The 30 Best Cozy dining area in Manchester

“Lovely food, great atmosphere and it's doggy friendly which is perfect, the only thing we dint see was a car park, but we just parked up at Tesco and walked up like not even 5 minutes, so wasn't a big issue, definitely going their again when we come back to visit :)”

“I have been at Twinnies, such a beautiful place to eat brunch with family or friends. The decor is spot on. The food was fresh and delicious. Customer service is fantastic, I would highly recommend this place.”

“Super Smash makes amazing burgers! We tried the Pachos Smash Up, Juicy Lois, and the Original Crispy Chicken Burger. The Pachos Smash Up was our favourite, crispy chicken and juicy beef in one burger! Everything here is fresh because they grind their own meat and mix it themselves. You can really taste the difference. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I didnt realise this place existed, but so glad we took a chance on booking in with a couple of friends. The food was excellent, service good, extensive wine list. Good parking. Highly recommend”

“Forget the unhealthy McDonald’s and KFC nearby this is where you want to be eating! Super tasty authentic Thai food. Quick, easy and Healthy! Could do with a little smartening up but don’t let that put you off the food is amazing.!”

“I ordered masala dosa. We were delighted by the authentic South Indian cuisines. The spices and flavors were extremely impressive with the food.will definitely order again”

“Just a quick stop for us but the cakes were delicious and huge, and the pot of tea was also lovely. Staff were extremely friendly and got out a highchair for our baby.”

“Quality food. Great staff. Very friendly.”

“Abdulwasie Ahmad Marsa Café A Taste of Joy! Spectacular flavours, top-notch service, and an atmosphere that feels like a dream. It is easy to see mouthwatering dishes and the most joyful, amazing coffee you’ll ever taste. Every sip, every bite—pure happiness!”

“The best cafe in the area, the food is amazing, great variety, freshly prepared. Very good prices, staff always so friendly. I really should go more often”

“Had an amazing Xmas lunch today at the lounge cafe thank you to all the ladies for great food and service at amazing price.”

“Cute little cafe, lovely food and amazing ice cream! Very friendly staff and plenty of options for every occasion? Will definitely be back to Just-Ice!”

“Visit here regular, with my girlfriend. As she rides her horses past this hidden gem! The food is always piping hot and the cakes…. They’re exceptional Wow I’ll leave that there. The drinks are made to exactly how you ask! I always have coconut milk and there’s no questions asked! The owners Dane and Jenny are so friendly and down to earth. Can’t fault it”

“We visit this cafe on our lunch breaks a lot and the owners cannot do enough for you. Always makes whatever you ask and nothing is any trouble. Food always spot on!!!”

“Had the full English breakfast as did hubbie - quality ingredients, non greasy, cooked to perfection. Daughter had steak baguette and sil salmon with scrambled eggs. All of the food was delicious, served hot and well presented. Service good and considering the quality / portion sizes good value.”

“Absolute gem of a place. Stumbled across it whilst looking for some chips for my son after visiting the nearby park. The place was really cosy and staff very friendly. I can't believe how cheap the prices are. Portion size was huge. Food was fresh, tasty and hot. Had a lovely fireplace and toys for children to play with. I ordered for takeout but you can dine in.”

“Thank you to Neil and Tim for allowing my mothers birthday party to be held in the hall. The party could not have gone any better and Tim was on hand to help out with anything. I moved away from Withington many years ago but such a shame that we did not have a venue like this whilst I was there. Nothing was too much for Tim to do for us at the party. Thank you again for everything. My mum had such a fantastic time and could only compliment the staff for everything that they did. Absolutely 5 star review!!!”

“Honest people and very friendly. I ordered a white ottoman gloss bed and a 250cm wardrobe and it was all so reasonably priced and fixed by them. Shabir and Sajid are kind humans and very honest. They rest assured me that if there are any problems they are a call away. They even helped me try to fix a dining table which I had lost the screws to through moving even thought it was not purchased in their shop. I will be buying all my furniture from here and I highly recommend them if you want good quality, great service, and above all a good price.”

“We visited last weekend with family and friends for a birthday meal and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed – and that was entirely thanks to our waitress Nicole( I believe that was her name). She greeted us with the kind of warm, natural smile that instantly makes you feel like you’ve chosen the right place for dinner. Nicole’s service was impeccable from start to finish. She struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering, somehow anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Water glasses never dipped below half, orders were double-checked for accuracy. What impressed me most was Nicole’s genuine enthusiasm for the menu. She offered thoughtful recommendations based on our tastes and described each dish with detail – and she was spot-on every time. It’s clear she knows and loves the food here, and that passion is contagious. Beyond the technical side of service, Nicole made the evening memorable with her personable nature. She engaged with us in a way that felt friendly and sincere, not scripted. By the end of the night, we felt less like customers and more like welcomed guests. If you visit, you’re in for a treat no matter what you order – but if you’re lucky enough to have Nicole as your server, you’re guaranteed a truly exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her by name.”

“Called in for the first time this morning and was very impressed. Friendly greeting from all the team (most places you hardly get a grunt nowadays). The flat white was very smooth indeed. Highly recommend the place. Good luck and keep up the excellent customer service”

“Absolutely fantastic place, probably the best Italian restaurant I have been to. Been a few times now and never disappointed. Very attentive staff, gorgeous food and a really lovely environment to be in. It's relatively small so booking ahead is recommended and definitely worth it.”

“The staff are amazing people, very polite and friendly. The food came out at a rapid speed. They recommended me to try some food and the food was unbelievable; you could taste every flavour. By far the best restaurant/takeaway in Bolton and I will definitely be going again.”

“This cafe is the best cafe I’ve been to. The staff is amazing with my son and always have a good chat when we go. We normally go every weekend and the food is 10/10. Thank you so much for being friendly having amazing food and being the best cafe in Mossley. ❤️❤️❤️”

“I had to write this review straight away, as it was such a pleasure to visit a pub where we were met so warmly, the cask beer range produced in house is excellent ( Tried two & both very drinkable & very reasonably priced ) It was just a shame I had a train to catch otherwise I would have stayed! I will definitely be back & can only recommend! (Trains roughly every half hour from Manchester lovely small beer garden which is a sun trap!”

“Best takeaway burger I’ve ever had! Fresh ingredients, delicious and piping hot when it arrived! It did come a bit late, but they definitely made up for it with a few freebies. The owner even went out of his way to hand deliver the food.”

“Delicious blend of “junk" food with a healthy dose of veggies. Perfect mix of protein, carbs, and greens. Great value, too. Pictured: Panko Box.”

“Fantastic food in the most unassuming place and location. The whole experience was smooth and food wasn't too spicy. What they have classed as 3 peppers out of 5 - I found rather mild. Really like the medium of building your own custom plate. It's a novelty, but very refreshing idea and gives you opportunity to taste a few things at once without spending crazy money on a single meal.”

“First time trying this place, it won't be the last, amazing food with good portion size. Abdul served us and was very friendly and helpful with our choice of food. Definitely be back for more.”

“1st time visiting last night (saturday). Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly staff and excellent food. Definitely be visiting again.”

“Food was fantastic here! And the service was amazing, I would recommend the famous lamb meatballs, but everything we had. Was great and prices are great value for money and what you expect for such high quality food!”
