OUR STORY

We offer traditional authentic South Indian recipes in a warm and welcoming friendly atmosphere.  We take pride in every aspect of your visit from food to service and hope you will enjoy your time with us in our family-run restaurant. Many of our dishes are unique to us and passed through generations to bring you something a little different here in Chorlton just outside of Manchester

“Out of humble beginnings, some of the best things are born – and so it is with Amma’s Canteen.”

“It’s a homely, heartening dish – exactly what Saju wants to give people at Amma’s Canteen.

“When I was looking at opening somewhere I wanted to eat, I found in the UK there’s not much Indian home food,” Saju says.


“This is just like the menu inside our house. If somebody comes to my house it’s what I like to cook for them.”


His friends must be knocking his door down for dishes like this; short of an invitation round, the rest of us will have to content ourselves with Amma’s.


Emily Heward – Manchester Evening News

“Everyone’s talking about Amma’s, and with good reason ”

“Yet Amma’s is a joy.

I like everything about Amma’s, actually. The contrast between location and food, the sun-kissed flavours of every dish, the way Saju comes out and chats to everyone about their meal, quizzing them about what they like, what they’d change, is great.


Plus Saju’s wife Ganga is doing a great job front of house. . “


Ruth Allan – Manchester Confidential

“ DOES AMMA’S CANTEEN IN CHORLTON DO THE BEST DOSA IN TOWN? ”

“DEFINITELY. On a first visit to the South India restaurant opposite Southern Cemetery we  chickened out of their signature version filled with spinach and red kidney beans because I have an aversion to the latter.

A colleague calls it ‘inspired’.


I found inspiration of my own in the standard Masala Dosa with its ample filling of crushed potatoes and cashew nuts inside the vast, lacy, crisp rice and gram batter crepe.
