Rusholme is famous for the Curry Mile — Wilmslow Road's strip of South Asian restaurants, shisha bars and takeaways. It's the heart of Manchester's student belt, with the University of Manchester and MMU campuses within walking distance. Cheap, diverse, lively and one of Manchester's most recognisable neighbourhoods.
