Local eats in Manchester

“Just been in looking for noodles, the sales assistant went out of their way to ask us what we were looking for and brought the item out of the back when we found the shelf was empty. Really great, attentive and friendly staff, thank you!”

“I visited Subway recently and was served by Joe. Despite the store being clearly understaffed and a constant stream of Deliveroo orders coming in, Joe remained calm, patient, and professional throughout. It did take a bit longer than usual to get my order, but it was clear the delay wasn’t his fault – he was handling a lot on his own. Joe made sure to greet every customer politely, took time to get each order right, and didn’t let the pressure affect his service. I really appreciated his positive attitude and attention to detail, even in a hectic situation. If anything, Subway needs to make sure their staff aren’t left to manage such a high workload alone. Joe did a great job under the circumstances, and his customer service deserves recognition. I visited on the 29th June 2025 around 17:30.”

“Good food, nice atmosphere and amazing service. Special thanks to Jamie, the FB manager who really made us feel welcome. Would definitely recommend.”

“Had a great experience at Nando’s. Ordered the half chicken, coleslaw, and halloumi, and honestly everything was banging — perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavour. Special shoutout to Haris, who was absolutely top-tier. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell he actually cares about customer service, which makes a big difference. Food was spot on, service was excellent, and the vibe was great. Will definitely be coming back.”

“Good nandos this, always ready to cater for late arrivals and none booked. Nandos food is what it is. Nice quiet place for it. Staff were lovely.”

“My absolute go to Chinese in the area. The portions are very well sized for the money and most dishes come with the rice or chips included. The food is always very hot and well presented. The fire chow mein and seaweed is our favourite! Definitely recommend as the best Chinese in the area, and we love supporting local.”

“Nice place to go for shopping, cheaper then other places and fresh products.”

“I was not inside. But, there is a real PIN4CASH ATM. It works! And issues cash! I want to help people who are struggling to get money via this scheme. It is not easy. But it is still possible. Hallelujah!”

“Good selection of food and drinks. Can actually get decent fresh produce and food vs the offies. Staff have been nice and the prices seem fair from what I’ve noticed. Clean and have a full stock of goods. Would recommend for grocery needs.”

“Food was so nice and definitely get what you pay for! Mega box was filling loads to fill up on highly recommended.. fast and lovely service very welcoming people will definitely eat from here again!!!”

“If I were to describe Manjaros in a nutshell, I'd say it was Nandos with a twist. There are a few different options from the traditional grilled chicken which are worth trying. The prices are steep, but the portions are very large and you need to have a very large appetite to finish your plate completely! You also get enough seating for large groups as well as proper table service with waiters and everything - something which really sets the experience apart. Look out for the excellent discounts that may pop up from time to time, making this place incredibly good value. If you enjoy this sort of cuisine, I suggest you give it a shot. It's well worth it. Oh, and it can get quite busy so to avoid disappointment make sure you call up and reserve a table before visiting.”

“Great pizza and burger. Everything was good although the fries ordered were plain and instead what was delivered were the spicy kind. The cakes were also good. Deliveroo kept delaying the order (as usual!)”

“Beautiful in heart, caring staff. Always happy to see regular customers. Take interest in their regular customers. Ok it is a convenience store so prices are slightly higher, but this is compensated by their customer service. Far better than the YOO local a bit further away who rip you off.”

“Very unique and beautiful city. Shame that we only had a limited time to explore this place. Still worth having a bus Sightseeing tour.”

“Open until 11pm everyday. Even Sundays. Very handy. Always well stocked and clean.”

“Extremely convenient location with great amenities including a HMC certified butcher, Post office, cash machine & mobile phone kiosk. The store & butchers are very clean. Wide range of items available including all your spices etc. There is also limited on street parking Infront of store just be sure to check the signs incase of any parking restrictions.”

“Quick post work shopping for some cider. No headaches.”

“occasionally go in to pick up parcels and everyone working there is so friendly and kind!”

“This a great shop friendly staff and always have good bargains on and has good customer attitude”

“Always a great experience shopping at Manchester Superstore Oldham. The shelves are always fully stocked with a wide range of products. The fruit and vegetables are always fresh and nicely presented. Staff are great and helpful. I would highly recommend shopping at this store.”

“This place brings back such nostalgia and memories from when I was studying in Liverpool. Of course, I was ecstatic when I heard they opened a branch in Manchester. Nothings changed fortunately, I still get my large mix and match combo with katsu curry and sweet chilli chicken (best combo) and the portions are always super generous so it’s always comfort food to me. I do wish they did onigiri at this branch though! 10/10!”

“My normal go to Domino's for online collection orders. Always great service, even going the extra effort when they made a mistake with an order. The only downside with this store is they don't deliver to my area and I have order from another store further away.”

“The prescription I needed for my baby was out of stock and unable to be ordered. They rang round several late night pharmacies to save me driving round which was very much appreciated. Really helpful staff and both went the extra step. Not the experience of other local late night pharmacies. Thanks again.”

“Super convenient. It’s never crowded and usually has everything that I want. A bit pricey but Nectar has decent discounts every week so I’m satisfied. Recently picked up an Argos order here and the staff were super friendly and quick with it.”

“Love this as a go to corner shop. They have everything you would expect in a corner shop and more. Great alcohol selection and everything is very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly. I will say that they do not sell fresh produce which is a downside and there is often groups of young people loitering outside which may deter some shoppers. Overall a good and easy convenience store, definitely recommend.”

“Food is always good, staff very friendly and food is always ready for when as soon as I walk in after ordering”

“Always helpful with purchases and parcel drop offs”

“Amazing friendly environment and even better food ! You've saved me a fortune on food and stopped me wasting money on processed foods ! Love it here”
