Restaurant with charm in Manchester

“I came in with my granddaughter last week, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Upon walking into the establishment, it felt as if we were transported to New York. As a proud American, I must say I felt right at home! My granddaughter, on the other hand—who is very hard to impress—took her time, but by the time the food arrived, her demeanor had changed. We ordered the Benny's Burger, the schnitzel wrap, and the sweet potato chips. I have to mention that my granddaughter did not make the life of the young lady at the till easy. With the number of notes my granddaughter gave for her schnitzel wrap, I was sure she would be laughed at by our server. Instead, we were met with kind responses, smiles, and absolutely no issues. The food came out very quickly, and all three items we ordered were presented exquisitely! Every note was followed perfectly. The service was probably the best I have experienced in this otherwise abysmal country. I come to England at least twice a year from New York to visit my children and grandkids. I try to give each one time alone with me so I can give each the attention they deserve. My son had mentioned that there was a splendid restaurant I had to try; he has ordered Uber delivery from you a few times. I truly recommend the dine-in experience! I will definitely be returning the next time I come to visit the kids. (I do apologize, as I had intended to share the photographs that were taken. But sadly, only my granddaughter took photos—she has the better phone and therefore the better camera—and she seems to be taking her time sending them to me.)”

“A nice fine dining restaurant with absolutely delicious food. We visited the restaurant for lunch and it was an amazing experience. There are various options for both vegetarian and non vegetarians. The portions were really good. Above all we were welcomed and served by really warm and courteous staff. We would definitely recommend. Note: Visited the place in October 23”

The service was really excellent, the staff were so friendly and genuinely nice, all the people who served us including Kameelah, Nsingi, Arron, Fatih, Rahela & Gerda - thanks to all of you for making us feel so welcome.”

“The cafe is brilliantly located right in the toddler play area at Stamford park. Having a cafe with a toilet is very convenient when I'm out and about with the kids. They have friendly staff, great coffee, lovely atmosphere & fabulous value.”

“My stay at the Townhouse Hotel Manchester was truly wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Check-in was easy and fast, and the team made sure I felt comfortable right away. The room was clean, stylish, and very spacious, with a comfortable bed and everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially loved the modern bathroom and the little touches that made the space feel premium and inviting. The hotel’s atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, creating a perfect balance for both leisure and business travelers. The location is another huge highlight right in the heart of Manchester, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport. Despite being in the city centre, the room was peaceful and quiet, allowing for a great night’s sleep. Overall, the Townhouse Hotel exceeded my expectations. Excellent service, beautiful rooms, and a fantastic location. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester.”

“Came Saturday 3rd December for our Christmas do. We all had food and drinks. It was very busy so our food was miss ordered but once it came it was out of this world. Most of us had loaded fries. Because of the delay we got a discount. The food prices were really reasonable. Would definitely recommend.”

“It was busier than I expected, but staff still found time to be friendly and helpful, we arrived and was shown to a table, then asked to check what we would like then order at the counter, which was fine, no rush. The drinks arrived first after about 10 minutes brought be a member of staff, again pleasant and friendly. What was a surprise was the 'robot' that delivered our food, it was quite comical to see as the staff followed it and put the food on our table. We ordered a breakfast andit was delicious, all the usual suspects in the plate and a rather delicious hash brown, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. All in all a lovely experience”

“My partner and I had a wonderful evening at Borage. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and Veronika runs the dining room with warmth and efficiency. The food is superb with first class flavours and presentation accompanied by excellent wine. All of this at incredibly affordable prices makes it an experience not to be missed! Congratulations to the whole team!!”

“I hosted my engagement party there as they have halls downstairs and upstairs. From the staff, management and owners everyone was so incredibly helpful and friendly. Even dealing with last minute changes they were flexible and professional. Overall I had an amazing experience with a very reasonable price. The food was delicious with plenty of options and the hall was set out beautifully as requested and planned. I would highly recommend Karims restaurant for hosting an event or as a restaurant.”

“Quirky cottage with a modern look.. Nice and clean with a great view over Holmfirth. Excellent location”

“Had my daughters party here for 50 some people and a great night had by all. Manager was very helpful and pleasant and couldn’t do enough for us. Many thanks to her and the staff.”
