Fine dining experience in Stockport

“Great food and brilliant service from the staff would highly recommend”

“11 of us visited on the 20/06/25 for a birthday meal. I hadn't eaten from the Spice Tower for over 6 years when it was under previous management following a poor takeaway. WOW it has changed. I had a takeaway a few weeks ago to test it out before booking for my stepsons birthday meal out and loved it. The family attended for said birthday last night and everybody agreed that the food was delicious and the service great. I personally had the tamarind prawns to start and the chum chum mix for main and couldn't fault it. Great value for money to. I think I've found a new favourite.”

“Great pub, great food. Been here a few times to dine all of which were great, most recently yesterday. Staff are friendly and helpful and always accommodating. The pub area is dog friendly with a log fire warming the pub, the restaurant is in the conservatory. Not been in the beer garden but it looks very spacious. The food is slightly more expensive than other pubs however the quality of food, venue and service justify this fairly.”

“I went to this restaurant last week and absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The prices are really reasonable too, which is why I came back again today. Lovely Iranian hospitality — can’t wait to visit again!”

“Family meal for a group of 8. Staff were very welcoming and the place looks great. I was initially a bit concerned as not many people were present….but this soon changed Staff were great, welcoming and very attentive….informed food was halal Food was served pretty quickly…..garlic butter prawns are a must for starters….the butter was amazing….lamb shank was great and the mixed grill was good too…..great classy venue …you won’t be disappointed”

“Always hot, freshly cooked food. Good portion sizes, lovely staff.”

“Tried the pie menu, first time I’ve had food in here since the refurbishment and omg am I glad I came! As always the staff and atmosphere were lovely, the food for under £15 was top tier. Really enjoyed the pie I had and the food! Would recommend, so glad this local is on my doorstep will be eating from the new menu again ❤️”

“Lovely staff, fantastic food, nice atmosphere :)”

“Best club sandwich I have had. The staff were very friendly. Very clean place.”

“What a beautiful pub!! We first discovered stockport for afternoon drinking ( before lockdown) from a trip out with our local historian and Sentinel writer Mervyn Edwards.. we fell in love with the preserved Victorian history and friendly locals...since then we travel from stoke and stay over regularly. This visit I particularly wanted to discover the Star and Garter. Stunning building...on entrance we were warmly welcomed by barman Craig.. it was fascinating to learn about the pubs history and Craig's family working within the pub trade for generations. Of course we enjoyed Robinsons Iron Maiden bitter.. a perfect pint..a creamy head all the way down the glass! A cash only pub... my husband always supports Cash is King ! A lovely traditional friendly local pub.. we'll definitely visit again.”

“Friendly atmosphere, good prices, nice snooker tables”

“About to embark on a weight loss journey. I ordered my last takeaway for a long while; and well it was the best kebab I’ve ever eaten, and cheesy chips too! Highly recommend.”

“Food is absolutely first rate. The chicken tandoori spinach is a personal favourite. Fantastic service highly recommend! I either phone or simply go down and order, I usually collect as the staff are so friendly”

“Just ordered takeout from Royal Spice for the first time. Ordered direct with them rather than through 3rd party apps. Food came within 40 mins and was probably the best curry we’ve had on takeout for a long time. We ordered the set meal for two. Really tasty food and will definitely be ordering from them again.”

“This place is absolutely amazing, the food is just simply stunning, proper authentic Indian cuisine, amazing value for money and fantastic staff, superb, definitely my favourite curry place in Manchester.. If you like curry dont hesitate you MUST try this place”

“Superb food , great service. Never had any issues..Amazing Indian. Best in the area! 5 stars.Take your own booze in....bonus!!!Thanks for a great evening. Phil and Shelley x”

“This is one of the best pubs in the area. I have been going here on and off since way before it was renovated last time and Julie and her team work hard to make this a fun and welcoming place to go. There is no food but the cost of a pint is reasonable, has live music every weekend, has a small enclosed outdoor area and you are not constantly looking over your shoulder. How often do you hear the words “We have had to shut the front door as we are full” in pubs any more! Keep up the good work Julie.”

“Nice pub, just taken over by a new landlady who is very friendly and welcoming.”

“Went to collect a 2Good2Go and was all good.”

“Everybody loves a good Chinese take away. With a few Chinese restaurants offered in the area, I can say that this is by far the BEST within a 3 mile radius! Wether you are travelling to pick up, or even waiting over an hour for delivery, it is definitely worth the wait. We ordered sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice, Prawn toast, sticky beef, ribs and veg spring rolls... all were absolutely bloody delicious. I don't usually like Prawn toast, but woah, those were so *input curse word here for emphasis* good! The crunch, the taste & the sweet and sour sauce to complement were *chef kiss*. My favourite though was the sweet and sour pork. Gosh. I can't even explain it. Over the years I've had sweet and sour pork from so many places, but that.... that was absolute heaven in a box. The pricing for the dishes weren't extortionate at all. It's what you'll expect to pay for a takeaway... we had left overs and still tasted delicious heated up. We will definitely be returning. 100/10 will recommend as this place was recommended to us.”

“Great food with a homely taste and affordable price. Worth trying We went as a group of 4 and tried pothi chor, chatti chor, kappa biriyani, appam and chicken stew. The rice dishes are really good and taste really fresh. Also tried their tea, coffee and lime juice.all were nice and the portion size meals and drinks are great. The service and the friendly attitude of the staff were amazing.”

“The portions are super generous, and it tastes amazing!”

“Been coming in the George for few weeks now after not being here for couple of years. Food menu has changed and is really good. Two meals for £12 on certain days. Can not complain one bit. Bar staff actually have a smile on their faces and make you feel welcome. Quiz nights music pool table live football all a bonus. Dog friendly”

“Lovely food, great service, freindly staff.”

“Fresh tasty pizza great cheese pull too”

“Best Italian take away I have ever had! Best take away of any kind I have had in a long time! Quality of ingredients delivery and standard of a very good restaurant. Hope it lasts as a business in these difficult times”

“Myself and friends had a marvellous few hours in the beer garden yesterday ~ the food was delicious and the beer was great. Would also like to mention how lovely the staff are, particularly lovely George”

“Great food, we had the mlnted lamb pie. I have a good appetite but the pie had me beat, asked for a doggy bag to bring home the rest. My dog Cindy enjoyed what I could not finish. Top marks for service in this child friendly bar.”

“Desi Style Takeaway in Manchester is an absolute gem for anyone craving real Desi comfort food. The flavours are spot-on — rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the freshness in every dish. Their biryani is one of the best in town — full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The grilled items, especially the seekh kebabs and chicken tikka, are juicy and full of that smoky, traditional taste. The naan is always fresh and soft, just the way it should be. Service is quick and friendly, and the portions are generous for the price. It’s clear the team takes pride in serving proper Desi-style food, not watered-down versions. If you’re in Manchester and craving authentic Desi takeaway, this place should be at the top of your list!”
