Intimate dinner in Wilmslow

“I don't go very often to Hoopers, I was meeting a friend and we decided to go for lunch. I had a chicken wrap which I was told was new on the menu. It was delicious, would definitely recommend. The staff was very friendly and helpful”

“From the moment we sat down, the whole experience just flowed—the kind of easy, confident service that lets you settle in and focus on the important stuff: the food. We kicked things off with the starter platter, and honestly? Every single item stole a tiny piece of my heart. Fresh, bold, nothing hanging around in the kitchen too long—the dishes landed on our table quicker than my nephew spots Pidgey (my pet pigeon) on the bannister. Then came the lamb shank… unbelievably tender. It didn’t just “fall off the bone”—it practically handed in its resignation. Silky, rich, and cooked with the sort of patience I wish my smart meter had. My wife’s dishes were just as impressive. Every bite looked like it transported her somewhere peaceful—meat and chicken both juicy enough to make you rethink every dry dish you’ve ever tolerated in life. I didn’t manage to grab photos of everyone else’s food, but trust me, the table was full of happy faces and clean plates. If you’re thinking about coming here for dinner, do it. The food’s on point, the service feels natural, and the décor gives the place a warm, modern charm. Fully recommend.”

“I moved to Didsbury with my friends and we decided to try the various options at the many restaurants. Here we found a warm welcome and a very pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant is clean, the service is smooth and fast, and the staff was truly excellent. As for the food, the fillet steak with green peppercorns was superb, the seafood risotto was excellent, and the breaded cheese. You've gained two new customers, see you soon, and thank you to the staff.”

“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.”

“The interior of the restaurant is really nice and was greeted with a smile by the staff. Very friendly and we were given few minutes to select a drink and then once our drinks had came, we were asked promptly for our food orders. The food itself is very nice, we shared a starter which was lovely and both had different main meals. The tikka masala is nice but does need more flavour in my opinion (I always think a more red and rich masala is super tasty but appreciate every chef does it differently). My partners main meal which has paneer is was lovely. They add 10% service charge onto the bill which many places do these days which I don’t mind at all (as long as they give good service). All in all a great place to enjoy some nice food and great service, we will definitely return in the future.”

“Hidden gem! We had the Lamb Maqluba, Musakhan Chicken, Batata Harra and Zatar Sweet Tato's - was hoping to try the kunafa but we were far too full. The starters were the highlight for me and to be honest, very generous portions ! Great service and looking forward to returning again!”

“Excellent food and great atmosphere. The poppadom sauces are some of the best I have had. We had Chicken Momocha for a starter (shared) which says it's a 20 mins wait. It is worth it. They are these beautiful curried dumplings which is such an interesting combination. For mains we both picked off the specials menu and were not disappointed. Overall good value for money, excellent ambiance, and helpful wait stuff”

“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.”

“The food was hot,fresh service excellent even though there was a large party already sat down.We were in the extended area in the back.Lamb chops fab.Would recommend and will go back.”

“If there was an option for 6 stars, this pub would get it. Came here after a walk in the area and walked in to friendly staff and a warm fire. It was a weekday so not so busy we got a table straight away. You think it can't get better. It does. The pie was amazing, mash was amazing and gravy was amazing too. Such lovely food we had to get dessert and that was, as predicted, amazing. Can't wait to come back here again and try the other food on the menu, really exceptionally good pub to come.”

“We went here yesterday and was told they are closing with immediate effect and that we were the last ever customers. This News absolutely devastated us but they went out with a bang. Food was absolutely delicious and the service was second to none. They were open nearly 40 years and I really hope they make a return :( long life aladdin”

“We went for a 16th bday celebration. There was 12 of us which wasnt a problem at all. Our waiter was brilliant. The food was really tasty. We will definitely be going back.”

“This is our 2nd visit here ( we dont live locally) so our visita are far apart. The food on both occasions was delicious. We shared the CAMEMBERT for two, with 4 slices of toasted Ciabatta and red onion relish. Extremely tasty. I had the Lentil Cottage pie with vegetables. Really tasty. Hunters chicken was very tasty too. We ate outside. Then went inside for a coffee and to investigate this lovely old house. I read and looked at the photographs on the walls and found out it had belonged to The Boddington Family. Staff were lovely. Very helpful and friendly.”

“Gorgeous place to eat! Food was fantastic and large portions We chose to share for 3 people Hummus + pita always a 10/10 Pickled veg Potato kibbeh Then Chicken kebab Chicken sharhat Very good food and service would highly recommend”

“Mezze salad, lamb chops, and the marmara special fatayer are my favourites. Great price for really good food. I've come here for years and it never disappoints.”

“Never had a bad meal, really lovely service and super tasty food. Very well priced compared to similar takeaways nearby too!”

“I’ve recently moved to the area and needed to find a good Chinese takeaway. I have just finished my second takeaway from here and it was lovely!!! You have got yourself a new customer and I definitely recommend giving them a try. Thank you!!!”

“Nice little restaurant with reasonable prices. Very tasty curry, and wonderful hot naan bread. glad to have found this place, will go again soon”

“Very kind staff especially Matin, who was very accommodating and welcoming. The food was amazing, so fresh and so flavourful. I have recommended to all family and friends.”

“Sophie did an excellent job on our one-off oven and microwave clean.....they genuinely looked as if they had never been used!”

“GREAT service from Leandro and delicious food. The cocktail menu is small but they are accommodating if you want to go off menu! The food exceeded all expectation, we had the calamari to share followed by chicken schnitzel. My only complaint was the waitress didn’t bring side plates or cutlery with the starter. Plenty warm enough sat outside and they even offered us blankets! I highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again!”
