Convenient restaurant options in Manchester

“First time attending L’AQUILA and it was an outstanding experience! Emma made our visit truly memorable, and the food was absolutely unbelievable. I would definitely recommend it. My daughter, who is 11, said it made her day – such a family-friendly place! I Would maybe change music to fit experience other than that minor thing it honestly was remarkble x”

“Been wanting to go here since they opened, finally got a table. Heard and read great things about this place. I can see now why it's got such high praise and why it's worth waiting to get a booking. From the moment we entered the place was so inviting, the service was excellent. As for the food it was incredible, not one bad course, I opted for the extra course of pheasant, which I'm so glad I did it was one of my favourites. I've been to quite a few tasting menus and this was up there as one of my favourites. The place has a lovely homely family vibe, the chef/owner came out and chatted to us about one of the courses and we ended up chatting for a little, really nice guy. This is such an amazing addition to Urmston and deserves all the success. Get booked in and you won't be disappointed. We will be returning for the next convenient available slot. Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is incredible we went on Sunday for there Sunday roast and it was amazing, every element was off the scale. I'd go for the three courses as the portions aren't huge but well balanced.”

“This family-run restaurant is excellent. The staff are especially attentive, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. I think it is one of my favourite Indian restaurants of all time. I enjoyed the Indian Chai tea to end. Very tasty. Loved it.”

“I had naked burrito it was good in taste all ingredients were fresh.”

“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.”

“Honestly best sushi in Manchester, thanks for the perfect omakase experience for a special occasion. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves! *Their sushi takeaway is not expensive at all, very reasonable price. We paid more just because we had omakase (live cooking and chef’s menu)”

“I ate here last night with my two children and it was amazing. The food was delicious, fresh, came out quickly, and looked fantastic. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, and it was lovely and clean. It was my 8-year-old's birthday and the staff made him feel so special. They brought out his cake with a sparkling candle and happy birthday music playing. He loved it!”

“Wonderful restaurant, lovely staff Excellent chef. Very friendly sells alcohol, first class place to dine. Recommend the biriani, rogan josh, butter chicken and chicken korma. Haven't tried anything else. Kulfi is a must too. It's wise to book in advance if you are a large party.”

“Nice place to spend an evening, authentic Pakistani food, atmosphere was great. Owner is really welcoming and caters to your needs. If you're a fan of a curry, then this is the place for you. I went as part of a medium sized group so groups are welcome.”

“Fantastic service and the most delicious vegan curries. Would highly recommend.”

“Hina was very lovely and kind to us. Offering the best of service :) so sweet would recommend !”

“Never disappoints! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is always friendly. We love coming here and BYOB is an added bonus!”

“Very good range of world food options fresh and also packaged. Also small selection of fresh meat and veg and olives.”

“Fantastic range of starters and main courses for all tastes, from mild curries to extra spicy ones. You won’t miss the fact they don’t have meat in. The in restaurant service is excellent. Not the cheapest, but you are paying for quality of ingredients and presentation. Highly recommended for vegetarians, vegans and those wanting to try something different.”

“First time visiting and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The service was excellent ,friendly, attentive, and efficient and the atmosphere was welcoming and well-set. The food was exceptional, with clear attention to quality and flavour. The burgers in particular were outstanding and easily among the best I’ve had in Manchester. An excellent overall experience and a place I would highly recommend.”

“It's been 9 months now, that i have been in the UK, had around 7-8 Biryani's but hadn't had a biryani like this. very tasty and full of ghee. loved it. very relaxing atmosphere. Had a peaceful meal. The service was quite fast and the manager was very friendly. As their name says, they do satisfy people with food.”

“Booked a table for 7 of us at 7pm. As soon as we arrived we were warmly welcomed and shown straight to our table. The service was amazing. Offered drinks and starters straight away. We didn't have to wait long for our food. The starters and mains were fresh, hot and tasted amazing! Everything was perfect. The atmosphere is very cosy and welcoming. Probably a strange thing to mention, but as someone who has had spinal surgery and struggles with comfort, the seats here were sooo comfortable! Staff are friendly and pleasant. Most importantly though, the food here is delicious and I cant wait to come back!!!”

“Celebrated my 60th birthday last night. There were 24 of us. Everyone commented on the fabulous food and the service. We had a lovely private area. Well stocked bar. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend. Well done Imran and team. Fabulous.”

“delicious burrito! love the bbq pork filling and smoky chipotle sauce! very friendly service from the staff on duty, and the seating area is air conditioned (i visited during a heatwave) the menu is clear and easy to understand, and has a simple/transparent price structure - it's reallt nice that there were no hidden extra charges for each veg or sauce you add!”

“Laura served me and was very patient and kind. Great service from her. The sweet and sour chicken was delicious.”

“Very good. Spicy dipped burgers top class. Every time you order fries they are made fresh which is a nice touch. Pizzas are also excellent. I forgot my change on my first visit and the staff tracked me down on Stockport Road to give me it. There's literally nothing negative I can say about this place.”

“We have just had a lovely family celebration The food was good service was excellent Definitely would recommend this restaurant”

“I would like to thank Mr Saleem and the entire staff for their impeccable service. We went in as a family of 10 as a last min birthday treat. The entire atmosphere and the ' nothing is too much' attitude the staff had really will have us returning and highly recommending this place. To top it all off the food was amazing!! The mix grill platter is a must! The lamb karahi was perfect, the naans were fresh and soft and the kids even loved their burgers! Something for everyone. Highly recommend.”

“Loved the specials! Very friendly and perfect informal dining with a good vibe. Dalia was lovely and everyone very attentive.”

“Great food good service and a good Night out”

“We went on Saturday 20th Sept despite the terrible weather. Table for four. The food was amazing as always, great choice starters and mains. I often skip lunch when going here to enjoy the duck and pancakes, as well as a main never disappoints. Fillet steak Cantonese is always a good choice. Great service and kindness . They have added an internal porch to reduce drafts for the winter . Very well tested last night in the weather. Enjoyed the evening thank you”

“Manchester Road Chippy is an absolute gem! The food is always delicious and perfectly cooked, but what really makes the experience stand out are Lydia and Phoebe. They are fantastic at their jobs—friendly, efficient, and always with a smile that brightens your visit. Their dedication and great service truly deserve recognition, and honestly, they should both get a raise for the amazing work they do. If you're in the area, this chippy is a must-visit!”

“Stayed here for a night and had a really lovely experience. The hotel is beautifully designed, the room was stylish and comfortable, and the location is ideal, right in the city but surprisingly quiet, even with the trams nearby. The staff were friendly, the bar downstairs was great for a drink, and breakfast in the morning was solid. The only small hiccup was that I'd requested a sewing kit, and it didn’t get brought up as promised, so I had to go down to reception to get it myself, which made me a bit late. I understand things get busy, though. Aside from that, everything else was great. I’ve stayed at a few Hotel Indigos and this one definitely held up, I’d be happy to stay again.”

“Perfect location for T2 … across the road, 2 minute walk and within a short 5 minute journey on the free shuttle bus to the excellent drop and go parking service A special mention to Lauren part of the Holiday Inn reception team who was very efficient, friendly and provided a first class service! A credit to the “HI Man Airport” team !!! Hotel spotless, modern and well stocked rooms … have stayed next door at Ibis (which is also a great hotel!) but for an extra £30 on this stay brekkie was included. They also have a happy hour on selected drinks and discount on food A great place to relax night before travels without the early morning stress … thanks Holiday Inn!”

“We stayed at Native Manchester for one night and I would definitely stay here again. For the price, it felt like excellent value compared to other options in the area, especially considering the size of the studio and the quality of reviews. Communication was seamless, I received WhatsApp updates throughout my journey, from details about the room number and PIN code to notifications that the room was ready and a reminder for check-out. The process was essentially self-service, though there is a reception available if needed. I found the whole system very streamlined and convenient. We parked at Dale Street car park, which cost around £20 for 24 hours, and from there it was just a short walk to the hotel. The building itself is really impressive, it used to be a cotton factory, and they’ve done a great job blending the original industrial character with modern design. We booked a studio apartment, which came with a bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. The bathroom had towels and toiletries (shampoo and shower gel), while the kitchen had all the day-to-day essentials, plus tea, coffee, and even a small bottle of milk in the fridge. There was also an iron, ironing board, and hairdryer in the room. The bed was very comfortable, big, and overall, the space felt well thought out and homely. One small piece of feedback from my partner is that a larger mirror, or a mirror in better lighting, would have been useful for doing hair and makeup. As well, it would have been useful if there was some tissues, like kitchen roll etc. All in all, the studio had everything we needed, the atmosphere was great, and I would happily recommend Native Manchester to anyone visiting the city.”
