Reviews in Manchester

As a first timer to Manchester was overwhelmed by the lovely surroundings in this restaurant. the staff were friendly and efficient and extremely knowledgeable about the "menu with a twist"! having dined out a couple of times during my stay I thought the food was of a very high standard and good value here and will definitely be recommending Room to friends and colleagues when in the area

My sister and i treated ourselves to a couple of delicious (and incredibly large) cocktails. She went for the strawberry daiquiri and i opted for the coconut cabana, complete with a slice of fresh pineapple. delicious! we had the huge sizzling chicken fajita's with a side of guacamole and desserts of a baileys 'torte' (which in my opinion was quite definitely more of a mousse) and a good old hot chocolate fudgecake. The cake was piped to the post by wetherspoons (where do they make those? heaven?) but pretty darn hot, chocolately and fudgey all the same. oh, and the waiter's are almost as hot as the sizzling platters.

Very nice manager, somewhat faded inside, but the food is not bad at all. I particularly like their efforts with venison (I think the venison Vindaloo is a 10/10) and the menu is eclectic, old fashioned but different in a way. Poppadoms dull and pickles uninspired, and we love the minced lamb dish in the vegetarian section on the menu! At least it? a bit different in here. Give it a shot

What a fab place to go for a quick business lunch or a special treat. The staff were excellent and the place was clean, contemporary and the food was fresh, hot and filling. Also great for kids, with high chairs, free t-shirts and colouring mats and crayons, what more could you ask for when you have trudged round the shops all morning. The site is probably the coolest in Manchester. TOP!!

Best curry I have had and I am pretty hard to please! Service was also great - they even turned up the lights so that I could read the menu as they could see me struggling. Although I am not vegetarian there were a lot of options on the menu and the paneer kebab was beautiful. I will definitely go back in the near future.

I had Paddy one of the then owners show me how to create one of his then signature meals of roast duck with the raspberry & vinegar reduction sauce. Fantastic chef & always great food.. On another occasion Paddy showed me monkfish rapped in bacon with lemon & butter sauce.. Another fantastic meal

Excellent fresh ingredients, good portion sizes and reasonable charges. Good wines - especially Torres. A little taste of Spain - pity they couldn't give us an outside terrace in the sun!

At last a first class seafood restaurant in Leeds! The food was excellent, you could tell it was really fresh. The location in City Square couldn't be better - dead central opposite The Queens hotel. The staff are all really friendly and efficient, nothing is too mush hassle for them. Highly recommend... Went with 10 friends to celebrate my 30th. They had no problem accommodating us at relatively short notice. Fantastic ambience, Menu choice was extensive and the food was superb. Service was a little slow, but it didn? seem to matter as we were all having such a good time anyway! Definitely going to be back for more

A few of us went to Try Thai after work one evening and we had a fantastic night! The food was beautiful, the staff are excellent, but don? hover around you whilst eating; just the right balance, and the ambience of the place was absolutely lovely! An all round excellent place to eat, whether in a group, or just for two. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family!

The staff were nice & friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing and the food was very good indeed. Overall a very pleasant experience and I would not hesitate to go back there again!

The restaurant is hip and stylish and the food is to die for. This definitely beats anywhere in Rusholme and is in a great central location. Service is ace and servers are really friendly. The naans are HUGE too. Big thumbs up from me!

Since moving to Manchester has become my favourite place to eat. Wonderful food. Would especially recommend the lamb rump with pesto- best served rare and great with their exceptional Borolo. 2 can have a 3 course meal from £20 per head (upwards!!). Only criticism is that as no background music is played - large office parties can make conversation impossible during the after work rush period.

I have eaten in thousands of restaurants all over the World and NOTHING compares with the whole experience of Akbars. I was dining with 3 people who are never satisfied with British asian food, but Akbars amazed them. The portions were large, the taste and suggestions were perfect, service was quick, the restaurant was modern, clean and amazing service. Although open plan - they have booths around the edges of the main dining room - which gives a lovely ambience (which comfortably seated 6) with larger tables catered for within the room. The food bill was inexpensive for the amount of food we ordered (and had the remainder to go!) - working out around £20/head inclusive of wine/drinks/coffee, starters and main courses (lots!) I will be back frequently!

A wide ranging menu and good fresh food. Fairly new place and not in the best location, so tends to be very quiet - it deserves to be buzzing!

What a fantastic place. As a vegetarian i worried there wouldn't be alot of choice. There was. I had the best meal there ever last night and i would go back again and again. Great, 10 out of 10

After reading the reviews I had to try. A bit out of the way, opposite Southern cemetery. But the food is outstanding. I went with my husband and 4 children. Sunday the 13/08/06 early evening we were the only ones in, but the door and phone never stopped there must of been 20 take outs while we were there. That speaks for itself on a Sunday. Anyway had the banquets for 2 and 4 children? meals and wine £51.00 yes £51.00 beautiful friendly people. Excellent value and the food was just as it says on the web no greasy curries, all fresh produce go give it a try you will not be disappointed beats all other curry houses in the area. And loads of veggie curries and side orders. Will be back next week.

Brilliant! Best venue in town for a group night out. Amazing food - it gets tastier every time! The "show" is gob smacking and the staff excellent. I can't recommend this place enough.

Second time here and again virtually outstanding. The best steaks we have had. It was a Saturday night so great atmosphere. Wine suggested by waitress was wonderful. Guava cheesecake excellent. Only downside was chips tasted as they had been refried.
