“Valentina and all the staff are so friendly. Well furnished stylish and amazing food especially the chicken breast with chips. The romanian chef there is a real pro. We lost our wallet there and they kept in the safe the next day now thats what I call a dam good restaurant. Highly recommend. Deserts are fab too!”

“I had the pleasure of trying traditional Fredo espresso here, and it was incredible. Rich, strong, and perfectly brewed with — every sip felt authentic and comforting. The aroma alone was enough to wake me up, and the taste was smooth with just the right touch of bitterness. It’s the kind of coffee you want to take your time with and truly enjoy. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality and tradition in their coffee!”

“This is the first time we have been to the cafe but it wont be the last. The food was good quality and well presented. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and welcoming.”

The crust is perfect, toppings generous, and everything is exactly as ordered. Highly recommend for a tasty, reliable treat!”

“I have been here from the start. The taste is fabulous. I can vouch for it having eaten in so many so called Kerala restaurants. The only thing missing this time is the squid Masala. I am told that it's on the menu in their Whitefield Sindhoor restaurant. Tandoori chicken was not filled with colour like elsewhere. Definitely recommended.”

“Had a impromptu lunch date at this cafe and it was wonderful! the atmosphere was relaxing and very welcoming. The staff are warm and helpful ,we had to a make dietary request and they accommodated it and it wasn't any bother. cafe is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, they have different types of chairs which was a life saver for my back! Absolutely loved the food , a little expensive I would say but definitely worth it , best BBQ chicken cheese toastie I've had and the salad that accompanied it was gorgeous. Just what was need on a hot day. I would definitely recommend this place !”

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“Perfect location for T2 … across the road, 2 minute walk and within a short 5 minute journey on the free shuttle bus to the excellent drop and go parking service A special mention to Lauren part of the Holiday Inn reception team who was very efficient, friendly and provided a first class service! A credit to the “HI Man Airport” team !!! Hotel spotless, modern and well stocked rooms … have stayed next door at Ibis (which is also a great hotel!) but for an extra £30 on this stay brekkie was included. They also have a happy hour on selected drinks and discount on food A great place to relax night before travels without the early morning stress … thanks Holiday Inn!”

“Great food, polite staff, always able to find you a spot.....fresh produce....adds up to an excellent dining experience! Revisited in April 2022, the updated menu just keeps on getting better, plenty of plant based options if you have non-meat eaters in your party. Staff, as ever, are helpful polite and genuinely nice people. Looking forward to my next visit.”

“Great Shop everything u need, and they have become great friends to.”

“Pretty good for a small shop. They do have considerable amount of South indian, sri lankan groceries.”

“I asked Ryan's Italian to cater a works event in Manchester City centre and ordered 20 pizzas. The pizzas were delivered on time and hot. All night I was being asked where I ordered the pizzas from as everyone was loving them. Thank you very much for catering our event!”

“Served by Harry, excellent attention, would definitely recommend every time. Previous night served by Aaron, once again amazing service. Sam was on both nights of our stay and she went above and beyond”

“Easily the best store in Manchester! Afib is always happy to help, whether you’re shopping in-store or placing an order online. Always so cheerful too. I’d recommend them just for the customer service alone — something that’s hard to come by these days.”

“Love this place. Fresh tasty and great prices. Lovely lady who serves. Cash only though. Xx”

“Surprisingly wide range of goods, open early til late and friendly, helpful staff. A great local shop.”

“The burgers are on point, 7 of us got burger meal, wings and a wrap meal. We spent around £45. Everything was on point, the burger was succulent and the flavour was just perfect, the fries were perfectly seasoned and they just hit the spot. We drove 3 hours just to have these burgers. Definitely worth a try.”

“The perfect airport hotel. A complementary shuttle bus is available from the airport, which arrived to pick me up just outside the terminal. From my arrival in reception I was greeted by very attentive and friendly staff - the place has a feeling of being orderly and efficient yet still maintaining that relaxed atmosphere. My room had a comfortable bed, super soft sheets and was quiet - I couldn’t hear any noise from the airport. The selection and quality of the buffet breakfast was brilliant. Everything you could want prepared and displayed to an high standard. Mike and John were going over and above to ensure all guests had a great experience. Overall I was impressed with my stay, and glad I chose this hotel after a very long flight.”

“We were really blown away by the customer service from Walkers. Our projects can be pretty stressful as we have a huge number of pallets to dispatch in a short period of time. Their online portal is really easy to use and the team in the office - Hayley, Kelly, Graham and also Gary in sales were fantastic with us. When you're working at lightning pace on an important job - you just need to know that someone has your back, and that's exactly the vibe we got from their team. I can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Very nice place to go and buy groceries and meat here. Staff are helpful too only downside is parking not so good as can be hard to park here plus can get very crowded inside down the isle and meat area”

“Lovely setting. Great service. Their champagne never disappoints and the olives were so tasty. Great place to break up a shopping trip....have been visiting for years and always enjoy.”

“It is a really good shop filled with new things”

“I visited Bupa Marble Street today for a Be Ahead health assessment and had a very positive experience. Staff on reception were welcoming and helpful. The health advisor and doctor were both very friendly, took time to ask questions and run through all of the test results while offering valuable advice!”

“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.”

“This is our local Domino's and they always do a great job. M.Tahir, or delivery driver had our order here extremely quickly. Very pleased with the service, thank you!”

“Love the fruit and veg here and the Indian snacks, Regal crisps are my favourite”
