Romantic date spots in Manchester

“Pizzas are so fresh and tasty, and the staff very helpful with suggestions too!”

“Brilliant renovation from the former Damson restaurant. The corn-fed chicken with the addition of chicken gravy - very tastey! The baked ham, white sauce pizza was perfect, all washed down with a selection of craft beer. Received amazing service from Sienna! Will be back!”

“Best take away pizza period! You can tell from the first bite they use only fresh ingredients and that they put a lot of time and effort into their dough. Very friendly staff. I can't recommend it enough...”

“We had our server Zen he was very lovely and accommodating to our needs when ordering and serving us.”

“Went here for a after-work meal, and the staff were fabulous. We asked if we could have a veggie banquet as it wasn't listed on the menu and they were so accommodating. The food was really good, and we were made to feel very welcome. Really good veggie food and options. Will definitely be returning.”

“We used this venue as a campervan stopover. Which was mostly OK. When we arrived to pitch up the parking area was pretty well at capacity due to a Bowls match, tis cleared after about 2 hours or so and we were able to pitch up. As this was free we decided to meet with my sister and partner and my son. The 5 of us had a pleasant meal in the pub which we enjoyed. I would suggest that the proprietors consider putting an outside drinking water tap and marked bins for waste recycling. I have no doubt that we shall be visiting again.”

“Amazing food, excellent friendly customer service, immaculate and clean. I can't Highly recommend The Aashiana enough. Either eat in or take away, the food is delicious and prepared how you want it, just ask for less fat or less salt. The staff will be more than welcoming and more than willing to meet your needs. I love this restaurant, its reasonably priced in a lovely and relaxed environment.”

“We order from here a lot. The food is very good quality, great prices, fresh and piping hot on delivery. The portions are good. We have eaten in too and the staff whether in house or delivery are always polite and respectful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Nice chicken shawarma best shawarma shop in longsight”

“Amazing authentic food and brilliant friendly service. We ordered from the evening set menu. Fresh Lobsters dish made to order and cooked to perfection. We visited during December and even had evening entertainment. Perfect evening all ages. Plenty of parking (4 hours on first floor, ground floor is 90mins as ground floor is mainly used by supermarket customers). One of the best Chinese restaurants in Manchester. Highly recommended.”

“Exceptional taste. For the 30 minutes I was there and eating the food, I didn't miss Pakistan at all. What a delicious Lamb boneless Karahi & Chargha! If the chef was a female, I would have offered to marry her just so I could have this food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Grateful to the owners of Daawat restaurant for offering pure desi taste in England. Wish they can open a branch near Manchester University so I can eat even more often. Ps: apologies for the bad pics, my focus was on enjoying the desi food.”

“Great little place. Lots of tables in and out of cafe. Friendly staff. Tuna melt panini and chips. Latte Reasonably priced. Just what we were looking for”

“Was sceptical after seeing a few of the bad reviews on here but we dined there yesterday evening and it was delicious. We were in and out with an hour. Service was amazing and the food was incredible. Will definitely be back.”

“Very good burgers indeed. Just tried their "Any burger, chips and drink", lunch time offer, which is advertised in the front window for only £5.99. At that price, they are even beating Maccies for value. Really impressed with the Champions burger and the triple cheeseburger. The chips were hot and fresh, but were only good, not great. I would. If management read this review, may I suggest adding some red salt/paprika to the chips. Anyway, Champions is definitely worth a try. I will definitely be going back sometime soon.”

“This place is absolutely fantastic for people who have a craving for Ethiopian and Eritrean traditional foods and drinks. I've had the pleasure of dining here numerous times, and I've noticed that some customers aren't quite as pleased as they used to be.”

“Service was excellent and the food was really nice, especially the desserts. The prices were quite reasonable.”

“Visited for Sunday lunch for my partner's birthday. The food was delicious - we both had the belly pork for a main course. 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.”

“Park on the side street, this place is small with two tables so if you’re coming with a big crew you maybe need to stand up and eat, the music is ok but the volume definitely needs notching down a bit. Me and two friends came and ordered the kings platter which came with dirty fries, wings, chicken breast, zinger burgers and more. The star of the show was the zinger burger and dirty fries which was 9/10 so definitely try them. A lil arcade machine in the corner for your pleasure to reminisce old times. Payment via cash or contactless and they also do milkshakes well. The owner is very passionate about the business and he has a team of ladies working behind and everything seems to work seamlessly. I will go again cuz I enjoyed the zinger burger and dirty fries.”

“First time coming to eat at Jaypur and was immediately greated by the manager and he seemed lovely, the food was amazing and the waitresses were friendly and offered us great customer service. Very nice atmosphere to be around I highly recommend”

“Had an amazing dinner; the fish tacos, and halloumi and broccoli dish were our favourites. Enjoyed the wine and we shared the basque cheesecake to finish. Food was sensational and all the staff really friendly and we didn't feel rushed considering it was a Friday evening.”

“Very good first impressions. Everything was delicious and set a really high standard. It had the right level of spice and nice combination of flavours. Chips were not soggy and my grilled chicken burger with double cheese was cooked to perfection. Service was professional and also very welcoming. Was informed food would be ready for collection within 15 minutes. And that it was. Food was Fresh. Nice little takeaway, definitely recommend.”

“The pesto was absolutely incredible!! fresh, flavourful, and perfectly balanced with an amazing atmosphere. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service from our waiter, Everton. He was friendly, welcoming and made our time here enjoyable. Amazing food and amazing service. Highly recommend!”

“I recently dined at Chef Diao, and it was an outstanding experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for family dinners or a night out with friends. The menu offers a fantastic selection of authentic Chinese dishes, and every bite was bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the Casserole, it was cooked to perfection! The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing our experience even further. Overall, I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings!”

“We had a wonderful meal here the other night. The atmosphere for a Thursday night was great. Good to see it busy again after covid. The restaurant was warm which quite a few places I’ve been recently hasn’t been! Food was delicious. We all had starters, I had the Arancini was good. Everyone else ate all of there’s and good comments all round. Pizzas were wonderful as ever. The margarita cocktails were one of the best I’ve had. The service was good just a little slow. Thank you Mozzerellas team. As someone who’s been dining with you for 10 years it’s great to see you keep the standard high!”

“Brilliant chips and excellent service! Came and gave us the chips outside! Loved it 10/10 reccomend”

“Staff are so lovely, kind and accommodating. Food is absolutely phenomenal and delicious. Fast delivery. Definitely would order from here again! Top tip, try the crispy duck & vermicelli pancake rolls they’re delicious!! Thank you again staff at Golden Dragon, you’ve smashed it & got a customer for life!”

“Tried the pie menu, first time I’ve had food in here since the refurbishment and omg am I glad I came! As always the staff and atmosphere were lovely, the food for under £15 was top tier. Really enjoyed the pie I had and the food! Would recommend, so glad this local is on my doorstep will be eating from the new menu again ❤️”

“I've been to Oldham many, many times, and I've only just noticed they had a rollers. The Pecan cinnamon roll is soooo good. Seems like a nice place to eat in, and the service I received was very good.”

“I see quite a few people have negative 1* reviews but my takeaway experience was outstanding!! The food was out of this world literally, the pounded yam nice and soft, Banga Soup was just mouthwatering, every bite just made me want more! And the Taba (don't get me started) I used to have Taba as a kid and throughout my years never found a place that made Taba the way this one place made it when I was young... Tried this place for my birthday and the Taba was spot on like they were the ones that made it when I was little... 100/10 - seriously.”

The menu includes hearty mains, fresh salads, and a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Desserts are made in-house, featuring cakes like pistachio and lime or banana loaf with cream cheese frosting. The café also serves a range of coffees, specialty teas, and wines. Located in the city centre, it’s a great spot to rest and refuel while exploring the gallery or nearby attractions.”
