Reviews in Manchester

Poor food, slow service. When I go out for a meal albeit an 'early diner' at a not so cheap £12 for 2 courses I expect for better quality in both service and food quality. I ordered chicken kebab for my main course. This consisted of a salad (ok) poorly cooked and presented rice and 5 pieces of chicken not on a skewer with a piece oe a pepper which had adhered to the chicken, was this one of yesterdays salvaged meals. I would have gone to town on them but I was in company and did not want to upset one of my guests who was in quite a fragile state. Instead I have chosen to write this review. Incidentally they were short staffed because people had come in without booking. My recommendation is not to go with or without a booking.

Excellent food and service as always. Spice Garden was the first Thai restaurant and after my recent visit it is still the best. The starters were exceptional and the Green curry was so fresh it was amazing. I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Excellent in every respect 10/10. Visited without booking Friday 28/1/11, very busy but managed to sort a table. Very much like a small family restaurant you would find in Italy (Sicilian though) The staff were very good, the chef came out to ask if all was ok. The food was excellent. Dine in many places in the area of Cheshire, plus Manchester, Lancashire etc Farina is worth a visit, Book in advance as this place is going to be popular.

I went to see King George's Speech at the AMC with my partner and afterwards we wanted a quality Italian restaurant where we could enjoy a quiet late lunch (after 2). Don Marco fitted the bill perfectly as it was just across the road (Deansgate) opposite the Hilton and in our opinion was definitely fit to serve King George's lunch as the restaurant scored highly on all fronts - the service was first class, the presentation was impeccable and the quality of the food was truly outstanding. Combine these superlatives with value for money, an ambient setting (music & decor wise) and the option of al fresco dining and you can see why Don Marco is truly a gem amongst the proliferation of Italian eateries in the city centre.

Visited Zaika on Thursday 27th Jan 2010 with the mrs & 2 little ones for my wife's birthday. Never mentioned the birthday but the staff realised & presented us with a cake ( which embarrassed the hell out of wife). Generally, the restaurant is clean, with a modern chic deco. The food was fantastic especially the Bengali Prawn with Monkfish, recommended by Manchester Evening News, City Life Magazine. Liz had aloo tikka to begin & lahori lamb chops with mushroom rice. kids shared a chooza makhani with a cheese naan. We will definitely be going back. Marks out of 10....9.5 for service. 10 for food & 10 for staff attentiveness.

Been going here for a number of years and invariably have the west lake beef and tomato soup and Mrs Spottys Beancurd - delicious!!

Absolutely our FAVOURITE restaurant! We've been going to Viva Espana for about 8 years and we love it. The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxed, and the choice of food is wide. We've tried many dishes from the menu, plus new ones as added, and we've never had any disappointment. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are good too. This certainly won't break the bank and you'll leave wanting to book another night. Highly recommended!

Food portions are getting increasingly smaller; service was poor from an aloof waiter who couldn’t even be bothered to carry our drinks to the table, and snarled when we asked where the children’s chips were. We have been loyally going to the Millon since it opened for probably about 20 years, we won’t be going again, but looking to one of the other many Indian restaurants in the area who I sure will value our custom

I have been going to the bilash for the past 10+ years and can honestly say i have never had a bad meal there..eating in or take away Kahn and the staff are always more than welcome to make you feel welcome and are happy to meet your requirements.. give it a try..trust me you wont be disappointed!!

We went to Japan last year and really wanted to try something authentic now we are home. The atmosphere was great, and the staff friendly and very helpful/attentive. We tried the authentic Japanese seating and had the Tokyo Season Platter starter, followed by Katsu Curry, washed down with hot Sake. The food was wonderful and just what I was hoping for. I can't recommend this place highly ENOUGH. Fantastic!!

Our most favourite dining place. We simply have fallen in love the the place! Food is wonderful, the service attentive and tailored to each customer's need. For us, we like a slow paced dining experience, so we can talk and laugh and put the worlds to rights - so to speak... Yet others (as we have observed) want a dining experience at a more faster pace, and so Sue and the team oblige. Wonderful, just wonderful! As you can tell by our review here, this is our most frequented and loved restaurant. Clara and I just want to thank the Kantipur team for making us feel special... And, appreciated and welcomed. This review is our way of showing you that we are grateful to giving us a place, an Oasis even, to visit for wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We most definitely will be back very soon, Oh and a warm big thank you for the complimentary tasters such as the Fried Fish... WOW!

Excellent service and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Fantastic value for money. will certainly be visiting again !!

I thought the owner was very snooty (his name is Max). The pub is not child friendly and the owner didn't seem to want children in his pub. The food was expensive, lots off football jobs in as well.

fantastic people, fantastic food. good price. all home made whats not to like? 5*'s

What an absolutely fantastic evening we had at Bistro West 156! It was my first visit and certainly won't be the last. Everything was excellent. Sean was a very attentive host and nothing was too much trouble. As for the food! WOW. Really tasty food that was not too OTT but was certainly a change from the norm. Very generous portions and beautiful flavours. The cosy, intimate atmosphere coupled with great food and excellent service makes Bistro West 156 a welcome change to the majority of restaurants out there - others should set their bar at this standard - outstanding!

Worst service ever!! Average food!! Rude waiters that make you feel uncomfortable and rushed!! Thought maybe it was a one off....went in the 2nd time and it was worse!! Will never go in to eat again!!

I went to Coriander on Monday with my flatmate. I can honestly say it was the best curry I have had in Manchester. I had a Chicken Chilli Massalla. The portion was bigger than you usually get, it wasn't oily, and it was downright delicious. My flatmate was also impressed with his Jal Frezi. The breads were fresh and the consistency was brilliant. I'll be forgetting about the curry houses in West Didsbury from now on. This is a gem

We recently held a party for forty people at the Stable Restaurant Hyde The canapes were amazing.The hot buffet delicious and the miniature desserts to die for.Everyone commented on the excellent quality of the food and service,Many said they would return People were coming and going all afternoon and as soon as they arrived hot fresh canapes appeared.The attention to detail was fantastic .This is certainly a place to hold a special event
