“Amazing food, All employees were generate and accommodating”

“Excellent service, food superb, Sunday lunch tempura tiger prawns best I've ever had. Roast beef medium rare was divine. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing. Every time I’m in Manchester I come here. Food is always flavourful, curries and sauces are to die for and I’ve never been dissatisfied. Bread is the perfect texture and has a fantastic fermented flavour :) Price is just right for what you’re getting and the portions are great! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Ethiopian or to anyone who’s looking for it in Manchester. Very very good eat Make sure you have an Ethiopian beer and a cinnamon tea at the end, it is really worth it!”

“I'd highly recommend eating at the Clink, the food was great and it was for a good cause. We would visit again if we're in the area. Perfect if you're visiting Quarry Bank. We had a lovely Sunday dinner here, with the lovely veg and roasties. The charred mackeral starter was marvellous, as was the panna cotta. The staff were pleasant, with great service and reasonable prices. Good toilet facilties, including disabled loo. Access ramp in place for wheeled entry, terrain mostly flat with parking located near the entrance”

“We had our first meal at this restaurant tonight and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff who were attentive to our needs. A really nice touch was when the chef came out of the kitchen to ask us how our food was. This is something I've only seen on TV before, but it was a really personal and thoughtful gesture that made me feel valued as a customer. The food was also delicious and flavorful. We had pizza, carbonara and risotto and they were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling satisfied but not overstuffed. We also had the tiramisu and chocolate fudge cake both were delicious. The price of the food is a little bit higher than some other restaurants I've been to, but I think it's worth it for the quality of the food and the excellent service. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!”

“Great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere! Andrea and Paolo, the owners, are friendly and approachable, and Gianni, the chef, is truly one of the best. Highly recommended!”

“We booked initially for 10 people but then added an extra 9. The restaurant were very accommodating and did everything to ensure we had the best night. We pre-ordered our food so everything was ready together - one of our party even said how great it was doing the pre-order so we could just enjoy our evening. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and were able to put up a banner and take balloons. The staff were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Now onto the food- which was delicious. All dishes were presented well and were very fresh and tasty - which is how I expect Mediterranean food to be. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly and from what the rest of the party said - their dishes were amazing too. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back. Massive thanks to Mina who did a fantastic job of looking after us.”

“The perfect match was a new place, recommended by our friends and it was a very pleasant surprise! The food was top notch, the wine pairings complimented the dishes impeccably, the service was perfect and the overall experience certainly worth the price. We chose the a la carte menu but we will be going back for the taster menu very soon. 2 starters, 2 mains with 2 side dishes, along with 2 desserts with their desert wine pairings went for around £70 pp which for the experience and quality was beyond worth it.”

“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.!”

“Magnificent meal to celebrate a birthday. Extremely friendly and attentive staff, and food so delicious, we’ve been dreaming about it all again today. We had the lamb birria taco (to die for!!) and a sharing tray of meats. Highly recommended, with excellent music & strong cocktails to boot. We will be back for sure! Thank you all for a wonderful evening meal”

“The rice is fragrant, the chicken is tender, and the butter chicken is creamy! The veggies are super flavourful and I like the tomato base My only gripe is the samosa- a bit too meaty but not enough flavour, otherwise it's overall a nice experience”

“Indian Affair is hands down my favourite spot for Indian food in Chorlton - I come here regularly and always leave full & happy. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. My go-to order is Butter Chicken with their garlic naan and perfectly cooked pilau rice. The Lamb Nihari is another favourite - rich, tender and a great portion size! And if you love street food-style starters, the Samosa Chaat is a must-try. On top of the amazing food, the prices are really reasonable for the quality you get. Whether you’re dining in or getting a takeaway, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend checking this place out!”

“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”

“A food truck with a 4-seater table along a not too busy street. The food is prepared by two friendly Thai ladies and the taste is authentic. Pad thai is only £6 for lunch. It is hot and delicious at good portion! It is even tastier than many Thai restaurants I have tried before. What a surprise! People are mainly ordering takeaway.”

“Came here after reading reviews. We ordered wonton/ dumpling soup, Beef ho fun, salt and pepper tofu and mixed vegetables. The dumplings and wonton are huge in a well flavoured broth. The beef ho fun was nice. Loved the salt and pepper tofu. It was very light and crunchy. The ladies working there are very friendly and nice. A lot of Asians come here so you can tell it’s good food. Very extensive menu for a small eatery I would book at busier times. We came late afternoon. Next time will come earlier as they had already run out of roast duck and char Siu”

“Really enjoyed the food and coffee, didn't try the cake as the new girl forgot to come back over with the options.”

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”

“Thank you, Renata, for inviting us to this Christmas princess party to sing and play with all the kids. Thank you for trusting us and supporting our team in developing a playgroup. It was a really good experience. The place is like a dream come true. When you enter, you will think you have entered a castle. We never thought we would have this opportunity to work with such a wonderful playroom. Their food is amazing, and they put in full effort to make all the guests feel welcome and comfortable. We highly recommend working with them and visiting this lovely place.”

“We ordered some food to celebrate St Valentine. We enjoyed it very much. Everything was cooked to perfection and we were very happy with our choice. This was our first ever visit but surely will not be the last. Very friendly and smiley people. They even threw in a gift, Italian made grilled aubergine.”

“We ordered from Homeboys and were blown away. The fries were golden and crispy, the garlic bread was perfectly buttery with just the right amount of bite — but the star of the show was the Fresh Boy Pizza. That pesto? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavour. Every bite was a winner. You can tell real care goes into their food. Can’t wait to order again”

“Seating is available upstairs and downstairs . Welcoming atmosphere . Good selection of Mediterranean based food , which was so good ! And beautifully presented . The waiters are brilliant , attentive, and knowledgeable with what the restaurant has to offer, we couldn't fault anything , we will definitely be going back 10/10”

“Amazing! We went last week and could not fault it. My only regret is not going sooner. The prawns and Carbonara were incredible - highly highly recommend! Very reasonably priced as well :)”

“Delicious bagels with wonderful fresh ingredients. Service is lovely and welcoming. Amazing place to pop in for a morning coffee, brunch, lunch or an afternoon sweet treat. Delish!!!”

“We decided the kitchen would be closed today so ordered out. Brief conversation on messenger and order placed. The food that came was brilliant. Really tasty and well cooked Definitely recommended”

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

“absolutely amazing food amazing serving sizes. very friendly staff and clean restaurant”

“Fresh and delicious food, the mixed mezze platter definitely a standout. Service very friendly too and BYOB”

“Located in the Hyatt Hotel and operated by them. You can choose from the bar and restaurant menu so a decent choice. Waiting staff were excellent, as was the food. With drinks, expect to pay at least 30 a head for a main and a drink. They add 12pct on top for service FYI. Did I say the food was delicious?”
