A really well thought out menu of good, simple well done food. The roast pork is excellent and I too thoroughly reccoment the chocolate desert. Really generous portions of god quality food.

I first went to Lams Cottage for my 21st birthday. I have never seen such service. Quick, yet I could tell they had taken the time to prepare my meal properly, and the Hot Ors D'Euvre are devine. If you like Chinese Food, then Lams Cottage is for you with food to die for and service that is second to none!

I visited on 29/11/03 at 8.30pm. We were given a very dark corner. The music was so loud that conversation was impossible. Good starters but when has spare ribs, tuna in mayo and plain chicken legs been Greek. We were also over charged for drinks. Very dissapointed. Next time Dimitris

This restaurant is in Ashton-u-Lyne and should not be confused with the Indian Ocean Restaurant in Oldham (different ownership). Although the Indian Ocean has been open for over 10 years and we have been regular visitors from the opening day in August 1993, a major (£250.000) refurbishment has just been completed during the latter part of 2003. This is now an Indian Restaurant like no other! The food at the Indian Ocean was always excellent but now it can be enjoyed in the most luxurious surroundings. The General Manager, Mr Nahim Aslam, has wisely decided to devote about 90% of the dining area to non-smoking. Smokers can use the lounge area (a totally separate room). Although I would have preferred a total non-smoking policy in the dining area, I think most smokers would be happy to refrain from smoking in such a palatial ambience.

Nicely decorated, cosy atmosphere. Didn't feel rushed to finish our meal. The food was tasty with a good selection to choose from. Somewhere to go for a special occassion as it was a little pricey.

Great menu - excellent range of dishes, great food, great service and good ambience - we'll definately be back!

Arrived one lunchtime and had the largest portions didn't eat dinner till 9.30 !!!

even though there are stair's to this restaurant my nana is 70 and struggles getting up stairs but when we come here she is up there first as she knows how good the food is.this is the best restaurant in china town

High quality restaurant food in a pub setting. One of my favourite places to eat in the area. Dining room is small though and booking essential, as its very popular. The table d'hote menu is exceptional value for money with a good choice, and the specials are exciting and change regularly

The set menu early in the week is excellent value for money. However, meals on Friday/Saturday can soon become more expensive. The quality of the food and surroundings is very good no matter when you eat there. There are some interesting wines on the list, and usually a blackboard special well worth trying.

I often eat at Nandos before going to the cinema. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a table, and find that the food is always delivered promptly. Their jugs of cocktails are gorgeous!

Great Night - not many in. FOOD GOOD. they let us BYO the wine and with only £2.00 corkage per person. would go again. Great biscuits with the coffee- made on the premises.

Faboulous place. Saw add in the Guardian and City Life. They also have another Restaurant in Bramhall. They are in Cheadle Village as well. Very good atmosphere. BYO policy.

Fantastic restaurant, Great chef especialy young benjamino who doesnt work there enough these days. Great staff and a alrpound great experience,Entertainment on wednesdays is great for groups of young men.

me and my husband have visited the restaurant twice now and the service and food is excellent. the staff are very friendly and polite, nothing is to much trouble for them. we will definetly be going again and recommend it to anyone.

I have had indian food all over England - this is the best I have ever had Fat Tony

Great concept for a restaurant. One you must try!

If you're a hardcore noodle professional like me - this is the place. While the subtle and amazingly fresh flavours of each dish compliment each other perfectly, the fiery added chilli (optional -for the die-hard spice fans) gives it a conclusive kick up the *** giving the whole meal a satisfying and extrememly delicious taste....I don't believe the flavours created at tampopo can be beaten at any other pan-asian restaurant that I know of, and I 've had some experience! I could go on and on, but if you're looking for very quick, fresh cuisine at a quirky, people-watching location, get yourself down to Albert Square.
