The 30 Best Casual dining in Salford

“Absolute delightful experience. This place has good seating arrangements, which can accommodate more ppl hence the wait time is reasonable. Staffs are polite and friendly, serving is pretty fast. As always they served delicious food, chickpea burger with spicy chips is my favourite. This place is slightly near to the parking lot and next to the quay side mall.”

“Fabulous choice of food. Staff were patient and polite. Everywhere really clean no cluttered uncleared tables.”

“Found this place using maps and it said over 4*. Should have been a 5*. The food was really good and service too. They had more delivery drivers coming in than McDonald’s. That’s how good the food was. Will definitely go back when in Manchester”

“Honestly the best authentic Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to! A family run business bringing in flavours from home! Starters and mains were exquisite, the flavours were perfect. Everything was perfectly cooked. Definitely will be visiting again! Restaurant was clean, bathroom was clean, cutlery was clean! Wheelchair friendly. The owner of the restaurant Giovanni was absolutely wonderful! Lovely host! Very welcoming! Ciao”

“I came to French Tacos at 03:00 in the morning after a long day of work and wanted a quick bite to eat before I headed off home to sleep. As I stepped foot into French Tacos, I was greeted by the 2 guys at the counter, as it was my first time I wasn’t sure what option to choose as there was so many delicious options to choose from the menu, so they helped me out and recommended I try a mixed meat wrap. Whilst waiting I was asked how my day was and had a great chat with the guys. The mixed wrap I had been recommended was really nice and delicious, I loved the potion size and the mixed meats inside the wrap it went so well especially with the cheese. It was perfect. Anyone new to this place or exploring it online for places to eat?, I completely recommend you try this place. Thank you lots to the owners.”

“My first time at Everyman and I was blown away by the fantastic customer service. As soon as we arrived we were wonderful greeted and shown a table before we waited for the screen to be open. A lovely guy with a beard and glasses came and sat to take our order - I couldn’t get over how incredibly friendly and polite he was. The service was worth every penny and the food was delicious.”

“Super nice fried noodles Super tasty milkshake Super yummy spring rolls”

“Tattu Manchester is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was absolutely delicious — the highlight for me was the sea bass fillet steamed, which was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, creating a great atmosphere for dining. Prices are a bit on the high side, but definitely worth it for the quality of the food, the stunning interior, and the attentive service. I would definitely come back here next time I’m in Manchester.”

“Delicious coffee & treats and quiet canal-side seating. A social enterprise supporting good causes. Attached to The People's History Museum, which is by donation. Highly recommended.”

“A trip down memory lane to a beautiful spring day following a beautiful Bachata workshop hosted by factory international based in Manchester; led to an impromptu dinner at Suki Suki- famously known for their ramen! Lucky to be sat upstairs without a reservation, the interior of the restaurant carries a beautiful intimacy perfect for an escape from the bustle and hustle of the streets of deansgate. Opting to try other menu options, our table order included(from left to right): Yaki Udon with pork as the protein of choice 10/10- perfectly cooked with the right amount of spice and the pork was just perfect. Bang bang chicken served with the egg noodle was delightful, with the sweet and spicy blended and perfectly balanced. 10/10 Served with salt and pepper chips which you cannot go wrong with!also 10/10 The food was delicious, definitely a welcomed surprise as my sister and I were absolutely famished. The portions were large and perfect for sharing. Whether you are a solo diner, table for 2/4/6, it is modelled to accommodate any group size. Now, I would advise to book in advance if you want to be seated upstairs, the intimacy it offers is worth it. Will I be coming back to try more on the menu? Yes yes and yes! I appreciated how fast the service was considering it was a full room, the staff were very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed! I haven’t got the receipt this time, but the prices for the quality served 100% worth it and cost about £37.29- this includes a glass of white wine. Also if you are like us and end up being full with some food left on your plate, don’t be shy to ask the staff for takeout! Enjoy.”

“First time here! We wanted to sit inside, but the tables were a bit narrow, so the staff kindly set us up outside with heating. Super comfy and perfect for a chat. Generous portions, friendly service, and a really relaxed, enjoyable brunch.”

“Their kobida with naan was perfect — juicy, well-seasoned, and the naan fresh and just soft enough to soak up all the flavors. The chicken shawarma had that smoky, tender texture I look for, and the chicken tikka with rice was excellent: moist pieces of chicken, fragrant spices, and the rice was fluffy and fragrant. Overall: great food, good portion sizes, and I’ll definitely be going back. Highly recommend if you like Afghani / Middle Eastern-style dishes done well. Love, Ayesha TikTok : @ayeshshahnawaz”

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

“Lovely dinner! Great service and atmosphere. The mushroom arancini balls were to die for!! Thanks, Kelsey, for such great service! We will definitely go back!”

“Gorgeous and delicious food!! Friendly staff ,nice atmosphere!”

“Very friendly and helpful staff. We were running late for our booking and they helped delay it for when we arrived. The food was delicious and a place to definitely go to again.”

“Had lunch here with my son and daughter , very cozy restaurant and faster serving ! the chicken was amazing and the kids really enjoyed the food ! Staff were very friendly and help me to sorted my gift card with infinite patience! hide gem by the road work”

“Ok. Hear me out. I was visiting from Texas on a work trip. My office is right across the street. Took my team out to eat after work to get to know them and chose this place. I am always a pepperoni pizza type of guy. But two of my team ordered the chicken and waffle pizza which was amazing. I wanted to eat all their pizza and not my pepperoni. Came back to the states and looked for someone who made this pizza and no one. This will be my first stop on my next visit.”

“Gabbie was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. Her energy was so positive, and she was super attentive without ever hovering. Everything came out just right, and she made great suggestions that we loved. You can tell she really cares about her guests and enjoys what she does.”

“I really enjoyed the food. The service was excellent and the staff were very helpful. I got the mix grill for 2, and it was more than enough for me, my wife and 2 kids. The owners are great and made us feel very welcome. The decor inside is stunning and the food is fresh and really tasty. My little kids even got lollies at the end. Definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again. Thanks Asma for the delicious food.”

“We had a lovely dinner here the other night to celebrate our anniversary and our server was the wonderful Nancy who despite having a full section of tables throughout our entire meal was so attentive and professional. She made us feel so welcome and helped make our celebration so special. We loved our dinner and will return for other special occasions because of the attention to detail Nancy had and how all of her reccomendations hit the mark.”

“It’s my first time with the restaurant. Fortunately, it was a nice experience through delivery service, as it was fast and I got warm fresh food. I ordered double cheesed burger, it was a good and delicious but too meaty as it has four layers of meat, therefore I preferred the cheesed burger which has only two layers of meat which also considered as a good portion sandwich. Also, I had one freebird chicken burger, it was fresh, simple and hot. It’s not the best but it was very good. All cost me around 30 pounds, but it was enough for 2 normal eaters.”

“Came here on a random off chance of trying out the food. Looks are deceiving from the outside but they do some great pizza let me tell you! Got chatting to the bloke at the front called Rana. Was a really nice guy.”

“I had an incredible experience at the buffet! The food was top-notch—everything was fresh, and the variety was impressive. I especially appreciated the clean and inviting atmosphere, and the service was spot on. If they could add a few African dishes, like jollof rice, and improve the signage for the different menu areas, that would make it even better. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Caitlin. Overall, I can't thank them enough for a fantastic time!”

“So pleased I've discovered the atmosphere bar. Located within the university house this is the university's main SU bar but also well used by Peel Park visitors. The bar is located on the first floor of the building and is easily missed if you don't know it's there. Once inside there are three distinct and different parts of the bar. Firstly the main bar and largest space is like a sports bar with plenty of screens to watch live sporting events. Secondly, there is a games bar with pool tables and retro arcade games and darts. Thirdly there is a mezzanine floor which carries a whole different decor and vibe. Much more intermate and lounge like you can easily find your own space to work or have a private drink. I didn't sample the food but it appeared to be very good value for money. The beer selection was excellent and very well priced. £3.80 for a pint of Guinness and £3.70 for a pint of Madri. The Guinness was excellent too. When I'm next in Peel Park I'll certainly pay a visit to Atmosphere.”

“If you’re looking for authentic Spanish food c excellent service and beautiful atmosphere this in the place to go. Everything was delicious. Incredibly authentic.”

“Traditional pub in Salford. 10 mins walk from Old Trafford. A United pub but not overly so. Good place to watch football in general but they have Liverpool on a little too often. Good quality food and crazy value if you get the right deal. Staff are always friendly and helpful, especially Kieran.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Experience at Embankment Kitchen Had a great visit to Embankment Kitchen — everything was spot on. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was brilliant throughout. A special shout-out to Nari, who looked after us perfectly. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!”

“This is absolutely delicious food. I love coming here and will always get my Chinese food from here. The ribs and friends rice are so tasty. The service is quick and the people working there are always friendly.”

“- Very friendly staff member when I visited the branch at 3:55pm-ish on 18 Jul 2024. (My voucher somehow did not go through but the lady at the till dealt with it patiently and kindly. Very impressed and happy with my experience.) - A great location on Deansgate. - I have been to a few branches of Caffe Nero in Manchester and am getting an impression that they are generally very friendly + the coffees are of a great taste.”
