Unique dining experience in Wilmslow

“A truly wonderful place for an authentic Italian meal and fabulous atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. Although there are a few Domus Italia or Casa Italia restaurants in Manchester the Didsbury one does not feel like it part of a chain of faceless restaurants. It has a family run vibe and individual atmosphere. It's not a big place but that makes it so much nicer.”

“Amazing street food! Must tries chicken kothu, chilli paneer, chicken noodles, momo’s and pav bhaji Delicious chaat, generous portions, and really friendly staff. Great value for money – a must-visit in Rusholme.”

“It is a very cosy place, with delicious food and very friendly staff. I would highly recommend to visit them if you are a Thai food lover.”

“Love this place, it truly is a hidden gem in Wilmslow. My sanctuary to go and work in peace, staff are amazing from Becky leading the way with her big smile it really feels like home. Food as you can see is always yummy and allows me to be at peace whilst working or even if friends want to pop in to have lunch it's the best treat for loved ones!”

“Brilliant pub, with a fantastic landlord, Tommy Grogan. The oldest pub landlord in the UK. Fantastic mural by local charity, Withington Walls, on side of the pub too.”

“This is our 2nd visit here ( we dont live locally) so our visita are far apart. The food on both occasions was delicious. We shared the CAMEMBERT for two, with 4 slices of toasted Ciabatta and red onion relish. Extremely tasty. I had the Lentil Cottage pie with vegetables. Really tasty. Hunters chicken was very tasty too. We ate outside. Then went inside for a coffee and to investigate this lovely old house. I read and looked at the photographs on the walls and found out it had belonged to The Boddington Family. Staff were lovely. Very helpful and friendly.”

“Absolutely amazing, great food, staff really good and atmosphere amazing. Clean and friendly, really recommend and all freshly prepared.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A wonderful Afghan dining experience!” I recently visited Afghan Cuisine Restaurant and was truly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavours, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. My favourites were the [insert your favourite dishes, e.g., Kabuli Pulao, Mantu dumplings, or lamb kebabs], which tasted homemade and comforting. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere — perfect for both family meals and special occasions. If you’re looking to enjoy authentic Afghan food in a friendly setting, I can’t recommend Afghan Cuisine Restaurant enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Having been a devoted customer for over 20 years, I can confidently say Al Madina on Wilmslow Road is one of the best places in Manchester for truly authentic Pakistani food. Every visit feels like a trip back home, thanks to the rich, genuine flavors and traditional cooking that never compromise on quality. If you’re new to Al Madina, the lamb karahi and chicken karahi are absolute must-tries — both packed with perfectly balanced spices and tender meat that melts in your mouth. The saag here is also excellent, creamy and flavorful without being overpowering. And if you love meat, the lamb chops are simply mouth-watering, grilled to perfection with a smoky, juicy finish that keeps you coming back for more. What elevates the experience even further is the outstanding customer service. Usman’s warm and attentive approach is truly 10/10, making every visit feel personal and welcoming. For anyone craving authentic Pakistani cuisine in Manchester, Al Madina is a timeless favorite that I’ll keep returning to for many more years.”

“I’ve tried Aroma a few times - the food is delicious, fresh and always served piping hot. I tried the tandoori mixed grill, garlic naan, biryani and chicken jalfrezi which were fresh and full of flavour. Portion sizes are always very generous too. Customer service is brilliant and the staff are friendly and always take time to listen to my order carefully. One of the best curries I’ve had and the price is decent too - why go anywhere else? Aroma Wilmslow is now my go to place when I want Indian food. Seriously give it a try - you won’t be disappointed!!!”

“Exceptional Service – A Standout Experience with Vicki! I have stayed in many hotels over the years, encountering a wide range of service experiences, but I can confidently say that Vicki at the Merlin Innkeepers is in the top tier of hospitality professionals. From the moment we arrived, she was polite, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Her accommodating nature and willingness to go above and beyond made our stay truly enjoyable. What stood out the most was how effortlessly she balanced professionalism with warmth, making us feel valued and well taken care of. No request was too much trouble, and her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our stay was smooth and comfortable. Because of Vicki, I will wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Merlin Innkeepers. Excellent service makes all the difference, and she exemplifies what true hospitality should be. Thank you, Vicki, for making our visit so memorable—we will certainly be back!”

“Went there for the first time last night. Amazing pizza and service. The staff was very welcoming. Best wishes!”

“Nice little restaurant with reasonable prices. Very tasty curry, and wonderful hot naan bread. glad to have found this place, will go again soon”

“My late father would buy mithai from the original branch next to Euston train station in London in the 1970s and bring it all the way home to Glasgow. When my brother was born in 1978, he had laddoo sent to Glasgow as well, such is the quality of their products. Ambala has a long tradition in this country and as far as me and my family are concerned, serves the best mithai by a country mile. It isn't too sweet and rich like competitors and the quality is consistent across all their branches. Manchester is our hometown now and this branch is our go-to for all things mithai related. Nowhere else comes close!!”

“Nice atmosphere and good music. There’s quite a few shisha places on wimslow road but this is definitely the best one. Spent 16£ on the shisha and a drink. Shisha was smooth and flavour lasted a few hours. Would go again :)”

“Second visit to Jajoo with my wife. Very comfy late Sunday lunch after a long week of work. Amazing food. Great chat with our waiter and the "big boss"... Best Indian Street food restaurant thi side of the Mersey. We recommand the Tuk Tuk, the lamb, the prawn and the chicken Main... Technically everything we tried so far is excellent...”
