The 30 Best Group dining in Manchester

“The place to go in Royton - and Oldham for that matter - for craft beer. The menu is always changing with great choices from various breweries from across the UK. The atmosphere is always good and you're always given a friendly welcome. The food is great too, be it the in-house burgers or the various street food vendors that come into the kitchen, too.”

“Favourite kebab takeaway in Stockport. Lovely, fresh, tasty kebab on chips with salad! Great value for money. Homemade baklava, very generous portion and absolutely delicious!”

“I love it here. I come all the time for food and/or drinks. Every time the staff and experience is brilliant. The cocktails are unique and inventive. They also do happy hour on the cocktails and oysters! Food is lovely and creative too. They change the menus seasonally, which means you get to try lots of different stuff each time you visit.”

“Al tayyba had very good food, good portion of both dishes which were Qabily palau and kofta kebab on rice. The price was good as well compared to the quantity of food we were given. Ambiance of restaurant was also excellent.”

“Love this cafe used to go to their cafe in Stockport and now drive 5 miles every Saturday food is great and the most reasonably priced around and we love the coffee. Staff are great”

“Robina and John are the most wonderful neighbours to have over the road from Hive Stores. They both work very hard to bring a lot more joy and creativity to the neighbourhood and are always willing to help where they can. The waiting room cafe has the best value full English around and the engine room is set to become a great creative hub. Whilst enjoying breakfast on our day off we conversed with familiar faces from the local neighbourhood who were enjoying crafts and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Robina and John for always helping, making us laugh and generally being authentic people. You've created a great space!”

“The cafe is the best doggy cafe for miles x the cafe lady who runs it is lovely and is a credit to the council she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome x”

“Fantastic pub,superb atmosphere and excellent bar staff...don't serve food..”

“We had some amazing food here on the 25/11/25. The restaurant hasn’t been open long so the venue was pretty empty however it was a Tuesday night. We will certainly be back in the new year.”

“This is the best groomers in manchester I've been using them for years wonderful service all round .”

“Fantastic Neapolitan pizza, with creative and delicious sides and small plates. The location is perfect for summer days sat outside at the front with friends. It can book up quickly so make sure to ring for a reservation otherwise you may be struggling to get in.”

“We love this place, fabulous service, amazing food, all the drinks you'd want...always top notch. Try the meatballs, they are so tasty and fresh.”

“Best pizza express in Manchester ! Excellent experience being served by Franchesca, Peter and the Manager Ian. Food was incredible and super quick service. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so much to everyone.”

“This place is amazing! I first got introduced to this place by my boyfriend nearly a year ago. Each time we go, we try and get something new but it's hard not to get the same thing each time because we love the food so much! The trio garlic bread is amazing, and we always have that as a starter, and then change what we have as another starter, to go with the garlic bread. The staff are lovely and know us well now and are always exctionally well. We never have any complaints about this place.”

“I come to sushi mami each month either with friends or just alone to enjoy the all you can eat buffet. The food is just amazing, I love the sushi that they make. They use the best quality fish and ingredients. Would definitely recommend coming here.”

“Best sushi I’ve ever had in Manchester or even UK! Been to Japan few times before, it just tasted like the same as original Japanese sushi. Plus those salmon are fresh and gorgeous, and those are all fat and it will be melted once you put into your mouth. Highly recommended! Especially salmon haha”

“Tattu Manchester is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was absolutely delicious — the highlight for me was the sea bass fillet steamed, which was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, creating a great atmosphere for dining. Prices are a bit on the high side, but definitely worth it for the quality of the food, the stunning interior, and the attentive service. I would definitely come back here next time I’m in Manchester.”

“Delicious food, warm welcoming. The kids had a great time. We look forward to our next visit.”

“Went with dad a few weeks ago. Staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. Foods were fresh and actually tasty considering their values for money. Would recommend for either dining it or having takeaway, however bearing in mind there are very limited seats.”

“Foods unreal. Definitely get the wings! Service was fab, really friendly and helpful”

“Great food, square pizza was different but really nice. Great friendly staff too when collecting”

“We have only ever had the take aways when we want to treat ourselves. We have lived in Saddleworth almost 8 years now and we have really struggled to find a decent Indian restaurant, it has always been hit and miss. There was never any consistency, sometimes good, sometimes bad…HOWEVER I think this is by far our favourite place! We keep going back! The poppadoms are always amazing, every single time, not full of oil and greasy tasting, their Lime Pickle is gorgeous and the food is delicious. The lamb chops are a favourite and you can tell there is no cheat, they have been properly marinating in the delicious spices. The tandoori spices must be a family secret, to die for. Most definitely recommend if you want a genuine taste of India. And it is a plus there is minimal plastic waste:)”

“An Absolutely Amazing Turkish Dining Experience! Every visit to this restaurant has been nothing short of perfect! The food is always fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented, truly authentic Turkish cuisine done to perfection. The cocktails are just as impressive each one goes down an absolute treat and perfectly complements the meal. As someone with celiac disease, finding a restaurant that can cater safely and confidently to my dietary needs is rare, but the team here went above and beyond. They were knowledgeable, careful, and made me feel completely at ease. I left with a full and very happy tummy, which says it all! The service is consistently 10 out of 10 warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The fact that the restaurant is also kid-friendly made our experience even better, allowing the whole family to relax and enjoy together. We honestly can’t thank the staff enough for making us feel so comfortable and well cared for every single time. This place is a real gem we’ll definitely keep coming back!”

“I go here regularly for lunch as I work nearby, the food is always excellent and the staff are very friendly. The quiche today was especially good, the best I've ever tasted.”

“I came with my girlfriend and this place is awesome. Was a lovely place and the food was amazing, really recommended. Keep it up!! My favorite one was mixed kebab with hummus! Best combination ever!”
