Reviews in Manchester

The ambience was good and the service was OK but I'm afraid I didn't find their food "authentic" at all (I should know this since I am Korean...) Never heard of Koreans using pineapples in their traditional cooking! Food was overall OK but fairly bland, Kimchi was not spicy enough and a tad bit pricey for the quality. And please, hire at least one person who speaks Korean! This IS Korean restaurant after all.

I go to the Jai Kathmandu quite often for my Nepalese food or indian food. Currys, Pillau, Masala or whatever you fancy and a small variety of Desserts. Sometimes to eat in and some times for a take away. In either case the food is great. I last had a Lamb biryani take away which comes with a vegetable course. Large and plentiful pieces of lamb. Fresh spices for flavour, not to burn your mouth out. No rubbishy "additives" or flavourings. Just great food cooked really well. I am diabetic and cannot tolerate large amounts of sugars. I find the menu with its large variety of options and tastes just down my street whilst not harmful to me. There is a little sugar in some of the dishes but not a lot and of course you can always check if you have any alergies, ie nuts. The service is attentive without being intrusive. The house wine quite reasonable. I am sold on the place, reasonably priced and one restaurant out of "Town" I recommend for that bit of superior class in Nepalese or Indian cuisine. Enjoy people.

Please do not go for a meal here. I attended last sunday with my family. I ordered roast lamb, it tasted like it had been cooked in floor cleaner, and the boiled potatoes were from a tin. I even heard someone at the check out desk complain about the same poor food they also looked very disappointed. Unfortunately i needed to use the gents on the way out ? it was disgraceful. The smell was of stale urine and very overpowering. What a shame this beautiful location has been spoiled by bad Food and unclean facilities. Take my advice STAY well clear of this establishment.

its shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

San Carlo is a must for anyone who enjoys an atmospheric and high quality evening. The seafood is peerless and the wine list as extensive as you will find at this level. We use San Carlos both in an evening and also for lazy (drunken) lunches with the kids and friends - despite its standing San Carlo is fantastic for children as you would expect from the Italians. Cannot speak too highly of this place - go there soon!

Visited Dough for the first time on Valentines. Whilst the Northern Quarter is not the most pleasant area of Manchester it does provide ample parking. Dough however offers a very pleasant dining environment. Modern, minimalist, bright and very clean. The space between tables was more than many restaurants afford their guests and this spacious feel combined with a young mixed gender clientele created the a very relaxed and enjoyable ambience. The staff were very attentive whilst not being overpowering. We were assigned a designated waiter and he was excellent. For starters we shared baked dough sticks served with balsamic vinegar & olive oil and a mango, vine tomatoes and red onion salad dressed with basil infused olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The salad in particular was excellent. Throughout the evening the ingredients were fresh and very tasty. Our pizza main course was served with perfect timing. We eagerly consumed the Funghi and American options. In our opinion the pizzas were on a par with the Olive Garden and far superior to other Manchester restaurants we have dined at. The big difference and clearly important at the moment was the low prices charged by the Dough. To pay so little for such a pleasant dining experience mans we will be going back again and again. A great night.

i went to this place tonight and the service was awful along with the food . was very disappointed . i will never go back to this restaurant again and i have told all friends and family not to bother . worst meal i have had in a very long time

Me and my girl friend went to Fu's on Valentines night,the restaurant was very busy but the quality of the food didn't suffer and we had a really enjoyable meal (salt and pepper chicken was lovely), we've been disappointed on previous Valentines night but not this time at Fu's, so Thanks for making our night really enjoyable Mr Fu and his staff.

Don't be fooled by the outside appearance or location of this place, as it is one of the best restaurants I have ever been too!! All food is obviously cooked fresh and locally sourced. Must try the home made breads!!!

some of the best fish and chips I have tasted for a long time. The chips were brown and dry and the fish was large, fresh and cooked in a light crispy batter. The menu was quite varied, including scampi, pies, puddings, etc as well as a selection of starters and desserts. The Fish Bar, which only opened in January, together with the cafe, are beautifully designed and decorated with an entirely black and white theme. The only criticism which I have is that, although the staff are friendly and helpful, the service is quite slow

First visit this week with some work colleagues , friendly staff , nice atmosphere , the platters for starters for sharing are excellent , then i can recommend the stir fry dishes and fish dishes , my colleagues from Holland & America enjoyed the food.

Worst place I have ever been.

Came here tonight with a visitor to Stockport. The Kalimari was exquisite and everything tasted authentic that made for a `good mood` feeling both with the cosy ambience and in the tummy. Indeed a `hidden gem`.

Myself and my Family have visited the Golden Lion several times. We are so pleased with everything we are looking to bring a party of roughly about 15 people on Sunday 15/02/2009

Sapporo Teppanyaki - Awesome food, brilliant service, fun, flames and flying fried potato, done! I went for my birthday on the 4th of feb, just need another excuse to go again! If your considering going all i can say is - just go, you wont regret it! Its gone straight to the top of my favourite places to eat out list.

This is my 3rd visit to this restaurant. I have taken different friends on each occasion and everybody has really enjoyed it. Great value for money. Food excellent! Cosy, friendly restaurant tucked away in Stockport. A little gem. I have been to some very popular (expensive) Greek/Mediterranean restaurants in M/c and food here is by far the best.

I won't be recommending The Lounge to anyone! Our visit on Friday 6th Feb 09 was the worst experience we've probably ever had, no really! Poor service, no atmosphere, loud noise and management's attitude when we complained were all what you don't want when your out. On arrival, we enquired about waiting times, '20-25mins' so we ordered a beer. After several enquiries, numerous excuses but no apology and a gruelling 75mins we eventually sat down, adjacent the kitchen entrance and staff loitering area. We should have gone with our instinct after 50mins but as it was our first visit, we gave it the benefit of doubt. How sorry we were!!! I could go on but won't. Our opinion is if you want poor service with an attitude and to sit next to the kitchen entrance, get served a tough steak without a steak knife go here, otherwise find somewhere else.

After reading reviews on Koh samui i decided to treat my best friend to a meal as she has been my support through really bad times over the past year. I knew she loved thai so thought i would take her out to say Thank you. The meal we had was lovly and the service was great. As i like to eat out alot it was important to me that the food tasted good, which it did. However, when we received the bill, i noticed that i had been charged £6.45 for some plain fried noodles. I could understand paying up tp £3.00 for some noodles in restaurant but not almost £7.00 - you wouldn't even get charged that in London! I told the waiter serving us thinking there must have been some misake but they said that's how much it costs. They were very polite about the situation which is more than i can say for their manager! We asked to speak to the him but he was too busy eating in the restaurant alone to come and talk to his customers. In the end, i paid the bill as he had no intention of coming over to us. When were leaving, i told him that i will be writing a bad review, not on the food or service but on his attitude to which he laughed and said o.k! I was disgusted by this because he obviously didn't care one bit. We will not be returning there due to this and will be letting as many of our connections know about this. Thank you for your time.
