Top 30 Best Casual dining out in Manchester

“Incredible cinema, great atmosphere. You can have food and drinks served to you whilst you watch your movie. Great night out.”

“Parked at the carpark next door and thought we-d try it out before leaving the city centre and it was the best sushi we've had in a while. Would defo recommend this place, what a great little gem. The food was nice and fresh and the staff were super friendly and very helpful.”

“What can I say? Incredible doesn't quite cover it. My niece and I went yesterday as a treat for her 30th birthday. We were greeted with a smile, the door opened for us, and promptly taken up to homage on the mezzanine level above the glorious and very impressive restaurant. We were seated in the most exquisite room, and both felt very special indeed. Our jackets were taken and hung, the menu's described to us. We each ordered a cocktail to start, and these were delicious . Amy had the special cocktail of the day which was aptly called lovely lady ( very fitting for my niece) and I really wanted something with an almond flavour, so one was created for me, very impressive. We then ordered our cheeses, 3 to start, and we paired these with wine. We followed this with even more of the extensive cheese selection. Again paired with wine. Each cheese has a chutney alongside it to pair with the flavour of the cheese. Some little bread roll, and some biscuits that basically melted in your mouth. I even had a dessert which was incredible, unfortunately I cannot remember the name of this, but it was a little like a creme brulle, with tonka bean flavour ( similar to vanilla) it had the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The room we were in was absolute luxury. There was relaxing background music, candlelight everywhere, very comfortable chairs, an extremely intimate feeling to it. We literally had the room to ourselves which made it feel even more special. The bathroom is situated on the same floor which is great. Last but by no means least , Michael was our incredible host, very knowledgeable about every wine and cheese, extremely professional, attentive and I would say an absolute asset to Wood. Thank you Michael for making our visit so memorable and special. I would highly recommend homage at Wood. You will not be disappointed.”

“Hired here for my grandsons 21st,they were excellent, couldn't thank them enough.Staff were really friendly and very helpful and efficient. Thank you.”

“The food was good, as was the service. It wouldn't be fair to comment on the atmosphere as we called late on a Sunday night. Nothing was too much trouble for the guys there, and pizzas were served promptly. Really loved the sourdough texture.”

“First visit and loved it so much. Got the full English and the portion was so huge, had to take the rest home. Lovely staff and gorgeous back garden where we ate. Will be back again soon!”

“Loved the atmosphere very busy. Very tasty and fresh food. Good portion size and attentive staff and very helpful. Great menu and price. Fantastic service. Even better its bring your own ALCOHOL and free Corkage which helps keep the bill down making it a affordable evening. Will be back and recommend..........”

“Really good experience. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Sat in there studying on my laptop during a fairly busy time for 3hrs and wasn’t bothered or asked to move etc. Would recommend this restaurant as a nandos to go to.”

“On arrival we got given the menu as we waited for a table. When we got taken to our table the staff were quick at serving us and were very polite and had good knowledge of the local area as we were visiting.”

“Great venue. Very comfortable and cosy. Lots of seating space. Lots of choice of drinks and recently started to do food again. Seasonal drinks available too. Sports games available on TV.”

“Who said you can't have fun and stay safe? Namco Bowling made it happen! We had a great time with family. We booked 2 lanes side by side and played against one another. The place felt safe, clean and in line with the gov. guidelines.”

“Great place, went there last night for friend's 40th & it was amazing. Mike is a great host.”

“Great early dinner menu with lots of choice for meat eaters and vegetarians. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Food was gorgeous with great portion sizes.”

“Simply the best place in Manchester for a kebab (or mixed grill) and naan. 10/10. The food is delicious. Free soup (with nice spices) and truly unlimited Kurdish tea. The service is exquisite. The restaurant is busy, spacious and they really look after you when it comes to going above and beyond, e.g. birthday celebrations etc. Great facilities. A diamond in the rough. There is another Kurdish restaurant on this street that needs to take lessons from Slemani. The other restaurant took 1 hour+ for service, indeed the service was non-existent. The soup was cold at the other restaurant. The tea didn't arrive. Facilities were dated. The whole experience was sub-optimal.”

“I’m Gna give the stars. Mainly for the service. The food was good. Not like wow factor but tasty and good. For the money..... it’s very good value. The staff are really good. Like really really good! I asked an opinion on a dish the chap servicing me was quiet a big guy. Kept calling me brother and called my wife sister which was really nice of him ..... the guy got the dish out from the kitchen ! Just to show me ! That’s some serious stuff. Really kind. Really cold glass of water. We ordered half chicken and a Parmeasan dish too. I will always go back. I go there a lot but never left a review. But as for my last visit. This is needed.”

“Ordered 2 large hot & spicy and chicken feast for collection on Sunday 19 December. Received very warmth welcome and friendly staff, especially the gentleman who makes the pizza and topping. He is a great personality and wonderful customer service. The pizza on itself were really nice. Never been disappointed with Domono's pizza alway really delicious. Domino's pizza is the best pizza ever.”

“Always follow the app to see how long the food will be, foods Always hot and drivers a polite.”

“Caught these guys on the corner having a grand opening. Very nice eat in facilities, no where else in the area has seating. The O.T burger has been recommended and let me tell you those chicken burgers are delicious. The menu looks outstanding. Formidable chicken. Absolutely legendary stuff. Also greeted by very nice staff who are happy to help This is literally a game changer. Fresh, local and tasty. Meals are reasonably priced, box meal with chips and drink for less than £10. Drove past here and was eating my burger within the hour. We are very lucky to now have a decent burger/takeaway place in Failsworth, this area needed good fast food joint and here it is.”

“Came for dinner with a friend, the food was fantastic - really laid back atmosphere and lovely staff! Would highly recommend the Pichana steak!”

“Been meaning to try this place for a while, had my first Snobby Cow Burger and Dirty Fries, I've traveled far and wide looking for a good burger and had some good ones, but who knew that the best was right under my nose the whole time, amazing fries, perfect seasoning and ingredients and an amazingly juicy burger with the best concoction of toppings that complemented it perfectly. I'll probably be back next week with some friends...”

“Absolutely amazing amazing restaurant!! Highly recommend to visit. The most delicious food and of course the famous Russian honey cake that is a must when visiting!!”

“me and the wife went on a date night the first one in 7 yrs to freyas grill. it was the best food and atmosphere you could wish for. the food was well prepared fresh and tasted amazing the service was second to none would highly recommend to anyone well worth it and a credit to the owner AA++++ will be going back again soon thank you.”

“Scott has been walking my dog, Rupert, for nearly 1.5 years. He started doing puppy visits initially until he was vaccinated which he then joined the group walks. Throughout it all Scott has been amazing with him and Rupert gets so excited every time he gets picked up! The best touch on it is the updates via Instagram stories where I can see my little boy running around being happy. I highly recommend the value of the service for the price compared to doggy day care.”

“Lovely little place we stumbled across when walking down the canal. Fresh pizzas, the dough brought from the main kitchen in Sale but soon they will be making in house in Altrincham too. We got the margarita, vegetarian and parmesan mozerella pizza and it was probably some of the best pizza I have had around, reminds me of the pizza we had in Sorrento and Napoli. Not too heavy, but filling. The kids loved the pizza and we did too. Definitely coming back here regularly.”

“Top one. One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been; very tasty and fresh foods, interesting bar with really good choices of drinks , friendly staff (owners), nice and cosy place. Highly recommended. I will be back soon!!”

“Amazing food! If you haven't been then go! I loved the Rasta Pasta and the cheesy garlic bread to share!”

“Had the prawn yakisoba noodles, it was absolutely delicious, staff are very friendly, will definitely return”
