The Curry Mile is a 2006[1] novel written by Manchester-based British Pakistani novelist, Zahid Hussain.
The book is set on Wilmslow Road, also known as the Curry Mile, in the Rusholme area of Manchester.
[2] Rachel Hore from The Guardian newspaper wrote, "Sparky characters, exuberant idiom and rich detail combine to make this an enjoyable slice of Desi life, Manchester style".
[3] Ziauddin Sardar named The Curry Mile one of the books of the year in New Statesman Magazine and wrote, "The Curry Mile by Zahid Hussain tells the story of a young, rebellious Muslim woman who is forced to rescue her father's restaurant business in Manchester's Asian area.
Squabbling families with overbearing fathers, neighbourhood business feuds, charlatan mystics, music and mayhem - all human life is there".
