Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Disappointing! We came to Try Thai first about 2.5 years ago and loved it. Since end of 2009 they extended the restaurant significantly with a whole new business approach. Even though it looks quite fancy now in the new bit it has completely lost it's charm and character and the quality of food has deteriorated significantly too. The simple and friendly restaurant is now a Chaophraya style restaurant with loud pop music and just average quality food and service. We are on the quest of finding a new favorite Thai restaurant now.

This was our 6th time in Zouk and we loved it once again! It was the 1st time we tried vegetarian selection and it was absolutely delicious....Delicate flavours of Dall Handi and just the right amount of spices in Mili Juli Sabzi were out of this world and their nans...What can I say about that...? Amazing...Best nan bread in Manchester.. In all 6 times i've been there we always tried different food and every single time it appears to be exceptionally good. They've got wide range of not only usual Indian food but a fantastic selection of seafood and steaks and very odd - French desserts, however it works brilliantly together! Staff is always very friendly and polite and will go extra mile for you to feel satisfied and enjoy your dining experience. So i can recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good Indian food and looking for great time out!

The worst service I have ever had. Waited to get seated for 5 minutes while waitresses walked past us and ignored us. Then we got seated, lots of other people Got served 20 mins later we still hadn't got served so we left. Will never go back to tampopo.

Really enjoyed the food and surroundings, the soup was delicious and just what I needed!

This is the best Japanese food I have eaten outside of Japan! The food was so fresh, prepared to order and there was a very welcoming atmosphere. Also, this is the only Japanese place I've been to that does the crab salad nigiri, which was soooo good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone. Go!

Get place - prefer the Bury shop to Manchester for the atmosphere but food Evey bit as good. Excellent food and very reasonably priced. Please think about opening one in Bolton - it would go down a storm.

Awful service - terribly sulky waiter who didn't want us there even though it wasn't busy. Shame as food was nice - although cold as waiter couldn't be bothered bringing it to us. Manager not must use either as ignored our complaints. Never going there again. Avoid this restaurant - isn't worth the bother.

I love chaophraya! the atmosphere, the people and the food is amazing!! So many flavours, the taste buds explode!! I love the authenticity too, the Thai cushions in the bar are a great touch

Review of Akbar's restaurant, Manchester. I visited at the end of December 2009. Although the service was good, and the starters were fairly decent, the main meal was a complete let down. I ordered chicken dish. They used a mixed bag of chicken meat. The menu clearly described the dish as being made from chicken breast meat. That was clearly not the case. They had used other parts of the chicken e.g. leg etc. Also the Naan was a bit stale. Overall, just a bit too much on the greasy side.

Excellent food as always. The tandoori haddock was absolutely fabulous in the way it turned this bland English fish into something so deliciously tasty. Highly recommended!

very good food , good choice of menu portion size was perfect, great ambience with modern decor. We all loved the mangers sense of humour too!

An amazing place. Great home cooked food, great staff, lovely environment. Went here for lunch with friends and had a great time. The food was spot on and the service was excellent. The Crepes and homemade Tiramisu are a must!!!

We were in San Carlo's last Wednesday and noticed the atmosphere was abnormally busy for that time of the week, we were informed by one of the waiters that it was due to the fact that JLS were dining just a couple of tables away from us! When we exited the restaurant we got caught up in a paparazzi flash storm trying to capture the footballers coming out of the restaurant, it was just like being in New York! The busy atmosphere did not, however, tar the service or quality of the food which was exquisite as always. We had a very glamorous night out and the whole experience further emphasised what a credit the restaurant is to Manchester.

called in last fri by chance and should have walk past have been eating in manchester for over 25 years and this has got to go down as one of the worst yet my wife left her starter and main it was that bad she had to buy something to eat on the way home never again duncan

Visited Rosso twice since it opened two weeks ago and have to say I'm impressed. Great venue, fantastic service and the food is amazing. Try the steak with truffle mash - it's out of this world! Good place to visit just for a drink too, the cocktail bar has a good atmosphere and wide selection of favourites, all with a modern twist. Would highly recommend checking it out.

what a great place to eat good quality nice staff and ver cheap at lunch ,

Once again Zouk came up trumps,we were well attended too on a very very busy Friday evening,we have even found a quite place to park.Everything about the place is spot on ,service,food,ambiance,price.They have set a high standard and we hope they retain the quality of service and food,well done.

Very disappointing, poor service, terrible food.
