Reviews in Manchester

I arrived with my friend rather sheepishly as it was nearly 2 pm and they appeared to be finishing for the afternoon. When we appeared in the doorway we were welcomed in and the music was turned back on and service was resumed. Not only were we made to feel very welcome but a complete fuss was made of the children, nothing was a problem. Food was honest and good value and due to the wonderful service we received on what appeared to have been a quiet and miserable Tuesday I will most definitely return even though it is 50 miles away!

I have been a regular at the Met for 5 years or more and can honestly say that it has never been better. The food is the best of its type in South Manchester and the beer although more expensive than some always comes in a clean glass and with a smile. The atmosphere is buzzing no matter what night and the Met is always a great environment to enjoy an evening with friends.

El Rincon is an excellent place to eat, it has a very Spanish feel and great atmosphere!! I love it!!

Some of the most interesting and continually changing food available in south Manchester, let alone Chorlton using seasonal produce well. The prices are very fair and don? miss the Sunday roasts and breakfasts, fish, steaks and specials are all worth a go, as is the organic beer

For £10 it was an absolute bargain, will definitely go again, but drinks are expensive. Don't make the mistake of placing various curries on to one plate, it spoils the meal; try them one at a time.

Excellent food, interesting and vibrant surroundings and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Well worth a visit.

Rusholme - over-rated! Hazel Grove's 'Balti Massala': quite simply the best curries in Mancester. The chicken passanda cooked in red wine sauce is highly recommended.

A large variety of foods to choose from, a busy bar with drinks from various countries, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, live music, a family atmosphere and an excellent venue for parties.

A very good restaurant and excellent cuisine. Service and price was very good too, the best vegetarian restaurant for miles in the North West

The food was wonderful. It is always nice to see the chef/proprietor in the dining room greeting and meeting guests.

I hope that my experience at Taurus is not going to become the norm. I dined with a number of friends at Al Fresco on a Sunday night and the service was slow and the food portions terrible. Two of my friends ordered a dim sum platter at £12.50, when it eventually arrived after 48 minutes, it consisted of around 8 dim sum items, half a plate of prawn crackers, Olives (Chinese olives no doubt) and a lot of salad. My Cajun chicken was anything but, and was a humble 5 slices of chicken breast in a decent sized ciabatta (all for £5). Fortunately the Taurus Burger with Bacon at £8 was of a better standing. When we commented to the waiter about the portion sizes, he agreed that they were not altogether reasonable and reduced the meal by half price. I've eaten a couple of times here before on lunchtime on various days. I've usually found it much better but I think this is a change in policy by the management. I don't think it's somewhere I could recommend because of the lack of consistency. A great shame.

Booking is advised otherwise one can have a long wait. Service was great and so was the food, Can get a bit crowded though but that feeling fades away very fast. Convenient location and a must for Thai food fans out there!

the food is excellent and staff are all very friendly and will ALWAYS strive for the customers satisfaction.

cheap as chips billy bunter would be full up!

This is an excellent restaurant and definately worth a visit. It is an initmate place which adds further to the atmosphere. The range of food is very good and the taste even better. If you want a really good meal in warm surroundings, this is it.

I'm sure the whole experience of going for a pizza would be alot better if the staff knew what they were doing and not trying to run their lives whilst attempting to serve.

The food is always fresh and hot, the staff are pleased to advise on dishes. the set meal for one is outstanding value and defies anyone to finish it! Booking is essential on Friday and Saturday , the only complaint is if very busy you can feel as if yoou are being rushed. Good selection of wine and the usual Indian and british lager

Went for Sunday lunch, Set menu £14.95 with 5 choices of starter,main and dessert. Food was excellent but service was on the poor side, this could have been due to good weather tables had been placed outside and was busier than usual. Well worth a try.
