Reviews in Manchester

Recently visited here for the third time with my husband. Food excellent as always, highly recommend the arancine. Next time I will be skipping the starter in order to try the puddings though, as I'm usually far too full for both! Staff always so helpful and pleasant, it's a pleasure to visit this cosy restaurant. Lovely to see the chef regularly doing the rounds too to make sure food is to everyone's tastes. Definitely book a table in order to avoid disappointment. Also not the cheapest of places but absolutely worth the money.

It was OK. Pre Theatre menu. Looks reasonable but with a couple of sides, drinks and one dessert soon racked up to £85 which wasn’t quite so reasonable for a pasta meal. The 10% service charge is not acceptable. The service was ok so I didn’t feel like I should challenge it, and I would have tipped, but feel it is cheeky ! We went there because we thought it would be cheaper than San Carlo. I wish I paid the few pounds extra for better food and experience!

The food is amazing! Best I've had in a long while. The service is also fantastic and you're never left waiting for longer than necessary. Very friendly also.

I visited Chakalaka over the weekend, and what a joy it was for me as an expat Saffa. Got my favourite Hunters Dry, biltong, droewors and other yummy dishes in a nice relaxed atmosphere. The venue itself was comfy and quirky and the service great. I am sure some of the classic recipes will not satisfy every person, but we loved it and ate WAYYYY too much!!

We really enjoyed our meals (two carvery dinners, one vegetarian, and two options of the main menu) at the Fairview Inn. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

We went for dinner to celebrate partners birthday, staff was amazing nothing to much trouble and was was brilliant and great value for money 2 courses for £13.95 and they weren’t little portions either

Food quality excellent as always but the wait time to be seated was a bit ridiculous. Booked a table for 7:30 and didn’t get seated until 8. We received our starters relatively quickly but then had to wait an hour for our mains to come and some of the food was forgotten. They did give us some free onion bhajis and chips as well at of apology.

Always a welcoming atmosphere here with a personal touch. Food has never failed to be anything but great.

Everything about this place is amazing. The food was incredible and the staff were so friendly. A superb restaurant and it’s outside of the city centre. We can’t wait to go again!

Excellent!

Great food, good value lunch deal menu. Would recommend.

Lovely little hidden gem in the Northern Quarter. Great atmosphere and good value. Look forward to discovering the beer garden in the future.

Food perfect. Staff are fantastic, welcoming, well looked after. Always love meeting the chef. Introduced 4 friends to this restaurant and I think they're be going back. Only criticism is that the menu is far too big and we had a short wait for our table.

dissapointed, food was quite good, 30 mins late the carvery, not enough staff, had to wait 25 mins for coffee, very poor communication. cramped seating,

Love this place, 7 of us went last time, everyone very Happy with the tasty fresh food, staff always friendly n pacient, never feel rushed but always attentive. Between us we had starters mains desserts lots of drinks n worked out to 30 quid each n that included tip. Will def be going again

Haven't been in over 10 years and thought we would give it a try again. Service from start to finish was excellent, waiting on staff were lovely. The food was lovely, very tasty and certainly full after it. We had prawn cocktail, whitebait, seafood pasta, chicken stroganoff, garlic bread and the cheesecake dessert. Will definitely be back. Was a lovely date night with my hubby x

Lovely cosy restaurant. Fantastic food, very reasonable price. Great service . Will definitely be visiting here again!
