Cozy dinner in Manchester

“Without a shadow of a doubt, the best restaurant I have ever been to. Visited on a whim last night, booked an hour before they opened and were made to feel welcome immediately. A lovely little place with absolutely fantastic food. I'm not usually the adventurous type when it comes to food, but there wasn't a single thing I didn't finish. I honestly considered licking the plates! Each dish was a masterpiece, and if perfection is lots of little things done right then they nailed it. I cannot recommend the place highly enough, please go and show this little business some support, they truly deserve it.”

“Amazing onion in toast and a great cappuccino! Highly recommended!”

“Visited today and what a fabulous suprise. So glad we found you. Wonderful atmosphere,delicious food, cakes and drinks. We will return. Highly recommended.”

“Highly recommended for dog walking and pet sitting. Just moved few months ago, and we´ve been so lucky to came across with Fraser. He is taking care of our two dogs daily for a walk and home sitting them some nights every month. Both of the dogs are rescued and it is not easy to get close to them or gain their confidence and every time they see Fraser they are happy and go to kiss him. He is got a natural affinity with dogs. He is organised and friendly and keeps communication regular which made our first days leaving them easier for us. One of the times I was away and he was pet sitting them they went stomach sick and he looked after them while keeping me updated with everything. So always know they are in safe hands with Fraser. We get peace of mind leaving our dogs with him as we know that he really cares about them.”

“The best Detroit style pizza I’ve had! Lots of halal options too!”

“Decided to try this place tonight. Totally un planned. The pizzas are amazing!! Highly recommend!!”

“Very good pizza considering that it's just a takeaway place. I would say at real italian pizzeria level. Good deals every week. I need to mention that their fries are one of the best I ever had in my life! Only little negative note, not much of vegetarian pizza flavours. I would add at least 2 more to the once that are already available.”

“***Updated review 28.08.2025*** Food still high quality, super tasty. Incredible value. The mesquite wings are the bomb. The house flavoured chips are just spot on. Theses guys know how to flavour. The dough give me a reason to live. ______________________________________________ Best pizza. Great dough base. Quality ingredients, made with care. Reasonable.”

“Absolutely gorgeous fresh steaming hot pizzas! Bang on time , Would definitely recommend this place we usually go dominos but not anymore now we have tried this place value for money and the quality is just 10/10. 2 massive pizzas just over £15”

“Never fails to disappoint. All home cooked, fresh and good portion sizes. Always a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.”

“Great little buttie van top food and lovely staff”

“I absolutely love this restaurant! I can’t find this kind of flavor anywhere else. My boyfriend and I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. The food is super DELICIOUS with truly AUTHENTIC Thai flavours. Prices are really affordable, and the staff are always so friendly. Highly recommend checking out HOT THAI—you’ll love it!”

“We have had takeaway and always enjoyed the meals, and they always arrive hot. We decided to go for lunch on a Saturday, we ordered the thali and sorry the other meal I forget the name of, it was all outstanding, very tasty....the service as always, was very friendly and welcoming...”

“✨Amazing Indian Vegetarian / Vegan Cafe✨ We visited for the first time today as my partner is obsessed with Chai at the moment. For drinks I had the biscoff coffee shake which was sensational, the coffee wasn’t too overpowering and the roast / blend choice was delicious. My partner had the home brewed Masala Chai which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the pot of tea he received was massive! (We stayed a bit longer just so he could finish it as it was that good) For mains we had the Indian breakfast muffin (vegan sausage, Indian spiced hash browns, and a bbq tamarind chutney) and the Chai Buckwheat pancakes which came with syrup and berries. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the chutney was amazing and really pulled everything together. Though I didn’t try the pancakes they were gone within minutes. Both me and my partner agreed portion sizes were bob on, we felt full without feeling overly lethargic. Though we didn’t have the opportunity to try them the cakes and Indian deli looked delicious. Our entire meal with drinks cost under £20 which I think is ridiculously reasonably priced considering the quality and portion sizes of the food and drink. (Not to mention the very quick service!) It is also worth noting they seemed to have an extensive ice cream range. All staff were super friendly, the woman serving us really seemed to care about our experience there and we were given customer service you can’t simply buy without there being a true passion for what she was serving. I would highly recommend dining here, and we look forward to visiting again.”

“First time trying polish food and defo not disappointed it was beautiful huge servings and dumplings amazing and staff very helpful on what there food was defo go again”

“Lovely butty & service. Thank you”

“Absolutely amazing wraps, healthy options. As well as some great Friday treats. Been on a number of occasions food is always amazing. Staff are so friendly.”

“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”

“As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was. Full of flavour and such a great find here in Manchester. I had ordered the egg curry along with the mushroom xacuti and loved both. The portions are also generous so would highly recommend to people who want to try goan food or just want to be reminded of back home. The couple and their family were also extremely sweet and welcoming. Will 100% order again.”

“Tucked away in Wythenshawe, near the airport, this spot is a true hidden gem. The food is superb, offering great portion sizes and outstanding value for money. What sets them apart is their dedication to authentic Thai cooking, using quality ingredients and clearly pouring their heart into every dish. For the price point, this is easily the best Thai experience in Manchester. The staff and owners are wonderfully friendly, and the service is great.”

“A few of us ate here for Sunday dinner recently. The food was lovely & there is a wide selection on the menu & we were well looked after by the staff. I would strongly advise booking.”

“Best brunch in Town. My husband and I are regular customers and always enjoyed the food and service here. Highly recommended my favourite - crispy tofu vegetarian breakfast and the Korean style boneless chicken thighs. Lovely and homely small café with hearty food.”

“Tried a jerk chicken wrap here for the first time today and it was superb! So flavourful and decent quantity. Really lovely staff.”

“We had wanted to try this place for a while but never got round to it. So glad we finally did as the food is amazing. Backed up by lovely friendly service. Great little restaurant and we’ve already been back twice. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

“Great to have the options of light, healthy Indian lunch dishes full of fabulous flavours. Lovely service too!”

“Our second visit and again, an absolutely fantastic evening! Superb food, all 3 courses were fantastic just like last time. The house red is brilliant too! The pasta and pizza were great and the ricotta cheesecake was to die for! So so good! Outdoor dinning was lovely in the courtyard. Already looking forward to going back again soon! Highly recommend, gluten free and vegan options available. Perfect for couples and families. It’s an absolute little gem!”

“Wow! Food and Service absolutely amazing. My Gyros Platter was unreal and my wife had the Kleftico which was amazing. Best food we have eaten in a long time and the owners were so welcoming. We will definitely be back.”

“Recently moved into the area and always pop in before my morning train to work. Amazing coffee & the guys are very friendly. Would highly recommend.”

“Wonderful cafe/bar in the heart of Chinley Village. Stumbled across it today and will definitely be back. I had a few craft ales but will be back for the food and coffee, looked delicious. Also can't speak highly enough of the staff. Sarah was particularly great.”

“Nipped in for a quick lunch. The owner is the friendliest lady in the world and is so on the ball even when it’s super busy. Food lovely & great selection of cakes. Been in a couple of times now and it’s always the same.”
