Blogging café in Manchester

“Dishoom Spinningfields is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester. When it first opened back in 2018, it was Dishoom’s first restaurant in Northern England, and since then they’ve set a remarkable standard of both food and service quality and certainly left me coming back for more. The interior is super impressive, cool and unique. Dishoom is based on the old Irani cafés in Bombay, and the interior is so large and feels like no other restaurant in the city. My go-to dishes are the Chicken Ruby with Basmati Rice and occasionally the Gunpowder Potatoes. The portion sizes are generous, and the rich spices of the curry are super good — it’s obvious they use great quality ingredients and seasonings. For drinks, again the selection is vast, with my favourites being the regular Chai and the Mango Lassi, which are both really good. There is always a staff member walking around topping up tap water, so you’ll never go thirsty. The pricing is a little high, but I feel it is worth it for the quality. Matka Holders can also roll a dice at the end of their meal to potentially earn everything for free, food and alcohol included, during certain times. This makes it all fun, being able to put the meal on the roll of a dice. Due to having an allergy, I can scan a QR code on the menu for the latest information, and all the staff members are well trained in dealing with allergies. They’re aware of coeliac disease and the danger of cross-contamination, and always keep my items separate from my friends’ when I dine in a group. Overall, this is one of the places to be in Manchester if you’re looking for good food with fantastic allergy awareness, overall ambience/vibes, food and service quality. It’s a place that you can go for a special occasion or even a quick lunch (although a lunch menu / meal-deal offer would make it even more enticing for sure!).”

“Once again they have delivered, I come here regularly, called again today with my two daughters who live in Canada. The place is always well lit and spotless, such an important trait, we chose our food and sat waiting to be called to collect our food. The girls were as impressed as myself, the food is so fresh and with the selection of salad and sauces available it only adds to the experience. I managed to clear my plate,( no surprise there) my daughters had to admit defeat and take some home to enjoy later.”

“A very pleasant coffee shop just outside Manchester Victoria railway station. Part of Hotel Indigo. Surprisingly large with a choice of comfortable rooms and seats. Cakes and breakfast butties available. Newspapers free to read. Taking Alic on a rare outing. Boothroyd chose him for this trip. There ia also a bar that I've never been to! Americano £3. Lovely staff.”

“Fantastic service from Crown Bedrooms They managed to make an awkward space look great whilst providing me with lots of storage. Service from start to finish was brilliant. Highly recommended.”

“Wonderful place, Aaron is such a great host and puts so much care from everything he bakes to the selection of coffee which is fabulous. There is a real sense of community when you go in. I have been a regular there for the last 5y and it never disappointed. Take the trip, enjoy a superb cup of coffee and a lush cake!”

“First time here. Took our dogs with us and the staff even gave them a free sausage as a snack. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Good atmosphere. Would recommend and will definitely return”

“Wow amazing food, music, staff and venue. Wings and meatballs definitely recommended. Beautiful mix of heat, flavour and sauce to get every taste bud tingling.”

“This as got to be the best supermarket the UK as to offer the staff are brilliant! If its quality food that your looking for then this is the place for you! After doing some shopping we got beef and horseradish sauce sandwiches on wholemeal bread absolutely delicious.”

“Tasty Turkish breakfast and nice atmosphere.”

“All the food is great, fresh made. I particularly like spam and scrambled eggs on bagel or jacket potato tuna mayo and cheese. Love this place”

“Just been in for a bacon and egg barm. Lovely stuff. Staff were really nice. Definitely go back there when am in the area. Thanks”

“Couldn’t fault our visit here. A cosy busy spot great for families. The atmosphere is lovely and the outdoor seating is perfect when the weathers good. The food was also on point. Portions are massive and at amazing value. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and it was surprisingly very good! Will happily come again.”

“Amazing friendly staff. Food always top quality, my favourite chippy from Middleton, love their sweet & sour chicken, rice, soft noodles, chip muffins and chips and gravy. Portions are always big. Will miss when I move this month.”

“Made an order for delivery and realised I’d made a mistake. Called shakes and bakes 20 mins later thinking it’d be too late and they were happy to amend the order for me. Really lovely staff who work there, just genuine people. Desserts are always 10/10, sweet diner is our go to most weekends!!”

“Staff are good but sometimes feel like they're in a rush to get you served and out even when they're quiet. Quick service otherwise. Prices are a little high but very convenient for a quick and convenient caffeine fix”
