Reviews in Manchester

My friends and I went to Yakisoba a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic meal. Really good food and fantastic service all at really good prices.

Five members of Cheshire Curry Club visited Akbars last Thursday. We had heard so many good reports that we had to try it for ourselves! We were not disappointed! We got in at 7.30pm and only had to wait 15 minutes for a table which was not a problem because there is a large well furnished section where you can have a relaxing drink before having your meal. Our party of five ordered poppadums, mixed starters for five and our main courses were the seafood special, Chicken Makhani, Lamb Bhuna, Kahrai Chicken and Lamb Ghost. We also ordered a nan bread which was bigger than a tennis racquet! The food was prepared to a very high standard and the waiter who dealt with our order was friendly and knowledgeable. Also with ample staff you don't have to wait long between courses.The total bill which included two rounds of drinks as well as Brandy and coffee came to £102. A veritable feast for just over £20 a head. The restaurant is also furnished to a very high standard and all in all we gave it 9 out of 10 which is very high for our membership. In fact it is the highest we have ever rated any of the restaurants we have visited.To give you some idea we rated the Masala Lounge in Sale 8/10, the Gatley Tandoori 8/10 and the Original Third Eye in Didsbury 8/10. Some restaurants have rated less than 5 so to rate Akbars so highly gives you an idea of how impressed we were! Thank you Akbar for a lovely evening!

Excellent food. Friendly and efficient service. Always a pleasure to visit!!

Disappointing to say the least. Difficult to find cheese free options. One main course was to spicy, even for this chilli lover, with no aromatic notes to save it. My starter was tasteless, main course uninspired. Even the cream served with one pudding was on the turn. Not good. And to make matters worse on our tables was a flyer for the Xmas menu. Advertised as available on the date we visited at the time we visited was identical to the menu we were handed but significantly cheaper. Seriously unimpressed.

Had a gorgeous meal at Pacifica Cantonese last night, good service, lovely decor. Everything was great. Only problem extremely noisy couldn't here ourselves speak.

We have been for a meal tonight with our 2 children ages 11 and 7, we had an awful Christmas so decided to have a treat, me and my husband go a lot especially at lunch time and I have to say it did not disappoint, the food was fantastic. The mushrooms are wonderful, the pork Diane was delicious and my children loved it. The atmosphere is relaxed and lisa the owner is great, welcoming and has a very infectious laugh. The only down side is that we have all come out absolutely stuffed! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food. Just wish it was bigger but then would it loose its charm? Great Night!

I would recommend the Happy Seasons in china town any day, Me and my boyfriend about 3 times a month, the crispy pork and char sui are the best we've ever tasted, the price is excellent and we've paid no more than £20 which includes drinks!

Had a wonderful meal at Azzurro on New Years Eve, menu was amazing, great atmosphere and service as always. I could honestly say that I must have had the best dish in my life. It was slow cooked Rabbit "agro dolce" served with fresh tagliatelle. This is now definitely my favourite restaurant in Manchester.

The decor, ambience, atmosphere and Menu lean slightly more to general Mediterranean than pure Greek which I hadn’t quite expected but that was fine. I found it reassuringly (and surprisingly) unpretentious, decent no nonsense service, good tasty food, generous portions and good value. Ole

I have eaten here many times the food is always excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. There is a good selection on the menu and it is not expensive. Very good choice

Excellent takeaway. Everything is fresh. Best Chicken roast and kulfi that I have ever eaten!

I have been going to the cafe Lahore since it first opened and it is first class. I am a veggie and the dishes they serve are lovely. A.J always recommends different dishes for me to try and he has never been wrong. I love the atmosphere of the place - good to chill out and chat with friends - take your own booze and no loud banging music that can often spoil a good meal. Wazim is a very nice chap and always makes us feel very welcome - try it - i know you will like it !

An absolutely superb dining experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and there is a wonderful homely atmosphere. The food is sublime and caters for every taste. This little gem is well worth the visit.

I went here on Saturday as a group of 4 girls. It was one of the best meals I have ever had and the service was excellent. The waiters couldn't do enough for you and to be honest I was expecting the bill to be more than what it was which was a nice pleasant surprise. Between the 4 of us not one of us had a bad word to say, we all picked something different from the menu and it was all perfect.

WOW! This place is seriously cool. Went just before Christmas and I was very impressed. The food is fantastic. The staff are friendly and the service superb. I'm going back again at the end of Jan. This is THE place to go in 2008. Make the effort to get there and you won't regret it. It's only a few minutes drive out of the city centre.

Definitely the best Indian restaurant around!!! Everywhere else just seems rubbish after this. Tuesday nights are £6 all you can eat buffet - highly recommended!! Not bad prices either!

I went here last night for my sisters birthday, and the whole night was spot on. The service was polite and everybody enjoyed their meal. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone!

Everytime i am shopping in manchester, i stop in Cafe Metro for a bite to eat. It has become a little tradition for me and my friends. The service is excellent, the food is lovely and its great value for money.
