Quality eating in Wilmslow

“My son and my daughters birthday treat. We didn't book, thee restaurant was busy and we were asked to wait a few minutes whilst a table was being prepared. I ordered the pan fried Salmon, the better half ordered the chicken sizzler, the birthday boy ordered the bang bang and the birthday girl a Chicken burger (yes she's your typical 11 year old. The foodwas geat topped with excellent service from Asad. He treated the birthday twins to the best cheesecake I've ever tasted and a Brownie. Food 10/10 Service 10/10”

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“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!”

“My partner booked Ela for a surprise date night! It was ‘nice’ .. I asked for olives while ordering my drink and was told no? Thought this was odd! But Nevermind! Order was olives, Saganaki (just tasted like very burned cheese) a trio of dips with hummus, a cheese pastry thing (can’t remember the name) mixed grill, Kleftiko - Wasn’t the best? Watery and flavourless (I had had it elsewhere and thought the same so maybe it just isn’t for me?) not sure I would recommend or go back! But I do know other people who really like it!”

“We have been here twice now for our work Christmas meal as well as various times throughout the year and we have always found the venue to be very friendly and welcoming. The menu is ideal for me. Thank you so much for making our Christmas meal a lovely event.”

“Such a lovely place. Wonderful food, volunteers, people and atmosphere. There is a nice store that sells nice wine, soaps, salt, jewellery, greeting cards including wooden greetings cards, chutney, tea, jams..and many more. For me, it's love at first sight.”

“Nice place for a quiet drink with a great selection of craft beers and wines. They also had a really good range of wines and spirits for sale. A cosy place to sit and watch the village go by!”

“Great locals bar that is justly proud of its real ale championed by the manager. Well worth a visit. Full range of Hydes beers. Paulicarus on his first visit. A few too many TV's for me.”

“Great place, interior is great. Music and cocktails lovely. Loads of menu choice, highly recommend coming here!!!”

“The Railway amazing pub bar . Very professional landlady .Highly recommend . Friendly pub food top standard. Just next to the train station .I am sure you will enjoy one of the different drinks .I like the fish and chips .”

“Tried the shawarma today and it was excellent—perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, and served hot. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant had a nice, clean atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good shawarma.”

“Having been a devoted customer for over 20 years, I can confidently say Al Madina on Wilmslow Road is one of the best places in Manchester for truly authentic Pakistani food. Every visit feels like a trip back home, thanks to the rich, genuine flavors and traditional cooking that never compromise on quality. If you’re new to Al Madina, the lamb karahi and chicken karahi are absolute must-tries — both packed with perfectly balanced spices and tender meat that melts in your mouth. The saag here is also excellent, creamy and flavorful without being overpowering. And if you love meat, the lamb chops are simply mouth-watering, grilled to perfection with a smoky, juicy finish that keeps you coming back for more. What elevates the experience even further is the outstanding customer service. Usman’s warm and attentive approach is truly 10/10, making every visit feel personal and welcoming. For anyone craving authentic Pakistani cuisine in Manchester, Al Madina is a timeless favorite that I’ll keep returning to for many more years.”

“Food was amazing.we didn't have to wait for the table at all as we were immediately taken to one. Hospitality of the staff was good. Overall good ambience and better experience. Plus it wasnt that expensive as compared to other places.”

“Menu 10/10 Prices 10/10 FOOD QUALITY AND COOKING 10/10 Service 9/10 As always , comfort food at its best. Highly recommend for stunning streetfood.”

“I’ve recently moved to the area and needed to find a good Chinese takeaway. I have just finished my second takeaway from here and it was lovely!!! You have got yourself a new customer and I definitely recommend giving them a try. Thank you!!!”

“Excellent food and excellent customer service. Had a situation in which they gave me half the order but they quickly rectified it immediately and were so very kind. There's a reason why they're really famous on the curry mile. I recommend the Chicken Wrap!!”

“Great service, especially at meet counter….they serve out of time while….really cooperative Saqib Bro♥️”

“This is a huge store but very well set out. Coffee shop is great and although you had to order via a machine your coffee and sandwich was delivered to the table. It was very busy but the service was great. The table next to me had not understood the ordering correctly and over ordered so when the drinks were delivered there were too many. The lady waiting the table was so kind she sorted them out without causing and issue and organised a refund too. Very thoughtful. Sometimes we older people don't understand these machines and it would be a better idea in my opinion if there was someone there to assist with this or just by asking older people if they would like assistance ordering. As I said it was rather busy but well done to the lady who sorted it out.”

“My late father would buy mithai from the original branch next to Euston train station in London in the 1970s and bring it all the way home to Glasgow. When my brother was born in 1978, he had laddoo sent to Glasgow as well, such is the quality of their products. Ambala has a long tradition in this country and as far as me and my family are concerned, serves the best mithai by a country mile. It isn't too sweet and rich like competitors and the quality is consistent across all their branches. Manchester is our hometown now and this branch is our go-to for all things mithai related. Nowhere else comes close!!”

“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.”

“Nice place for a late night meal. The restaurant is nice and clean and it's well decorated. The staff are always available and friendly and the food is really good.”

“Amazing place if you have toddlers! Great staff, friendly environment and well thought out appropriate menu”

“Lovely staff. Some of the best ready meals. Could do with more range of pop, fizzy drinks.”

“I walked in expecting your average chicken shop, but let me tell you one thing the guy who was serving us was a very polite man amazing customer service skills! Now let’s talk about the food wow 10/10 honestly no lie you need to try there box meals with rice and chips with a bit of extra donner absolutely amazing !! Keep it up ma sha allah !”

“My fave Chinese takeaway in manchester, always consistently great with their Kung Pao prawn! Never had an issue ordering via Deliveroo, and always great sized portions. Also, food never feels too greasy or heavy which I appreciate”
