Reviews in Manchester

Have been a customer at the Owls at Standish, for years,and on Friday 19th June 2009 visited with my 85 year old father and my wife.During the meal the waiter slipped and "threw" a full bowl of custard over the table,my shirt,tie and suit trousers,and i do mean a "full-bowl" !!He was apologetic,the incident was witnessed by various other customers and a table occupied by friends of my wife.No member of management came to the table to apologise,despite the lady who appeared to be in charge passing several times.As we paid the bill,we gave details of the incident,no offer of compensation was made/reduction in the bill.The reception/cashier summoned the lady who had walked past us several times, who in a very curt manner told us it "would come out",her complete lack of customer skills and arrogance was breathtaking,this had ruined the rest of our evening as we had to return home and change.No offer of a refund was made---so beware at the Owls of Standish,you pay for what the waiter spills over you,make sure its not an expensive dish!!

Having been to a great many Indian restaurants, we have yet to find one in the same league as the standard. The service is fantastic and the food is second to none (well worth the trip from anywhere in the north west). I particularly recommend the 'sheezan murghi' which is fairly hot but with awesome flavour (a must try if you like madras). my fiancee has the 'Balti pashwari murgh' which is a must for anybody who enjoys korma. If you haven't already tried this restaurant, TRY IT!! and I bet you'll be back! There's a few pubs and bars nearby too for afterwards

Rainbow 88 cannot be beaten - absolutely the best Chinese Restaurant in the country as far as we are concerned. We have celebrated every special occasion there and never miss the Chinese New Year and Karaoke nights. Linda truly is the hostess with the mostess. Highly recommended any lunchtime or night of the week.

What a beautiful setting for a great restaurant. Look out of the windows and greenery abounds. We went for lunch on my birthday. The service was second to none. The food was delicious- piping hot as I like it. The owner found time to chat to everyone. It was an enjoyable experience, which we hope to repeat this weekend with friends.

Found a pubic hair on my red curry (number 47). The manager to acused me of putting it it there. Was shocked and refused to eat anything else so the manager made us pay 30 pounds for 2 starters coke bitter lemon and prawn crackers...

food is dear but i love all-you-can-drink coffee!!

Fab chippy,chips are lovely and fresh fab service A++++++

i always come here for the lunch specials, cocktails are nice too. A great place for veggies!

My family has been eating Steph's wonderful food for the last 10 years. We have travelled all over the world and still believe that Steph's garlic bread and pizza are the best. The food is always excellent, the service is second to none and the price is incredibly reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend La Roma Restaurant.

best fish and chips i have ever had pleasant staff

The meal + service was excellent the portion size were very good my only grip was the price it was very very good i was expecting more but it was perfect the zouk blast drink was superb very refreshing recommended for every one!

The food here is amazing. I lived in Japan about five years ago and until eating at Tokyo Season have found Japanese restaurants in England to be a bit gimmicky and lacking in most of my favourite dishes. However, after stumbling in here accidentally on Saturday and having the nicest meal I've ever had in Manchester I have already arranged to come again.

IF u want quality food but do not want to cook get yourself off too Zouk their curries are always the best in term of taste they definitely r the best!

I love this place and the spicy chicken ramen noodle soup is the perfect hangover cure.

We went to Evuna on Saturday 13th June 09 for a double birthday celebration. The food was very very poor we were extremely unhappy with the majority of the dishes we had ordered. We usually go to El Rincon but could not get in, let’s just say next time we will stay at home and do a better job ourselves.

Had a great night at the Lowry. It's the perfect place to base yourself when in Manchester.

I must have visited a different place! The ping of the microwave said it all. Nothing special at all.

As a family we have been visiting Stefano & La Roma for over eight years and we never fail to have a good meal & a good time. Our children are always made very welcome and will always opt for here on a night/day out. The food is great and the staff warm and friendly - garlic bread to die for!!!! The new setting for the restaurant is beautiful with the river setting. I can't recommend Roma enough - if you're looking for an affordable Italian restaurant with great food and great atmosphere then La Roma is the one. Glad to recommend to anyone.
