The 30 Best Traditional classics in Manchester

“Fantastic professional service received yesterday by Chris. My Husband hates shopping for shoes as he has little patience trying on shoes that rarely fit him from the usual High Street stores. He needed a new pair of Brogue Shoes and he had observed the staff from outside this store attending to a customer and he had been in to the store and was very impressed. After almost an hour, of trying on shoes, we eventually found the right shoes, with fitting and expert advice from Chris. My Husband was very happy with his birthday present of the Loake Edward Brogue Shoes in the beautiful Mahogany colour. We will definitely be back for another pair of shoes or boots as this experience was well worth the trip in to Manchester. Please keep up your good work and your exceptional service.”

“Absolutely over the moon with my latest bouquets. Every time I've bought flowers from Blooms, I have not been disappointed. They are beautiful, fresh and last. I made a specific request for roses recently and was not disappointed. Blooms went over and above to fulfil my order. Much appreciated. Thank you”

“Clean place, friendly and fast service. They also go round the edges with a cut throat which is great (many places won't).”

“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.”

“Always been top class in customer service, had multiple weddings in the family and Andaaz has always helped us, we’ve bought shalwar kameez and waistcoats and prince jackets for big groups of boys and men, it’s so nice when all the boys are dressed the same on those special days. They are very affordable compared to other brands and the quality is beautiful and I cannot complain. Every year me and my family also buy Jubbas for eid from their wide selection and all sorts of other Islamic items (Tasbihs, prayer hats, abayas etc). May Allah bless their business immensely!”

“Ever meandered through Chorlton Park and missed the Tibetan cafe? Well, I finally gave it a go and oh boy, what a joy! Snug by the playground, it's perfect for foodie families, picnic punters, and anyone on the prowl for friendly faces and hearty portions! Tried the sha sha chicken and the momos, both worthy contenders, but it was the cauliflower stir-fry with rice and veggies that stole my heart (and stomach). This humble veggie is transformed into a showstopper so delectable, it might just compel you to write poetry. So, gather the kiddos, nab a sunny spot and get ready for a taste of Tibet that'll have you planning your next visit before you've even left!”

“Had knowledgeable staff and all the supplies I needed for a cigar social with friends. Was able to by Asylums there”

“Had a lovely meal here last weekend I'm a fussy eater usually so this place was definitely out of my normality but I was on holiday so said let's give it a go, Had the garlic bread as a starter and went for the Margherita as a main, was pleasantly surprised by how delicious both were! Would absolutely have a look if you're in the area , staff are lovely and very personable”

“The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and they made us feel right at home. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality, and the whole experience felt like true value for money. This is definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic, well-prepared Italian food. I’ll absolutely be coming back!”

“It was a fantastic time we had, and the staff was ever so helpful and pleasant! Really nice atmosphere too. The meals were gorgeous, we are sure to go back soon for more!”

“Mr. Zeeshan provided exceptional service, ensuring a positive experience. The cuisine was outstanding, offering a diverse selection of choices at reasonable price points.”

“I reguarly come to this barber's to get my 3-year-old son's haircut. This barber has the option of children sitting in a toy car that doubles as a barber's chair, which my son really loves to sit in. Brother Araaz always shows a great deal of patience with him, as he is very fidgety and has taken the time to build a great relationship with him. I am always very impressed with the mid fade haircut, as is my son and wife. Recently, brother Araaz also kindly agreed to shave my newly-born daughter's head, as per our religious custom. He did an excellent job and really went the extra mile in using a variety of tools, such a shock brand new trimmer and two types of razors. He took his time, gave her plenty of breaks and was always attractive to her needs. I would highly recommend this barber. The shop is very clean and welcoming and you won't be disappointed with the service you receive.”

“If you're looking for some delicious and authentic Italian street food in Manchester Arndale, then Wolf is the place to be. They offer a variety of options including wraps, salads, and pizzas. I've tried their pizza and it was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful too. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!”

“Really nice food, great service too, got complimentary Meze and Turkish tea too with our order.”

“Absolutely loved this hotel. It is a short walking distance from the train station, easy to access. The building looks amazing and the rooms are just fab! It is a proper hotel room but very well equipped even had a small kitchen installed giving a feeling of an RBnb so you can cook your own meals if you want. Nice and clean bathroom with some nice brands of shampoo and body wash. Also had iron and hair dryer. Oh, and the view was stunning, staff was superfriendly. Wifi was quick, easy to connect and even the staircase looks beautiful. Highly recommended accomodation if you visit Manchester.”

“great service. barber does a brilliant job and takes time and care. Thank you very much”

“I asked Ryan's Italian to cater a works event in Manchester City centre and ordered 20 pizzas. The pizzas were delivered on time and hot. All night I was being asked where I ordered the pizzas from as everyone was loving them. Thank you very much for catering our event!”

“Relaxed little place, absolute gem for sushi, and I have to callout the cocktails - they're so affordable and are yummy. I've been here so many times now with different friends and even just once for a few cocktails. Always been excellent. Absolutely addicted to the salmon sashimi bowl, my definite go to. The platters are amazingly worth it (I used to live in London so...), portion size was SO GOOD, quality SO GOOD (see pics) Never get hot food here so can't really comment but can confirm it smells and looks yummy.”

“Came in after work for a quiet bite and left very happy. Lady at the till was lovely, the special fried rice was a good portion and very filling, prices very reasonable.”

“Lovely place, right next to Heaton Park metro. Only had a brew and a cake but it’s spacious, light and airy, with nice, big booths and a sunny back yard (looks like a good set up for DJ’s too) Coffee was good, sweet stuff was from Silver Apples, so pretty familiar and more than decent quality. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely head back and try some proper food and drinks soon”

“Tasty, appealing food. Good service and yummy mocktails. We tried a lot of dishes and I can say that this is definitely a higher end Indian, not drowned in sauces, these dishes were well balanced, full of flavour and spiced well. Sauces coat like a marinade should. I highly recommend the fish and prawn dishes. The sizzling main was impressive and tasted fabulous and fresh See photos”

“Very efficient service and top quality stock. The seller goes above an beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.”

“Booked in with Jack Buckley to cut the hair of my seven year grandson, and Jack was brilliant with him. My grandson loves his new hair. 5/5.”

“Very nice mill shop selling finest cashmere and woollen clothing and accessories.”

“Beautiful shop filled with stunning furniture. We bought a gorgeous 60s teak easy chair with mustard yellow upholstery. It is perfect for our living room and is so comfy. I always take a peak in when passing by as they have absolute gems.”

“Brilliant dance academy! My kids have been attending for two years now, couldn't be happier. The teachers are incredibly helpful and professional, creating a fun and welcoming environment. I've seen my kids grow so much in confidence since they started. They truly enjoy every class, and their passion for dance continues to blossom. Highly recommend this academy to any parent or themselves looking for a great dance experience for their children!”

“Well spoken staff well manerd. Nice Freindly staff. Offer a range of hot food. Love the fish and chips”
