Reviews in Manchester

I was invited by the owner of this Restaurant to write a review in November 2005 for the Standish Directory. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal which was both spicy and yet full of flavour and the staff are always most welcoming. I have since returned to the restaurant many many times. I am steadily working my way through the menu and have yet to be disappointed! Prices are very reasonable too.

Just cannot fault this place, a top, top recommendation, try a pint of draught leffe in the lass o Gowrie (just opposite) as an aperitif. EastzEast is now easily the best Indian in Manchester, the food from a varied menu is both superb and plentiful. Without doubt the best in Manchester at the moment.

My guest and I started with a French Onion Soup with Gruyere Crostini at just short of a fiver - the onion soup was somewhat oily but otherwise fine. The accompanying croutons with barely melted cheese were neither crunchy nor brown. Bangers & Mash for my guest was reasonable and my goat's cheese risotto lacked any real passion, with the goat's cheese being thrown in raw at the end of cooking.

16 of us came to Efes for my friend's hen night last Saturday. What an atmosphere! The waiters did a fantastic dance and they got the bride-to-be up belly dancing. The waiters also led everyone round the room in a huge dance round all the tables. Very good food, lots of fun music...Turkish as well as the more usual dancefloor fillers. And they let you dance on the chairs! Brilliant!!!

A very good restaurant indeed, I think the food is outstanding and when you can eat a starter, main course and either a coffee or ice cream for £4.50 served to perfection then this is a place which should not be missed.

Great food, great service, staff always pleasant and helpful. My son loves the food, you can see it being cooked so its always fresh and hot.

This is one of the best indians I've had - and the restaurant comes highly recommended having won numerous awards. Would recommend the Balti Saag or Chana, but everything I've had there has been lovely

top notch cuisine and really great service. Really authentic food which brought memories flooding back of travelling round Thailand. Love this place

I go here all the time and they always make you feel special excellent service, friendly banter and amazing food what more could you want

We are regular customers at The Stables Bistro and have been for many years. The atmosphere is just right with the staff being friendly but not to obtrusive. The food is wonderfully tasty and beautifully presented and the ever changing menu leaves us wanting to go back for more. We are especially fond of the straw potatoes which are a must to accompany any main meal. Do try this amazing restaurant you certainly won’t be disappointed!

I have been to Panama Hattys a few times now and would definitely recommend this restaurant. The service is warm, friendly, and efficient. The atmosphere is relaxed. The food is unbelievably good! For the price of the food I don't think this place can be beaten in Manchester!

Extremely good quality of service. But the price of the set menu is not clearly stated 'per person'. If you think that the set menu is cheap, then you will get the bill with the double of what you expect!!!

im addicted 2 this place!

Excellent food with very reasonable prices. Staff were very welcoming and accommodating.

A fantastic gem, hidden away down milkstone road, the food is always great and service is fantastic.

Amazing food, and excellent service. I had a Chicken Nawabi, and I can say I have never tasted any curry as nice as that before! Even the Naans are divine. They serve Cobra and even Kingfisher lager which is better than Cobra. Also they were busy when we went there, and not once were we waiting for any service when we wanted anything they were very attentive!

I visited Grinch at lunch on a weekday; the food was excellent with very prompt service from a very attractive waitress. I would certainly visit again and would love to see the Jazz singer that is there on a Saturday. Top Marks.

Been to Smith's many times. The food is always excellent, and the choice is extensive. The staff are always happy to discuss your choices with you, and point you in the right direction. And if you aren't happy with anything, it is changed without question. There is live jazz on Tuesday night, which just makes a good night into something really special. I have recommended this restaurant to several people, and nobody has been disappointed.
