Reviews in Manchester City Centre

At last a first class seafood restaurant in Leeds! The food was excellent, you could tell it was really fresh. The location in City Square couldn't be better - dead central opposite The Queens hotel. The staff are all really friendly and efficient, nothing is too mush hassle for them. Highly recommend... Went with 10 friends to celebrate my 30th. They had no problem accommodating us at relatively short notice. Fantastic ambience, Menu choice was extensive and the food was superb. Service was a little slow, but it didn? seem to matter as we were all having such a good time anyway! Definitely going to be back for more

A few of us went to Try Thai after work one evening and we had a fantastic night! The food was beautiful, the staff are excellent, but don? hover around you whilst eating; just the right balance, and the ambience of the place was absolutely lovely! An all round excellent place to eat, whether in a group, or just for two. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family!

The restaurant is hip and stylish and the food is to die for. This definitely beats anywhere in Rusholme and is in a great central location. Service is ace and servers are really friendly. The naans are HUGE too. Big thumbs up from me!

Since moving to Manchester has become my favourite place to eat. Wonderful food. Would especially recommend the lamb rump with pesto- best served rare and great with their exceptional Borolo. 2 can have a 3 course meal from £20 per head (upwards!!). Only criticism is that as no background music is played - large office parties can make conversation impossible during the after work rush period.

I have eaten in thousands of restaurants all over the World and NOTHING compares with the whole experience of Akbars. I was dining with 3 people who are never satisfied with British asian food, but Akbars amazed them. The portions were large, the taste and suggestions were perfect, service was quick, the restaurant was modern, clean and amazing service. Although open plan - they have booths around the edges of the main dining room - which gives a lovely ambience (which comfortably seated 6) with larger tables catered for within the room. The food bill was inexpensive for the amount of food we ordered (and had the remainder to go!) - working out around £20/head inclusive of wine/drinks/coffee, starters and main courses (lots!) I will be back frequently!

Brilliant! Best venue in town for a group night out. Amazing food - it gets tastier every time! The "show" is gob smacking and the staff excellent. I can't recommend this place enough.

Second time here and again virtually outstanding. The best steaks we have had. It was a Saturday night so great atmosphere. Wine suggested by waitress was wonderful. Guava cheesecake excellent. Only downside was chips tasted as they had been refried.

This is a risky thing to say, but the food here was as good as any meal I had in Thailand last year. It's more expensive than other restaurants in the area but it's well worth spending a little more as it was so delicious. I can't wait to return and sample the Chinese menu!

Would definitely recommend a visit, food was fantastic (retro dishes with a slight twist - try the red mullet and chorizo fishcake), staff were very friendly and welcoming, we will be back soon..

Went to Panama Hattys on the 4th August, my wife, 5 year old daughter, and I. Great food, great service, great place. Staff are so friendly, the Jambalaya was excellent. Will go again soon.

Went last night- even on a rainy Tuesday night the place was full, a testimony to the quality of the restaurant. Despite the business of the place, service was efficient and warm. Every course was excellent, and if you're going to indulge in dessert you must have the warm chocolate pot. The best dining out experience I've had in a long time.

Had an amazing birthday party, staff were impeccable, food was amazing, especially the desserts.

Having discovered this restaurant through this site I was amazed how accurate the reviews were. I took my partner early on Saturday evening and the whole experience was magical from start to finish - comfortable seating, amazing decor, fantastic ambience attentive but not intrusive service and of course the food and wine were absolutely wonderful. I shall certainly be returning but apart from this review I think I'll keep the place secret.

The best restaurant in Manchester

Last Saturday I visited stock. I must say I was missing that level of service from a long time in Manchester. We arrived ten mins late and they had a queue of people waiting for tables as it was absolutely packed. The front of the house staff was very helpful we were seated in bar area where given the menu and drinks and were told specials of the day. It did not feel like we waited 20 mins for table. And the food was excellent. Through out the dinner service was distinctive. Without any doubt this is best place to dine in Manchester.

We went to New Emperor for a pre theatre meal, the food was great, we will certainly go again. Only problem was that it was so busy that this reflected in the service which would probably been okay if we were not restricted by the fact that we had tickets for a show. We were constantly looking at the time wishing they would hurry up with the food. Still the food was very enjoyable when it came and we made the show with minutes to spare. This is one of the best Chinese Restaurants in city centre in my opinion, well worth a visit.

Both myself and my wife have eaten at both the Chinese and the Thai restaurants on the occasions we have visited Manchester. The food and service have always been fantastic. I am sure if you like good food you will not be disappointed.

Just got back from a great meal at Villaggio and would really recommend it to anyone. We just had the usual pizza and pasta dishes, but it's such a lovely restaurant and the staff were great, so this really adds to the experience. The food itself was faultless. We tried it because we saw it in the City Card Manchester website and had 25% off, but still couldn't believe it when our bill was less than £20! Next time you're in the village, get to Villaggio for a real Italian
