Reviews in Manchester

The best Indian food in MCR, I can't recommend it highly enough. Chef Khim Lal Gaire is a complete star! Everything from poppadoms to pudding is wonderful and the staff are so welcoming it makes the whole experience perfect. A special thank you to Karwan and Jam. 10/10

I had a great Sunday lunch here yesterday, I believe it was the first week they had been open with Robert Owen Brown cooking. It is always a pleasure to eat ROBs food and I wasn't let down. I enjoyed pot roast wood pigeon with black pudding and elderberry along with a great bottle of zinfandel. I was pleased to see that this pub has received the refurbishment it deserved and I am looking forward to returning time and time again. Thanks Rob

Visited Coriander for the first time last night, it was really busy and although its small you don't feel like you are sitting in the laps of others. The food was fantastic, the staff are really attentive without being overbearing, after enquiring about my own tastes the waiter recommended Grandmothers vegetables and what a fantastic recommendation it was! As a vegetarian dining out with a meat eater, the choice was fantastic. Eaten the left overs for lunch today! Don't be put off by the decor just enjoy the delicious food, great service and nice cold beer.

The restaurant has a calm feel to it. The furniture is simple and cafe-like. There is wide selection of sweet and savoury snacks. The menu contains starters, very good vegetarian Indian and Chinese dishes, desserts and non-alcoholic drinks. The food tastes just right and is quite palatable and digestible. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Car parking is not a problem.

Had singapore noodles, which were ok, prefer wagamamas, although I really liked the decor and busy atmosphere.

I just had lunch at Jem & I on Saturday during the lunch express and was looking forward to eating their since it was recommended by many friends for the food. I was very disappointed by the quality of the food. My partner and I have been out to many meals at different restaurants and haven't experienced food that we weren't happy with. We ordered the gnocchi and the rissotto. We did not even finish the food we ordered. The gnocchi was something that we could have easily gone to Aldis to buy the ingredients and make. The rissotto was very salty and had a small portion size. When are plates were taken away we were never asked at any point how are meal was. We will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Hey there, I've been ordering from Sorento Pizzeria (In Ashton Village) for a while now. I have to say, it is an incredible takeaway! The service is friendly, the delivery time is almost always spot on and the food is the best fast food I've ever experienced. I would go as far to say that it is of restaurant quality, but delivered to your door. 10/10 for me!

Tampopo food is lovely. Fresh, healthy, tasty and so cheap! Much better than Wagamamas

I've been eating at Tampopo in Albert Sq since my return to Manchester in 2004 and can honestly say that I have always left more than satisfied. The tempura vegetables are amazing and the the mixed platter superb. I can also recommend the strips of rare beef on the most delicious aromatic tomato and spring onion salad. Have yet to try the soups but they do look amazing.

We really enjoyed our breakfast 32 years ago today. It was the morning after the day we got married. Mary and Eddie Atherton (Canada)

It's not the 1st time i'm writing review on this restaurant. I think i am slightly obsessed with it:) since it opened i had a meal there at least once a week i just can't get enough of this place... Everything about it is perfect - food was fabulous every time, staff so welcoming and attentive, service so professional, very friendly owners and good atmosphere. What else could you wish for?! I recommend this place to everyone!

OMG!!! The most delicious curry I've had in a long time. This place is fab, the decor, the service I couldn't fault anything! And all reasonably priced too. Will definitely be back, I want to work my way through the menu!! Yummy, yummy, yummy!

It's over 12 months since we ate here. Thoroughly enjoyed it last 3 occasions. Oh dear! visited 20/10/09 standards have dropped considerably. Food was just ok NOT amazing as previously also little touches like a dead plant on the window sill in ladies loo don't make a good impression. Always have recommended that friends & family visit Jem & I but won't be in too much of a rush to send people there now. Very average sadly

17/10/9. This restaurant is well recommended. We eat there with friends on a Saturday evening, nothing was too much trouble & the food was really excellent - no it wasn't - it was better than that. This place deserves support. Not sure about the jokes though. Will definitely be going back.

My 2nd review of La Roma in 6 months because it's so good. We just can't stop going back to La Roma, lovely surroundings, friendly staff and superb food and drink. Bring on our next visit.

Visited Zouk early on a Saturday evening with my partner and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food. We had the 'toss the coin' voucher and luckily both called it right so we only paid for our drinks and sides, naan bread etc (although the voucher did state that ALL the food was free!) We would have been happy to pay the full price as the food could not be faulted. Our only gripe was that there didn't seem to be much organisation and within 10 minutes of being shown to our seats we asked at least 5 times by different waiters if we ready to order. Definitely worth a try.

I arrived at your restaurant yesterday along with my family for a birthday lunch, a party of 10 to be exact. Your website stated that you served lunch until 3 o'clock. Due to our train being late, we arrived at 2.40, later than we had anticipated and were promptly told that we could only have pizzas. We had printed off the vouchers for your special offer of 2 persons dining for £25 including a bottle of wine but were refused this offer. We pointed out that your website offered dining until 3 o'clock but this made no difference. We thought that you could have at least admitted your mistake on this one occasion and accommodated us but no, you promptly just showed us the door. We shall definitely not be visiting your restaurant again and shall make sure all our friend give it a wide birth too. I feel that the staff just couldn't be bothered.

I visited Zouk last weekend with a large group of friends. It was very busy night but the food quality and the service we received were outstanding, there were no long waits at all. Very courteous staff+excellent food=winning combination. We will be going there again this weekend. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves a good Indian curry!
