Friendly restaurant in Manchester

“The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and they made us feel right at home. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality, and the whole experience felt like true value for money. This is definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic, well-prepared Italian food. I’ll absolutely be coming back!”

“Very good. Spicy dipped burgers top class. Every time you order fries they are made fresh which is a nice touch. Pizzas are also excellent. I forgot my change on my first visit and the staff tracked me down on Stockport Road to give me it. There's literally nothing negative I can say about this place.”

“It was my first teppanyaki experience and I absolutely loved it. The food and service was great. The chefs were really entertaining and it was fascinating to see the food being prepared. I will definitely go back.”

“We love coming here for the hot pot! We spend a few hours chatting, eating and drinking tea and always have a great time! The soup is flavourful and the options are very good! Lots of fresh vegetables and meats - The staff are always very nice and attentive and the manager/owner is great! I reached my personal best of a measly 11 plates and my partner almost got on the leader board with her 37 plates! ( she's going to try again at Christmas!)”

“Great, authentic Korean food. The kimchi pancake and Korean fried chicken were the highlights.”

“Fantastic food, fresh, tasty, staff very friendly. Lots of new menu items. Open Thursday to Sunday, Katsu and Teriyaki are first class. The Prawn Tempura is to die for. Highly rated and recommended.”

“Very nice food Friendly staff Will come back definitely”

“Wow what a lovely place! We came here as a group of 18, the staff were very friendly and very accommodating. They gave us the choice of ordering from the a-la-carte menu or using the party menu - we decided to use the party menu as you got poppadoms, starter, main and side for £16 per person, which made things so much easier when it came to the bill. Everyone in our party commented and how good the food was. Excellent quality and very nice flavours. We liked the fact that the kitchen is on show and you can see the chefs preparing your meal. A great evening had by all, we will definitely be back!”

“We have just had a lovely family celebration The food was good service was excellent Definitely would recommend this restaurant”

“Gorgeous cocktails ! Sangria was alright not not sweet enough Service was lovely and the staff even made me a cocktail that wasn't on the menu so thank you ! Food was hit and miss Fajitas were very spicy but to the point where it was bitter everything else was lovely x”

“Fabulous food, lovely staff. Feels like I'm in turkey! The Sizzlers and the baklava is a must!!!”

“Lovely visit to this welcoming restaurant. The food was very tasty and the dessert just as great!”

“Thank you for the incredible food and excellent service at Shaam. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn’t help but notice the same care and attention given to the dishes on other tables as well, all accompanied by a wonderful aroma. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make my birthday special by bringing out a slice of cake with a candle, creating a lovely atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to offer a variety of music, and we did notice a few bothersome flies from time to time.”

“Absolutely amazing food, staff are fantastic highly recommend!”

“Very nice food, great quality and lovely service! Highly recommend and would return!”

“The staff were so friendly, and very funny. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. A lovely place to bring my daughter, who happens to have the same name, for her 12th birthday. They made a fuss if her and made her feel really special. As her mum, I can't thank you guys enough.”

“Amazing restaurant! First time going to Mint Kitchen as my regular is slipping down hill. The food was ready waiting for me to collect, nice portion sizes, though mint kitchen rice portions are slightly smaller than what I'm used to but all that means is I can actually finish a meal with no left overs. The chicken was really juicy with "no bad bits" (The wife is picky with meat). I think Mint Kitchen is my new regular when it comes to a curry!”

“This is one of the best restaurants i have been to. The staff is very respectful and nice, the food is amazing, fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself is very clean and i was very comfortable. I definitely recommend to go to this place as the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of food. The way they serve the food also looks very nice for your instagram pictures.”

“I would like to thank Mr Saleem and the entire staff for their impeccable service. We went in as a family of 10 as a last min birthday treat. The entire atmosphere and the ' nothing is too much' attitude the staff had really will have us returning and highly recommending this place. To top it all off the food was amazing!! The mix grill platter is a must! The lamb karahi was perfect, the naans were fresh and soft and the kids even loved their burgers! Something for everyone. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing service from Vyshu, couldn’t look after us enough. The food was great, lamb chops in the mixed grill sizzler were phenomenal and the Karahi Gosht on the bone was class!! Thank you for a great experience and hope to see you again in the near future.”

“This is the first time I have been to this resaurant I found the food absolutely lovely and service/atmosphere really good .”

“I went there and first great service food but they changed the name 2 rozana”

“Place is absolutely amazing! Massive, delicious portions. Menu includes authentic Armenian dishes and a wide selection of Caucasian classics. Staff is very friendly, helpful and respectful. Out for a weekend in Manchester - try something new, come to this place, you won’t regret it.”

“I love how quick I got seated and when I looked at the menu I was amazed by the Asian food on it. The naan is very tender and soft. The service is also great. And I love how it actually looks royal. The food and drinks are so amazing! I recommend giving them a go!”

“A five star experience! I can not recommend this place highly enough. Perfectly cooked sea bream and mussels, followed by a white chocolate bread and butter pudding! Divine!”

“Arrived around 5:50 pm on a Saturday evening — busy enough with most tables filled, but still comfortable. We sat down and ordered a Pho and Summer Rolls. Barely five minutes later, our food was on the table. Having tried a lot of decent Vietnamese spots around Manchester since Viet Shack moved from the Arndale, I hadn’t visited this location until now. I have to say, it’s very impressive — the Pho was full of rich, aromatic flavours, and the Summer Rolls were fresh and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and efficient despite the busy atmosphere, making the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Ancoats and craving authentic Vietnamese food.”

“Came here with my friends and had an amazing time! The food was absolutely incredible. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Our server Rubel was awesome and gave us great recommendations that we all loved. The music was lit and really added to the fun, energetic vibe. From start to finish, the experience was enjoyable and delicious. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to”

“First time here! We wanted to sit inside, but the tables were a bit narrow, so the staff kindly set us up outside with heating. Super comfy and perfect for a chat. Generous portions, friendly service, and a really relaxed, enjoyable brunch.”

“The most beautiful restaurant. Sat outside on a lovely sunny day. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I very rarely change where I eat an Italian as not many places do it perfectly but piccolo was recommended by the friend I visited with and it did not disappoint. Arancini was a delicious starter and I had the carbonara which was delicious. My friend had the lasagna which was very rich in flavour and delicious. Will definitely go again”
