Restaurant experience in Manchester

“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!”

“One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Staff were very attentive. Was not so busy so a little let down by the atmosphere. The decor was very authentic and colourful.”

“Called today, 11/6/14 on a whim, had time for a sit down lunch and thought "why not?" The welcome was superb, the service excellent and the food....... AMAZING, definitely a place to go back to, we had the buffet at £6.99 per person, complemaentary prawn crackers, fab choice of starters and main courses, was told the buffet menu changes after 2 days to keep customers coming back, definitely worth a visit if you`re in town, A takeaway box is £3 and there were plenty of people choosing this option too. Highly recommended, will see you soon”

“Wonderful Chinese restaurant, lovely staff, great food and a nice environment. Very clean restaurant, great variety of menu choices, average prices. Would definitely recommend this gem.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere. No expense spared on the building and interior. Extremely tasty food and drinks, attentive and friendly staff. Best curry house I know.”

“What can i say. My new go to Italian restaurant. This place is fantastic. Excellent vaule food absolutely spot on and very nice. The place was packed and I mean packed yet service was fast friendly and spot on. The place has a very relaxed and warming vibe and will be heading back time after time.”

“Fantastic range of starters and main courses for all tastes, from mild curries to extra spicy ones. You won’t miss the fact they don’t have meat in. The in restaurant service is excellent. Not the cheapest, but you are paying for quality of ingredients and presentation. Highly recommended for vegetarians, vegans and those wanting to try something different.”

“First time visiting and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The service was excellent ,friendly, attentive, and efficient and the atmosphere was welcoming and well-set. The food was exceptional, with clear attention to quality and flavour. The burgers in particular were outstanding and easily among the best I’ve had in Manchester. An excellent overall experience and a place I would highly recommend.”

“Wow what a lovely place! We came here as a group of 18, the staff were very friendly and very accommodating. They gave us the choice of ordering from the a-la-carte menu or using the party menu - we decided to use the party menu as you got poppadoms, starter, main and side for £16 per person, which made things so much easier when it came to the bill. Everyone in our party commented and how good the food was. Excellent quality and very nice flavours. We liked the fact that the kitchen is on show and you can see the chefs preparing your meal. A great evening had by all, we will definitely be back!”

“It's been 9 months now, that i have been in the UK, had around 7-8 Biryani's but hadn't had a biryani like this. very tasty and full of ghee. loved it. very relaxing atmosphere. Had a peaceful meal. The service was quite fast and the manager was very friendly. As their name says, they do satisfy people with food.”

“Cocktails were 10/10!! It’s hard to make a delicious Pornstar Martini but they so good we went back for seconds!! Lovely atmosphere and our server V was very friendly and made the best cocktails! Cant wait to go back! So good to have a local fab cocktail bar!!”

“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.”

“Great authentic food, one of the few who taste like a slice of their country. Super friendly staff, one of my favourite local restaurants.”

“We went there to celebrate our friend’s birthday - food is delicious - fish is outstanding, with the candles heating it to keep warm - grilled pork is a must try - soft shelled crabs with curry is recommended - the coconut jelly drink is exotic - staff are friendly; before she took the cake out, she had played ‘Happy birthday’ as the background music for us, which is very considerate - reservation is recommended, as it may be crowded on weekends”

“Went for the first time since the change of ownership for my birthday with family. We were all impressed with the refurbishment and the menu. The food choices we all made were excellent, quality food and attentive service. Highly recommend”

“Celebrated my 60th birthday last night. There were 24 of us. Everyone commented on the fabulous food and the service. We had a lovely private area. Well stocked bar. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend. Well done Imran and team. Fabulous.”

“Amazing place, beautiful pizza and fresh pasta and we loved the interior. Super nice vibe and great service. Highly highly recommended”

“Bianca was amazing tonight and looked after us so well. Great food and speedy service too. Thank you”

“Great food good service and a good Night out”

“Felt really welcomed on entering the restaurant, staff were lovely and attentive. We were seated and asked for drinks and they were brought promptly. We ordered the lamb rump and the pork three ways, no starters as I noticed they offered a cheese board for dessert! Food was amazing so was the service. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent restaurant and menu lovely food and great service we stayed here for our wedding and had breakfast after our wedding six years ago and the food and service is still as good as it was then just Ellet”

“Our wedding at the Bellavista was perfect!! I would personally like to thank Gemma the wedding planner who from the initial meet to final moments on the day has been brilliant. She was always there to answer any questions and always replied promptly. Gemma recommended the best suppliers to work with and organised everything perfectly. The wedding was 2 days ago and people are still talking about how good the food was, the canapés were a great hit and the Italian buffet was gorgeous. Everything ran smoothly throughout the day and we couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Me and my daughter called in for some lunch yesterday Fri 25th April. What can I say. Fabulous service and food was delicious and generous portions. I had black pudding bon bons to start and cheese and onion pie which came with chunky chips and a side pot of beans. My daughter had halloumi fries to start and a burger as her main. We were both very full after this . So didnt get chance to try the desserts . Food was hot and freshly made. Service was brilliant excellent staff . Will definitely be calling in again and would highly recommend.”

“Excellent food and service. Steaks were delicious. And the chips were really nice. Just one slight bug bear. They automatically added the service charge to the bill. So if you don't want to pay their service charge you have to tell them to take it off and then pay your own service charge. Surely the point of a service charge, or tip is that the customer gets to decide what they want to pay depending on the service they've had.”

“My Visit to the Opera House Manchester My visit to the Opera House Manchester was an unforgettable cultural experience. This historic theatre, opened in 1912, is one of Manchester’s most elegant and iconic performance venues. With its beautifully restored Edwardian architecture, plush seating, and grand interior, it offers the perfect setting for musicals, concerts, ballets, and drama performances. The atmosphere inside was vibrant and welcoming. The acoustics were excellent, and the staff were friendly and well-organized, ensuring a smooth entry and interval experience. The show I attended was brilliantly produced — a true reflection of Manchester’s rich performing arts scene. Visitor Tips: Book tickets in advance through the ATG Tickets website for the best seats. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to enjoy the lobby and grab a drink at the theatre bar. Photography is usually not allowed during shows, so plan to enjoy the performance fully. How to Reach: The Opera House is located on Quay Street, Manchester M3 3HP, near Deansgate. It’s easily accessible by tram (St. Peter’s Square or Deansgate-Castlefield stops), bus, or a 10-minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road Station. There are also several parking options nearby, including Spinningfields Car Park. A visit to the Opera House is a must for anyone who loves theatre, music, and Manchester’s timeless charm — a perfect evening of culture and entertainment.”

“First time here! We wanted to sit inside, but the tables were a bit narrow, so the staff kindly set us up outside with heating. Super comfy and perfect for a chat. Generous portions, friendly service, and a really relaxed, enjoyable brunch.”

“Hands down, the best Asian food we've ever eaten! I was a bit taken back by its location in a casino. It is catering for their guests and I really didnt expect it to be so nice. But omg! It was stunning. It is the most authentic Chinese/Japanese food. I will be revisiting.”

“We had a wonderful breakfast experience at the Marriott AC Hotel. The food was fresh and well presented, but what made it truly special was the service. Siraj and Meesha were both outstanding — friendly, professional, and attentive throughout. They made sure we had everything we needed and added such a warm touch to the morning. Their hospitality really stood out and made our visit memorable.”

“This is one of the best restaurants i have been to. The staff is very respectful and nice, the food is amazing, fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself is very clean and i was very comfortable. I definitely recommend to go to this place as the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of food. The way they serve the food also looks very nice for your instagram pictures.”

“I love how quick I got seated and when I looked at the menu I was amazed by the Asian food on it. The naan is very tender and soft. The service is also great. And I love how it actually looks royal. The food and drinks are so amazing! I recommend giving them a go!”
