Cuisine cafe in Manchester

“Fuel never disappoints me in the 5 years I've been in and out, every time I'm back in Manchester I absolutely have to visit. some food items are absolutely delicious and other merely very good (the pakoras and chips are delightful) haha the staff is always lovely and the atmosphere never fails to feel inclusive and homey. great gigs too!!”

“This is an absolute treat! Instead of being in France due to industrial action, we sought to bring France to us and so glad we did. The food was high quality and in comfortable surroundings. Steak tartare as good as I have ever had (minus the egg yolk, because this in Britain!). A touch on the pricey side, but in this particular case, you do get what you pay for. Very good”

“Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Very friendly people as well.”

“It was a fantastic time we had, and the staff was ever so helpful and pleasant! Really nice atmosphere too. The meals were gorgeous, we are sure to go back soon for more!”

“Choice of 3 curries with rice. Perfect for lunchtime snack. Authentic food that tastes like home cooking.”

“Tried the Dahi Poori, Tandoori Lamb Loin Chops, Moradabadi Chicken Biryani and Mango Lassi. Everything tasted delicious. If l was to nitpick I’d have liked a little more lamb for a £15.95 starter. Service was attentive. Definitely try the Biryani one of the better variants.”

“We visited for the first time on Saturday 8th November 2025 and we were served by Simona. She couldn’t have been more attentive. The service provided was excellent and right up there with the food. I had the arancini and the carbonara with sides of tenderstem broccoli and rocket. My partner had the scarpetta and lasagne. We both really enjoyed the food, particularly the dishes I picked. Simona kindly made me aware that the carbonara was traditional and not cooked with cream, which is what I expected but I do know people who have eaten a version of “carbonara” with cream who would definitely appreciate this information for their knowledge and to be aware of what they were ordering. Despite our table being booked for 7pm on a Saturday and the restaurant being very busy, we did not wait long to be served or for our food to come out. It was all well presented and perfectly cooked. I’ve already recommended a number of people to visit since our meal and we will definitely return next time we’re in Manchester.”

“Excellent food from an extensive menu, at a reasonable price. A warm , friendly & welcoming atmosphere. Clean, bright & cosy establishment. Best egg & bacon hotties in Oldham.”

“A fabulous breakfast place eat in or takeaway. They are always busy but the staff are super efficient. My favourite is sausage on toast! Have also indulges in the full English and that's fab, couldn't work after eating it though!!!!!”

“Friendly, quick service with a smile. Good cup of coffee. Had the coffee sat outside overlooking the lake. Very relaxing. Well worth checking out the café and park.”

“Not been for seven years but had spaghetti Bolognese. It was lovely as usual. I used to have it regularly.”

“I came across this coffee and was very surprised by the quality and the taste of the food. The owners are very nice and very welcoming, she made me the best cappuccino ever. They do a mix between Albanian and English food which was delicious. Very clean place, I recommend !”

“Absolutely the best place around!! The people are soo nice and the food is always so delicious and super cheap!! full breakfast for 5.50! U cant get better than that. I always come here after the gym to have my food and I absolutely love it.”

“Good for coeliacs. We have been here twice now to get my son some dinner and they was able to provide us a kids dinner, butty, crisp, and home made cake/brownie with a drink. Good when we only live round the corner and can find something convenient for him. They really have thought about alot off people this cafe, people that are not able to talk or write are able to place pictures onto the menu to show what they want. Good community cafe.”

“Food was gorgeous really tasty ,served quickly”

“The waiter was lovely treated us very nicely. The atmosphere was perfect low level chatter no one being to loud and this meant we could have our own conversation with no one listening. The food was so warming and really filled me up for the price.”

“Amazing atmosphere and great Customer service, food is well presented and great value for money, the range of food is comprehensive. They also do too good to go bags and you get a great deal at less than £4!!! Can't wait to go again”

“Beautiful restaurant, all decorated fir valentines. We had 3 course set meal which was delicious. We ended up taking some of the sharing platter home as we just didn't have room. Staff were very welcoming and attentive so defo 10/10. X”

“Was great food service and atmosphere”

“My mum and I visited the farm shop and cafe and had afternoon tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. They provided great veggie options and it was overall delicious. You could add on a glass of Prosecco or a larger for an additional cost also. The crockery was lovely and the staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend !”

“I have eaten here several times the food is always great. Quick and friendly service and right on our doorstep. We will continue to come here.”
