Tea lover in Manchester

“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 the pleasure of visiting Cameron’s Tea and Coffee Shop for the first time today, and I can confidently say it was an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious, with a fantastic selection to choose from. It's clear they take pride in providing high-quality service and food. I’ll definitely be returning soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great food and friendly service!”

“Started going here once a week for breakfast. Had a tasty English breakfast with 2 pieces of toast. All beautifully cooked. Also had a cappuccino. Lovely service. Keep promising to have something else because everything sounds lovely but just love the cooked breakfast.”

“Went for brunch and it's such a cute little cafe, really friendly staff. I have the special Turkish scrambled egg and it was so good! I would definitely recommend it. Really nice food and reasonably priced. I also had the art of tea blend and it was good but a bit too floral for me, but still good. They have some really good food and drink options.”

“Really enjoyed my breakfast and coffees x 2. It was hot just how I like my food and not luke warm. Staff are really nice and friendly.”

Absolutely loved the food , a little expensive I would say but definitely worth it , best BBQ chicken cheese toastie I've had and the salad that accompanied it was gorgeous. Just what was need on a hot day. I would definitely recommend this place !”

“Good food that is competitively priced. This is a community venture, so we'll worth supporting as the profits go to the community cafe.”

“Had a wonderful experience this morning. Ruby welcomed me with a smile and suggested an addition to my order which was phenomenal. Carlos brought my full order to my table and made sure I had everything I needed. Catherine bused the dishes from my table when I was finished and ensured I was satisfied with everything. I had a lovely conversation with all three of them after I was finished and left feeling very thankful this was the coffee shop I chose while I was in town for a day. Very personable pleasant experience”

“Jam sponge was so soft and delicious. Same with the Matilda cake. Young boy who served us was polite and displayed excellent customer service.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Lovely Afternoon Tea Experience We had such a wonderful time at this afternoon tea room. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh samosas, perfectly baked mini burgers, and a lovely selection of cakes that tasted just as good as they looked. Everything felt relaxed, unhurried, and thoughtfully put together. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy something special. We left feeling full, happy, and already excited to return. Highly recommended!”

“First time visit and the breakfast, pastries and drinks were amazing! Will be coming back as soon as I can!”

“Lovely cafe in a great location, the menu offers a great range of hot drinks , cakes and sandwiches. I personally had a nice coffee and slice of carrot cake. Would recommend especially as staff are so lovely and polite. The man who served me (Adam) was extremely helpful as I am new to the area gave good recommendations. I look forward to coming back to the cafe on another sunny day!”

“The welcome was great and we were made to feel really welcome. Food was good for my husbands birthday afternoon tea. Definitely recommend.”

“May be a small place but it is consistently excellent food and lovely guy. I bought recently to take away 2 whole small toffee/nut/choc maple syrup cheesecakes…..they were divine as described by the guest I served it to.”

“Very nice food would recommend great prices and extremely friendly service”

“Great sense of community support. Thank you guys”

“Excellent coffee, nice and cozy environment. The owner was a lovely person”

“Our kitten Louie has stayed here twice now with a third time booked in. The owner Heidi is so lovely, kind and incredibly accommodating and takes such good care of all the animals! The pens are very spacious and have lots of toys to keep them entertained. We know he’s in safe hands and honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!”

“✨Amazing Indian Vegetarian / Vegan Cafe✨ We visited for the first time today as my partner is obsessed with Chai at the moment. For drinks I had the biscoff coffee shake which was sensational, the coffee wasn’t too overpowering and the roast / blend choice was delicious. My partner had the home brewed Masala Chai which he thoroughly enjoyed, and the pot of tea he received was massive! (We stayed a bit longer just so he could finish it as it was that good) For mains we had the Indian breakfast muffin (vegan sausage, Indian spiced hash browns, and a bbq tamarind chutney) and the Chai Buckwheat pancakes which came with syrup and berries. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich, the chutney was amazing and really pulled everything together. Though I didn’t try the pancakes they were gone within minutes. Both me and my partner agreed portion sizes were bob on, we felt full without feeling overly lethargic. Though we didn’t have the opportunity to try them the cakes and Indian deli looked delicious. Our entire meal with drinks cost under £20 which I think is ridiculously reasonably priced considering the quality and portion sizes of the food and drink. (Not to mention the very quick service!) It is also worth noting they seemed to have an extensive ice cream range. All staff were super friendly, the woman serving us really seemed to care about our experience there and we were given customer service you can’t simply buy without there being a true passion for what she was serving. I would highly recommend dining here, and we look forward to visiting again.”
