Local dining experiences in Manchester

“Lovely Saturday morning breakfast - all four guests chose different options and really enjoy them. Very friendly staff. Already planning the next visit!”

“This place is made from love, the decor and family atmosphere shines through, we were late, no problem starters looked great a nice Causal rest to mains, you can tell this small informal bistro has passion”

“Stunning food, excellent atmosphere and absolutely amazing service from really friendly staff, could not recommend enough”

“fantastic place, been here twice in the past 2 months. gave my boyfriend free tiramisu”

“The kindest chef, was open late and still prepped fresh and delicious food. The perfect spot for a Japanese craving as the menu is stacked. Can’t recommend enough.”

“I bought chicken wings and chicken pad thai. It’s made fresh whilst you can watch. So make sure you are ready for the smell to go all over you. Lol. The portions are HUGE. Price is so unbelievably reasonable. Food is yummy! It’s Halal.”

“Great food, nice vibe and good service.”

“We visited Asylum on the 30 December, and really glad we did. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. There was a warm welcome from the staff, who found us a nice table, and gave fantastic table service. The food was amazing, so fresh and reasonably priced. We had a selection off five or six dishes off the menu along with a bottle of prosecco, the big was £63 , which was such good value. I would recommend a visit either just for a nice drink or sample the amazing food!!”

“Great Brunch place! Had a brioche with avocado, scrambled egg and spicy mayo. Was very delicious and portions were big! Service was also very friendly.”

“Small hidden gem, cosy atmosphere. Staff attentive and quick service. We both had burgers, The Smoker & The Texan Show Stopper.....wow. The flavours of both were great, the portion sizes were spot on. Will be back, would reccomend to others.”

“I’ll start my review by saying that I’ve eaten at all the so called ‘best Indian Restaurants’ locally and to be fair there are a few good ones but often victims of their own success. However, in my opinion, Spice Bistro is up there amongst the best and from the meals I’ve eaten, it is by far the best Indian Restaurant around the Tameside and Glossop area. The meat they serve is so very tender, full of flavour and simply melts in your mouth and this is complimented by the curry sauces which have so much flavour they make you drool. The portion sizes are exceptional because they are thick and not full of oil or watery sauce and if you order a takeaway the foil container is full to the top. I can’t compliment the quality of the food enough…….it is that good. As a side note, the staff are incredibly polite, helpful and chatty but most important they are humble and respectful and this creates a happy vibe around the restaurant. If you have not eaten here before, believe me it will become your no. 1 go to restaurant for a curry. The cost of a curry from here is similar to a kebab from a takeaway and my only regret is that I haven’t eaten from here more often. The restaurant is not the biggest in the world but that’s a bonus as it allows the staff to look after their customers and give them an enjoyable experience. I cannot praise this restaurant highly enough!”

“Lovely food, great atmosphere and it's doggy friendly which is perfect, the only thing we dint see was a car park, but we just parked up at Tesco and walked up like not even 5 minutes, so wasn't a big issue, definitely going their again when we come back to visit :)”

“Went here for my sister’s 30th for Sunday lunch with my family. The food was incredible and the gravy was so shiny and delicious and there was loads of it! A true northern restaurant. My grandpa also has dementia and we requested that the food was served quickly. They were very accommodating. Can’t wait to come back and try the small plates.”

“Wow! We ordered from the special Valentine's Day set menu and it did not disappoint! Such tasty dishes! Food was ready at the correct pick up time and was piping hot. Excellent portion sizes and high quality produce used (even better knowing it's locally sourced) Can't wait to visit again when lockdown is over and enjoy the quirky dining area on the bus. See you soon Bohemian Bus Cafe!”

“Amazing fish and chips and peas, batter crispy generous portion, great value queues out the door good banter. Best fish and chips in New Mills have been here few times. Can't wait till our next trip to Derbyshire. Keep up the excellent service and food.”

“Best ever !!! For true authentic Nepalese cuisine Everest cafe & its staff never disappoint. Very special place that we always look forward to visiting. 10/10”

“Everything about this place is first class! Amazing delicious food, attention to detail Presentation of food, tables, staff is all excellent. Staff are amazing all smiley, happy and talk to you, which you don’t get very often! Special thanks to the lovely, good looking Sag on the service provided, we will definitely see you again!”

“Tucked away in Ashton Under Lyne Indoor Market there is a great FILIPINO FUSION Restraunt. Run by a Mum and Son team dishing up some authentic filipino dishes. We ordered Beef Tapsilog £12 for the dish and a coke to share total was £25 The beef was excellent cooked to perfection included the staple rice , salad and fried egg, TARPS is open 6 days a week 11am to 4.30 pm Monday to Saturday. Would highly recommend plus you have a indoor market to wonder around after. Mike & Bing Cheshire”

“Just came across this local place near me and thought I would give it a go!! Honestly it’s dangerous how good this is!! This is hands down the best place I have been to. Great portions. The burger and wings are banging!!!! So juicy and the chips are so fresh. Great service….”

“We have loved coming to this restaurant over the last couple of years. Have had excellent service and great food at a good price. Since lockdown, we have ordered takeaway from here a few times and even though they are busy, their service has still been excellent! You have been the highlight of our day today... thank you!”

“I visited after many years and was so impressed! The place looks amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Great upgrades definitely worth the visit!”

“Lovely place! Prices are excellent, the portions are very generous and the flavor and presentation doesn’t disappoint. The woman and the boy that served were friendly! It was a bit packed and it’s a bit small but we didn’t wait more than 20 minutes once we order.”

“This Hong Kong stylish Thai restaurant is an amazing. Though small, its stylish, beautiful decorations create a vibrant atmosphere. The food is a delight, with perfectly balanced flavors that dance on your palate. Don’t miss their unique, refreshing drinks—a perfect complement to an unforgettable dining experience!”

“Fantastic restaurant serving freshly cooked Palestinian food of a high standard and with lovely warm service that is attentive and efficient. We’ve eaten at many Middle Eastern restaurants and this is one the best we’ve been to. The Knafeh is excellent and ends a wonderful meal. We also loved the freshly squeezed orange juice and strawberry, mango and pineapple smoothie! If only they had Palestinian ice cream!”

“I had many of my friends recommending this place, and when we finally tried it for my birthday - it exceeded all expectations! The service was amazing, very helpful and welcoming. The food was unreal, very unique menu with lots of things to try. We tried a fair few dishes as recommended and I’m still thinking about their pastas dishes. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff for making my birthday so special.”

“Amazing. Every time I’m in Manchester I come here. Food is always flavourful, curries and sauces are to die for and I’ve never been dissatisfied. Bread is the perfect texture and has a fantastic fermented flavour :) Price is just right for what you’re getting and the portions are great! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Ethiopian or to anyone who’s looking for it in Manchester. Very very good eat Make sure you have an Ethiopian beer and a cinnamon tea at the end, it is really worth it!”

“We ordered food from there for the first time and it was really good. The meat was fresh, and the salads were just the right portion for one person. Delivery was fast as well. Highly recommended!”
