Quick dining in Manchester

“I’ve been coming to The Hare and Hounds in Middleton week after week, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience here. From the classic Sunday roast to the rotating chef’s specials, the food is consistently 10/10 — it’s far beyond what you’d expect from pub food and easily rivals high-end restaurants. Every dish is beautifully presented, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are almost unbelievable given the quality you get. Drinks are also great value, with top brands served at very reasonable prices. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help, no matter how busy it gets. They always do their best to accommodate everyone including dietary needs, and make you feel right at home. Whether you’re after a comforting roast, a special night out, or just a few drinks in a warm atmosphere, this place delivers every time. Highly recommended — easily one of the best pubs in the area!”

“Amazing food reasonable prices. Very Family friendly.Great atmosphere. Spacious for dinning. The steaks,burgers and Mac and Cheese were amazing paired with the customer service made a great evening out.”

“Visited this place a few weeks ago with friends and had to come back quickly with my father (who went to university in Sri Lanka) because the food was so good! Service was warm and friendly and everything we ate was authentic, delicious and great value for money. Will come back again very soon, thank you!”

“They'd just opened, I plonked myself on a seat and ordered a breakfast muffin, it's literally still in my hand now and it's 'effin delicious. Friendly and quick service, freshly cooked and I live nowhere near but ill come again when I'm on training at the brewery. Could not recommend more.”

“Harriet is the absolute bees knees, had a great chat and went above and beyond to give us the best 113 experience. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone and I hope you get the pleasure of being served by Harriet! 10/10”

“I got a hazelnut latte meatball sub and a Philly cheesesteak all of them easy 10/10 I took one bite out of the Philly cheesesteak and immediately thanked my friend who told me about it Best sandwich I’ve had in Greater Manchester”

“Amazing food and an excellent ambiance! The customer service was outstanding — special thanks to Nikki, who perfectly understood my taste and recommended dishes that turned out to be spot on. The bartender was also at the top of his game. This place is an absolute must-visit!”

“Called in for coffee and sandwiches. Very nice and fresh. Good value. Another visit. Great food. Really friendly staff and very polite.”

“Stepping into Turquoise in Cheadle is like being warmly hugged by a restaurant that knows its own character inside out. The décor isn’t trying to impress with chandeliers or glitter thankfully but instead wraps you in warmth with local artwork on the walls that feels like it’s been chosen by someone who actually likes art not someone who just Googled “restaurant paintings.” It’s inviting homely and gives you the sense that whether you’re bringing the family for a big feast or sneaking in for a romantic dinner for two you’re in the right place. Now the food. This is where Turquoise flexes its muscles. Take the full English. It’s not a plate of sadness and regret it’s a proper spread. The sausages aren’t your usual limp Richmonds. No these beauties taste like they’ve just been pinched from a farmer who still sings to his livestock. I don’t even like sausages usually but these have that magic balance meaty juicy and full of intent. And if you fancy they’ll happily swap one out for a Turkish sausage which adds a little drama to the plate like inviting a flamenco dancer to your breakfast table. Their Mediterranean and Turkish dishes carry the same ethos generous but never sloppy bold but never brash. You can tell nothing’s rushed here. It all tastes fresh like someone actually cared as they stirred the pot. The staff are relaxed happy and with that ease that says “We’d rather be here than anywhere else.” They don’t hover like suspicious pigeons nor do they vanish when you need them they’re just right. And the value. Well it’s excellent. Other places might leave you nursing the sting of buyer’s remorse but here you walk away content your wallet intact and your taste buds gently applauding. Turquoise doesn’t just feed you it reminds you that food cooked with love and pride makes everything better. And if you’re lucky the sausages might even wink at you on the way out”

“From the excellent reviews, I was expecting a lot. I wasn't disappointed. The menu contains the traditional tapas options, with the odd twist. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered 6 tapas between the two of us. This ended up being quite a bit of food. We still managed it though. Some dishes are on the pricey side, but the quality made them worth it. The mushrooms in cream, the pork belly and the albondigas (with cheese) were the highlights. But, as mentioned, everything was delicious.”

“Went to the other kabanas for years. Was told by my uncle to try the other brother and they didn’t disappoint. Manchesters best nihari”

“Amazing food and service Deffo recommend specially for nihari,paya,curry Fresh food Must visit”

“I've had decent nihari a few times in UK, this was highly recommended by my son in law, I was not disappointed, I also ordered naan and a portion of seekh kabab. 1. Every item was outstanding including chutney. At other places, I usually don't like their naan, other places seekh kabab ate extremely dry, I hate chutneys everywhere, they usually go in the bin. This food was OUTSTANDING, 5*****, 2, Service, OUTSTANDING, I'm disabled and did not have my wheelchair in the car, the gentleman brought out the food for me. 3. Price, OUTSTANDING. All the food that I ordered, cost only £25. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED restaurant. 5*****”

“Great big neon signs to attract your attention. We ordered online (no honestly we were on the tram back from Bury) and collected our order when we got off at Heaton Park. Friendly staff and everywhere is clean, theres a few stools in the waiting area. We ordered 2 burgers, chips, cheesy chips and onion rings. When we got home the burgers were wrapped in foil and then greeseproof paper so they were still hot and fresh. The sauce is a little too hot for us but still very nice, onion rings were crispy as were the chips.”

“Hidden gem! We had the Lamb Maqluba, Musakhan Chicken, Batata Harra and Zatar Sweet Tato's - was hoping to try the kunafa but we were far too full. The starters were the highlight for me and to be honest, very generous portions ! Great service and looking forward to returning again!”

“Amazing restaurant and would definitely go back again!! Quality of food was great, everything cooked to perfection and portion sizes were really good too. Service was really good, especially for a busy Saturday evening. Ambience was lovely, we sat in the glass roomed area, needed to put the heaters on but was warm enough. Thanks to the amazing team, it was a great experience”

“Great food. Great prices. And the team are always so friendly. Hits the perfect spot for a breakfast fry up!”

“H and T were like a dream come true! I was delighted to get a proper sausage and bacon sandwich here, without having to queue or pay through the nose for it. A wonderful and pleasant surprise.”

“Very friendly staff, excellent food and not expensive. Nice atmosphere, will definitely go back again.”

“Wow, this place is amazing! This is the first time my partner (Kieran) and I have ordered from here, and it most certainly won't be the last. The chicken in the korma was beautiful - so tender with absolutely no fatty bits. My partner said the same about his lamb too. The authentic pilau rice.. the garlic and coriander naan which was so garlicky... the heavenly salt and pepper chips - everything was quite simply PERFECT. They even gave us some free tikka bites, along with a lovely handwritten message welcoming us to the place. The delivery guy was so friendly too. I simply can't fault this place - and that's coming from someone who can be quite picky. All that's left to say now, is THANK YOU!”

“Amazing food, lovely staffs. A great place to have Thai food. Tried chicken satay, coconut cream soup and Thai green curry with steamed jasmine rice. Everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend Thai spice to anyone wanting to try Thai Cusine.”

“Had the special mixed kebab and it was the freshest tasting kebab I’ve ever had. Was such a clean kebab. Meat char’d really well. Will definitely be coming back”

“Great quality food for a more upscale version of a British lunch. The scallops were outstanding so was the T bone steak in particular as cooked to perfection, but was all great. Lovely restaurant in Hale village and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.”

“I've visited this place multiple times, and it's always a great experience. The staff is always friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a try.”

“I've not had a chippy tea for a long time, and I've not been to this chippy for ever longer. Just getting over the flu I couldn't be bothered cooking so thought I'd go for Fish & Chips. It was a great decision, Im not sure if this place has a new ownership in the last few years but the Fish & chips with mild curry sauce was 10/10. Very impressed, give it a go!”

“This cafe should shout about itself more. Second visit and just as good as the first time. Everything we had was fresh and tasted home cooked. Generous portions and great value. We were spoilt for choice on the menu so tried the five salad option and a slice of the greek spanakopita. Both excellent and couldn’t fault seasoning and flavours. Dessert was great too.”

“Had amazing food. I got the chicken Karahi, which was the nicest I’ve ever had. Really friendly staff. Authentic Indian/Bangladesh food. Highly recommend!!”

“Sue & the team provided a lovely buffet my mum's 70th birthday, plenty of selection. Their service is efficient and will go ubove & beyond to any requests ie dietary, selection, delivery etc. Also followed by calls to check everything is ok etc. Sue takes pride in providing the best customer service. I would certainly recommend. Every guest commented on the quality and variety of the food provided. Thankyou x”

“Mr.MIR and other colleagues are excellent and friendly staff with good service. MIR gave us a perfect chicken mix which was amazing, due to which we came back again and ordered more of thr same i would high recommend that to all customers.”

“Negar is very nice. This is my second visit, served by Negar again. The food and service are really great. Highly recommended! They do early dinner which is an amazing bargain to enjoy!”
