry!
As a bonus dish, we got a portion of their speciality, the Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani (£11.99). I’m very glad we did, as it was delicious. It had that subtle depth of flavour that proper biryanis do, with chicken that fell off the bone.
The staff were friendly and helpful but perhaps a little under-confident. The owner/manager stopped by for a nice chat too.
My fiancée calls me a curry curmudgeon, so I don’t give Indian restaurants a 5* review lightly, but Aahaa thoroughly deserves it. We’ll definitely be heading back soon – having this place a 10-minute walk from my front door is dangerous!

Before anything else, the staff here are the most welcoming, polite and heart warming people I’ve ever come across. Super attentive, wanting to chat, made the evening very memorable. As for the food, everything from the starter to the mains was absolutely delicious. The lamb rogan josh was exquisite, a slight taste of cinnamon was a beautiful surprise. To top it off I had the prawns which probably was the best dish I’ve ever tried in my life. The perfect mix of sweet, spice and garlic. I couldn’t recommend this place more. 🙂

Amazing and authentic Indian food , I had the Ahaa chef’s chicken curry 3 chilli ️ rating and it was superb as was my partner’s fish curry and the accompanying Peshwari naan and jeera rice. Get down there!

I had a fantastic dining experience. I ordered the ghee roast lamb and the Nalli Gosht biryani, and both dishes were outstanding, rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and truly authentic. The highlight for me was the haleem. It was absolutely perfect, comforting, and full of taste. It was the best way to end my weekend.
The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A big thank you to the entire team for the delicious food and wonderful hospitality.
Highly recommended, this is a must-visit place for anyone who loves great food!
