Vintage café atmosphere in Manchester

“Wow! We ordered from the special Valentine's Day set menu and it did not disappoint! Such tasty dishes! Food was ready at the correct pick up time and was piping hot. Excellent portion sizes and high quality produce used (even better knowing it's locally sourced) Can't wait to visit again when lockdown is over and enjoy the quirky dining area on the bus. See you soon Bohemian Bus Cafe!”

“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!).”

“brilliant that in a central location 30 seconds from some big museums, hospitals, parks etc you can have a substantial meal and a drink, sat down for less than £7. Always quick, friendly staff, never an issue getting a table. Leave the greggs next door alone, and come get a snack here.”

“Had the full English breakfast as did hubbie - quality ingredients, non greasy, cooked to perfection. Daughter had steak baguette and sil salmon with scrambled eggs. All of the food was delicious, served hot and well presented. Service good and considering the quality / portion sizes good value.”

“Small hidden gem, cosy atmosphere. Staff attentive and quick service. We both had burgers, The Smoker & The Texan Show Stopper.....wow. The flavours of both were great, the portion sizes were spot on. Will be back, would reccomend to others.”

“Staff here are very professional very welcoming very chatty make your feel very comfortable , the sausage bacon egg sandwich in the mornring has to be a good 9/10 , I’ll definitely be coming back here for a full English and I’ll be telling people how good the place is”

“Well what can I say Amazing coffee loving staff right next to Oxford rd train station pop out have coffee would call back here again go head try it and let us know”

“Recommended by a friend. Had a Biscoff Latte and Nutella Latte (oat milk) and a Pistachio, cream scone. Blimey! This was EPIC. Considering we are from Devon and frequent many cafes and tried loads of scones with Devon Cream this was the best EVER! Highly recommend. Good value too!”

“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!”

“I came here today with my dog & it was like stepping back in time to my grandmas kitchen on a Saturday morning in the nicest way . The staff was so welcoming and warm especially with me having the dog . The atmosphere was just so wholesome it really felt like I was just in my grans kitchen . The decor is very very clean & the food was absolutely the best breakfast I’ve had . But hers sausage and bacon perfect orange yoky eggs with load of yoke , thick cut toast . Everything about it was beautiful so it looks like il be driving 40 mins for a breakfast every week . I also went alone with the dog which I’ve never ate alone before and not once did I felt uncomfortable.”

“This is a generally busy Nero coffee shop located near Manchester Royal Hospital and Manchester University. It is very close to the Whitworth Gallery. I like the coffee in Nero coffee shops. It is generally consistent. The staff in this particular branch are always friendly and helpful with good service. They keep the place tidy. My only criticism is that like many Nero Coffee shops the furniture is looking somewhat tired and in need of a refresh.”

“As a group of mtb cyclist we visit this cafe quite frequently. Over the years we have never had a problem with the service always spot on. And the food is always excellent”

“Went to the Bistro this morning for a breakfest and was told they don't exchange food items on a large breakfest, when I explained my partner has autism they couldn't do enough to accommodate her. Absolutely FANTASTIC service and its such a shame its closing down. Thank you to all the staff.”

“My breakfast barms and hashbrowns are always yummy!!!”
