Top 30 Best Casual dining out in Manchester

“I was going to start my review by saying that Casa Di Pizza gets better and better, but really it just continues to be simply excellent. Wonderful food accompanied by warm, welcoming and friendly service. Couldn't ask more from Natasha, Alex and Dimitri.”

“Having visited twice this week I can highly recommend. If you are looking for a restaurant in Poynton look no further.. Fabulous decor, inviting, incredible service and delicious food! I no longer need to drive for truffle chips and will certainly be my new go to for dining with family, friends and clients.”

“First (and won't be last!) visit to Punto today. Lovely clean, modern takeaway with friendly staff. Food was 5*. We ordered the meal deal (pizzas, kebab, chips, drinks) and the portion sizes were really generous and the quality was amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Have been meaning to try Domingo for so long and tonight we decided to order. It did not disappoint, absolutely stunning. Will definitely order again.”

“Amazing new takeaway place! Definitely a must! We had a few different items off the menu but my favourite was chicken loaded chips. They were to die for! Highly recommend”

“Just literally finished the food and was absolutely spot on. Burgers were soooooo nice and everything else on top was amazing. We had an issue with missing items on delivery as the driver didn’t drop it off and they soon got us a replacement ready and treated us to some ice cream for the issue. Met the guys, absolutely lovely people and happy to help. Thanks guys will be definitely back there soon!”

“Lovely place with friendly staffs. Wonderful place, will come back for sure.”

“Lovelybrestaurabt with great staff. Felt very well looked after and spoilt by their respectful friendliness. Great Great food. Amazing prawn starter and risotto. Tiramisu wasn't my favorite dessert as I felt there was too much sponge, but sticky toffee pudding was very nice.”

“Really nice setting. Good coffee. Food really nice and tasty. Cakes looked great. Definately will return.”

“Absolutely delicious food, all freshly cooked. Very reasonably priced. Can't wait to come back!”

“Went on the second night they’d opened, and they had a bit of a shaky start. The bar staff accidentally put the wrong food order through, we were happy to eat what we were given, but they really pulled it out of the bag when they came over with a portion of their hoi sun duck and chips. Food was amazing, and it’s always good bashing out a couple of super Mario world levels while you wait.”

“Having lived in Vietnam for several years and experienced the expat scene there where chefs from all around the world have opened award winning pizza restaurants, I come back to Marple to visit this place and realise it is better than them all! Outstanding pizza! I would especially recommend 'The Sizzler'.”

“Birthday treat what a lovely welcome great menu so much choice .. the garlic mushrooms ..wow great olives .. ribs humus, prawns calamari all yummy and birthday cake... well cheesecake ..which is even better 1st but not last visit”

“Never been here before but its reputation precedes it and we weren't disappointed. The menu was extensive with plenty of mouth watering dishes to enjoy. The waiters were friendly and efficient. Although the place was packed, we didn't feel pressured to finish up. When the bill arrived we couldn't believe how reasonable it was - and that just topped off the evening nicely. A++”

“I don't think they deliver, but it's worth collecting from as it's a very friendly, welcoming, nice place. I've ordered for pick up quite afew times and the food's ready not long after I arrive. This is a top Indian restaurant, I always order knowing the food will be top quality because they never let us down. It's always clean, it can get very busy during the bank holidays. There is parking at the back of Sainsbury's.”

“Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. A great range of beer and its own brewery beers too make for a fantastic village pub.”

“Lovely restaurant- really well prepared, thoughtfully cooked food. I’ve been twice now in August 2022, the quality is consistent - really nice taste to everything. Just a little pricey (it is Hale I suppose).”

“Sam's is always spot on great food, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend”

“We were there to celebrate our daughter's 40th birthday. The food is lovely and fresh. Great staff who served us. Will definitely be visiting there again Thank you so much!”

“Is it the pasta or the sauce? Set aside any fears of school dinner Mac and cheese, Sugo is on a different level altogether. Having lucked out on getting a table after 2 years of living nearby, I relished the chance to review them. The space is warm but snug. Large parties will struggle especially with COVID restrictions. Not an issue in summer, but a possible one in Winter. They’re dog friendly as they have some seating outside, so please specify this when booking. Onto the primi piatti! Expect luscious pasta cooked to the correct side of al dente. It seems to inhale the sauces that make use of the starch and premium stock in lieu of cream. All making for a far more palatable meal. And the sauce. The term does not do the flavours and texture justice. The melange of spices and components be they vegetarian or not, are sublime. Just a taste of the seafood pasta alone conveyed everything in one bite. Not to be outdone, their beverage selection is nothing short of brilliant. The chinotto brought back fond memories of Kinni cola. Sadly I did not have time to partake of dolce but will endeavour to do so next time.”

“We recently engaged the services of Spice & Spirits for our community Diwali party. The team catered for over 360 people on the night and we are pleased to say that the feedback from our members was extremely complimentary. The food, many choices for both veg and non veg dishes and the buffet stations were professionally manned at all times. Minor issues prior to the event were professionally handled by Bhavesh. A stress free experience on the night and anyone looking to cater for a large party should seriously consider the services of Spice & Spirits. We would certainly consider them again. Thank you for your service. President, New LPS Bolton.”

“This place is THE go to place for great food. Staff are superb and really pleasant. The kebabs are the best around without a doubt. The fish is battered and cooked just right. Overall it is a knock out take away. Highly recommend it.”

“The most succulent steak I have had for a very long time and the Crème Brûlée was too for for. The atmosphere and the ambience was worth the visit. Well done!!”

“Amazing authentic Halal Chinese in Manchester. We ordered a variety of dishes off the menu and each item was out of this world! All flavours were so unique and the dips - loved the HK sauce (which came with each dish) each complimented the flavours so well. We ordered the prawn and chicken dumplings steamed dumplings, the typhoon squid and veggie spring rolls to start and was pleasantly surprised with how hot and fresh each of the items were. This was followed by our Bao buns; Prawn and Chicken bao were absolutely scrumptious. We thought it couldn’t get any better and then came the star of the show… Lamb on Crack! Just WOW - melt in your mouth lamb with an amazing taste which makes them sooooo addictive - Now we understand why they’re called “Lamb on Crack”!!! Just truly blown away by the whole experience: food, service, prices and hospitality. Very generous owner who went above and beyond to satisfy its customers with a service with a smile and hot fresh food, all at a great price - this is an example of how a food business should be. We will be definitely be back soon! Thank you to Tofiq and his team for an amazing evening - P.S please open in Birmingham! Until then it’s so worth the drive up to Manchester. We have no doubt that your business will be successful- just keep doing what you’re doing! Bigger premises soon come InshaaAllah. *** Defo recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment **”

“Absolutely love this place. Never ever had a bad meal. Both the English food and the Chinese food are gorgeous. The service is good with quick delivery, best of all, the food is still piping hot when it comes. The staff are so friendly and always do their best to advise you. Can't recommend enough.”
