Superb. My only dilemma have cheese and onion pie or liver and onions !!! Next time I’m having the liver

Arnero has some really amazing indian food. Perfectly sized portions and super tasty with really good service from the staff.

Excellent and friendly service. They atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming. Food was delicious and good potion sizes. The pre-theatre menu is great value for money and there is a good choice of dishes. There is a good range of drinks on the menu too. Will definitely visit again.

Have visited several times to get their amazing pizza as a takeaway. Really sad that they no longer sell via justeat / deliveroo / uber eats or similar because I'd definitely buy from them more often if I could get it delivered. Finally had an excuse to dine in a few weeks ago (28th July) and Paola was an amazing host - very friendly with my group and accommodating to their special requests. Was sad that her legendary Tiramisu was not available (that she'd boasted about on a previous takeaway visit), but all of the food was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by the whole group. Sadly if I hadn't had those previous great experiences it would probably make my most recent visit (13th August) my last ever! Paola was not serving our table; the person who did struggled with most parts of the interaction. Not sure if she's new, had a bad day, or everything just stemmed from the menu change (happened between my visits), but we experienced glitches during taking our orders (e.g. asking for drinks orders before presenting the drinks menu; needing to come back and clarify what was ordered, and not recalling which 2 people - in a group of 4 - ordered items requiring cutlery changes) and generally very poor service compared to what I'd generally expect at any restaurant. It also took a long time to be able to submit payment (by card) after getting the bill, even though the restaurant was not busy. Overall the service experience was a big disappointment, especially when contrasted against Paola's. I was also left disappointed by the menu change itself. Although it's still packed with lots of tasty options it looks like they've had to cut down on portion size to avoid raising prices too much? It's a shame because I had practically the same order on both occasions, but the one from the new menu was an absolute shadow of its former glory both in terms of portion size and enjoyment; I noted that all members of my party during the latter visit were similarly disappointed by the sizes of their portions (2 of the 4 had not visited previously). Overall, the food here remains a culinary delight - even if it's not quite as awesome as it was. The service (from Paola and her family at least) is also great. But like all of us, they appear to be trying to find ways to make ends meet at the moment and that might negatively reflect on the end result? 2 things I'd love to see: - Let me place takeaway orders online via your website (even if I need to collect, it's way easier to place an order online than via phone) - Publish your menu on your website!

Top notch. Great Food. Good vibe.

Excellent food, atmosphere and service

absolutely loved it! we chose to have our date night here and neither of us had been before but couldn’t fault it and will be a regular place to visit for us. it was quiet but it had only been open half an hour when we went but that didn’t bother us, the staff were lovely and super accommodating to any changes we wanted to make and the service was so fast - and at an amazing price we were shocked our total bill was what it was. will be returning!

Absolutely wonderful as always Service second to none Food wonderful Atmosphere great

Absolutely amazing! This is my second visit to Crowded House, this time I took my Mum and my 8 year old Niece. You're greeted with a smile and given time to settle in. The staff are lovely, they don't bother or pressure you to order. The food! Wow! Outstanding! I had the chicken wrap and loaded fries and shared with my Niece, everything was delicious and the portions are just right. Highly recommended!

Lovely staff and amazing food! Will 100% be back

This place is superb! Great selection of dishes, I’ve not had a bad meal there yet. Consistently excellent food, up there with the very best Indian restaurants in Manchester. They also have a selection of Indo-Chinese food, everything I’ve had is very thoughtfully put together and the freshness of the flavours sings out.

Absolutely love the food and the service. We have visited Chakalaka multiple times and it's one of our favourite places.

Always eat here with my family when in the area visiting family and friends. Comfortable setting and great beer garden for those warm summer days / evenings. Staff always friendly and helpful. May have a bit of a wait when it gets busy, but otherwise top notch!

Just had a great meal at Fatloaf. It’s a great neighbourhood restaurant. Pork Taco was superb and the Lamb main course spot on. Never had a poor meal here. Always tasty and innovative

Had a great time at The Rising Moon last night! Went in for some tea and ended up staying till closing. Food was great, so was the atmosphere and the staff, particularly Matt and Adele.

Went for our meal last night and we couldn’t fault anything! The drinks the food the service were all outstanding and the price we couldn’t grumble at all. Will be coming again! Excellent 5 ⭐️

My wife and enjoyed a very pleasant anniversary lunch. Good beer, good food and very good service.
