Authentic flavors in Manchester

“Great service and food, very attentive and friendly staff. We were a table of 6 and all had different meals, everything came out together and all thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“After ordering a few amazing takeaways from this place we had to pop in to try the thali. Everything from the food to the service was incredible! Super friendly and welcoming staff and the tastiest vegan Indian food we've tried. The waiter even gave us the recipe for the drink that came with our thali because we loved it so much. Highly recommended supporting such a lovely independent!”

“Indian Affair is hands down my favourite spot for Indian food in Chorlton - I come here regularly and always leave full & happy. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. My go-to order is Butter Chicken with their garlic naan and perfectly cooked pilau rice. The Lamb Nihari is another favourite - rich, tender and a great portion size! And if you love street food-style starters, the Samosa Chaat is a must-try. On top of the amazing food, the prices are really reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you’re dining in or getting a takeaway, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend checking this place out!”

“This place is not only a Gem of Chorlton but also a serious contender for the best Indian food in a very wide radius... Their Lamb karahi is the best I've tasted and I've eaten alot of karahi. Super tender lamb & loaded with flavour! Friendly staff & food that makes your belly happy, what more can you ask for! 10/10, wouldn't hesitate to recommend & already can't wait for the next time we visit!”

“I ordered masala dosa. We were delighted by the authentic South Indian cuisines. The spices and flavors were extremely impressive with the food.will definitely order again”

“A food truck with a 4-seater table along a not too busy street. The food is prepared by two friendly Thai ladies and the taste is authentic. Pad thai is only £6 for lunch. It is hot and delicious at good portion! It is even tastier than many Thai restaurants I have tried before. What a surprise! People are mainly ordering takeaway.”

“What a gem of a place. This is one of the most authentic and pleasent Italian places I had the pleasure to eat at in a very long time. Let's say that if I lived in theare me and my girlfriend would most definitely weight a few more stones/Kgs. As well as the food it is cosy, attentive stuff, quick enough service (to not make you think they want you out of the door) definitely a must try.... Book of you can as space is limited.”

“First time at Efes, so glad we went - Spectacular food, friendly team and a terrific experience!”

“I went to umezushi for my birthday meal with my closest friends. It definitely lived up to all of my expectations! Such a small & cosy place with truly phenomenal food, both in variety and in quality. We feasted on miso, handrolls, sashimi, sushi and desert... and I was blown away with every aspect. The staff were warm and knowledgeable which always helps. Definitely one to try for any sushi aficionados!”

“It's a small cafe so there isn't really an atmosphere. Feels unfair to score low on this though and I imagine there is an atmosphere in the warmer months. Service was great, the food was lovely. The tatseki is amazing. Yummy Yummy yummy”

“Absolutely lovely. A real find tucked away in the centre of Shoreheath. Lovely staff and great food. Perfect. x”

“Friendly staff and a great range of interesting drinks, particularly ales. Decent selection of gins, including Forest Gin at a fair price (a particular favourite of mine which isn't always easy to get hold of). A good place for buying gifts for anybody who likes booze.”

“This is a small shop compared to some but they pack a lot of products in. The staff are very helpful especially christine who i seem to have most dealings with. I have recently bought a new vape and i am so pleased with it, i started going in here for my regular liquid which is usually waiting in a box behind the counter with my name on it. If you ask about something that catches your eye from thier display then they are very happy to tell you about it but dont push you to buy anything. I drive out of my way to go here mainly for the customer service. I would highly recommend.”

“We came in for lunch and it was amazing as usual. It was my daughter’s first visit and she loved it. Mike and the team looked after us brilliantly. Highly recommended.”

“Absolutely amazing food and service. The food was incredible, so fresh. Big portions and the service was outstanding. So friendly. Will definitely be back! Thanks for a lovely meal”

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“We visited last weekend with family and friends for a birthday meal and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed – and that was entirely thanks to our waitress Nicole( I believe that was her name). She greeted us with the kind of warm, natural smile that instantly makes you feel like you’ve chosen the right place for dinner. Nicole’s service was impeccable from start to finish. She struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering, somehow anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Water glasses never dipped below half, orders were double-checked for accuracy. What impressed me most was Nicole’s genuine enthusiasm for the menu. She offered thoughtful recommendations based on our tastes and described each dish with detail – and she was spot-on every time. It’s clear she knows and loves the food here, and that passion is contagious. Beyond the technical side of service, Nicole made the evening memorable with her personable nature. She engaged with us in a way that felt friendly and sincere, not scripted. By the end of the night, we felt less like customers and more like welcomed guests. If you visit, you’re in for a treat no matter what you order – but if you’re lucky enough to have Nicole as your server, you’re guaranteed a truly exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her by name.”

“Actually best shawarma I've every had and the chips despite being covered in sauce and salad are still incredibly crispy.”

“Haven't been to this shop for a while, but liked its products the few times I have visited. Reasonably priced too.”

“This place is a proper hidden gem. The pizza is the best around. Proper stonebaked pizza, tastes amazing. The burgers are really good too. Just a small restaurant so it has a nice atmosphere and the friendly staff make it even better. Would definitely recommend!”

“Came here tonight for the first time and will definitely be back. The pizza is the tastiest we’ve ever had, all the ingredients were quality. This place has such a nice vibe between the music and friendly staff.”

“Friendly staff, shawarma was delicious, also their garlic bread is very good. Always made fresh to order and as I said the staff are fantastic. Highly recommend.”

“Ordered 2 pizzas for takeaway and the service was quick - staff were friendly and the pizza was delicious. Overall a great experience 5⭐️!”

“Me and my friend love Chinese takeaway and we decided to try that place and honest to god it was so good. We had a create your own noodle box and honestly didn’t disappoint. My friend was so shocked and now every time I see her we always go there to eat. The service is amazing! You can watch them make the food and the drinks there are very cheap. Whenever I eat there I always walk out looking very happy. Best noodle & sushi place ever! If you’re a sushi or ramen/ noodle lover I would definitely recommend going there. The photo of my ramen should be there. PLEASE GO!!”

“Seating is available upstairs and downstairs . Welcoming atmosphere . Good selection of Mediterranean based food , which was so good ! And beautifully presented . The waiters are brilliant , attentive, and knowledgeable with what the restaurant has to offer, we couldn't fault anything , we will definitely be going back 10/10”

“The food is second to none, good-sized portions ,really very tasty. A huge menu to choose from and the staff are always polite and service with a smile. I'd highly recommend Chung's fish and chips to anyone, whether they are looking for freshly cooked traditional Chinese food or good old fish and chips.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lana Thai Food in Oldham and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. This cozy little restaurant offers a fantastic selection of traditional Thai dishes that are sure to satisfy any food lover's cravings. The standout feature of Lana Thai Food is undoubtedly the amazing flavors that are packed into each and every dish. The food is bursting with authentic Thai flavors, and every bite is an explosion of taste. I particularly enjoyed the garlic chicken with rice, which was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender and succulent, and the garlic added a wonderful aromatic touch to the dish. It's definitely a must-try! One of the things that impressed me the most about Lana Thai Food is the excellent value for money. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the generous portions that are served. You definitely won't leave this place feeling hungry! Whether you're dining alone or with a group, you can be assured that you'll get your money's worth and more. Another highlight of my visit was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the lady who owns the restaurant. She greeted me with a genuine smile and her friendly nature made me feel right at home. Not only is she welcoming, but she's also incredibly funny, adding a touch of humor to the dining experience. Her passion for Thai cuisine is evident, and she's more than happy to recommend dishes and answer any questions you may have. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lana Thai Food in Oldham. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. The owner's friendly and humorous nature adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic meal, Lana Thai Food is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
