The 30 Best Intimates in Manchester

“Best little treasure I've come across, absolutely stunning. Really amazing options for Gluten free”

“A great meal out, been many times and clearly getting busier now on a Sunday night, hence the missing star, food was really good well recommend the South Indian garlic chilli chicken, lots of flavours. Really friendly staff, spotless clean and as I said doing good business for a Sunday night.”

“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!”

“Brilliant from start to finish, welcoming staff and owner. The food was superb! Best tapas I’ve had in a long time! I will be back very soon!”

“Visited Romulus last night for the first time and the food was absolutely beautiful.. the nicest Italian I have ever had. I had the minestrone soup which was delicious followed by pan fried breaded chicken with tomato spaghetti on the side and my god it was to die for… also this was on the set menu 2 courses I think it was like £19 each…The staff are so nice they can’t do enough for you and also really funny. We had a ball in there last night. Will defo be back. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Harriet is the absolute bees knees, had a great chat and went above and beyond to give us the best 113 experience. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone and I hope you get the pleasure of being served by Harriet! 10/10”

“Derbar is one of the best Iranian restaurants I’ve ever tried! The food is absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and beautifully presented. From the kebabs to the rice, every bite was perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended if you’re looking for real Persian taste!”

“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.”

“The food was gorgeous, service was great. Looking forward to trying more!”

“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!”

“A charming little restaurant with beautiful, wholesome, Polish food. The service was excellent too, the team were super friendly and very keen to chat! The food arrived promptly and everything was clearly freshly made and tasted delicious. We had starters and mains washed down with honey beer (yum!) and finished off with homemade Polish cakes. The portions were generous too. I would definitely go back, we had a great experience.”

“I went to Oodles in Cheetham Hill the place was very good environment. The staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. The service was fantastic and quick. The food was so delicious and bit spicy. I really love the noodles and Malaysian chicken it was mouth watering and tasty. It was well cooked. This food is absolutely worth it and I would highly recommend you to try this place. The menu gives variety of options of the food. The price is reasonable. Bonus from 1st February to 4th February Oodles in Cheetham hill is doing 25% off for that time period but you need a code to redeem in the store but there will be a red leaflet with a 25% off code in the store.”

“Been here 4 times and thoroughly enjoyed every visit. This is a really well- run restaurant and nicely appointed, creating a really pleasant environment to catch up over the well presented and really tasty food and well- chosen wine list. The steak, carbonara and lamb are all just delightful. Not the cheapest, but thoroughly worth it. I'll be returning regularly.”

“Easily my favourite takeaway in Manchester. It's my go to if I work late and can't face cooking. The service is always super friendly and the food is consistently delicious.”

“Very attentive staff who are always pleased to serve and greet us. Last night's meal was my fourth 5 star meal at Pacifica. I recommend to everyone, the moment I get chance! See you again”

“Visited for a friends birthday in January and had great service. The food was delicious and well priced. Staff were very busy but still smiling. Will defiantly be back.”

“Great Italian in Urmston. We had the lunch special which was great value. We didnt have pasta but I noticed others who did, and had generous portions. Staff were lovely. Restaurant laid out really well. Will definitely return.”

“We had a delightful lunch at this lovely spot. The food was absolutely delicious and came highly recommended. The warm plates and beautifully arranged dishes made for a memorable meal. We enjoyed refreshing iced lattes and cappuccinos to complete our experience.”

“We have just celebrated our Daughter’s 18th birthday here, the food was fantastic and the service especially from the waiter John was amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant, they go above and beyond to make you feel special. Will definitely be back thanks again for making our daughter’s day extra special.”

“Food was bang on everything looked fresh and everything smelled amazing different sections they have a grill Chinese and chip shop went for donner lamb on a tcake with chip shop chips mayo and chilli sauce everything was 10 out of 10 it was because of others reviews that I chose this place”

Really amazing value, but more importantly we all commented on how every part of the food was spot on delicious and hot . 10/10 for this great restaurant”

“I came here for my 30th birthday. The staff were so attentive and friendly, they honestly can not do much more for you here they are lovely. All the food was just gorgeous and fresh! Especially the chicken bhuna , lamb khari and biriyani. In fact it was all so nice including the starters and even the chutney tray with poppadoms , I’m making my self hungry thinking of it all. Thank you for a wonderful day and we can’t wait to come back! Even my kids enjoyed it. If I could more stars I would :)”

“I visited on Saturday evening as I was very hungry- the atmosphere was welcoming. The menu has variety of options and the girl who helped me to choose the menu recommended Keema Pav and I was also looking for fish she suggested Tava fish with garlic naan - awesome choice of her's which I liked. Staff was even checking to see if everything was good and the food is top-notch quality. Highly recommended place!”

“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”

“WOW! What a nice place with exquisite cuisine! First of all, the staff are so friendly and always accommodate my children by letting them make their own pizzas which is beyond lovely! And the pizza? Delicious EVERY time! Try the 4 salami - it is top notch. Meatballs are lush. Pasta also. Simply FAB.”

“Amazing place, beautiful pizza and fresh pasta and we loved the interior. Super nice vibe and great service. Highly highly recommended”

“genuinely best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Super delicious rich authentic flavours, really well packaged too so stays hot. Hard recommend the beef birria quesadillas with guac & the churros”

“Bianca was amazing tonight and looked after us so well. Great food and speedy service too. Thank you”

“Second time having Afternoon Tea here and still great. The staff are amazing. They are welcoming, friendly and attentive. The Afternoon Tea for 2 is tasty and fresh. We also ordered scrambled eggs on toast for our 8month old. He enjoyed it, as did I. It's the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Came out hot, too, which was even better. Would 100% recommend without a doubt.”
