Reviews in Manchester

We have lived in the village for over 20 years. We have just had the most appalling meal ever. We were regular customers to the Horseshoe, but since it's been taken over omg. Staff ok, but my husband ordered the beef, it was 95% FAT. He doesn't like complaining, but he did, every mouthful was FAT. I wouldn't bring it home for my dog. I ordered. Suet pudding, asked was it like the one in the chippys "yes". Oh my husband also ordered chips NOT mash, what did it come with MASH. NO ONE came to apolologise. H toddled off to complain. All we paid for was the starter and wine. We didn't want that - we weren't after free meal. JUST A DECENT ONE. We WILL NOT be returning, and we are going to tell as many of our friends - AVOID this place.

We went to Cinnamon Standish as we had heard about a Sunday buffet offer that seemed too good to be true, it was, first of all we were made to wait for 10 minutes in a cramped foyer area, it's £8.95 for what is supposed to be a buffet, a buffet that offers a choice of just 2 starters & if you require poppadoms they are extra, we had 4 with a chutney tray at a cost of £4.90, the onion bhaji's & chicken tikka starters on offer were nice . The main course offers a choice of just 4 dishes with pilau rice & cardboard pretending to be nan bread, none of which are labelled & when I asked one of the waiters what the dishes were, he didn't know either, I had a brown dish that turned out to be lamb madras, so glad I didn't just plonk this lucky dip dish onto my 2 year olds plate, she would have screamed all night it was that hot, the dish itself was quite nice although the lamb was a little dried up, my wife had chicken tikka massala & despite the tub she got it from looking full, it was an effort to find the chicken but tasted ok . I was driving & my wife's pregnant so we only ordered soft drinks, for a glass which was about 3/4 pint of diet coke I think £3.00 is excessive . Overall the food we ate was generally ok, I don't think there's anywhere near enough choice to describe it as a buffet & labelling of meals would be helpful to customers, I was left waiting 5 minutes for a plate as there were none left when I went for my main course, not ideal . I don't think we'll be returning here as the food is better at other local Indian restaurants, the food on the buffet wasn't replenished regularly, the drinks were expensive & it's unnecessary to leave customers waiting in the small foyer area when 3/4 of the seats in the restaurant were empty .

By far the best cafe I've ever been too. Great menu and fantastic service.

You are required to pay before you enter or even eat which is a poor way to treat customers.

Went to La Scala on Saturday and enjoyed an excellent atmosphere and amazing food. The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very, very welcome. Will defintely be visiting again soon and I would very highly recommend La Scala to anyone.

Food is gorgeous, atmosphere is brilliant and the staff are warm and welcoming. La Scala is brilliant, deffo recommend x

We love the Empire, we went last night and had a lovely meal. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are always very friendly and helpful.

Once again just a wonderful evening spent with my family on Sunday evening at La Scala. Atmosphere, amazing. Food and wine, fabulous. Staff, excellent. As always such a warm and friendly welcome, without loosing any of the professional and courteous experience that you would expect from a good restaurant. Yet again can only say the best dining experience ever!

Just been down there tonight booked a table for 7.15 left at 8 still not sat down. No one bothered to keep us informed, so now sat down in an Italian enjoying my food Used to go to the Horseshoe regularly and never had this problem before. I wouldn't mind you were not that busy to forget us.

This place is amazing.. beautiful food, staff, atmosphere everything 100% recommend.

Top Class, I have visited on a weekly basis since the restaurant opened last year and I still can't get enough! Food is always beautiful, freshly made and with their specials and A La Carte menu there's always something new to try.

Enjoyed a really pleasant evening at La Scala last Saturday, extremely friendly staff, really nice food, amazing atmosphere and a very enjoyable night. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely terrible. DO NOT TAKE A CAKE FOR A SPECIAL OCCASSION, they will give away to the wrong party and not expect to compensate for their incompetence, they will accuse you of trying to take advantage, completely unprofessional and incompetent establishment, would not recommend

Lovely lunch for 2 gluten free and one dairy free diners. Staff coped well with boisterous toddler and food was excellent. Lovely potato soup with truffle oil followed by delicious gluten free sandwiches. The bread was the best we have ever tasted! Thanks guys. We don't live in Manchester but we will definitely be back and can't wait to try the afternoon tea other people were tucking in to.

I order regularly unless im working away and the food is great x. Staff are always polite and friendly x. I highly recommend Indian Plaza to everyone I know xx

Excellent.

I am following these ppl everywhere the staff lovely and food is amazing the steak is just yummy, couldn't fault it one bit. ;)

This was my 1st time here for a meal on a Monday night. There was 3 of us and I'm in a wheelchair. On arriving the doors were open and at once saw a step leading into the restuarant, this put me off slightly as it wasn't mentioned when I rang them and asked if they had a disabled toilet,. Once inside the decor was bright and very spacious, I was really impressed with it. The meal was lovely, the waiter service was spot on. I then went to use the disabled loo, just a slight niggle that there was was some chairs stacked in front of the Door but they were easily removed when asked, once inside loo it was lovey and clean and spacious for wheelchairs I did keep rolling back slightly as the floor seemed to tilt but it wasn't a problem for me. On leaving we were just about to get down the step again when one of the waiters asked if the ramp would be better for us, yes there is a ramp but we had not seen it so I was so pleased and so much easier for me. We had had a lovely evening and the ramp was the icing on the cake. Would really recommend. Brilliant.
