Reviews in Manchester

We went to the Angel on Saturday 20th December. The pub hasn't changed much inside since the beer house days, and neither has the quality of the beer, both excellent. There was six in our group and we tried a variety of dishes. The salmon was fantastic, well cooked and fresh, the beef was succulent, chips are moreish, dessert are a triumph - we tried the Lemon tart and this was refreshing and light. We will definitely be returning. You really should try this place, is a true Mancunian establishment with excellent food, good beer and a reasonable wine list. Huzzah

Akbars was very good a while back, but recently the food is average. Hardly any dish's taste different. It is cheap though if your on a budget. It's very busy due to high numbers of asians who go there as they like value for money rather than quality

We went to this restaurant on the 20/12/08 and as always it was excellent!. We have eaten here about 4 times and each meal has been different and faultless. This really is one of the best (If not the best) Italian's in Manchester. I would fully recommend that you try this one if you like Italian.

We visited the restaurant with Persia friends , who thought the food was excellent , matching Tehran restaurants ,the menu was complete and the pricing was very good , we would recommend this restaurant to any one , the service was good and friendly but watch the bill as we were charged the corkage charge when we had not taken any drinks to the restaurant , but enjoyed their jugs of Dooh , our fault we should have checked the bill

After reading various reviews on the Koh samui, i decided to book our Christmas meal for 29 people. The service and food was excellent. We were well looked after, from start to finish. Fantastic.

Went for the first time this week after trying numerous times. I shouldn't have bothered. I fail to see how people can say this is the best in Manchester, as it is far from that. We ordered eight tapas dish's between two of us and from that, one dish was ok (chicken with paprika). I ordered a mushroom dish with cheese that came as mushroom in a tomato sauce, as the waitress obviously misheard me say 38! That was ok but at 4.75 I would have expected more than 3 button mushrooms, absolute ripoff. Very average food, hardly any taste and we both found it bland Anyway the bill came to Fifty one pounds (inc 4 bottles perroni) and we both left still feeling peckish. Can't believe so many people rave about the place. But it has got a good atmosphere.

This is our preferred restaurant above all in China Town. Service is always superb, food is excellent and always hot. Now going into our second year of eating there for evenings out or a snack during the daytime. Excellent prices and a huge menu to choose from. Go here if you want quick friendly service in a very quiet surrounding.

had my 50th birthday party in the upstairs room food was excellent and the staff very attentive. It made my day special and we will definitely be going back for my daughters 30th next year.

Rule 1. Never judge a book by its cover. The surroundings may not be as upmarket as other town centre restaurants, but to be honest when your getting food as good as this it really doesn't matter. Took a gamble and visited as a family birthday/Christmas present and even the damn veggies where oooiinngg and arrring from start to finish. Service was excellent and nothing too much trouble, a special request for chunky chips (which where delicious by the way) no problem. Having been let down in the past by overpriced restaurants with great surroundings and average food, Kosmos is a welcome change. Would recommend to anyone who appreciates great food. Dec 2008

The smokey Jack Daniels Glaze is to die for.... the food is excellent... best meat dishes in town! Busy place/ popular, but attentive service from table staff. Enjoy!

Tried Dough Yesterday evening after just moving to the area. This is a no brainer alternative to the pizza hut and pizza express chains, the food is far superior and the DOUGH is home made on the premises... you can taste the difference. Had the Xmas pizza! very festive very filling very tasty and i got a starter and a mince pie and coffee for £11! excellent value. Staff were really friendly and definitely an experience I will be doing again and recommending others do!

I'm no foodie but I know what I like. I was hungry and was out with three foodies. I've had a nice in Japanese meal in Manchester and Wilmslow before but all for of us agreed that this was the best authentic Japanese meal in the city. The service was helpful without being intrusive and the sushi platter was enjoyed so much that we ordered another straight after the first. Fresh, tasty and well presented. As is the style these days the kitchen was open and the cooked meat dishes were enjoyed by all. Bottled Asahi and Sapporo suited our taste and the manager had gone to great lengths to ensure that the food was at the top of the agenda. The menu was extensive too without breaking the bank in this credit crunch era. We'll be back and get a green tea in :-)

A friendly pub atmosphere with excellent service. The food was prompt, hot and totally delicious. We recommend the home made chunky chips and the Cheesy Garlic bread. We have booked 13 seats for an Xmas lunch and expect to thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

Very disappointed. Used to be a very nice restaurant but seems to have gone downhill since the new management have taken over. Don't bother trying to call them to book a table of order a take away...no one answers the telephone! Trust me....i left it on re-dial for 90mins! We eventually popped in (it was our favourite place to eat in didsbury so gave it the benefit of the doubt), told the manager but he seemed uninterested. The food came barely warm and needless to say we wont be eating there again.

Went on Saturday evening with hubby and had a really good meal. Beautiful fillet steak and excellent value. Had much better meal than we've had at other more expensive Italians in the area.

We had booked a party for upstairs and I have to say Dhanak Deira was fabulous. Lovely place, excellent food, really good atmosphere and the most obliging Waiters and Managers around. We had ordered a combination of Indian and Chinese food and it was delicious. I highly recommend Dhanak Deira and cannot wait to go back there.

My 7 year old daughter and myself went to Spicy Hut again on Friday evening. My family have been many times before, the food is amazing and so are the staff. The lamb starter and lamb shashlik melts in your mouth, the best restaurant in Rusholme bar none. Thank You Spicy Hut for the present.

The moon was disappointing, the portions were small compared to any Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The food was tampered to meet the British market. In my opinion, if you want a real Indian meal, you should go to saajan original on the corner opposite lal quila in rusholme or sanams. These restaurants are the true thing APNA as the Asian people say .Any body who recommends this place does not know what real Indian food is.
