Reviews in Manchester City Centre

i think this bollywood masala restaurant should be more well known, as have got to say I am very surprised with this restaurant. All the staffs were really welcoming, nice and really helpful. A lot of Indian restaurants are full of arrogant and uncaring waiting and managing staff, but Bollywood masala were soooo great. It was just a nice place to be. The food was really nice specially Mo Mo (Dumpling) ! It actually tasted like real freshly Finally a place that actually knows how to make a nice pilau rice lol. Starters were quite impressive as well and quite generous servings in both mains and starters. The flavours were really good and it's got to be one of the most authentic and best indian places I've been to. And for me the best indian in Manchester city centre.

Visited Bollywood Masala on Saturday evening and had the most amazing indian meal I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The staff, atmosphere and food were all fantastic.

Could you please send me a xmas menu asap. Thanks

Had the tastiest meal ever on sat 8th sept really good atmosphere and buzz staff where very helpful would Definitely go back but live in Ireland so won't be any time soon but really enjoyed it thanks jackie.

6 of us at here on a Saturday night a couple of weeks ago - we hadn't booked and it was extremely busy, but the staff were so helpful and found us a table within 10 minutes. 4 of us ordered the meaty meze and fishy meze - there was certainly plreanty of food and that's with two blokes with big appetites eating with us! 2 of our friends ate something different but commented on how good it was. Would highly recommend to give it a try if you've never been before. I'll certainly be going back.

We have dined here last night, for a Birthday Celebration of my girl friend. The food arrived fairly quickly and was pretty good, although some of us found things a little spicier than usual and struggled somewhat. I was very surprised to be offered a tikka masala that was mild, medium or hot! Would say I have had better curries, but very nice non the less. The menu prices were a little more than average but final bill appeared pretty reasonable, although am so not used to getting charged for the pickle tray. Finally The food was really tasty and all eight of us enjoyed it. I will definitely go back again.

ok food but not the best in manchester! we should have stuck with our trusted favourite chaophraya! food of a much higher standard - there is a sayin "you get what u pay for!" chaoprhaya all the way!

Brilliant Place and Staff. Food was exceptional, great tasting and well made. waiter's were patient and polite. worth a visit.

Fabulous cafe,hot carvery sandwiches,also sell ciabatta bread and lemon cheesecake and WONDERFUL tiramisu to take away.Excellent value for money.

Have to concur with the other reviews -- had an outstanding meal here last Friday to celebrate my birthday. Atmospheric in a very laid back way, attentive and firiendly staff, beautiful French food and a good French wine list. Although our mains (fillet of beef and the signature 63 degrees chicken) were very good, the starters were outstanding - I had snails off the specials board (imported from Burgundy, apparently) any my wife an intense asparagus risotto which she hasn;t stopped raving about. Complemented by a lush 2007 Vacqueyras. If you are visiting Manchester, highly recommended..

Amazing food , the best pasta I have tasted in Manchester , service is fantastic and staff very friendly .

I went to Zouk on a recent trip to manchester and would like to say i had a lovely experience. The staff were very friendly and pleasing. Food was to die for not had such good quality and fresh food like that. I would recommend it to anyone reading for a truly wonderful experience in a wonderful restaurant i would visit Zouk.

PLEASE READ THIS THEN AVOIDMy partner and I became very ill with food poisoning after ordering from here, after a day of constant diarrhoea and vomiting I contacted the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I was then put on to someone who I've now found out not to be the manager but actually one of the chefs. She was incredibly rude and sarcastic (even laughing) and after a lot of awkward silences told me that that "she didn't have anything to say" and when I told her I would be contacting the local environmental office she told me to "go do that". My partner then called back and asked to be put in touch with the owner of these four restaurants; we've now had a call back from him today in which I got told how he's run the business for 17 years and how both he and his pregnant wife eat from there and how large their customer base is...totally irrelevant in this situation. After making my point again about how rudely we were spoken to and how ordering from there had meant that we both had a totally ruined next day as well as wasting £25, I was told that the absolute most he could do is offer us a 50 discount off our next order as a "goodwill gesture"- A TOTAL INSULT. Any 'goodwill' is clearly insincere. This is much more fitting for a late delivery or missing items than being made very ill. As if we would ever again eat from somewhere we got so ill off and give money to such a business.

Lovely food and atmosphere

might be a great place but when we walked in after a show we were told sorry the kitchen was closed. it was just 10:30 what a shame will I go again? no not really

Bollywood masala is a new concept which combines the heady cultural colours and extravagance of the bollywood film industry with the aromas and flavorous of the cuisines of the indian subcontinent with a fusion of western tastes. With this Restaurant we have modernized indian cuisine taking it to its next level yet still keeping its authentic flavorous approached in a contemporary fusion manner with different accents from around the world added to dishes making this visit a unique experience.

Firstly, let me say I'm Asian and I've grown up eating authentic, North Punjabi food. All too often, restaurants disappoint me with unauthentic food with far too much oil and food colouring - nothing like the food I grew up eating. I've been to Zouk around ten times now and each experience has been wonderful. The food has always been great - fresh, superbly spiced and seasoned and nicely presented. Meat dishes are so tender and the vegetable dishes are imaginative and a welcome break from the usual options in other establishments. The Nan and rotis are the best I've had. And the pilau rice is what it should be - cooked with cloves, cinnamon and spices rather that the coloured boiled rice you find in so many restaurants. The staff have always been polite and helpful. This place is far better than a couple of London based Michelin star Indian restaurants I've eaten in, and costs far less! Can't wait to go back soon. Highly, recommended.

I thought the old 110 restaurant food couldn't be improved. I was wrong. the food was superb, hot & full of flavour. Service cheerful & helpful. Well done Ellie. A great night out.
