The 30 Best Sit down dining in Manchester

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“This is our local Domino's and they always do a great job. M.Tahir, or delivery driver had our order here extremely quickly. Very pleased with the service, thank you!”

“Ordered tonight and they didnt get the pizza toppings correct, a quick call to the restaurant and they had us a replacement pizza out and it was with us within 20 minutes. Great service here with no fuss or arguing. Perfect service given to fix a small problem. 10/10 would order again just for the fact they took ownership of their mistake and fixed the issue.”

“Love this place!! Great food & the staff are superb Made me feel at home as I’m from London!! Will always come here to get kebabs burgers & chicken Thanks guys & see you soon :)”

“I just happened upon this place as I was walking along the canal at Broadheath. A young couple were sitting on the tow path eating a pizza. “Is it good?” I asked. “Delicious” was the reply. Decided to give it a go. The owner was a delightful fella who is clearly passionate about the food he is serving. Other customers in the place were all there due to “word by mouth”. The menu has the usual stalwarts but also more authentic pizzas too. I had the Friarielli & Nduja. Delicious. The pizza dough was the freshest and lightest that I have EVER had. I felt that I’d had an authentic pizza made by someone who cares rather than a portion-controlled production line made by an employee of a massive company paying minimum wage. A wonderful discovery and I shall visit again. They have a bigger premises in Sale btw. Ciao.”

“Super Smash makes amazing burgers! We tried the Pachos Smash Up, Juicy Lois, and the Original Crispy Chicken Burger. The Pachos Smash Up was our favourite, crispy chicken and juicy beef in one burger! Everything here is fresh because they grind their own meat and mix it themselves. You can really taste the difference. We’ll definitely be back!”

“We ordered food from there for the first time and it was really good. The meat was fresh, and the salads were just the right portion for one person. Delivery was fast as well. Highly recommended!”

“Lovely friendly staff, very cute setting. The food is authentic, filling and very tasty. I recommend the Jollof rice and the curry goat. Had a great chat with the owner about quality of food and having Jerk, French Afro Caribbean food in the area. Amazing food”

“First time ordering a takeaway from here, we got the classic set meal with two veggie curries. Will 100% be ordering again. Great food, portion sizes, and value for money - all with a friendly service!”

“What a gem of a place. This is one of the most authentic and pleasent Italian places I had the pleasure to eat at in a very long time. Let's say that if I lived in theare me and my girlfriend would most definitely weight a few more stones/Kgs. As well as the food it is cosy, attentive stuff, quick enough service (to not make you think they want you out of the door) definitely a must try.... Book of you can as space is limited.”

“Delicious blend of “junk" food with a healthy dose of veggies. Perfect mix of protein, carbs, and greens. Great value, too. Pictured: Panko Box.”

“From the moment we sat down, the whole experience just flowed—the kind of easy, confident service that lets you settle in and focus on the important stuff: the food. We kicked things off with the starter platter, and honestly? Every single item stole a tiny piece of my heart. Fresh, bold, nothing hanging around in the kitchen too long—the dishes landed on our table quicker than my nephew spots Pidgey (my pet pigeon) on the bannister. Then came the lamb shank… unbelievably tender. It didn’t just “fall off the bone”—it practically handed in its resignation. Silky, rich, and cooked with the sort of patience I wish my smart meter had. My wife’s dishes were just as impressive. Every bite looked like it transported her somewhere peaceful—meat and chicken both juicy enough to make you rethink every dry dish you’ve ever tolerated in life. I didn’t manage to grab photos of everyone else’s food, but trust me, the table was full of happy faces and clean plates. If you’re thinking about coming here for dinner, do it. The food’s on point, the service feels natural, and the décor gives the place a warm, modern charm. Fully recommend.”

“Brilliant place, a restaurant where the owner and all members of staff really care about the customer. Personal touch is bring met at the door by the manager. Food is really very good. Decor is lovely. Highly recommended.”

“Always great food here - Fresh and really nice tasting food - This is definitely my favourite place to get curry from. Never had a bad experience so they deserve 5 stars - Thanks”

“Very clean , very helpful the beef And tomato We have just collected was absolutely Delic. Ious”

“Unreal Chinese! Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place earlier. The food was delivered bang on time and was hot and tasty. I got the noodles, salt and pepper chips and tofu in black bean sauce”

“Never had a bad takeaway from the Oriental. Their food is tasty & the team are friendly.”

“Just had the best afternoon tea in the local area. Lovely hot and cold options on the menu, something for everybody.”

“"KARIM" What can I say. Despite it being "Ramadan" He opened up the restaurant for our booking at 5pm tonight despite he had no electricity an hour before we arrived and had been fasting all day. SUPERSTAR. I have never read any review anyone who would extend themselves to this level of service. NO WORDS. Super cute lay out of furniture /tables/spacing between the tables. Such a nice vibe. Had the mixed meze. STUFFED Talking to KARIM he's planning to open up for brunch hrs 11-10pm.His dedication and his enthusiasm for his business to succeed doesn't go unnoticed. DEFINITELY ON MY RETURN LIST TO SEE HIM SUCCEED”

“I go here regularly for lunch as I work nearby, the food is always excellent and the staff are very friendly. The quiche today was especially good, the best I've ever tasted.”

“Really good breakfast for the 3 of us heading to Daisy Nook for a walk. Good coffee's and a great price. Will return soon and recommended!”

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

“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!”

“Great food pleasant staff highly recommend”

“Me and my mum had Sam serving us today, and she was absolutely amazing. I have an allergy and was quite nervous to order but she made the experience so easy and she was so very helpful. Our food was DELICIOUS, as this was our first time trying Barburrito we are very impressed, and we wish Sam all the best!! Will be coming back”

“FISH DISHES 95. Salt & Pepper Fish / £7.10 WOW WHAT A LOVELY TREAT, The fish was battered , lots of pieces, flavoured with JOY. i had chips with mine,£7.60 , but Wow was it worth it, homemade chips made with potatoes ( NOT these oven baked hollow ones )”

“This is our Fifth time in here. Never failed. We had the Brunch menu, my Lily had crêpe and she said it is tastes like pancakes which she likes very much. And my Ami had a nice chicken burger. Already planning the next visit. Keep up the good work guys. Fantastic food and portions are really good.And we had dessert on the house.”

“We had a takeaway. 15 minute wait. Parking on street round corner. Cash only. Good food.”

“Great food, lovely friendly staff.”

“The food is amazing, the staff are always friendly, helpful, honest and nothing is to much trouble for them”
