Group dinner in Manchester

“Got take away and the food was fantastic! Unbelievable 2 for 1 offers and really fresh and tasty pizzas! Definitely recommend”

“First time at Efes, so glad we went - Spectacular food, friendly team and a terrific experience!”

“It's a small cafe so there isn't really an atmosphere. Feels unfair to score low on this though and I imagine there is an atmosphere in the warmer months. Service was great, the food was lovely. The tatseki is amazing. Yummy Yummy yummy”

“Lovely little café with a proper cosy feel. Great coffee, simple honest food, and genuinely friendly service.”

“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.”

“We had a dinner at this restaurant. It was a delicious meal and a very pleasant evening. The service was fabulous and the atmosphere was very relaxing, all the guests around us looked happy. The restaurant was well designed, very cosy and elegant. All the dishes were beautifully served and delicious. We were even offered a freebie, appetiser, before our meals. We were very pleased that we found this restaurant and definitely would recommend it. I also liked very much Black Sheep Ale.”

“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.”

“I just had a brilliant meal! The food was fantastic, especially the Cal-Italia – all the flavours and the portion size were on point. The staff were super friendly and attentive, checking in on us and making sure we were enjoying everything. My only tiny gripe was that it got a bit loud as the night went on, but that didn't spoil the experience. Overall, I left feeling really happy and would definitely recommend it!”

“Ordered 2 pizzas for takeaway and the service was quick - staff were friendly and the pizza was delicious. Overall a great experience 5⭐️!”

“This cafe is the best cafe I’ve been to. The staff is amazing with my son and always have a good chat when we go. We normally go every weekend and the food is 10/10. Thank you so much for being friendly having amazing food and being the best cafe in Mossley. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Intimate little restaurant serving fabulous food, all cooked on order by owner and Chef, Mandy. The paella is the best I have ever tasted but don't forget to check the specials board as well. When everything is so good it's ideal that it's tapas, perfect for sharing with family and friends. Menu prices are very reasonable and as it's BYOB, you save money bringing your own alcoholic drinks. (Edit ; they charge that small an amount for corkage i never even noticed until they replied to this review) Friendly, attentive staff in a lovely relaxed atmosphere complete the picture, making this one of my favourite places to bring the people that I love. x”

“Food and Thorn Bistro, led by Nicky and her wonderful team, catered our end-of-year team lunch and delivered directly to our offices in Piccadilly, Manchester. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the food was fantastic, beautifully presented, incredibly flavourful, and clearly prepared with great care. Every dish not only tasted amazing but looked spectacular, taking our event to the next level and making it a truly special occasion. Nicky was an absolute delight to work with. Her professionalism, warm communication, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. The delivery and service were exceptional, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We will definitely be choosing the Food and Thorn team again in the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any event big or small!”

“We ordered take away and it was amazing. Best Turkish Food around Manchester. I'm from Turkey and i was looking for a good Turkish restaurant for 2 years and finally someone knows what they are doing.”

“Love this place. Proper full English breakfasts, afternoon teas. When you’re finished, take home fabulous cakes, buns and pastries. We’ve been many times. Great place. Went for ABBA night last night, had a great time. Loved it.”

“I have been coming to the plaza for over 20 years and I have never had a bad meal. Me and my family love it here. The food is out of this world but the staff are always friendly and very attentive and wouldn’t have a curry any where else”

“Having a large choice of Indian food in Cheadle village it could be difficult to choose which restaurant you would go to. Not anymore.....The food at Veeda was spectacular serving one of the best curries we've ever eaten. The food was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was impeccable and nothing was too much. We usually would go to another local Indian restaurant but we now have a new go too.”

“Delicious food for a great price. We got the sharing platter for 2 and it was huge! The staff were also lovely - all round would definitely recommend”

“Wonderful restaurant, lovely staff Excellent chef. Very friendly sells alcohol, first class place to dine. Recommend the biriani, rogan josh, butter chicken and chicken korma. Haven't tried anything else. Kulfi is a must too. It's wise to book in advance if you are a large party.”

“We were fortunate to have Pomegranate provide catering for our mum's 85th birthday celebrations and it was amazing! The quality of the food was great and they are lovely people. Also a lovely restaurant to visit. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious food. Lovely service and great value for money. 2 young girls who served where very friendly and hospitable”

“Wow, just home from a great meal for my parents wedding anniversary. My dad is wheelchair dependant and they were so helpful. Food was excellent but stand out was Cian and Joe with exceptional service. They could not have done more!! Definitely deserve a bonus!”

“I came to have dinner here with my family on my birthday. I was very impressed with food and service. The waiter Jivani is very intensive. The food was delicious. And definitely come back again. Recommended food: Saesar salad, Mussels. Salmom finocchi, Fudge cake and Cheese cake.”

“Great veggie breakfast and delicious brew. Very friendly team and lovely atmosphere.”

“Food was fantastic here! And the service was amazing, I would recommend the famous lamb meatballs, but everything we had. Was great and prices are great value for money and what you expect for such high quality food!”

“Love it here, food is great, comes quick, always busy but always has a spot got you to sit at. It’s the nicest food ever! 10/10”

“One of my favourite places to eat in the whole of Manchester! I genuinely went 4 times in one week before they closed for Ramadan. The food is: fresh, filling, flavoursome and SO tasty. Everyone who works there is lovely. I’m looking forward to visiting when they reopen! ❤️ This place is truly something special!!”

“We ate here last night for our sons birthday. The food was really good and the staff were really helpful and made the evening special for the occasion.”

“Amazing place- huge portion, flavour filled dishes which taste authentic and at great prices. A really unassuming place, very humble but this is what restaurants should be - the food should do the talking and the decor shouldn’t distract. I’ll be coming back here soon! The service was really friendly and though small, most tables were occupied on a weekday night and it had a great cosy vibe.”

“Upon entering the atmosphere was great, very polite and friendly, the small appetiser that me and friend shared was really good, the food was really delicious, flavourful, wasn’t cold or undercooked, the dessert was super light but had really good flavour across all layers of the lemon cheesecake. I would recommend this place to any couples who’s looking for a little romantic Italian date or for a family”

“What a gorgeous little restaurant! The food was delicious, I had a really good quality thick steak and my partner’s lamb shank was also spot on. Seriously impressed and the service was fantastic, Samed looked after us and was absolutely brilliant as was his colleague. Really great service and really great food, such a great place. We travelled from Yorkshire to come here and will definitely be coming again. Thanks for a fantastic night.”
