Friendly inviting ambiance in Manchester

“A serious specialty coffee shop—just how I like it. They serve premium beans for both filter and espresso, and the staff is exceptionally kind and knowledgeable”

“Came here for our anniversary meal and it honestly was the best meal we have had! The staff were incredible throughout the night, and whilst we didn’t get their names, the young, blonde lady and the middle aged, olive skinned gentleman who served us a glass of bubbly each were amazing. The food is to die for and trust me you will not be going hungry when you leave. Thank you for making our night an unforgettable experience!”

“Cocktails were 10/10!! It’s hard to make a delicious Pornstar Martini but they so good we went back for seconds!! Lovely atmosphere and our server V was very friendly and made the best cocktails! Cant wait to go back! So good to have a local fab cocktail bar!!”

“Probably the best coffee place in Manchester, I go out of my way to get a mocha here. Really good and flavourful coffee that is well priced for central Manchester, nice vibes and place to chill though it is quite small so seating is limited especially if you want a table. Baristas are nice and knowledgeable about all the difference beans as well”

“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.”

“Mr. Zeeshan provided exceptional service, ensuring a positive experience. The cuisine was outstanding, offering a diverse selection of choices at reasonable price points.”

“A lively rock bar selling great food and drinks. Great decor, neon signs and some good rock tunes playin too. We went for a rock n roll bingo night, you get tickets online ours were £12 each. Its unreserved seating so if your in a group get there early. Its a really great night, winning free shots and dancing yo the tunes.”

“***CASH ONLY*** Great little food van serving delicious Jian Bing pancakes. The portion sizes are pretty decent and they'll accommodate your spice tastes (I had mine extra spicy and it didn't disappoint).”

“We had a really tasty lunch. Bao buns, gyoza. ramen, and a desert of fried banana and ice cream - a coffee. Really good. The service was fantastic. I went with an older person who ate slowly. The server was really patient and supportive, not a hint of pressure for us to hurry. The woman Sol? couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you!”

“Very highly recommended. This has to be the nicest Indian meal I’ve had in a very long time. Brilliant service from very helpful, friendly staff, it’s also reasonably priced. Piping hot food that is of a high standard. The portions aren’t too big, but enough to be able to enjoy everything we ordered. The garlic naan is so good, as are the curries. Very clean throughout, including the toilets, which I find incredibly important.”

“I'm a tourist from Australia we found Zizzi 3 months ago and love it. The food is great , the app and perks are fun and we get value for our money. Well done. Thanks to Tanmay for his friendliness.:)”

“There was a whole range of different dazzling jewellery to choose from making my journey worth it. The service was also great especially from Claire as she helped and recommended me a few products that would be perfect for Christmas presents! I would definitely come here again to shop for jewellery! I would recommend this place for everyone!”

“The wait is a little long to get served the food (approx 40 minutes) however, this is worth every second. Food is very flavoursome, hearty and big portions for what you pay. Everything is well made, seasoned and fresh. The baller’s combo was £25 at the time of this review and is almost big enough for 2 people.”

“I have been ordering from Domino's - Eccles for the past three years. Let me tell you this - whoever is building these pizzas isn't playing. I customise my own with 5 or 7 toppings. Usually, when you do this in other places, the pizza guys are very scarce about the toppings - one or two olives here, two or three green peppers there, and if you look closely you might find the extra mushroom you've paid for. But not Domino's Eccles. Just see the pictures attached - these have been taken at different times, from different pizzas. The toppings are abundant, the pizza always arrives hot and fresh, I have never had an issue with these people before but I have had with other places. So I don't understand the bad reviews. But take it from someone who loves their pizza - it's worth it.”

“This place thinks they can serve pizza like this and mince pies soggy too”

“Pretty little hotel on country road”

“Can’t recommend a visit to Dot enough! I’ve been a client of Rachel’s for a few years now and I’ve never been happier with my hair cut and colour. It’s such a chilled, comfy environment too, perfect for people who want to be pampered but want a more relaxing experience compared to a busy, packed salon. Rachel is so friendly and makes you feel at home, you can really see the love and care that’s gone into making Dot a salon and above all she’s so talented and always gives me exactly what I wanted with my cut and colour. Always super happy with my hair and now amazing nail art too! Best salon experience I’ve ever had ✨”

“Tried the Le Montparnasse French Tacos at Paris Express with my wife yesterday, and it hit the spot! The mix of beef patty, smoked chicken, melted cheddar, cooked onions sauce, and salad was on point. Good portions, great ambiance and friendly staff. Definitely a solid choice for a tasty and reliable meal! Highly recommended! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We are so lucky that Fiona was recommended to us. She has been walking our puppy, Watson, since he was 12 weeks old and we couldn't be happier with the service she provides. It's a relief to know that he is being cared for so well while we are at work. We look forward to receiving our notes from Fiona each day about how he's been doing and she's always on hand with advice if we need it.”

“Cute, charming, and so friendly - I’ll definitely be back. (Psst - try the bacon sarnie on sourdough!)”

“Amazing food. Came for the first time last night ordered the King Prawns (biggest and best I’ve had) and a mixed grill and wow the meat was cooked beautiful so soft and flavourful. I’m already thinking of when I can come back.”

“This place is a gem. Anyone travelling in Manchester and looking for deshi breakfast like ourselves look no further. They have huge variety of breakfast and drinks and their deshi chai is a must try. High-quality delicious food, good vibes and the gentle man at the counter was very friendly. Highly recommend ❤️❤️”

“As someone with curly hair, it's hard to find people who understand how to cut curls proper. Was pleased to find Melissa Timperly Salon where every stylist is trained and well versed in cutting and styling curly hair. Shauna took her time with me to understand my hair inspiration and what I was trying to achieve. Was kind and understanding that appointments elsewhere had left me with less than desirable outcomes. Was mindful to check in with me throughout appointment to ensure I was leaving with results I wanted. Very pleased with my hair color and the cut. Will definitely be back for Shauna again! Each member of staff was friendly and welcoming, building is secure, entire salon was bright and clean.”

“Visited last night for the first time, what a great relaxed venue! The knowledge and advice on the wine was amazing, we tried the mystery reserve wine (red and white) which was great! Definitely visit if you are in West Didsbury”

“Ryan has been cutting my hair for 10 years. When he opened Smoke and Mirrors I moved with him which shows my support for a 5 star rating! Friendly, relaxed guy on top of a quality barber making it an enjoyable experience. Charlie is new, also top barber and nice guy.”
