Local dining experiences in Manchester

“As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was. Full of flavour and such a great find here in Manchester. I had ordered the egg curry along with the mushroom xacuti and loved both. The portions are also generous so would highly recommend to people who want to try goan food or just want to be reminded of back home. The couple and their family were also extremely sweet and welcoming. Will 100% order again.”

“Tucked away in Wythenshawe, near the airport, this spot is a true hidden gem. The food is superb, offering great portion sizes and outstanding value for money. What sets them apart is their dedication to authentic Thai cooking, using quality ingredients and clearly pouring their heart into every dish. For the price point, this is easily the best Thai experience in Manchester. The staff and owners are wonderfully friendly, and the service is great.”

“Found this place using maps and it said over 4*. Should have been a 5*. The food was really good and service too. They had more delivery drivers coming in than McDonald’s. That’s how good the food was. Will definitely go back when in Manchester”

“We have ordered food from Great Indian kitchen quite a number of times and have always been a happy customer. We love their food so much that we opted for their catering service for our daughter’s baptism event. Everyone loved the food and it was a pure delight. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good Indian tea specially their chicken Hyderabadi and Samosa which are almost like Delhi style.”

“A few of us ate here for Sunday dinner recently. The food was lovely & there is a wide selection on the menu & we were well looked after by the staff. I would strongly advise booking.”

“Tried a jerk chicken wrap here for the first time today and it was superb! So flavourful and decent quantity. Really lovely staff.”

“We had wanted to try this place for a while but never got round to it. So glad we finally did as the food is amazing. Backed up by lovely friendly service. Great little restaurant and we’ve already been back twice. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

“Been wanting to go here since they opened, finally got a table. Heard and read great things about this place. I can see now why it's got such high praise and why it's worth waiting to get a booking. From the moment we entered the place was so inviting, the service was excellent. As for the food it was incredible, not one bad course, I opted for the extra course of pheasant, which I'm so glad I did it was one of my favourites. I've been to quite a few tasting menus and this was up there as one of my favourites. The place has a lovely homely family vibe, the chef/owner came out and chatted to us about one of the courses and we ended up chatting for a little, really nice guy. This is such an amazing addition to Urmston and deserves all the success. Get booked in and you won't be disappointed. We will be returning for the next convenient available slot. Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is incredible we went on Sunday for there Sunday roast and it was amazing, every element was off the scale. I'd go for the three courses as the portions aren't huge but well balanced.”

“Such a lovely experience x we sat in to eat … portion sizes good x staff so lovely … reggae music … vibes x loved it x We even left with a piece of chocolate Rum cake xxx so so good x”

“This restaurant really knows how to deliver quality. The risotto was creamy and rich without being heavy. The service felt professional and sincere.”

“Great to have the options of light, healthy Indian lunch dishes full of fabulous flavours. Lovely service too!”

“Our second visit and again, an absolutely fantastic evening! Superb food, all 3 courses were fantastic just like last time. The house red is brilliant too! The pasta and pizza were great and the ricotta cheesecake was to die for! So so good! Outdoor dinning was lovely in the courtyard. Already looking forward to going back again soon! Highly recommend, gluten free and vegan options available. Perfect for couples and families. It’s an absolute little gem!”

“We moved to the area around a year ago and our estate agent told us to go here for dinner to celebrate. We didn't get round to it then, but we should've! We came with a group and tried every dish on the menu. There honestly wasn't one average dish, they were all perfectly cooked, creative and beautifully presented. We asked everyone around the table which was their favourite dish and got back at least 6 different answers, so there really is something for everyone. Price wise, I think it's very reasonable. We walked out stuffed, and had wine and desserts for £50/per person roughly.”

“Wow! Food and Service absolutely amazing. My Gyros Platter was unreal and my wife had the Kleftico which was amazing. Best food we have eaten in a long time and the owners were so welcoming. We will definitely be back.”

“Fabulous gym. I started 6 years ago when my son was in a ninjas class to fill the time, I go 3-4 times a week now and it’s been amazing for my fitness and energy. I’ll be going for black belt at my next grading! It’s totally inclusive, everyone is encouraged to reach their best regardless of age, fitness level etc. Lots of different classes to choose from in timetable and great facilities. Top class coaches who invest in all students. My daughter goes now as well and she loves it. Welcoming, respectful culture. Very lucky to have this place round the corner. I’d recommend it to anyone.”

“Great open air cafe, right next to the river. Bit off the beaten track but worth finding.”

“We had a fabulous Christmas dinner today. The service was excellent and the food was cooked to perfection. I recommend that if you’re in the area call in you won’t be disappointed.”

“Cute, charming, and so friendly - I’ll definitely be back. (Psst - try the bacon sarnie on sourdough!)”

“What a find. I was out for an appointment, and was early. We spotted this place, unassuming. We were greeted and seated. The breakfast was cooked from scratch fresh. No preparation, out of fridge to be cooked The value was excellent. Also I could help that community in a small way. If was in my home town would be a regular.”

“Popped in for a hot chocolate and coffee , was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and was the perfect place to visit to start the day.”

“We came here for a midday lunch and we love this place. All the food was fantastic, I especially enjoyed the chicken kebab. The staff were all so friendly, which is one of the really nice things about Sale Moor.”

“Best cafe around. Great food and staff. Good prices too. Gets busy!”

“I had such a lovely breakfast experience here. I pre ordered and booked the day before for a late morning vegetarian breakfast. The owner was very quick to respond to my social media messages and happily made adjustments to my order. Food was delicious and service was very quick. Condiments were offered and a toilet is available inside. Seating available outside during good weather. Takeaway orders are taken. The boat was warm, cosy and full of character. The owner was really friendly and asked us questions about ourselves and built up a good rapport. Will definitely return”

“Lovely cafe open end of the week with excellent coffee and brownies/cake. I also highly recommend the breakfast bagel! Staff voulenteers are so helpful and great community atmosphere.”

“Popped into Henry C for my birthday drinks tonight and as ever the drinks and service were amazing. I love the cosy feel here and how accommodating the staff are with off menu requests!”

“That's the best pub in the area. So clean toilet, exemplary services . Everybody feels so comfortable. Nice and quiet. Very recommended.”

“The staff here have great knowledge and are incredibly helpful. I requested a case of 12 wines as a gift and the packaging and presentation were fabulous. I massively appreciate what a briliant job Keith did with all of it - the extra little touches elevated it brilliantly. Big thanks again - much appreciated!”

“Chris was very informative and helpful. He knew his stuff about Parker Knoll Furniture! We ordered the sofa and chair and he and Amanda delivered it the next day. It looks so lovely in my lounge. As soon as it was in my lounge my dog jumped on it and loved it. Excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble. Will be calling in the shop again in the future for other goods. Highly recommended. Well done guys. Nicky.”

“Absolutely fantastic service again from Bedfellas. Honest and reliable. Thank you!”

“Absolutely brilliant experience here on the French patesserie course. The day was really engaging and interesting - the recipes were great, the pace was just right and we were given so much useful information as well as little tips and tricks. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, the facilities were lovely and the course was expertly delivered. I would definitely recommend and I'm already looking at what courses I can do next!”
