South Manchester's famous Curry Mile was filled with excitement on Monday evening as people poured into restaurants and cafes to celebrate into the early hours for Eid al-Fitr. The occasion marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which sees Muslims fast from dawn until dusk for 30 days, with countless people heading onto Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, to celebrate.
It is the first time in nearly three years people could head to the road filled with Shisha bars, cafes, restaurants, and sweet shops with a distinct buzz in the air. Drivers blared their horns and shouted Eid Mubarak out their windows while children waved lights with smiles on their faces.
The weather unfortunately did not match the occasion with rain sending people for cover under awnings. However, it was not going to ruin people's nights.
