“I have been going to this restaurant for years now on and off. Family run business and they are so helpful with allergies and cater as much as possible for the customer. Really tasty food and it's never disappointed. Really good portions and really friendly staff. I've always ordered takeout because the bookings for the restaurant is always full and it's full for a reason but takeaway has been above and beyond. If I ever fancy Thai food it's always been Baan Pad Thai as they have always come through with top authentic food.”

“Amazing. Every time I’m in Manchester I come here. Food is always flavourful, curries and sauces are to die for and I’ve never been dissatisfied. Bread is the perfect texture and has a fantastic fermented flavour :) Price is just right for what you’re getting and the portions are great! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Ethiopian or to anyone who’s looking for it in Manchester. Very very good eat Make sure you have an Ethiopian beer and a cinnamon tea at the end, it is really worth it!”

“I asked Ali if he could cater for a family gathering I was having at home. I could not have been happier with the wonderful food that was made for us. Every single item was delicious. The lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken was delicious as was the gravy made from scratch! Loved the sides. Tiramisu and rice pudding were the perfect two desserts to keep everyone happy! Thank you Ali and the team - I wouldn’t think twice about going for this again.”

“We ate at Zaytoon for the first time last night and we absolutely loved it. The food was amazing; just delicious. We had the mezze platter and a whole sea bass, and everything was perfect. One of us wanted more lamb and had the kebabs, which he said were delicious too. The staff were absolutely lovely, friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back.”

“This is one of the most best Japanese curry I had ever eaten in my life!!!! The curry was sweet, the chicken was crispy and the rice was prefect!! 10/10 stars no drama”

“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!”

“Absolutely love the food here always fresh and delicious.We always order the extra spicy king prawn fried rice and it never fails always satisfying!We always dine in but you can also take out.I would very much recommend this place. The two lady who work there are very lovely and friendly. It's my favourite thai place.”

“Family run Mexican eatery, various margarita options. I really enjoyed the peach and jalapeño wings and birria tacos”

“I just had to write a quick review for this place. Manchester based but well worth the travel. This was my first experience of Libyan foood and if this is anything to go by, I’m moving to Libya. Lamb soup, mini shwarma, Shakshuka, these amazing keema filled potatoes. It was all great. Spicier than I expected and reasonably priced. £11.50 for everything in the pics. It’s near whimmy road - so if you are in that part of town, give them a try. Zoroona”

“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”

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

“We ordered some food to celebrate St Valentine. We enjoyed it very much. Everything was cooked to perfection and we were very happy with our choice. This was our first ever visit but surely will not be the last. Very friendly and smiley people. They even threw in a gift, Italian made grilled aubergine.”

“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”

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!”

“I ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt, and it was really good! The broth was deeply aromatic and bursting with rich flavors—hands down the best pho I’ve had in a long time. The Cà Phê Special was loaded with a fantastic mix of rare steak, shin of beef, beef flank, chicken, pork belly, pork roll, and king prawns. The portion size was very generous. The staff were friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for a standout pho experience, this place is an absolute must-try.”
