“Hina was very lovely and kind to us. Offering the best of service :) so sweet would recommend !”

“Great Macclesfield food. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Good range of options for those with different dietary requirements. The mint sauce for the beautifully cooked lamb was my favourite part - wish I could've taken a whole vat of the sauce home with me. Thanks.”

“The food was amazing. It was my first time trying Injera and I'd love to go again. Lots of vegetarian options too.”

“We travelled from Newcastle and stopped at this place for some lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the weather was sunny. The staff were all nice and happy and extremely accommodating. The food was EXCELLENT. The BEST sushi I had and bang bang kara-age. I would highly recommend this place to everyone!”

“Fantastic find, beautiful restaurant and some of the best Chinese food we have ever had. The service was faultless, the hostess was superb”

“I came with my girlfriend and this place is awesome. Was a lovely place and the food was amazing, really recommended. Keep it up!! My favorite one was mixed kebab with hummus! Best combination ever!”

“The food is absolutely amazing. We ordered hummus, mixed grill and chicken wings, the meat was very tender and juicy. Highly recommend!”

“This was a fantastic experience I ordered both the Chicken Pad Krapow and chicken Panang curry along with Jasmine Rice and Chips excellent service Amazing food best I have had in years from a thai place and I have eaten a lot of different thai food. The owner is very helpful too. I will be returning 100%”

“First time visiting and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The service was excellent ,friendly, attentive, and efficient and the atmosphere was welcoming and well-set. The food was exceptional, with clear attention to quality and flavour. The burgers in particular were outstanding and easily among the best I’ve had in Manchester. An excellent overall experience and a place I would highly recommend.”

“Visited this place a few weeks ago with friends and had to come back quickly with my father (who went to university in Sri Lanka) because the food was so good! Service was warm and friendly and everything we ate was authentic, delicious and great value for money. Will come back again very soon, thank you!”

“All the food is very delicious and tasty. We like kubaidah and Naan and qabli Palau. The meat is very tender juicy and delicious. The atmosphere is cool here. It's not a big restaurant so it's always full or even fully booked. You need to book it in advance to secure the table here.”

“Best Thai restaurant in Manchester!!! If you like authentic taste of Thai food, do not miss this restaurant Recommended dishes: Pla Chu Chee, Prawn Padthai, Weeping Tiger steak, Moo yang (grilled pork) (They don't serve alcohol here. So BYOB)”

“Everything was fantastic!! We had a private family function and everything went smoothly, the food was delicious the atmosphere was amazing and the vibes unmatched. Hajer and the team were amazing and very accommodating, made the process stress free and everything ran smoothly from decor to food timings and music. Family and friends had nothing but praise. I cannot recommend enough, will definetly be having future functions here.”

“Been here 4 times and thoroughly enjoyed every visit. This is a really well- run restaurant and nicely appointed, creating a really pleasant environment to catch up over the well presented and really tasty food and well- chosen wine list. The steak, carbonara and lamb are all just delightful. Not the cheapest, but thoroughly worth it. I'll be returning regularly.”

“Great authentic food, one of the few who taste like a slice of their country. Super friendly staff, one of my favourite local restaurants.”

“Booked a table for 7 of us at 7pm. As soon as we arrived we were warmly welcomed and shown straight to our table. The service was amazing. Offered drinks and starters straight away. We didn't have to wait long for our food. The starters and mains were fresh, hot and tasted amazing! Everything was perfect. The atmosphere is very cosy and welcoming. Probably a strange thing to mention, but as someone who has had spinal surgery and struggles with comfort, the seats here were sooo comfortable! Staff are friendly and pleasant. Most importantly though, the food here is delicious and I cant wait to come back!!!”

“We always choose to eat at Rosa before the theatre as the food always comes out so quickly and is fresh tasting and delicious! The service from the team is always so friendly and professional. Loved hearing about all the new menu items today from Vincent! He always goes above and beyond to ensure all guests have a lovely evening!”

“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!”

“Great spot for always having at least one gluten free beer on tap, usually a couple. I'm a big fan of when they've got locals like Brightside. Generally a good atmosphere whenever I come. Sometimes a lot busier than others, probably event related as it's very close to a number of live venues. That said, I can often find a seat in the second, quieter room pictured below. I would appreciate GF food options, but I understand this is exceptionally difficult considering they do pizzas. The music is almost never particularly loud, which means you can always converse. The only setback would be that some of the beers can be pricey, but this is absolutely to be expected given they are quality craft beers rather than mass products, and I say this is one of the few spots where it's worth it”

“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!!”

“Very, very good venue. The quayside theatre is very small and intimate, but holds a good crowd. We were there to see the "Ideal" stage show (which was absolutely brilliant) and it was a great trip. Two minor issues were that it was unclear when the doors would open, leaving quite a few people like us standing outside in rain and wind, which was not Ideal (see what I did there) Also the toilet roll dispensers are utterly dreadful, where you have to try and pull it out of a very tight opening and it invariably tears close to the holder. You know the ones I'm talking about... The rosé wine is delightful...”

“Service was amazing From Daisy & eunice, Georga who all served at our table and all made our visit more enjoyable and fun.. we will be back. Love the food, compliaments to the shefs and a great selection of some amazing drinks.”

“A relaxed yet elevated dining experience, the team here are definitely focused on delivering not only a fine dining tasting platter but also engaging the customer in the journey of the food and wine. It was such a relaxed experience even though you are literally in the kitchen and watching how they prepare and deliver your food. The food may seem small but the flavour certainly packs a punch and if you really want yo elevate your experience then get the wine pairing and enjoy the delicate and robust flavours that it brings to the dining.”

“A vibrant community of local artists working with pewter, clay, wood, metal, textiles, and more. Their studios are spread across two floors in a lovely bright historical building. There's a cafe on the ground floor, too! Whether you're looking for a gift, a new piece of jewellery, a plant pot, or simply a greeting card, you can find it here - and support local artists and crafts people!”

“It was my first teppanyaki experience and I absolutely loved it. The food and service was great. The chefs were really entertaining and it was fascinating to see the food being prepared. I will definitely go back.”

“Harrison was a lovely server, very welcoming and accommodating. We had the evening set menu and it was a great value for money! I had the empanada to start then the rump and the trés leche for dessert and it was all delicious! really recommend the dessert! will definitely be coming back! thanks team x”

“Fantastic food, fresh, tasty, staff very friendly. Lots of new menu items. Open Thursday to Sunday, Katsu and Teriyaki are first class. The Prawn Tempura is to die for. Highly rated and recommended.”

“Very nice food Friendly staff Will come back definitely”

“Thank you for the incredible food and excellent service at Shaam. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn’t help but notice the same care and attention given to the dishes on other tables as well, all accompanied by a wonderful aroma. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make my birthday special by bringing out a slice of cake with a candle, creating a lovely atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to offer a variety of music, and we did notice a few bothersome flies from time to time.”
