The 30 Best Comfortable dining restaurants in Manchester

“We orderd delivery spot on for service delivery price and food quality loved it 10/10 for us”

“We stumbled upon this restaurant on a trip to Manchester to celebrate my 50th birthday. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We wouldn't hesitate to return whenever we are back in Manchester!”

“Nice food but order by Chinese app”

“Love this place. Fresh tasty and great prices. Lovely lady who serves. Cash only though. Xx”

“Stayed here for 2 weeks and that is my second 2 week stay this year. First week the room was small, like Harry Potters cupboard under the stairs small but had all the amenities still. Was clean, well stocked and did exactly what I needed it to do but was too small to relax in after a hard day's work. I didn't dine in the restaurant, not because the food wasn't nice, I ate in their on my previous visit and it was delicious but I did venture out this time. The second best bit about the stay? Breakfast, not only was breakfast delicious, always well stocked but they REALLY need a new coffee machine! The number 1 thing...CAROL K...She was outstanding! SOOOO funny, but lovely too. Made coming down on a morning a pleasure. No plans to go to Manchester again soon but would happily stay there to go and see Carol K again.”

“Overall experience was pleasant. Small issue with our room which was quickly resolved by staff. Ben on reception the night manager is brilliant really goes above and beyond! Also when checking in Mia was so busy and remained so calm, courteous & professional. Would highly recommend Will stay here again”

“Annual Christmas party. The staff are lovely and really helpful. Food was tasty and piping hot considering there was 75 of us to be served simultaneously. Loads of car parking spaces. Good bus routes into Stockport/Manchester”

“Wonderful soundproofing for a city location. Didn't hear traffic, banging doors or anything during the night. Very comfy bed, powerful shower, clean and useful facilities. Also lovely friendly lady on reception. Late checkout brilliant too. The beefeater attached to it is great as well. We arrived very tired from long journey and took advantage of the special offer for dinner and breakfast. Food was delicious, portions good and Holly our waitress was brilliant.”

“My family of 5 stayed there Friday to Saturday this week. The staff are amazing and so friendly I have 3 ASD children and the staff were lovely with them all. As we were checking in the lady gave each of them some cookies. The beds are so comfy and I'd paid for breakfast which can I say fantastic such choice which is perfect for my children as they can be hard to cater for. As we were about to leave the restaurant one of the male staff came over and gave my younger 2 a Terry's chocolate orange each. I would definitely stay there again and can't rate it highly.”

“It was lovely and for tourists interested in visiting Old Trafford, this is super close. The bus system is great so we could stay here even though our event was at the University of Manchester. The breakfast was beautiful and fun, and we didn't have to break our banks.”

“Stayed here when I went to a concert in Manchester. From the moment I arrived at the hotel, Levon made me feel welcome. He greeted me with a genuine smile and handled the check-in process quickly and professionally. Even though I had a few special requests, he was patient, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of without any hassle. What really stood out to me was how friendly and approachable he was throughout my stay. Whether I needed directions, restaurant suggestions, or help with a small issue in my room, Levon was always available and eager to help. He has a calm, polite manner that instantly puts you at ease. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and cares about the guest experience. My stay felt smooth and stress-free. He’s a real asset to the hotel, and I’ll definitely return — partly because of the great service I received at the front desk.”

“Amazing night. Celebrating my friends birthday. Her daughter was a massive hit on the Karaoki, and her son was too. The owners Steve and Neil were FAB! So welcoming and entertaining. First time there but we will be back for sure. The food was fantastic too. Top marks to chef.”

“Enjoyable family meal, lots of choice, and fun service with the little robot cats. Went Saturday 3pm and it was nice, not too busy. Would go again”

“Absolutely fantastic, lovely staff, lovely robots, lovely food! Fill your boots and enjoy the unique experience.”

“I eat here regularly, the kebabs are the best I’ve tased, chicken very fresh, 10/10 every time , staff are also so friendly. Thanks guys”

“Best Ghanaian food I’ve had since moving to Manchester and I dare say the best in the uk. Very tasty, great portions, excellent service.”

“Spice African Restaurant is a hidden gem serving the most authentic and flavorful African cuisine in town! From rich, slow-cooked stews to perfectly grilled meats, every dish bursts with bold spices and traditional tastes. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit unforgettable. Don't miss their signature jollof rice and tender suya, it’s a true taste of Africa! Whether you're a first-timer or a returning guest, Spice African Restaurant guarantees an amazing culinary experience. Highly recommended! I budgeted £50 but ended spending over £200 and went home very happy”

“Ordered Family table requested to be served once arrived to save time. Brother Ali provided exceptional service and looked after my family. Enjoyed the starters and main course. Highly recommended and yes pre-order and reserve table to avoid delays or waiting. Great people great service.”

“One of the best or rather the best Indian restaurants in Manchester! I thoroughly loved this place. The moment you step in, it feels like entering a crowded market. Everyone out there is excitedly talking and busy with their food. The best part is, if someone celebrates their birthday, the entire restaurant erupts into a celebration mode and sings for the person. That was very special and unique in this place. The staff are courteous and helpful. I'm usually not a fan of butter chicken, but the butter chicken in this place was lips smacking! It was spicy, creamy and exactly the way I love it. Keep up the amazing work! I wish you guys would open a branch in India as well.”

“The burgers are on point, 7 of us got burger meal, wings and a wrap meal. We spent around £45. Everything was on point, the burger was succulent and the flavour was just perfect, the fries were perfectly seasoned and they just hit the spot. We drove 3 hours just to have these burgers. Definitely worth a try.”

“Great food. The atmosphere is great but would be better if they'd play some music more often in the evenings, however I understand reasons for not doing so. Service is good and staff are friendly. I would recommend.”

“Had a great stay recently! Special mention to Charlie who particularly stood out for being very welcoming, approachable and helpful with any questions and requests I had. Would recommend”

“Just excellent. I stayed one night to work locally. My bag was lost on the flight up, the hotel staff were super friendly and helped me with a few bits. Great breakfast also. When things go wrong it comes down to how people help and assist you. I would definately stay again. Many Thanks”

“The perfect airport hotel. A complementary shuttle bus is available from the airport, which arrived to pick me up just outside the terminal. From my arrival in reception I was greeted by very attentive and friendly staff - the place has a feeling of being orderly and efficient yet still maintaining that relaxed atmosphere. My room had a comfortable bed, super soft sheets and was quiet - I couldn’t hear any noise from the airport. The selection and quality of the buffet breakfast was brilliant. Everything you could want prepared and displayed to an high standard. Mike and John were going over and above to ensure all guests had a great experience. Overall I was impressed with my stay, and glad I chose this hotel after a very long flight.”

“I had an excellent experience at the bar in the Marriott thanks to Wade. He’s one of those rare bartenders who makes you feel welcome from the moment you sit down. Professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive, Wade mixed fantastic drinks and offered great recommendations based on what I liked. What stood out most was his service—fast, thoughtful, and consistently upbeat, even when the bar got busy. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and it shows in the atmosphere he creates. If you’re staying at the Marriott (or even if you’re just passing through), make sure to stop by the bar and ask for Wade. He’ll make your visit a great one. He really made my birthday so special x”

“> We were not guests at this hotel—we just came here for dinner—but we had a wonderful experience. The staff were very helpful, and the food was delicious. Santhy looked after our table and provided amazing service”

“For a great brekky and brew, call in and see Chris at GB butty van.”

“Family-run restaurant close to the Windmill Pub. Good mediterranean food and friendly service not licenced but you can bring your own bottle saving money”

“Tried the Jollof Rice and Oha Soup with my Ethiopian friend. We both loved it!”
