I thought the £10 2-course menu was good value. For my starter I chose the Chicken Murtabak (pancake consisting of chicken, onion, potation, egg and herb), which I thought was yummy. My main meal was the Masak Merah (chicken in chilli tomato and onion sauce) accompanied by jasmine rice, which was also delicious. I hear that in March 2008 they have introduced 20% off for takeouts (call and collect). I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Went for a meal last night, all our food arrived after 5mins and it was clear that the tapas had just been warmed up in the microwave. This was the same at every table near us. We had to remind the waiter we had ordered wine. We had finished our meal after 40mins and the bill was placed on our table shortly after. The food wasn't good and neither was the service. We won't be going back!

the food is out of this world... best food in town

I had a bad experience here. There service was good and the wine list also good. However I found the menu to be far too large and indicative of rushed cooking and a lack of fresh, seasonal ingredients. I had a chili pasta dish that was so hot it drowned out any other taste (eg £19 bottle of wine). And i'm not shy with chilli. My girlfriend had duck that was fatty and served with glacier cherries (the menu said fresh). The starters weren't up to much either. Shame cause its pricey too.

My friend and had the great misfortune of visiting The Didsbury last night. Without a doubt it was the worst pub meal i have ever attempted to eat. I might not be a Jamie Oliver or Delia Smith but even i can tell the difference between "smash" and fresh potato, despite the managers insistance to the contrary. The meal remained un eaten mainly due to the meat being unchewable, the bubble and squeak looked liked mashed carrot and "smash" (no cabbage in sight)and everything was drowned in vinegar. A refund or apology?? absolutely not just a look of annoyance at our audacity to actually complain. A venue which most i will most definetly never visit again!

we took our son and three of his friends for tea all i can say it was excellent food was excellent and the staff were amazingly friendly.it was my son's birthday and they made a big fuss over him even though he was 13 would recommend it to any one who has young children even the clown with the balloons is superb with the children and he makes everyone feel like they are so special

We often order a take away meal from Cafe Lahore and its been brilliant every time. The quality of the meat is very good and lean(lamb is tender and melts in the mouth). I also like the fact that Cafe Lahore does not use (as much) artificial colouring. I would recommend Cafe Lahore to everyone.

stupots is the best breakfast in Manchester by far if you want a quick service and a friendly atmosphere stupots is the place :)

Absolutely Awful. Having heard good things about this place we decided to go for some dinner on the way into town for a night out. Really strange menu comprising student favourites alongside more sophisticated dishes costing considerably more that much better alternatives in the city centre. In the end we opted for Chilli Nachos x2. At £7 a throw we expected great things but what we actually got was a luke warm bowl of second rate chilli with a pile of cheap, overly salty, broken tortilla chips (probably from Netto or similar). They need to have a look at what you get in establshments such as Kro or Chiquitos for less money. While these things can happen it says something about the quality of the kitchen staff that something prepared with so little care and attention even made it out of the door. Its also worth mentioning that the table next door sent theirs back because it was cold. Service was also appalling! Avoid like the plague.

As a first timer, i loved the atmosphere, decor & building, beer and food.

Just a warning to everyone ,both EastZEast places were packed on Sat evening,so make sure you book.Especially between 8 and 9-30.We didn't and didnt get in . But they are worth the trouble.

A brilliant mother's day treat! Obviously very busy but the food and service were excellent. All the staff worked very hard to ensure satisfaction and nothing was too much trouble for our party of 13. Look forward to our next visit.

Overpriced, overrated, and isnt authentic serves halal meat, yet still sells alcohol?? And to top it all in a very dodgy area of manchester...thinK I will stick to chaporaya atleast its in the city centre, and traditional thai food is served and much much cheaper.

ate a set meal at the spice lounge late December 2007 spare of the moment while on a friday nite out everything about the food is average ship um in and ship um out mentality,its a curry for the late nite drinker whos tastebuds r not at there best, prices are reasonable.

Efes - lovely family friendly restaurant. Lovely food, service, prices! An early Saturday dinner for 4, including 2 birthday girls, still attracted the very reasonable Table D'Hote menu. 4 people with very differing tastes and age groups, including a diabetic, had a lovely "genteel" time! We will return.Less than 60 quid for lovely food and wine.

March 2008.Had not visited Bluu for well over 12 months and now feel this was a sad mistake to neglect an old favourite.We can honestly say we had the best meal since we can't remember, and we did compare with lots of restaurants both in the UK, on the Continent and South Africa. A new menu so lots more excuses to go back and try other dishes. The service was excellent, attentive but unobtrusive. The only (minor) let down was a half melted sorbet - but at that stage I would have forgiven them almost anything.

i absolutely enjoy the food and the place when i go for a meal with my family. I'll be visiting again very soon and hope it's just as good as last time.

I've been going to Davardi's since the late 70's when I went with my parents. Now in my 50's with grand-children of my own and still can't find ANYWHERE that comes close. The large American has always been my favourite, so much so that I rarely try anything else!
