Savory options in Manchester

“delicious burrito! love the bbq pork filling and smoky chipotle sauce! very friendly service from the staff on duty, and the seating area is air conditioned (i visited during a heatwave) the menu is clear and easy to understand, and has a simple/transparent price structure - it's reallt nice that there were no hidden extra charges for each veg or sauce you add!”

“Amazing place for authentic Indian street food! Every dish was bursting with flavor and reminded me of home cooking. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Indian flavors.”

“Very nice atmosphere and large screen with plenty of comfortable sitting, the one was choose it was 4K HD screen with leather sofas, perfect place to spend some quality time. It’s inside the print works so you can either drive or walk in.”

“I had an excellent experience at Vapiano’s thanks to the outstanding service from a gentleman named Michael. He was friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. His warm attitude and professionalism made the visit truly enjoyable. Michael is a great example of exceptional customer service — he made my dining experience memorable.”

“Have been eating here and getting takeaways for about 5 years. Always quick, always friendly helpful staff. Cooked freshly and some of the most delicious curries in Manchester or anywhere else. Consistently great. 5-Stars! *****”

“Stayed here when I went to a concert in Manchester. From the moment I arrived at the hotel, Levon made me feel welcome. He greeted me with a genuine smile and handled the check-in process quickly and professionally. Even though I had a few special requests, he was patient, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of without any hassle. What really stood out to me was how friendly and approachable he was throughout my stay. Whether I needed directions, restaurant suggestions, or help with a small issue in my room, Levon was always available and eager to help. He has a calm, polite manner that instantly puts you at ease. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and cares about the guest experience. My stay felt smooth and stress-free. He’s a real asset to the hotel, and I’ll definitely return — partly because of the great service I received at the front desk.”

“Awesome food! A must visit if your at T2. Great selection and friendly staff. Fairly priced.”

“Excellent, authentic curries. The dishes are all so full of flavour and so distinct. Often with takeaway curries, you find the sauces are all very generic. My son really loves the child friendly curry. So useful to be able to reheat when you need it. Would really recommend”

“Great place. Nok is lovely, the food is delicious and served nice and hot. Would highly recommend this place. Based on walkers club off long lane.”

“***Updated review 28.08.2025*** Food still high quality, super tasty. Incredible value. The mesquite wings are the bomb. The house flavoured chips are just spot on. Theses guys know how to flavour. The dough give me a reason to live. ______________________________________________ Best pizza. Great dough base. Quality ingredients, made with care. Reasonable.”

“I would highly recommend this place if you are love Indian cuisine, I had gone there for dinner with my wife and we absolutely loved the food. Good food quality wonderful presentation and delicious taste we both enjoyed the food and would definitely visit again. Hats off to the chef for the amazing food and very friendly staff.”

“Found this place using maps and it said over 4*. Should have been a 5*. The food was really good and service too. They had more delivery drivers coming in than McDonald’s. That’s how good the food was. Will definitely go back when in Manchester”

“Great open air cafe, right next to the river. Bit off the beaten track but worth finding.”

“We had a fabulous Christmas dinner today. The service was excellent and the food was cooked to perfection. I recommend that if you’re in the area call in you won’t be disappointed.”

“An absolute hidden gem. The breakfast was amazing, with good quality products, and extremely well priced. Staff friendly and polite. Can't recommend this place enough. Easy 5***** review.”

“I can only echo what has already been said: this is a very nice cafe that deserves to do well. + Excellent coffee from local coffee roaster (Blossom). Lovingly prepared: thoughtful and attention to detail Very friendly and welcoming staff Good choice of cakes The food menu is limited but clever for a very small venue. Brunch and breakfast options. It's also very reasonably priced. No real negatives to report: a couple of minor things could have been better on our food (e.g. toasting/warming the bagel before adding the ingredients), but they're very minor. We will definitely come back and I'll get a bacon sandwich on the way to work soon.”

“If you're looking for a delightful little coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further, The North Coffee Shop is owned by John who has many years of experience and makes mouth watering food, he is incredibly friendly and has created a wonderful warm and inviting atmosphere, there is something for everyone and all made with love by John himself. He runs Greek nights also and the dishes are fantastic, with loads of variety. I would highly recommend anyone to drop in and sample some of John's tasty treats, you won't be disappointed xx”

“Accidently today we have discovered that little gem. We were heading to take away that turned out to be shut down. My husband decided to give it a go and try out new place that took over and it was amazing. Very kind and polite staff (maybe owners not sure), food was absolutelly delicious, very presentable in take away trays. We have ordered few meals. I had korean spicy (very spicy) chicken with rice/kimchi/ 2 small pieces of sushi/ 2 crispy gyoza dumplings and 2 veg spring rolls. Portion was satisfying, it cost £9 or £9.50 ( worth every penny) none of the sauces were mixing or touching. It was full of different flavours. I honestly enjoyed my meal. My husband had katsu curry with chicken and same sides as i had. Chicken was deliciously crispy and sauce was wonderful. My mother in law had pad thai, portion was very big, and she enjoyed her meal until the last bite. We had also 2 different types of sushi. Can tell it was done fresh and very carefully. It was very presentable. I think tomorrow we will try other their meals. Very nice place with kind staff, i wish them the best and hope they keep up their high standard. We are glad we found this place.”

“We come here every other week, every time family comes to visit we bring them here. This place is amazing! The best coffee and food in Poynton, real Sicilian food, great atmosphere and the most lovely staff!”

“Been here a few times ,absolutely love the food and staff are amazing , friendly and service quick . The cooked breakfast is lovely and filling . I recommend eating here without a doubt . TJ.”

“We can never ever fault this restaurant. Local to us but worth a drive if you live outside Heaton Moor. So glad they are back open after a holiday closure. Just wished they did orders to be delivered although it's no effort to go to the restaurant and see the lovely staff. The food is fabulous and when family come over from Ireland they ask if we can book a table. Book now you won't be disappointed.”

“Great little butty van. Friendly chaps with good banter. I had a bacon, sausage and egg breakfast sandwich and it was spot on. Can't fault it.”

“I asked Ali if he could cater for a family gathering I was having at home. I could not have been happier with the wonderful food that was made for us. Every single item was delicious. The lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken was delicious as was the gravy made from scratch! Loved the sides. Tiramisu and rice pudding were the perfect two desserts to keep everyone happy! Thank you Ali and the team - I wouldn’t think twice about going for this again.”

“Absolutely delicious food. Everything we ordered was spot on. Friendly staff who make you feel very comfortable and are very helpful. They do have outdoor seating which will be good for wheelchair and pram user's and the have toilets as well. You must try this vegetarian place. I will definitely be returning.”

“Just had a lovely delicious meal with family at Juniper Hale! Thanks to Nancy for being so friendly and helpful. We hope to come back again soon for the white chocolate and pistachio French toast which sooo yummy!”

“Forget the unhealthy McDonald’s and KFC nearby this is where you want to be eating! Super tasty authentic Thai food. Quick, easy and Healthy! Could do with a little smartening up but don’t let that put you off the food is amazing.!”

“Best chippy in irlam without a doubt. Still priced well, portions still good.”

“Highly rate this Cafe. I go here all the time and never disappointed with the food or service. The lamb & chips on a Wednesday is unreal.”

“First time here. Took our dogs with us and the staff even gave them a free sausage as a snack. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Good atmosphere. Would recommend and will definitely return”
