Ethnic food is where Manchester excels, imo.

Indian/Pakistani/Nepalese:

  • Annapurna Curry and Sekuwa House
  • Classic Biryani Kebab and Curry
  • Kathmandu Spice
  • Taj India

Southeast Asian

  • Golden Bowl

Mexican:

  • Consuelos
  • El Rincon Zacatecano
  • Taqueria and Pastelitos

Other Latin American:

  • Antojitos Colombianos
  • Dulce's Bakery

There's also a bunch of other Chinese, Thai, Middle Eastern, and Mexican joints worth your time that I didn't list because I'm too lazy.

Answers like this one are why I keep coming back to reddit.

After you wade through all the lies and anger... there are still small gems comments this one that make it all worth it.

Had Taqueria y Pastelitos today (and easily once a month). Just absolutely awesome street tacos, and the verde is out of this world.

I absolutely adore consuelos tacqueria. Definitely try their tortilla soup. Right by the courthouse, next to the sex shop & tattoo parlor.

I've got a soft spot for it having grown up there. It gets a much worse rep than it deserves imo.

I’ve always enjoyed Muse Thai Bistro

Edit: I should mention I also brought home some Kathmandu Spice tonight.

I came here to mention Antojitos, so I'm glad to see someone else point it out!

The chicken kabobs at Vlassic Biyani is the best dish in Manchester. The rest of their food ranges from meh to very good, but that chicken kabob is on another level. Side note: mimosas are vastly superior to egg rolls.

Golden Bowl unfortunately changed hands very recently so I would tread with caution because I heard the quality went way down. :(

Cafe Momo is an excellent Nepalese restaurant on Hanover Street near Exit 6 off I-93.

This spot is amazing! Don’t get too tough on spice…feel it out. I asked for extremely hot and thought I was gonna die. Food is clean and tasty as hell!

If you’re in Manchester, I’d recommend The Gyro Spot. I’ve ordered their stuff a few times and they’re a good change from more normal American food.

Kathmandu spice (Indian) in Manchester;

Bangkok thai in Londonderry;

El Rincon in Manchester

SygnusSightsSounds t1_iv3kkmf wrote

El Rincon is the only legit Mexican food I’ve had in the state.

MongoIPA t1_iv3r5zo wrote

El rincon is decent. Have you tried Baja taco in Nashua? Closest to socal tacos I have found in the state.

From what I've had, yes, better, but I haven't been to crazy many times. The people at bangkok thai are super friendly, I've been going there roughly monthly for years. My go-to's are the curry puffs (excellent flaky pastry); and either the pineapple fried rice with veggies or the basil fried rice with veggies; and of course the thai iced tea. The chicken satay is great too.

Cafe MoMo is my personal favorite. Located on the outskirts of Manchester this restaurant serves up Nepalese and Bhutanese cuisine. Prior to going I’ve never had either types of food but now can honestly say they are two of my favorite types. Go Check It Out!

Dude, I came here to make this suggestion. Don't let the exterior fool you, we went there for a nicish dinner (not expecting much) and ordered too much food and it was delicious! (The weird Nepalese music videos playing on the TVs that all take place in beautiful fields was a little distracting at first).

heypangolin t1_iv5hfu9 wrote

Yes! I came here to make the same recommendation. Cafe MoMo is fantastic. The food is incredible and the people are very helpful. If you're ever out in Portsmouth, Durbar Square is owned by the same family and is also delicious!

Daw Kun Thai (603) 232-0699 https://maps.app.goo.gl/JYikE48MJwfhjKkS7

Highly recommend the Kang Panang. They used to be over by the airport but now closer to downtown.

argentxmoon t1_iv2rt5n wrote

I second Dai Kun Thai! The food is very good, especially if you like it spicy. Levels 1-5, doubling in spiciness every time according to them.

I can't believe that place is still in business my stepmom at the time would take me there all the time and I freaking loved the place but every time I went we were literally the only customers there. I haven't been there in like 12 years but next time I'm back in NH I'm going to get a table. Literally everything on the menu was fantastic

Yesss omg that’s so funny you say that because I’ve never seen a ton of people there either! But such a hidden gem sooo delish

I was a big fan of Albasha Mediterranean when I lived in Manchester

Albasha is hands down the best hole in the wall in the city. Freshest falafel and most delicious shawarma

There's a delicious Russian Cafe in South Manchester (Sunny Cafe) and a great French Canadian place on the west side (Chez Vachon). Additionally a few good middle eastern fried chicken places downtown

Ninas Bistro in Concord is a good sandwich place, that always has some Serbian specialties.

Smirkly t1_iv2rcaj wrote

A bit outside Manchester but I love Moritomo's in Concord for Sushi etc.

5

NervousJ41 t1_iv5wz36 wrote

For a quicker and more humble sushi, I would recommend Splendid Sushi on Pleasant in Concord. Never crowded because most of their orders are take out for the businesses around. Great spicy tuna rolls and unagi nigiri.

2

Smirkly t1_iv6h6nb wrote

Thanks and I have been there with one of my sons on occasion. It's nice, I don't knock it. Moritomo's is a bit more upscale and I have 4 lunch specials I particularly enjoy. #4 Bento box on the lunch special is a bargain. My son and i do it every Monday, his day off, and I'm never disappointed. The owners, Tom and Charlene, are nice folks.
