Parosna by Ale & Aloo

10/09/2026

Apparently, you can take Xav home now 👀

For catering.

Your place or ours: send us your date, guest numbers, location and budget and we’ll sort the rest.

Private events, weddings, birthdays, work parties or just a very good excuse to get everyone together.

We’re jumping on the burger trend, but doing it the Parosna way.
Spiced beef, jaggery onions, house desi pickled cucumber, tamarind, burnt red chilli and cheese, cut in half and finished in butter chicken sauce.

Available Bank Holiday weekend only.
12–6pm.

Still find it a bit mad that out of all the places you could go, you choose us.

And then you come back. And bring your friends. And celebrate things with us.

Never ever taken for granted 🤍

Before this holiday, we'd gone more than six months without a proper day off.

We thought leaving for a week would mean spending every day putting out fires from 2,000 miles away.

Instead, our team sent us photos of cheesecakes they were proud of, messages asking for more money on the card, updates about gloves, successful transactions, dogs that came to visit and even an apron someone had "accidentally" adopted.

Somewhere between laughing at the messages and replying from a sunbed, we realised something.

They weren't messaging because they couldn't cope.

They were messaging because they wanted to share their little wins with us.

For two people who built this place from scratch, that's probably one of the nicest feelings we've had since opening.

(We're still not convinced the dog updates were business critical. 😂)

THE ABSOLUTE BEST INDIAN INSPIRED W**E BAR AND RESTAURANT IN MANCHESTER🍷🍷

If you're bored of the same restaurants...

Save this one.
Hidden behind a green door in Didsbury is a cosy w**e bar serving Indian-inspired sharing plates, cocktails and seriously good w**e.
Come hungry. Leave planning your next visit.

People have been asking us one question since we opened:

„When is Parosna style brunch coming?”

Well, three months in, it’s finally here.

Inspired by Bengaluru, where Xav grew up, his mum’s cooking, and one of India’s most multicultural cities, this menu brings together some of the flavours that shaped the way he thinks about food today.

The easy option would have been another avocado toast or another eggs Benedict.

Instead, we’ve taken some of those influences and reimagined them the Parosna way.

Beef Pepper Fry Flatbreads. Egg Roast Flatbreads. Uttapam Potatoes. Saffron & Coconut French Toast.

It’s not traditional Indian food.

It’s not a typical Manchester brunch either.

It’s somewhere in the middle.

And that’s exactly where we wanted it to be.

Available from this weekend at Parosna. 

Let us know your thoughts.

Hospitality is a very strange industry.

One day you’re praying people come in.
The next you’re running on 3 hours sleep wondering how the hell you’re going to survive the week operationally.

As we’re slowly touching 3 months of Parosna, we genuinely couldn’t be more grateful for the lovely crowd that keeps showing up for us, especially through weekends like this one.

This weekend honestly pushed us to our limits a bit, but it also reminded us how special this little community already feels.

Thank you for sticking around through the chaos, the experiments, the mistakes, the sell outs and the constant rebuilding behind the scenes
