Reviews in Manchester

I want to start by saying the food was lovely and our waitress was also wonderful and very knowledgeable and I would come back on another day to see how it is for a second time because of how lovely the food and waitress were. However, I've not rated it as highly as I would normally for 3 reasons: 1) They lost our booking/ someone didn't write it down. They did rectify this and still find us a table on a very busy evening. However, I'd booked this well in advance because I was on a strict time schedule (I'd allowed just over 90m for our meal for 4 people which should be very achievable). Unfortunately, sitting at the table 25m after arriving while they found us a table meant we couldn't even entertain a coffee or dessert after. 2) the time between starter and mains was over 30m, I assume because it was so busy and they weren't expecting us (not our fault) with 2 large parties in the restaurant, but again this compounded the fact that dessert/coffee wasn't an option. 3) A female member of staff (management/owner?) was openly very rude to our waitress at the bar we were sat next to when she was doing a wonderful job and that in turn made us all feel very uncomfortable.

This is my 3rd time coming and it does not disappoint. Staff are amazing, would recommend.

One of the best Indian restaurants we've eaten in the UK. Fabulous good and friendly prompt service.

There was a great ambience in the restaurant. The food was very nice and the staff were lovely and very accommodating.

Very poor service from start to finish. We were sat down for 20 minutes and were ignored by the staff. We had to call someone over to order drinks and they had still not arrived by the time our food order was taken. The curry goat was full of bones. I have had curried goat many times and it is never served in this way. Any curried or stewed dish should be served bone free-apparently not here. Every piece of meet had a bone attached to it which made it difficult to eat. The beer I was served was terrible as well. At no point did any of the staff ask us if everything was alright or whether we had enjoyed our meal when plates were collected. We were told we had to pay at the bar and I was presented with a total figure on a screen without being shown a breakdown of costs. I asked if there was a service charge and for them to remove it from the bill and was not asked why. As we were leaving we advised some people looking at the menu outside not to go in as we had had such a bad experience. We have lived in Chorlton for four and a half years and eaten at various places in the area. This is by far and away the worst meal out we have had in this time. A real shame as this was a rare child free evening together. We will not be returning here again and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else.

Great night out! Food was lovely. Attentive staff, nice place

Just to say we really enjoyed our lunch with you ..it was tasty and the staff amazing ..it was first time my friend had been too. We will definitely come back x

The food was very tasty, particularly the goat curry but the service was slow (I would guess the focus was on setting up for later tables and that distracted from looking after the few tables who were in). We had a booking at 17:30, and at 18:15 we were told that we couldn’t order desserts (not enough time) and we would have to move for other bookings. I understand the January offer meant they were due to get busy later but at the time there were only 3 tables in, those later tables/busier period was clearly the priority. Reserved signs on other tables suggested they had a 90 minute window so unsure why we needed to leave after 45 minutes. This wasn’t a great way to end the meal and we left inclined not to go back again, even though the food was good, which is a shame.

Had a lovely meal with 4 friends. We all had something different and it was cooked perfectly. Very obliging.

The food was absolutely amazing, plenty of it and piping hot. The service was exemplary and the young woman who served us was attentive, friendly and very professional. We didn’t order a dessert as we were all full from our meal, will definitely return. In regards to value, my father in law said he had the same meal elsewhere and it was more expensive and got a lot less.

Visited yesterday with friends, food delicious as always, my friends were very impressed. All staff very courteous and friendly especially Adam, very pleasant young man. Thankyou all

The staff were very attentive. The food as usual was lovely. Nice atmosphere.

Had a good night in there, food delicious, drinks a bit expensive. Could have been warmer in the restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant, food was amazing, staff were very friendly, would definitely return.

We had a really nice meal. It was our first visit but we will return again.

Have visited this lovely restaurant many times over the years and have always been very happy with both the delicious food and service. The staff are always very friendly yet professional and the food cooked to perfection. Thank you to all the team.

As usual, service, food, drinks ambience and friendliness of staff was top notch. Thanks to the amazing team at Fat Loaf!
