Reviews in Manchester

I booked this restaurant after reading the good reviews. I didn't see a kids menu but there was quite a good menu on the website. We turned up and were hurriedly sat down to a harrassed waiter and told kids can have most things on the menu. We then ordered drinks and i ordered the house white wine not knowing it was £11 per glass!!! My fault. My sister ordered pink gin but clearly didn't receive it but when asked if it was pink she got the waiter grumbled yeah. We asked another waitress if they actually had pink gin. She said yes and re ordered it again. This time it was. We ordered spaghetti bol for my 6 year old daughter thinking it would be a safe option.... it turned up and was very spicy, too spicy for a child. And since when is spaghetti bol spicy? On the whole the whole experienced was not enjoyable. The waiter was not friendly at all and seemed annoyed that we were there!!! The drinks were way too expensive and for kids is a no. Oh and the garlic bread didn't taste of garlic, more like buttered bread!

Absolutely fantastic service and even better food. The best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend this place and perfect location if you’re visiting the theatre.

Overall would recommend

Pleasant evening. Food was good and the service was friendly and efficient. Not massively big portions however it was tasty.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal recently and would recommend the restaurant. The food and service were excellent .

Excellent meal, can’t complement the chef enough, service was perfect such nice friendly staff, would definitely go back.

Took our 8 year old granddaughter for a Jubilee lunch which we all enjoyed. We had the Sea Bass from the specials board which was a good portion & very tasty. The Staff were friendly & attentive. Quirky setting with unusual things on the walls.

Food was quite nice. However we were charged £11.95 for a tikka massala sauce. Not meat, no veg. Just tell sauce. We ordered poppadoms that never arrived but we’re still on the bill (removed no problem as soon as I asked) a class of coke was £3.85! The price absolutely put me off going again. Service was very slow, minimal conversation.

Went to the Rio on the evening of the 2nd June. Been before and always enjoyed the visit. However, on this occasion, shortly after we had been served drinks and first course, the fire alarm went off in the restaurant. No guidance was given as the staff were trying to trace the source of the alarm. We carried on eating without any chance of conversation due to the piercing noise of the alarm within the restaurant. Several customers walked out. We were given our main course with the alarm still sounding We finished the meal and were given the bill. No compensation was offered and we paid the bill in full. Clearly this was a very disappointing visit to the Rio and we feel that we should have been offered some form of compensation.

Late lunch for 2. Pasta very good. Staff friendly and attentive. Enjoyed.

Always delicious food and consistently so. Staff always polite and attentive with great service. many thanks

Fantastic family birthday meal last night. Good selection of cocktails/mocktails to choose from. There was 7 of us and we all had something different and all throughly enjoyed our meals. All the staff are super friendly but a big thank you to our waitress who was very attentive, nothing was too much trouble and gave us plenty of time to look through the menu etc. Nice little touch (as embarrassing as it was) for them to play happy birthday along with a fountain in the dessert! Would recommend and would definitely return!

Absolutely amazing place! It’s not just amazing authentic cooked food (by the talented and experienced chefs) that makes a restaurant so worthy. We must not ever forget the staff! The waiters were exceptional at Dhoom Dham! So much so that my children commented that this place has the happiest waiters they had ever experienced! The decor, atmosphere and menu are delectable. We were treated with time, and it’s all a memorable experience that leaves you wondering when next you’ll be going back. Dhoom Dham, we will definitely be back soon! You have an amazing team, and it’s evident in your passion of food and service! Well done!
