The 30 Best Local ingredients used in Manchester

“Used to go here regularly 17 years ago. Stopped today on our way through the Manchester area and ordered a takeaway. Same owner and they were just as efficient and friendly. The food was delicious, just a good as ever. The poppodums were a little thin (still good) but the onion bhajis were lovely. Overall good curries and an accolade that they are still as good all these years on. Thank you”

“Family friendly, dog friendly and all round friendly pub. Great atmosphere and the best pizza for miles around!”

“Thank you for the incredible food and excellent service at Shaam. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn’t help but notice the same care and attention given to the dishes on other tables as well, all accompanied by a wonderful aroma. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make my birthday special by bringing out a slice of cake with a candle, creating a lovely atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to offer a variety of music, and we did notice a few bothersome flies from time to time.”

“Very nice experience with good food. Enjoyed a range of quality food with brilliant service.”

“Had the carvery. All the vegetables were lovely, perfectly cooked. Roasties would have been nicer with a fluffier type of potato. Roast beef beautiful. Perfect apple crumble with loads of custard. Lovely waitress and lovely manager from the Hesketh which closed down and is still missed.”

“The best East African food I have ever had. Lentils and yellow peas cooked on point. Delicious lamb and perfect slightly sour and chewy injera. Also, absolute value for money. Will be definitely back.”

“The place is great for vegans and the service is quick and polite! Would highly recommend to try the vegan BLT sandwich and their fries.”

“Now the poutine here is amazing, I don’t usual go back to same place often but this place is an exception. The Keanu reeves poutine is very well balanced with a layer of chips in gravy with cheese curds followed by a bed of (Halal) BBQ USA beef brisket and long strands of crispy fried onions. Reasonably priced and a very warm welcome from the host. Everything a family run business should be.”

“Great food and service, friendly staff and nice atmosphere”

“Great food, reasonable price for the very high quality, fresh ingredients - e.g. the chicken in the dishes was the highest quality chicken meat I’d ever seen used by a Chinese takeaway. Ordered by phone for collection, very reasonable wait time about 20 mins for large order. Very friendly service. Have been back for more already. Highly recommended”

“A really good afternoon spent here. Great food and lots of it. Sat outside in the lovely weather helped. Staff great.”

“Just been in for a bacon and egg barm. Lovely stuff. Staff were really nice. Definitely go back there when am in the area. Thanks”

“Good for coeliacs. We have been here twice now to get my son some dinner and they was able to provide us a kids dinner, butty, crisp, and home made cake/brownie with a drink. Good when we only live round the corner and can find something convenient for him. They really have thought about alot off people this cafe, people that are not able to talk or write are able to place pictures onto the menu to show what they want. Good community cafe.”

“Good honest food. Lovely staff, excellent prices”

“Denise is just amazing,honestly the nicest person,and knows how to make me look human again,haha,would highly recommend and will be back”

“Incredible food, coolest coffee art and lovely team ☕️ Popped in today to try their brunch, we had the eggs benedict and pistachio cream french toast. Both dishes were incredible and this has to be hands down the best breakfast & brunch spot I’ve been to in a long time ☺️ Definitely worth getting a coffee as well just to appreciate the funky coffee art, it’s absolutely brilliant”

“It's tasty, properly baked pizza. Definitely a cut above your usual doughy, bland tasting takeaway pizza, and I much prefer it to the over-sweetened taste of places such as Domino's. Delivery was quick, and the food was still hot. Garlic bread was great, too!”

“Really excellent food staff and atmosphere food was quality service was second to none the atmosphere was really friendly and family orientated”

“Great little place this, ordered a jerk chicken box half race half chips and it was very good and very nice. Top food guys, keep it up”
