“Amazing experience, finally i found the perfect hair stylists right in the city centre. They both are super friendly, available, professional and in a minute they have understood my needs. it absolutely feel like back home in Italy. Alessandro and Francesco are really two superstars and can'twait to go back there! I strongly recommend to visit them and enjoy your new hair style!”

“It was my first escape room and it was really fun. Our host Sham and all the other staff was super nice and helpful. We got guided through the escape room and eventually managed to solve it with a little help. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend. We did the blackbeard's treasure room, but i'm sure the other ones are fun as well”

“An amazing place to bring your child(ren). Each class is different and fun. Becky and Loz do a fantastic job of bringing so much excitement, colourful props. Their cheerful and empathetic personality, makes you feel valued. Me and my girl always looked forward to the classes. Thank you for offering your services which are highly recommended. If you've got a child or children under 4 please do them a favour and bring them to toddler sense. It was the best thing I ever done to bring my girl here. She loved this placed and so did I! ❤️”

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“Professor Fehily is one of the most honest and compassionate people I have ever met, he has given me my life back and I will always be in his debt. A massive thank you to the whole team at Spire Manchester, and if you are unfortunate to ever need a hip replacement at 36 like me, please give Max and his team a call. Thank you all.”

“I can honestly say this school feels like a second home. From the very first day, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the teachers made it easy to settle in. They really care, not just about grades, but about each student as a person. What I appreciate most is the sense of community – you don’t just come here to learn, you also feel supported, listened to, and encouraged to grow. It’s a place where children can learn home from home. The classrooms are bright and full of energy, and there’s always someone ready to help if you’re struggling. The school brings families together too, with events and activities that make you feel like you belong to something bigger. Whether it’s academics, creativity, or just finding your confidence, this school gives every student the chance to shine. It’s more than just a school – it’s a community. Anna was amazing helping us all the way through. Thank you”

“Swing north is a fun and friendly place to go to learn to swing dance and meet new people. It is brilliantly run, totally inclusive, with new fun lessons and events being introduced regularly! A fantastic community of kind and musical people. A joy to be part of!”

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“Wonderful cafe/bar in the heart of Chinley Village. Stumbled across it today and will definitely be back. I had a few craft ales but will be back for the food and coffee, looked delicious. Also can't speak highly enough of the staff. Sarah was particularly great.”

“I had HD brows & Biab Gel manicure with design at Bella spa Manchester City Centre amazing and quick service and came out even better than I wanted them too!! Exactly like my inspo photo. So worth it!!”

“Early inspirations is an absolute amazing nursery. My daughter is 2 years old and she has settled in that nursery very well. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning and I have seen a massive improvement in my daughter's understanding and learning development. Thanks to the staff, everyone there are soo friendly and helpful, I like this nursery very much. I appreciate all the hard work the staff go through Thank you”

“I can't recommend the Doggie House highly enough, everyone is fantastic they really care and love all the dogs that go. We lost our dog in December she had been going to the Doggie house for 8years or so, our new girl wolfie is now going and I know when I leave her she is haveing a great play time. I would definitely recommend the Doggie house.”

“Dishoom Spinningfields is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester. When it first opened back in 2018, it was Dishoom’s first restaurant in Northern England, and since then they’ve set a remarkable standard of both food and service quality and certainly left me coming back for more. The interior is super impressive, cool and unique. Dishoom is based on the old Irani cafés in Bombay, and the interior is so large and feels like no other restaurant in the city. My go-to dishes are the Chicken Ruby with Basmati Rice and occasionally the Gunpowder Potatoes. The portion sizes are generous, and the rich spices of the curry are super good — it’s obvious they use great quality ingredients and seasonings. For drinks, again the selection is vast, with my favourites being the regular Chai and the Mango Lassi, which are both really good. There is always a staff member walking around topping up tap water, so you’ll never go thirsty. The pricing is a little high, but I feel it is worth it for the quality. Matka Holders can also roll a dice at the end of their meal to potentially earn everything for free, food and alcohol included, during certain times. This makes it all fun, being able to put the meal on the roll of a dice. Due to having an allergy, I can scan a QR code on the menu for the latest information, and all the staff members are well trained in dealing with allergies. They’re aware of coeliac disease and the danger of cross-contamination, and always keep my items separate from my friends’ when I dine in a group. Overall, this is one of the places to be in Manchester if you’re looking for good food with fantastic allergy awareness, overall ambience/vibes, food and service quality. It’s a place that you can go for a special occasion or even a quick lunch (although a lunch menu / meal-deal offer would make it even more enticing for sure!).”

“I had a wonderful experience at Adore Salon. It was dreary day which soon turned around when I was warmly greeted by Adeline and Spiro. My hair was washed with great care and then while having it trimmed I was offered a warm beverage which was greatly appreciated after being soaked from the rain outside. Then dried and styled, I am truly pleased with how my hair looks. Adeline listened to how I wanted it and checked to make sure I was happy each step of the way. A lovely pair who professionalism and friendlyness shone throughout, thank you both so much and I look forward to my next hair appointment with you!”

“I've been a regular here for a few years and can easily say it's the best barbers I've been to in Manchester! If you want it done right, go here. Always good vibes and attention to detail from Tino and the team, worth every penny. Nice one lads.”

“My first time at Everyman and I was blown away by the fantastic customer service. As soon as we arrived we were wonderful greeted and shown a table before we waited for the screen to be open. A lovely guy with a beard and glasses came and sat to take our order - I couldn’t get over how incredibly friendly and polite he was. The service was worth every penny and the food was delicious.”

“Great social club! Worth every penny of membership fee, 2 snooker tables, one pool table, a nice Dartboard and lovely beer garden. Immaculate all round including the toilets. Great locals, staff, location and more importantly.... great beer! Never had an off pint and changes regularly! Enjoy!”

“Amazing nail salon! BIAB is always done to the highest standard. Lily, Jess and the girls are great and have created something really special. A place people can go and relax and have a good chat with others! No other place in Manchester I’d go to get my nails done!”

“I visited the Consulate last Friday and was greeted with professionalism and respect by everyone I interacted with. Thank you for the fantastic service.”

“Visited 6 /12/24 for Xmas party. Large car park, drink prices OK. Dj had us dancing.”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“Pam's web site and free downloads were recommended to me by a friend. I have found the downloads I have tried to be invaluable. I noticed positive changes from the first time I used them in that I was a lot less anxious and much more relaxed. I am also sleeping better. I have continued to use them regularly and am becoming increasingly more resilient. The words Pam uses and the sound of her voice are very powerful. I am extremely thankful to her for all of her help.”

“Thank you Keith for making my bespoke bangle. I wasn't really sure how I wanted it to look and left the design up to you and WOW! I'm so glad I did, it's absolutely stunning and very sparkly.”

“My boyfriend and I visit this restaurant every couple of months as a treat. This is by far my favourite restaurant in Manchester, the food is amazing, the actual cooking of the food is a really fun experience but most importantly the service is phenomenal. I’ve visited about 8 times now and have never waited more than 10 seconds for service, the waitresses and waiters are so on top of everything and very helpful for suggestions and how long to cook each item of food. We usually spend between £30-£50 between the two of us and have a loyalty stamp card that we use everytime we visit for a free item! Cannot recommend enough!”

“Really enjoyable Valentines meal here yesterday evening . Glass of champagne on the house on arrival, warm and romantic environment, tasty 3 course meal. Great mushroom starter, followed by sirloin steak and sticky toffee pudding,. Thank you Karen we had a lovely evening”

“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!!”

“The people are nice and friendly and it's a good atmosphere and the beer is good to”

“I had an amazing experience at this laser salon! The staff were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The results have been fantastic, even after just the first session—it worked amazingly well! The clinic is spotless, and the equipment is top-notch. They really take the time to explain everything and tailor the treatment to your needs. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality laser services. I would 100% recommend it to others as well. Thank you for the excellent service!”

“Review of the Breakfast at Vita Student I’m genuinely impressed with the breakfast provided at Vita Student. Every weekday morning, students can enjoy a generous and varied buffet that includes cereals, sweet and savoury pastries, bagels, waffles, fresh fruits, yoghurt, salads, and a selection of cold meats and cheeses — all completely free of charge between 7am and 10am. It’s the perfect way to start the day: nutritious, well-balanced, and full of options. The quality and consistency of the breakfast really set Vita Student apart from other accommodations. Highly recommended! Amir Guemari”

“Very friendly and helpful staff, more than happy to guide you in store and get items down for you. We were served by Kynan, he was polite and very easy to talk to.”
