Where to eat

The places near the station are just takeaways with a few bucket seats. Keep going past the first one you see, Caribbean Flavas, which gets rotten reviews. Further east on Blackfriars, Eastzest is a decent Indian restaurant open daily 5-11:30PM. Good restaurants at The Campanile and The Lowry Hotel, listed below. Lots of budget eateries on Salford Quays, Media City, and just across the bridge in Old Trafford.
