Unique dining experiences in Manchester

“Just dined in at Heavensteak tonight and got the Saturday deal. Quirky little intimate Dive Bar, Excellent Service, Great Music and the Food was bang on! The chicken wings were very tasty, Fries cooked to perfection and the Onion Rings a welcoming compliment to the meal. 5 Stars from me!”

“We came in for lunch and it was amazing as usual. It was my daughter’s first visit and she loved it. Mike and the team looked after us brilliantly. Highly recommended.”

“Absolutely amazing food and service. The food was incredible, so fresh. Big portions and the service was outstanding. So friendly. Will definitely be back! Thanks for a lovely meal”

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“We visited last weekend with family and friends for a birthday meal and from the moment we walked through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed – and that was entirely thanks to our waitress Nicole( I believe that was her name). She greeted us with the kind of warm, natural smile that instantly makes you feel like you’ve chosen the right place for dinner. Nicole’s service was impeccable from start to finish. She struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering, somehow anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Water glasses never dipped below half, orders were double-checked for accuracy. What impressed me most was Nicole’s genuine enthusiasm for the menu. She offered thoughtful recommendations based on our tastes and described each dish with detail – and she was spot-on every time. It’s clear she knows and loves the food here, and that passion is contagious. Beyond the technical side of service, Nicole made the evening memorable with her personable nature. She engaged with us in a way that felt friendly and sincere, not scripted. By the end of the night, we felt less like customers and more like welcomed guests. If you visit, you’re in for a treat no matter what you order – but if you’re lucky enough to have Nicole as your server, you’re guaranteed a truly exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for her by name.”

“I came in with my granddaughter last week, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Upon walking into the establishment, it felt as if we were transported to New York. As a proud American, I must say I felt right at home! My granddaughter, on the other hand—who is very hard to impress—took her time, but by the time the food arrived, her demeanor had changed. We ordered the Benny's Burger, the schnitzel wrap, and the sweet potato chips. I have to mention that my granddaughter did not make the life of the young lady at the till easy. With the number of notes my granddaughter gave for her schnitzel wrap, I was sure she would be laughed at by our server. Instead, we were met with kind responses, smiles, and absolutely no issues. The food came out very quickly, and all three items we ordered were presented exquisitely! Every note was followed perfectly. The service was probably the best I have experienced in this otherwise abysmal country. I come to England at least twice a year from New York to visit my children and grandkids. I try to give each one time alone with me so I can give each the attention they deserve. My son had mentioned that there was a splendid restaurant I had to try; he has ordered Uber delivery from you a few times. I truly recommend the dine-in experience! I will definitely be returning the next time I come to visit the kids. (I do apologize, as I had intended to share the photographs that were taken. But sadly, only my granddaughter took photos—she has the better phone and therefore the better camera—and she seems to be taking her time sending them to me.)”

“Owners and staff are excellent, very friendly and eager to help. Burger was tasty and juicy, very enjoyable. Over all, a great experience. Can't wait to try the pizza.”

“Absolutely amazing food at very reasonable prices. Went with my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed our food. Great selection of wine. Excellent service. Have recommended to all my friends and family.”

“We loved Pots & Pans pizzas when they first opened in lockdown and was sorry to see it close, so when we saw that it had reopened we couldn’t wait to try it but was a bit worried that it might not be the same as we remembered. Well we needn’t have worried as it was every bit as good as we remembered. We will most definitely be back.”

“The most perfect coffee, never had a negative experience here. Oat cappuccinos always so tasty:) Often quite loud just because popular with parents+ young children but always a welcoming, cosy atmosphere! One of my go-to cafes!”

“The first time eating there, loved it, crispy chicken skins were so good. Both soups my wife and i got was excellent and both tea's were good. Would highly recommend to anyone to go and try it. Definitely going back”

“The best day out ever, the farm is beautiful and full of so much character and amazing animals to see, I absolutely loved it and feeding the animals and holding the lambs was an amazing highlight! The staff are all so kind too, thank you for an incredible day !! We will definitely be back! 10/10 so fabulous and beautiful escape with amazing scenery too.”

“Fantastic food, great selection of pizzas, each great. We'll be back!!!”

“My favourite pizza restaurant in Manchester and probably the UK! The Service is always wonderfully friendly and quick, the quality of the pizzas are second to none and the garlic bread is a great added extra. Tried the tiramisu and affogato this time and both were also great! If you haven’t tried Rudy’s yet and looking for a great place for dinner in Manchester, check it out, you won’t be disappointed and can even take in a range of great surrounding bars for drinks before and afterwards!”

“I recently held my 60th birthday celebrations at Llieno's. The room is a perfect size for a party up to 60 guests, the staff couldn't have been more helpful, in fact they went above and beyond in ensuring everything went to plan including decorating the room and ensuring a variety of different drinks were on offer to suit my guests. We also used the buffet provided by Llieno's which was good. I would not hesitate in 100% recommending this venue for a hassle free, wonderful event.”

“Me and my friend love Chinese takeaway and we decided to try that place and honest to god it was so good. We had a create your own noodle box and honestly didn’t disappoint. My friend was so shocked and now every time I see her we always go there to eat. The service is amazing! You can watch them make the food and the drinks there are very cheap. Whenever I eat there I always walk out looking very happy. Best noodle & sushi place ever! If you’re a sushi or ramen/ noodle lover I would definitely recommend going there. The photo of my ramen should be there. PLEASE GO!!”

“Best sushi, poke bowls and sashimi. Place is small but very clean, friendly staff, tasty sushi. I will definitely visit again.”

“Great service and high quality food. The hotpot was excellent and the open kitchen shows they are confident in their cleanliness and skills. Everything prepared fresh and unbelievable value. They also cater well to people with dietary restrictions with allergens clearly marked Cash only but there’s an ATM opposite at the coop”

“Very good food, highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Everything was perfect”

“Really tasty, incredibly well valued. It is a little back room kitchen place but you cannot beat the value for money. Service is great… have and will come back again”

“We ordered take away and it was amazing. Best Turkish Food around Manchester. I'm from Turkey and i was looking for a good Turkish restaurant for 2 years and finally someone knows what they are doing.”

“Popped in for food and it was AMAZING!! I think new owners have taken it over about a year ago? I'm not too sure, but the menu is fabulous and everything that got brought out of the kitchen looked amazing. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.”

“Really good fish and chips couldn't fault the food and the service was good had to wait for the fish to be freshly cooked and it was a decent size and perfectly cooked with a well tasty batter will go again soon”

“Fabulous Indian restaurant. Speedy and friendly service, good value for money and absolutely delicious food! Wide range of food options for gluten-free as well as veggie. Our favourite Indian restaurant!”

“Somewhere that we order from regularly. Never had a bad meal and always delivered on time. Their Nepalese is one of the best I've tasted. Highly recommended.”

“Yesterday I dined in at Rice n Spice the food was delicious *chefs kiss*, and the food was beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and welcoming, making our dining experience truly memorable. The staff recommend items off the menu we should try as they are a hit! We will definitely be back!”

“Just been here this evening for the first time to celebrate my daughter’s 21st-family of 10. From the minute we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. The staff are so smiley and friendly, the place has a great atmosphere, and the food and presentation was faultless. Nicest place we’ve visited for a long time, thank you!”

“Just been. Nom nom nom very tasty! We had a single meat handi which was a tender lamb curry, a mixed salad, a cheese and chilli naan, and the tandoori mixed grill. All very good, there wasn't anything left on our plates. We're very full now. The Indian soundtrack was a bit erratic, it kept skipping and stopping, but the ambience was nice and plush, the food was tasty, and reasonably priced, and the bill came out really reasonable for 2 people who have eaten as much as they physically can- £38. It was so reasonable because we didn't buy drinks- they don't have an alcohol licence yet, so they let you BYOB! So we brought a few lagers, and they provided glasses. A very good evening. They do takeaway also, and cater events, and have a banqueting hall upstairs. It's a very big building the former Greaves Arms.”

“Excellent fish and chips. Fresh fish and cooked well. Not greasy at all. Will be back!”

“Fantastic authentic Indian food. Such a hidden gem that more people should be aware about. It is a husband and wife who run this place and you can tell they put their heart and soul in to each dish and the service they give is attentive and really friendly. Definitely recommend as a change to your normal curry house!”
