Reviews in Manchester

I sent this email recently, I feel it speaks for itself - Dear Sir or Madam, I recently attended a hen night that had been booked in your restaurant and was very disappointed by the service we received. Firstly the booking was split across 2 tables and we were told this was policy but we had not been told this on booking. When we queried this we were told we could be on the same table when the people at the next table left. We were also told there was no point as the people put on the table would be as far away as if they were on the separate table. We insisted and we were put together. The orders were taken and the starters were then brought and some were incorrect. The waiter then tried to bully members of the group into eating the wrong order by saying “you ordered this” and “you will eat this”. Some people did cave in to the bullying. Some members of the group wanted to pay for their wine separately and had to ask 4 times for the bill to be brought. This was obviously such a problem because if the wine was not on the bill the service charge would be lower. The mains were brought and they were correct but the sides were not or were brought after the food had been half eaten. The service was so poor that we did not even stay for desserts or coffees. To then put a service charge of 10% (£36.20) on the bill is disgusting. Obviously, the renowned restaurant we had understood we were booking is only if you are famous, or in a party of less than 4. I had been hoping that the experience would have been enjoyable as I will be booking a hen night for next year and this restaurant was mentioned in the planning. I certainly shall not be doing now as the hen was disappointed and upset and still upset the next morning. Kind regards, Lucy McDonald.

Absolutely dreadful!!!!!!! Don't bother.

Several years ago, while doing work with Photronics at the GEC Plessey plant, I stayed at the Whitegate Inn and, as an American from Texas who found driving on the "wrong" (well....it was for me, at least!) side of the road awkward, I walked to work rather than renting a car. This resulted in my being stuck at the Inn many evenings, and I found myself tiring quickly of pub sandwiches. As such, I walked to find restaurants, thus stumbling on Dilshad Tandoori. I had never before cared much for Indian Restaurants, and timidly entered the first time. The attentive staff steered me towards chicken tikka masala - now one of my favorite meals....anywhere! Over the several months I stayed in Oldham, I regularly visited this WONDERFUL restaurant, trying several of the delectable selections from the menu. I have now eaten northern Indian food in several countries throughout the world and here in Houston, where I live. NONE have even come close to the great service and wonderful food at Dilshad Tandoori. To the fine folks at Dilshad Tandoori - if you happen upon this review, a great big "HOWDY" from Rob, the Texan who used to be able to walk into your restaurant and ask for "the usual" ......and you knew exactly what I wanted. How I wish you weren't on the other side of the pond! GREAT FOOD - GREAT PEOPLE - you cannot go wrong by going to Dilshad Tandoori!

NAM PLOY - went to Nam Ploy on the 17th March 2009 after work and the meal was absolutely fantastic. I am going to go again for my birthday.

We visited the Fishermans Retreat last week for a celebratory family meal and had a wonderful evening. Fabulous tasty food and really good service from all the staff. Can heartily recommend the steak, red wine and mushroom pie - delicious and this is one of the only places I know where you don't get pale frozen chips. These are real (pity about the calories)!

The food was great. I had a great time there. Like most people have already mentioned, the sashimi was very fresh. I think the sushi here are one of the best in Manchester so far. Appetisers such as the chawanmushi and the chicken karaage were delicious. The bento box was awesome, especially the japanese potato salad in it.

i have eaten here lots of times and it is fantastic value for money and really tasty!!!

What a lovely addition to Hyde. Authentic Cuban Tapas at reasonable prices. Fabulous meat, fish and vegetarian options... Try the Quorn meatballs for a vegetarian change - just as good as their meat counterpart! All fresh and served with a smile! We're regulars!

Delicious food, excellent service and great value for money. Have visited twice since changed to La Lupa. If you enjoyed Enzo's you will love La Lupa.

Excellent food at all times. The dim sums are on special half price offer Mon-fri before 5.00 clock.Try the mixed roast meats on a bed of rice! Brilliant. Or try the roast duck with chopped prawns in mushroom sauce-unusual but amazing! Beers can rack up the bill so try the Chinese tea after a glass of wine perhaps. The staff are very helpful & pleasant & will explain dishes if you ask them.We go every week as we love the dim sums for late lunch!

Panama Hatties, Manchester - 30th Birthday Celebration. Fantastic service. Couldn't do enough for us but not in an intrusive sort of way. The owner / manager was relaxed and efficient which made us feel at ease. There were 17 in our party and all the food was tasty, well cooked and served at the same time. Thanks for a fabulous night!

This is a vegetarian restaurant owned by a non vegetarian for non vegetarians. The menu is very boring and any self respecting vegetarian could cook up a meal twice as good for quarter of the price. It's saving grace is that the staff are absolutely lovely and the service is excellent.

The atmosphere and background music was relatively loud, which could be interpreted as "lively". The waiters were all very friendly and helped to create a positive atmosphere. While the food tasted very good, I thought it very much lacked in quantity, especially when considering the relatively high price. My main course came in a tiny portion of one small slice of nut loaf, and a small cup full of mashed potato - that was it!

brilliant food go there every week.. i would recommend it to everyone!!!!!!! 10/10

I first went to Ning for the first time on 19th February and were very impressed with both the food and service, excellent on both counts. One of my friends who came along has since contacted me requesting another visit - it obviously made an impression on her!

I dined in grill on the alley for my birthday last week and had an amazing time! the service was friendly but unintrusive, and the food was delicious! the experience surpassed my expectation and I will definitely be returning!
