Culinary delight in Manchester

“I can’t thank this place enough! My car broke down on the motorway and I ended up just outside the restaurant. My phone was dead, and they kindly let me charge it inside. Parking is a big issue in the area because of a nearby concert, but they found a space for me and let me leave my car there overnight. They even gave me food while I waited — and Mr. Shah refused to take any money for it. I honestly can’t explain how grateful and happy I am. The kindness and generosity they showed me was incredible. Truly amazing people — thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

“Really enjoyed my visit to Shakedown Wythenshawe. The Beefed Up was absolutely delicious, one of the best I’ve had! Big shout out to Mr Saqib for being so friendly and making the experience even better.”

“What is not to like! Great food, quick service, good prices...... all with a smiling Nila behind the face of the business! This is a frequent place for me and a number of my collegues to go for lunch and I cannot recommend it enough. I would suggest getting the mixed curries to take advantage of as much of the menu as possible.”

“Really good and tasty 1million percent recommend.”

“Our waitress was superb, fun, friendly and helpful. It is good staff that help make for an enjoyable meal. The food was fine too!”

“Outstanding! Freshly prepared, authentic, wonderfully tasty food - restaurant-quality dishes, amazing flavours... It took us a while to try Armenian Grill House as, compared to take away pizza or chicken, the prices appear a bit high. But I really wish we'd given them a try earlier, because their fabulous food is worth every penny. Highly recommended!! They will be out go-to take-out from now on!”

“First time ordered, very nice food. Ontime delibery.”

“The food here is absolutely delicious. Great menu to choose from. The brilliant service is a bonus.”

“Our wedding at the Bellavista was perfect!! I would personally like to thank Gemma the wedding planner who from the initial meet to final moments on the day has been brilliant. She was always there to answer any questions and always replied promptly. Gemma recommended the best suppliers to work with and organised everything perfectly. The wedding was 2 days ago and people are still talking about how good the food was, the canapés were a great hit and the Italian buffet was gorgeous. Everything ran smoothly throughout the day and we couldn’t have asked for more.”

“We arrived at the restaurant on Sunday and were greeted so warmly by the host/manager. We have been a few times to this restaurant and the bar staff recognised us which was so lovely, recognition from staff goes a long way and made us feel so warm and welcome! Drinks arrived so quickly and he even remembered what we had last time we visited which was incredible service from him. The cocktails didn’t disappoint. The service was unbelievable, at no point did we have to ask for drinks order or food order to be taken. They’re incredibly attentive here. The food is artwork, it is so fresh and home made which is exactly what you want in a lovely independent restaurant. The lighting was perfect and the music fitted the restaurant aesthetic and the time of day we arrived. I can’t fault this place whatsoever, can’t recommend it enough.”

“Delicious food, quick service, an excellent quality and quantum.”

“Favourite chippy. Love the food. Been coming here for years. Dan and his family are friendly and provide a great service.”

“Amazing hot fresh food as always 10/10”

“Been here a few times to eat now, the food is amazing everything so full of flavour and taste. The seating area is good, may feel cramped at busy times but the service is still on point and the food is always above standards. Very good decent size portions and the prices are decent also. Mix kebabs are my favourite and the drinks, good selection available and worth the money. Family platter is also very good to have here, nicely presented and plenty of flavour. Definitely recommend eating in here, they do deliveries but best to go in and eat fresh off the grill. Excellent place amazing food, friendly staff.”

“A really good afternoon spent here. Great food and lots of it. Sat outside in the lovely weather helped. Staff great.”

“I came today and had a latte to stay in and it was an amazing Latte. I recommend this place.”

“Amazing tea and donuts, best tea place in Oldham. Wish there was a sitting place.”

“We came on a Sunday, having been to an event in Manchester the night before. Looked this place up online for being open, having a good menu, and for being accessible as I was on crutches and wearing a surgical boot. All the boxes were ticked, and the welcome was brilliant, the lady owner was a lovely smiling hostess. The food was good, served quickly, piping hot and just what we wanted. Even on a Sunday, sited in a mainly industrial area, the cafe was busy and it is probably packed during the week. Lots of lovely thoughtful touches. All round, a great choice. Thank you”

“When have a fabulous time and since the refurb it looks gorgeous and great food. Will definitely be returning.”

“The food is SO good. I can’t recommend the truffle and mushroom sauce enough. The fries are perfectly crispy and the steak is so juicy, I’d only like it a touch rarer when I request it as so.”

“I know people normally post a photo of their food and how amazing it looks, but to be honest here is my photo of my cleaned dish. SIMPLY because the food was bloody gorgeous and it was ate that quickly we forgot to take a before photo!! Sunitha has created a gorgeous menu with her team. The food is cooked in view and it tastes fantastic. If you are looking for something with a slightly different twist then yes come here.”

“The food is amazing. Their meal deals are extremely competitive. 2 donnor kebabs, chips, a garlic bread and 2 drinks for 15.99. Amazing value. The food is really well done, and very tasty. You cannot go wrong for the price. I really cannot find a point to complain on, maybe other than parking is hard, that's it. Really nice food, cheery staff.”

“This was my second visit and the food / service was just as consistent as my first visit. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Manchester. The service is excellent with incredible food. It is true Italian quality and taste. I will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend this to all. Thanks for a great evening.”

“Great food, portion sizes and price. Paper bags are appreciated, and fruit juice - so many places fizzy drinks are the only option but not here. Doner kebab is full of meat (never has bones in it) and the salad is always fresh. Fries are always seasoned nicely. Chicken wrap is also full of meat. This is the go to chicken shop on langworthy”

“Two excellent curries (chicken tikka marsala and medium veg) and two excellent rices (prawn biriani and mushroom pillau). Great sized portions too. Top Topii is definite for next time we're in New Mills!”

“I went to this restaurant which was a very nice place to dine. I had the lamb casserole which was delicious and was served with rice and side salad with a nice glaze over the top. Besides the top notch food, the lovely server, Youssef, was very friendly, served with a smile and was happy to help with all enquiries. A nice place to eat, the only downside was due to attending on a weekday night, there was not much of a customer atmosphere. There was a nice background music playing and the restaurant was very well lit with some lovely wall decor. 9/10 would recommend and will be re-attending”

“Needed a new takeaway as a lot have really gone down hill in Tameside. Tried herb and spice and never looked back. Curries and tandoori starter was amazing. The lamb is delicious, best I’ve tasted. Keep up the good food and we’ll keep coming back!”

“Food was absolutely amazing. We give up on curry’s after having so many bad ones. My daughter goes to the nursery next door and we have said we need to try sheikhs. So glad we did. Fantastic staff and the best curry/food we have had out for a long time. Definitely our new Thursday treat”

“Probably the best food I've tasted since my mum past away. Good quality good prices and options and very friendly delivery staff. I highly recommend you try this takeaway. The lamb dinner last night was heavenly. Thanks guys from alison gittens at rock st Oldham.”

“The pad kra pao beef is exquisite and consistently delicious. Spicy, juicy, packed full of flavour. It never disappoints and is my go to order. I really want the recipe”
