Appetizer options in Manchester

“Really nice spot with a good vibe. I had a OG cheese pizza slice and a beer, both were tasty, simple but satisfying. It was raining when I visited, so I sat inside, but I can imagine it’s even better when the weather’s nice and you can sit outside. Service was quick and the atmosphere was relaxed. A great place for a casual drink and a bite in the city.”

“Very good food excellent quality and great service. Value for money. Very friendly and good manners.”

“It’s hard to not get too over excited but we had a family meal here last night celebrating 2 birthdays - 27th & 25th and we experienced some of the best food I’ve eaten in a while. The vibe in the place was perfect, nice subtle music in the background with a buzz in the restaurant. I wasn’t sure about Japanese and Mexican mix but wow it worked. Small plate dining but we were very food satisfied by the end - no one could eat anymore. The 9 course experience was exceptional and allowed you to try dishes you would never order but were first class. I have to call out a few - 1. calamari - oh wow - this is simple to cook but so many get it wrong, here it was amazing 2. The stone bass - incredible dish cooked superbly well 3. But the deserts came …. Caused arguments on our table as we couldn’t decided what was nicer the crème brûlée or cheesecake - sensational. The service was exceptional and we were looked after by Mira who was a buzz of positive energy and a great host. Our table connected with the sommiler who gave us the best Cloudy Bay I’ve had and the general manager was an amazing guy who ensured we were fully looked after all evening. An absolute first class experience - I could not recommend this place anymore.”

“Extremely friendly, smiley and helpful staff. A very warm welcome as I walked through the door. Clean, modern premises with Japanese style lucky cat artwork. A quiet, but slightly echoing atmosphere with background music that isn’t too loud and is quite mellow. Unagi Don: very sticky rice, rich and sweet sauce, flaky eel. Very tasty. Miso soup: well flavoured with a decent amount of seaweed and tofu. Chicken Karaage: succulent and very flavourful. Drunken Noodle with King Prawns, Shrimp, Mussels and Squid: The flat noodles were quite soft and easily breakable, but full of flavour and sauce which coated the seafood and vegetables very well. Dorayaki: not too sweet. A satisfying, no fuss, light dessert and the addition of chocolate sauce is a very complimentary flavour. Overall: a fair sized portion of good food at a reasonable price.”

“⭐ One Love Kitchen – A True Gem in Ashton ⭐ I’ve just had one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted from One Love Kitchen. The fish is absolutely incredible — I ordered it half an hour in advance so they could prepare it fresh, and it was worth every minute. A perfect fillet, no bones, beautifully seasoned, and cooked with real love. I added the jerk sauce, and honestly, it complements the fish so well… rich, warm, and full of flavour. The staff are outstanding too — decades of experience in Jamaican cooking, and you can taste that wisdom in every bite. They treat you like family the moment you walk in. This place has become my go-to for Jamaican food in Ashton. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. One Love. Unity in a time of division.”

“After my partner ordered our tea at there other takeaway, we phoned them as soon as we ralised. They sorted everything out straight away, and they were really polite and friendly. Amazing food, and excellent customer service.”

“Beautiful restaurant, the food was good (not the pizza) the staff really friendly, nice atmosphere prices were ok! We really enjoyed.”

“Always a good here here, the kebabs are huge. One of the few places which ask for a little less meat and a tonne more salad are happy to do that. They are happy to make changes to your chosen item too. Delivery is fast too.”

“My first time at chiquito and I really enjoyed it. Great food, drinks and atmosphere and the service was amazing. We were served by Tim who was helpful and attentive and a good laugh! Made us feel welcome and like nothing was too much trouble, only in Manchester for the weekend but will definitely come again.”

“I had a great experience at Five Guys! The food came out very quickly and was fresh and delicious. The staff were really friendly, and Cedric in particular was extremely helpful. Since it was my first time trying the Five Guys menu, he took the time to explain it and help me choose. Excellent service and tasty food — I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Love this place, Arab vibes and traditional authenticity. Food is a must, another place to go on my list. Try different dishes and keep a variety of tastes. The upstairs family or segregated seating area was good and I loved the art tapestry work. Can't beat the traditional middle eastern vibes and the atmosphere. The food to try among many is the Chicken rice pilafa and the soup is also delicious. Great place for family and the price is not only affordable but, also quality for food.”

“Gatley Tandoori Restaurant which is next door and separate to it's Takeaway. I visited for a family birthday celebration. Parking was on the street unfortunately some people had a walik. The restaurant doesn't have a alcohol licence but a supermarket and off licence are close by, the restaurant has information about them post on a wall. A number of children were present at our function and they were catered for. The staff were very polite and accommodating even with the children. A birthday cake was presented to the guest of honour. I can't testify as to whether or not the property is adequately wheelchair accessible as I'm not wheelchair bound but I can add that they do have disability toilet facilities grab bars and handrails etc. Hot & cold water was available (I've been to properties that don't have hot water). The property was clean and and tastefully decorated. Unfortunately I can't vouch for the vegetarian or dietary options. A Good time was had by all.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Experience at Persia Grill! Persia Grill is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm smile and a wonderful atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Maral, the lovely owner, is such a kind and welcoming person — she goes above and beyond to make sure every guest is happy. The food is absolutely delicious — everything from the starters to the main dishes was full of flavour and beautifully presented. I had the Jojeh Extra Koobideh and Baghali Polo with Lamb Shank, and they were cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable too, especially for the quality and portions you get. We even had a wedding party there a few months ago, and everything was perfect — the food, the service, and the whole experience. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their guests. If you’re looking for authentic Persian food in a lovely setting with great people, Persia Grill is the place to go. Highly recommended!”

“Nice place to chill with friends. Cold beers and drinks and also nice BBQ Good music as well. Clean environment and comfy.”

“First time eating a Neel Paneer and will definitely be returning. Delicious food and lovely staff. Large portion sizes meant we had some to take home to enjoy the next day!”

“Went out on a Friday night for dinner, left extremely satisfied. Food was amazing, staff were on point. No complaints our end. If we lived closer we would love to visit again! 5/5!”

“Very Good and authentic Indian food. Excellent Menu and taste. Would love to come again.”

“Best Tom Yum in Warrington! Very friendly service. Recommend!”

“Amazing food, excellent quality friendly staff, great service what more do you need!!! (Cheesy garlic bread is the best around!!)”

“It's just changed ownership and whilst we did like it before, the food is a massive improvement. We've tried the Singapore Vermicelli - very spicy. Just like it's supposed to be. Tonight we had kung po, and again it was excellent. Recommended.”

“We’ve eaten here a few times, the food is fresh and delicious! The food is not too sweet or salty like a lot of Chinese places. Highly recommend the duck Sambay with chilli & ginger it’s so good! Reasonably priced too.”

“Not had the pleasure for a while but no need to worry. Usual great beer albeit slightly smaller choice. Awesome bar staff;Lucy even remembered my dog's name after more than a year and miraculously produced a sausage to welcome him back! As for the locals I'd challenge even a Tory MP to leave without making new friends! Best pub in Tameside by far.”

“Great local pub and a fantastic pint of cask bitter. Pub feels clean and welcoming with really nice decor. Will definitely return for a lovely pint of cask bitter. Compliments to management and staff.”

“We had a lovely Sunday roast here. Really reasonable prices. Staff were v friendly, Portion size was perfect. Will definitely be coming back here :)”

“We came here as a lunch stop before attending a football game. There was a good range of drinks, my partner really liked the lager selection and that they were an own brand of beer! We wanted a light lunch where we both had the chicken wraps and some chip to share the food was DELICIOUS and it was a good varied menu, we will definitely look to come back in the future the next time we’re in Manchester!”

“Cash only pub, great pub for locals”

“Their Rice and Beans with the Steak and Chips was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to others.”

“Nice friendly atmosphere, with fantastic food and a great price, brilliant views looking out over the hills. . Only down side I suppose is the outside of the building looking a little tatty and doesn't do it justice for what it's like inside. Would defiantly recommend and I will be returning to try out more of the menu.”

“Flavour Shawarma was recommended to me by a friend and it has quickly become my favorite spot in town. The flavors are exceptional, and the meat is perfectly seasoned and juicy. Their staff is friendly, and their service is prompt. The ambiance adds to the overall experience, making it a five-star dining destination for Shawarma enthusiasts like me! A Must Try!”

“We've been struggling for 18 months to find a decent place. We ordered the Hot & Spicy Pizza and it was delicious. Was nice and hot when delivered and the service was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”
