Reviews in Manchester City Centre

The Naan Breads are huge, we were advised by the waiter to only have 1 between the 3 of us and we still did not finish it ! A good curry within walking distance of the city centre and similar prices to Rusholme.

For a pre concert or cinema visit in the Printworks or a lunch in town, you wouldn? go far wrong with the English Lounge. Now it? not the French at the Midland or Establishment and it? not the arty farty type grub its good olde pub grub at a very reasonable price and large portions too. Add very friendly staff and quick service and it? just the ticket if this tickles your fancy. Accepting that its just a pub, you will not be disappointed.

This is the best Italian restaurant in Manchester - the service and food are superb although it is not cheap its well worth the few pounds extra. I have recommended this restaurant to many people and none have been disappointed.

Great restaurant, they offer the traditional Chinese menus that we're all used to seeing. They also offer some Chinese dishes that you perhaps have never seen, I would recommend you try them, I tried an oyster & clam soup/broth dish, it was very tasty. The style of the restaurant is also very nice the lunch menu is very nice and at a good price, it's slightly more expensive than the norm, but the quality is very high.

Excellent Chinese, with no complaints. But is it me but i find them all much as a muchness. Although I agree with other comments that red chilli does serve some slightly different dishes. All in all nice little places with great friendly service, and you won? be disappointed.

Addictive food not laden with MSG, Chocolate or Fat. This stuff even tastes great and a real departure from the overly priced, underly flavoured food in most fast food restaurants. This food tastes great - A WINNER!

It was great to have some food in Try Thai. The hot and sour soup was really great and the quality of other foods and drink was mind blowing. I strongly recommend all of you to try Try Thai and I can assure you that you will go there for the second time.

what a delight to eat here. everything from the service to the food was spot on. i would defo go there again.

I have been to this restaurant for various occasions i.e. Christmas Party, Birthday Party, Girly Night, quiet meal for two and each time the food, service etc was brilliant and I couldn't find fault with anything. This Restaurant gets very busy and yet nothing ever suffers and you never feel rushed. I would definitely recommend it to anyone for any kind of occasion - I love it and if you like something a little different so will you!

Well worth every penny....quality all round

Bloody brilliant. My new local.

Chaophraya is firstly a fantastic looking building with typically Thai decor that brought memories of a visit to Thailand flooding back. The staff made my girlfriend and I very welcome and were super efficient from the start. We decided to share a mixed starter, although we could of chose 10 times over due to the array of dishes. For main course I had Sea bass and my girlfriend had a Thai green curry, both dishes were delicious. I would definitely recommend a visit to Chaophraya and I would probably have a set meal next time just so I could taste the varied meals. Overall an Outstanding dining experience consisting of great food, very good location and a high level of service which will not be beaten.

Very good food but every time I've been there I always come away feeling like I've paid too much, no matter how good the food was, it's still just food.

We normally always eat out at Velvet with our friends as the food/service is consistently good, but we decided to have a change and meet at Taurus. I should point out that out of the four of us, it was only really me who had a bad experience, but both of my courses were a real disappointment considering the cost. The service was absolutely excellent, smiley and attentive and very welcoming, which was a real shame considering the standard of the food. I ordered soup for starters and bangers and mash for my main course. When the soup arrived, I had no problem with the size of the portion, as it was served with what looked like a full baguette of bread and plenty of butter, which is always a high point. Unfortunately, the soup itself was full of what looked like stringy bits of unappealing cabbage and was freezing cold. I have to say that my friends' starters looked far more appealing and they all praised them highly, so I hoped my main would be better. I was very shocked when it arrived and I discovered my potato was of the packet variety and was like plastic in terms of taste and consistency. The gravy was equally tasteless and the sausage was nothing to write home about. In terms of presentation, I can only describe it as a congealed heap. It was also topped with what looked like parsnip shavings and was a far cry from my husband's succulent looking steak. I'm not usually picky about my food and will usually eat anything if hungry enough, but this is the first meal I have had anywhere where I found it completely inedible. Thankfully, my friends' fillet steaks looked fabulous and I'm told they were. The wine we had was reasonably priced and enjoyable and the atmosphere was nice for drinks, but I will not be eating here again.

Having visited Akbars in Leeds we were not quite sure whether to go here or not, Leeds being very busy, noisy, full and a long wait for food. Anyway we took the plunge and were really glad we did. The setting is fabulous and so is the decor, although by the time the back wall had changed from white lighting to deep red we could hardly see, especially as the menus are on black background. However we finally managed to pick what we wanted off the very interesting menu and took in the atmosphere. We had gone around 6pm on a Sunday night and the place was getting very busy. We had a fabulous meal with very attentive staff at all times. Only disappointment was that there was only bottled beer for sale and no draught but it didn't spoil what was a lovely meal. Cost is very reasonable as well. Hoping to go back within the next couple of weeks.

I went out with a group of friends Friday night then we saw the Villaggio restaurant we was greeted at the door by the manager and then sat down to eat. when the food came out the presentation was outstanding we was all amazed with the food/they also have a good selection of wines too. we had 1 bottle of Chianti then my friend tried a cocktail it was perfect. the staff was good specially the manager his name was flavio he made everything a perfect evening. i venture into Manchester a lot so i will definitely will be going back to the villaggio for a meal again. whoever the owners are keep it up /and to ALL the staff /if anyone reads this message you must try the 3 course set menu its excellent? caio tu che dici

We went as a group of 4 on a Saturday night. The restaurant is close to Albert Square and is in a good location for pedestrians but if you're trying to find a parking space nearby on a weekend you'll need to get there early. Our friends booked a table 8 weeks prior and were asked for a deposit to secure the booking. The food was good but the choices were about the same as any other Chinese restaurant in Manchester. The prices are considerably more than in China Town. A bottle of beer cost £4 . The restaurant is clean and the service is good. I would go back to this restaurant.

I've eaten here twice now, 1st time as a takeaway, i had the chicken chilli udon which is 20% off for takeaway, portions were large and tasty, not the hottest dish i've had but pretty good, plenty of veg and beansprouts as well as chicken and noodles. my 2nd experience was eating in on sunday lunchtime, i had the 2 courses for £4.95 and my green salad was quite tasty and not too filling , but the main course was excellent, i cant remember what it was called but it was a kind of vietnamese pho noodle broth, with large chunks of braised beef with hardly any fat/gristle, the noodles were excellent with very fresh bak choi and i slurped my way through the bowl and was left warm and nourished, i am looking forward to having lunch there very soon.
