Reviews in Manchester

Having enjoyed Jem and I before and with reasons to celebrate I took my boyfriend there for his first visit; his expectations were high but I have to say Jem and I delivered at all levels! The food was superb, the waiting staff very friendly and enthusiastic and the ambience lovely. We had a great time and they made our celebration(unknowingly) that much more special....I would have no hesitation in recommending a visit or two....

Now relocated to newly refurbished premises 2 doors away, the decor and ambience is quite superb. The quality of the food is really excellent with excellent fish courses as well as the familiar curry dishes. Having tried many Indian restaurants in the area and beyond I can highly recommend The Mahabharat as one of the finest Indian restaurants in the UK, up there with The Bombay Brasserie in London both in cuisine and ambience.

As good as the Thai island it takes it name from. Wines are fairly priced unlike most Chinese who rip you off. Recommended to follow a theatre show.

Probably the best all round restaurant in the greater Manchester area. Nothing has ever disappointed and the only reason it costs more than it should is because we always have too many bottles of wine from the exceptional list!

Friendly, helpful staff, great food (generous portions), cosy/comfortable atmosphere. The kind of place you can enjoy a great meal and feel relaxed instead of rushed. For those who don't like their food too spicy much of what we had was mildly spiced, but you can choose hotter stuff if you want! It was good to be able to relax and enjoy ourselves instead of feeling rushed out of the door. We will definately going back (this was our first visit). Decor not modern, but not too seventies, it seems fitting for this taverna.

I love eating here and have been going back for over 13 years. A fantastic place to take the children

.It has now become our favourite Manchester restaurant - excellent food - great ambience & service. Best time to go mid afternoon & chill out with a couple of bottles of Les Hauts Du Mont.

The Eastern Tandoori is the best Indian Restaurant this side of Rusholme. Inexpensive, Friendly, and Welcoming most of the time. Avoid On Friday/Saturday nights as drunken hordes amass. Other than that absolutely great.

Food was fantastic and the portions were generous too

We went for the Beat the Clock special menu. We ordered at 5.15pm and paid £5.15, which was amazing value. I had the Vegetable Spring Rolls to start and the Lilly Kwok's Chicken Curry. Both were really delicious. My friend had the Chicken and Sweet corn Soup and the Pork Wambamboo - he loved it too. I would definitely recommend Sweet Mandarin. It was a great place tucked away in one of the most exciting streets in Manchester.

I had the best meal of my life at Nutters on the night of my 26th birthday. Cornfed chicken to start and medallions of beef in Stroganoff sauce to follow, sublime. The service was excellent as well, interesting talking to Andrew Nutters father about their new venue!!

the place was very dark and you could not see the menu clearly, there were crayons and pennies on the table from the people befor us . when the meal came it was very nice but you didnt see what you were eating ,

Called in on the spur of the moment, what a find, food well presented and plentiful, staff attentive but not intrusive, we were lucky to get a table as not long after we had sat down the place was full; our first visit but not the last!

Ate here about a week ago. The food was the best we have eaten in Manchester for a good 12 months. And I mean the best food, not just the best Punjabi food. Everything was freshly prepared (be prepared to wait a little longer than usual) and very tasty. Flavours balanced and in abundance. Even the pickle tray has 8 - 9 home made pickles with full descriptions underneath the little bowls, which is fun and useful. Massive selection of dishes, including plenty of fresh fish. Try the Cod starter. We are restaurant owners and are pretty hard to please, but we left this place with a massive smile on our faces. A bit out of the city centre - it? on the Ibis hotel on Princess Street, but there? easy parking at multi-storey across the road. They deserve to do very well.

Good food, nice surroundings, albeit a tad on the noisy side. Very enjoyable meal.

One of the only Indian restaurants I will eat in Bolton as they are generally greasy and yukky. Good clean food and restaurant recently refurbished, not bad at all

It? a chain - but I have to say the Bolton branch are fantastic - they make the best pizza's - really crispy bases and well cooked. The venue is lovely - an old bank with loads of period features - great place for a party and they cater for large bookings

We go here often as it is just down the road form us. I have to say that whilst I think the actual pub is lovely the food vary's all the time from good to awful. Its a 50/50 thing which are not good odds. We would however go again - although it would not be a first choice - be ware of special meals like christmas and easter etc.. thats whent he stress ont he kitchen seems to take its toll.
