Manchester's African and Caribbean food scene doesn't get the coverage it deserves. From Chorlton's legendary jerk spots to Eritrean restaurants where the food comes in waves until you physically can't continue, this is a city with a rich diaspora food culture that rewards proper exploration.

Most of these are Black-owned. All of them are the kind of places locals already know about and visitors keep missing.
