Reviews in Manchester

Last week was my first visit to Isinglass and it will not be the last. I had the corn beef hash as the starter (awesome) followed by grilled organic chicken in honey and mustard glaze with chunky chips. This is the first time I have been able to taste chicken and not some watery white meat at a restaurant, the food and taste is just excellent. Simple local food cooked well, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The decor of the restaurant is relaxed, the tunes are cool chill out and will not offend people over 50 (like my mum and dad) We arrived at 7pm on a cold Friday evening, when we left at 9pm, the place was full of people of all ages but linked by a common theme. This is a place for people who like real local food and food with real taste. I cannot recommend this highly enough!

What a great place! Really warm, ambient atmosphere in the bar, and the restaurant was intimate and relaxed. Dim lights made it really romantic for my date and I, but there was plenty going on to still make it buzzy. The food was pleasantly surprising, as I am a Veggie and there was a really good selection for me. My date is a big carnivore! And he was more than happy with his meal too. We would definitely go back, and they now also do food in the bar (so the nice bloke who saw us out told us!)

After leaving the UK some 18 years ago to live in Southern Spain, never returning home during this time, I really missed good old fashioned Indian food. On arrival at Manchester I was recommended by family to try the Sangam - a recommendation worth every mouthful - I returned to Spain with my taste buds revived....Thank you Sangam 2.

Great atmosphere and surroundings. Ideal as a stop off late afternoon or as a place to dine in the evening. Food was very good. Only criticism was the ' Italian ' bread with the antipasto.Seemed more like a couple of slices from a sliced loaf. Otherwise , a great visit.

Always a good meal here. Lucky to go quite regularly and whilst it's out of town and away from the pubs it's a good stop off between Oldham and Saddleworth serving the most authentic Indian food away from the curry mile in Manchester. The staff are really friendly too and as dishy as the food!!

I have to recommend the full breakfast in here, it is delicious! For me it is the quality of the sausage which completes this traditional English dish, and this place really got it spot on. Saints and Scholars is a great place to go on a Sunday, relaxing ambience combined with a very deep European, reassuring vibe. Music was good, the staff very professional as well as beautiful. It's a true reflection of what Didsbury stands for, and is the perfect place to have a relaxing afternoon.

A good venue for a varied group of people, as they serve everything from burgers to squid! The specials always seem to be very "special". My only gripe is the lack of decent non smoking area.

After having a bad experience with another Italian restaurant in the city centre, we were very impressed by Bella Italia, with an excellent menu, lovely food and very good service. We will definitely be visiting again!

Good food and a great atmosphere. The service is always excellent and the staff are very friendly, especially the owner.

I was taken here for my birthday two years ago for the first time. I had a 7 course meal, lots of lovely entrees served with excellent wines that were recommended to us by experienced waiters. A lovely setting to sit before and after dinner, the only disappointment was that it was so quiet in the restaurant, only 3 couples on a Saturday night.

Excellent food and service at a modest price. Nice atmosphere too. Worth a visit if you have not been there before

Been coming here for about 15 years and always been excellent. Best in Rusholme

A nice cosy small restaurant. We waited a long time for our food to be served but was worth the wait. Excellent food and service

I have dined at this restaurant a number of times and have always been amazed at the whole experiance. From the service to the quality of food everything is consistently of an excellent standard. Highly recommended!

I didn't realise that the Living Room had a restaurant upstairs, well it has and it's very nice!

food is great, nice relaxed feel to the place

Great food but I felt it was slightly pricey

The restaurant is of a modern design, staff very polite. The menu was varied and the food very good. I was impressed with the quality and presentation of the food. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone.
