The 30 Best Authentic in Salford

“My absolute go to Chinese in the area. The portions are very well sized for the money and most dishes come with the rice or chips included. The food is always very hot and well presented. The fire chow mein and seaweed is our favourite! Definitely recommend as the best Chinese in the area, and we love supporting local.”

“Been enjoying roast meats all over Asia for the past 40 years. My first time at Park View ordering 3 meats and rice was spectacular, l portions were double than l would normally get from Manchester. The flavour of meats was better than expected they did not disappoint, l would not hesitate in recommending there restaurant.(l,ll be back)”

“Pretty nice vibe and friendly staff. Food is delicious too, I had a ribeye and a hunters both lovely and cooked to perfection! Would recommend for a lite bite or quick lunch stop.”

“2nd time we have been here visiting Manchester, we weren't disappointed. The food is amazing,good portions and reasonably priced. Especially for a station restaurant. A visit is a must. The cocktails were fantastic too. Overall, brilliant food, brilliant friendly and helpful staff and very clean. Great place. The pictures are just the starters with cocktails.”

“Fantastic service, lovely and delicious food. Tried Ghormeh Zabzi and Ghaymeh, and also Kale-pacheh. Definitely recommend this place”

“Salsa de Cuba! Fantastico! The ONLY authentic, Havana university trained dance teachers in Manchester. I have done all of their dance courses except one in the last 5 years. Juan & Susan have also given me the amazing opportunity to participate in many dance performances of which I am eternally honoured to have done. I also went on one of their Cuba holidays which was one of the best experiences ever! Not many dancers can say that they’ve even danced with their dance teachers beautiful family in their kitchen, in the heart of Havana with a live band.....you’ll never experience that on any other Cuba package holiday! Nor will you ever receive such friendly, professional dance advice elsewhere! Well done Salsa de Cuba. Much love & future success”

“this place is amazing great food and people so nice love it all my family too”

““I ordered the chicken shawarma and lamb shawarma, and both were soft, delicious, and arrived hot. I’ve eaten in the shop before and the food is even tastier and cheaper when you order in person. Overall, a very good experience.””

“Had a really great experience, the atmosphere was nice with really friendly staff who were accommodating to my food allergies and made us feel at home. Reasonably priced for excellent food!”

“Location by the water and in amongst other restaurants is perfect, large outdoor areas front and back. Decor and ambience is spot on. The menu is huge and everything I ordered tasted great. For some the food could be on the spicy side as there is a lot of fresh chilli on many dishes so just ask for less or more Even the dessert was surprisingly good”

“The best burrito in the town and maybe in the North Region. The owner is such a lovely person and his marketing skills are making you smile.”

“Really tasty! Decent sized portions, (I've not managed to finish a portion of chow mein yet!) and reasonably priced. Their English food is just as good, battered sausage is to die for from here! (don't forget gravy!) Friendly service and it always looks clean when we walk past.”

“I came here for my birthday meal and I would recommend to anyone, the service was lovely everything was well explained without being overbearing, tablets are intuitive and easy to order from. We ordered 5 dishes each for £21 per person which gave us 10 to share between us and we struggled to finish, for small plates they’re very filling. Though we ordered primarily sushi, there’s lots of variety in flavours and options for dietary restrictions so there’s something everyone would be happy with here. The food was great, out fast and presented beautifully. I was even brought a birthday brownie at he end of the meal which was very sweet. We’d definitely come again (:”

“Waiting for my lorry to be serviced popped in for breakfast,was a good breakfast good price would stop by again!”

“I had the best pizza and garlic bread I've ever had. The menu is bigger than most national chains and this makes pizzabaker all the better. There is no BBQ based pizza on the menu but all I had to do was ask and it was done, I had a chicken feast and it was amazing, so tasty. The garlic bread was great, so light and fresh, easily the freshest dough I've ever had. I will be back, very soon”

“Its so good and yummy,every thing was freshly made,friend chicken smell s so delicious,highly recommended.”

“Always loved this place, we can order customised food and the guy is very calm. The food quality consistency can be improved but that doesn’t stop me from giving a 5 star.”

“Lovely place, tasty food, would always recommend it without hesitation”

“Sanam Sweet House on Cheetham Hill Road is an absolute gem for lovers of authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine! From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for an exceptional experience. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to guide you through their extensive menu. The variety of sweets is unparalleled, with everything freshly made and bursting with flavor. Their jalebi is perfectly crispy and syrupy, while the gulab jamun melts in your mouth like pure bliss. Don’t miss their savory options either—the samosas are hands down some of the best I’ve ever had, filled with flavorful spices and a perfect flaky crust. What truly stands out is the consistent quality and dedication to maintaining traditional flavors. It’s a place that not only satisfies your cravings but leaves you eager to come back for more. Whether it’s for a quick treat, a family gathering, or a special occasion, Sanam Sweet House never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

“We had a wonderful lunch. The service was spot on. Not rushed, relaxed, but professional. The atmosphere is lovely, and we love the location, overlooking exchange square, it feels so light and bright. We mostly had pasta, and one risotto, and all the food was excellent. Overall, a really great experience, and I would recommend this restaurant to pretty much anyone.”

“Studied for 3 years here, I owe the course and the tutors my career 9 year in the industry. Really practical course, hands on learning with industry standard facilities. A buzzing learning environment”

“Very nice food the best food ever so delicious and lovely people's.”

“My favourite local take away. Friendly staff food is excellent”

“It’s pricier than places like itsu for sushi but it’s loads better. Best meal is the chicken curry, they heat it for you and it’s the best meal you can buy for lunch within a 15 minute walk of my office. Costs about £8 but would work great as a dinner if you wanted it. Service can be a bit slow, blunt and disorganised but I bet staff are rushed off their feet. Don’t know why people don’t shout about Nudo more.”

“Loved the food and it was affordable too, I came in right after opening and it was ready in 15 minutes, perfect for students in Salford looking for a nice meal. This place is also halal which is perfect for Muslim friends and family.”

“Very friendly staff delicious food thank you guys”

“I have ordered from here a number of times and the food is so delicious, it’s the best Indian takeaway food I’ve ever had! The staff are so friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. I would 100% recommend this place, time and time again. You can now pay by card at the takeaway”

“I ordered here via Deliveroo last week, had egg fried rice, kimchi pancake and salt and pepper chicken. The food was amazing and I didn’t notice or watch how long it would take to deliver but it felt like it was delivered in good time. The driver from the restaurant brought it right to my door (unlike other Deliveroo drivers who will make you come down) I loved the food so much I added it on my list of places to eat back at and did a google search which is where I saw the poor reviews on here. I’m surprised to see some of them as I had a pleasant experience - I would say to give it a chance.”

“Our go-to Chinese takeaway in Pendlebury. Never had an issue with this place. We've been using it for 7+ years. Sweet and sour chicken, egg fried rice, salt and pepper chips, veggie spring rolls. All standard, and very tasty. Almost always piping hot, occasionally warm but that's to be expected sometimes when you get it delivered. It's never cold. Though. Super cheap. Easy to order via telephone. Drivers always arrive with a smile.”
