Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Being a traditional, old school pub in the heart of Manchester's business quarter the Town Hall Tavern's menu reflects this and is comfortably conservative. Lancashire Hotpot rubs shoulders with Steak and Ale Pie and Cumberland Sausage. The emphasis is on home cooking, the pastry on our steak pie being crisp and thin, the accompanying chips fat and moreish. What let's it down is the little touches at pretension - vegetables served in ramekins, dusting a of cayenne pepper around the rims of plates etc. Oh yes, the word "jus" should NEVER appear on the menu of a British pub unless the owners have delusions of their establishment becoming a gastropub.Prices are very competitive, portion sizes are comfortable and service is casual yet efficient.

First time here – both at the Bridgewater Hall and its restaurant – and must say I was very impressed. Some really interesting dishes on the menu like turbot and pheasant which you don’t see too often, very reasonable prices and friendly and efficient service. I wonder if you can dine here even if you aren’t going to a concert?

Have enjoyed an excellent lunch on a couple of occasions recently. Have recommended your restaurant to my friends.

Took my wife last night , was very pleased with the steak I had but the sauce I ordered mushroom was gravy with 2 tiny pieces of mushroom. My wife ordered pepper sauce which was gravy again which does not compliment a good steak. I am a chef and I know what pepper sauce should be like and what a mushroom sauce should be like.

Shocking and embarrassing!! Had lunch there - what a palaver!! Our party were given two different menus and subsequently ordered different things from each menu, as you might expect. Only to be told, after we had ordered, that the people who ordered from one menu had to sit in a different area to the people who had ordered from the other menu. Needless to say I wont be going back and won't be recommending to friends, colleagues or clients!

Went to Chaophraya Manchester for my 40t birthday with 15 friends. What an amazing night. Food was excellent, look forward to going again, service very good and everyone was very friendly. In fact I would defo recommend to anyone. Thankyou

I booked a table for 14 family members for my daughters 18th birthday on Friay and was really excited to be going to Jamie's. Well, unfortunately what a disappointment. It ook over an hour to receive the starters, with one promptly dropped on to the head of my 18 month old neice by one of the waiting staff. Then when a new starter was brought it had hair all over it.The food was all over spiced and herbed and with some over cooked, the steaks were fatty and a few of the dishes were so full of chillies that they were inedible. We didn't even bother with the desserts as the starters and mains had been so poor. For £400 and for Jamie Olivers reputation, I expected a lot more. I would not recommed this restaurant to anyone.

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 .
