Incredible food and fantastic service from the moment we walked through the door. Lovely way to celebrate our anniversary, we will definitely be back!

Thanks for a delicious meal. Amazing South Indian food and lovely atmosphere. Will recommend and will be back.

Awesome vibe which is so authentic as South African house music is played in the restaurant. The food is on point as well as the hospitality of the staff, it was so nostalgic being South African myself, I really appreciated a piece of home being available in the UK even down to the drinks there's lots of South African drinks available on the menu. Definitely a spot I'll be back at!

First time visiting and really enjoyed the food ,and the staff were excellent

Amazing food and absolutely lovely service as the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed our entire evening there.

We opted for the pre theatre set price menu as we were going onto the theatre we often eat out so it was wonderful to be surprised the set meal is true value for money and the food was very good the staff could not be more accommodating and the atmosphere was buzzing and the host jovial attitude was infectious we will be going again on our next visit to Manchester

Was in Manchester for a conference and booked a table for a Tuesday evening. Restaurant was busy but the service and food were first class. If I am ever in Manchester again I will definitely be back.

Fabulous service as always and cracking food.

We had a brilliant time at ChakaLaka - the food was amazing and the staff were really lovely. We’ll be back!

Such amazing food! Me and my partner came the other day and loved it. Best indian I've had in Manchester in recent years. And family run too!

The food was delicious and the portions were just right. The atmosphere was lively and inviting. The service from the host Nia was absolutely great, we had enough time to order and we were alerted to an offer that would save us money on our meal. The quality and quantity of food you get makes this place a good choice for food.

Our second visit to the Rising Moon for a Wedding Anniversary Lunch and were not disappointed with the Quality of the Food ( Pork Loin delicious) and excellent Table Service from Adele and staff . A lovely warm restaurant with country views which we would highly recommend as an ideal place for great food at reasonable prices and for any special occasions. Looking forward to returning in the very near future. Many thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience

Great food and a lovely host all at very reasonable prices. We'll be back for sure.

Went in for food last night was surprised as the menu had changed ordered starters and two curries we have never had before they were outstanding also tried the new bread that replaces the Nan bread Paratha it’s called it was so nice wish we had ordered two The service was excellent as always can’t wait to go back

It was my husband's birthday and it occurred to me that we'd never had South African food before, so I booked us into Chakalaka, a petit et bijou Boer cantina. The decor is bright and colourful and the staff were friendly and helpful. We chose a variety of small plates and sides. I had the chicken skewers with chips, pap, and mushrooms and spinach. My husband had the chicken bunny chow with Biltong to start. My own starter was a sort of cheese toastie with a kind of spicy bean slaw. Washed down with water and two happy hour cocktails, it was delicious. We finished with a shared Malva pudding and the Boer answer to Baileys. This absolute feast came to the sum of £59.50, which was a bargain considering the amount of food and the quality of it. We will certainly return and are already telling our friends about it.
