The Curry Mile is a nickname for the part of Wilmslow Road running through the centre of Rusholme in south Manchester, England. The name is earned from the large number of restaurants, take-aways and kebab houses specialising in the cuisines of South Asia and the Middle East, thought to be the largest concentration of South Asian restaurants outside the Indian subcontinent.[1][2][3] Within a length of half a mile there are least seventy establishments of this kind.[1][2] The Curry Mile is notable for its streets being busy into the early hours of the morning. The area is frequently visited by local students, because of its location near the Oxford Road and Fallowfield Campuses of the University of Manchester, and the Oxford Road/All Saints campus of the Manchester Metropolitan University. RestaurantsFrom the 1980s to the early 21st century, the area was dominated by mainly Pakistani cuisine.{{cn|date=March 2017}} On filmIn 1996, Aneel Ahmed and Faisal A.
