Casual meetings in Manchester

“Actual Italians own the place so your Italian meal is authentic. Good quality food and service”

“Fantastic food, excellent service. Will definitely be visiting again”

“A truly unique place that I chanced upon. Great coffee, the friendliest of welcomes and a pleasure to sit upstairs and watch the world go by. Thoroughly recommended.”

“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!”

“GREAT, They serve good food and also do a healthy option menu. So if you want really great food this is one place you must not miss.”

“We had our late launch here today. Foods were very tasty and the staffs were very friendly and nice. Basically this is a small restaurant in a Vietnamese shop (or maybe a shop in a restaurant?!). The place is a bit hard to notice, my partner have been here before, and he decided to take me here to try his top 1 Vietnamese spring roll today. - Crispy pork spring roll (3 rolls) As the name, it's really crispy! Texture was really good, and the flavor was just great! Spring rolls themselves were chunky, not like some places serve skinny ,tiny and greasy spring rolls. It came with 2 kind of dippings, one I think it's Vietnamese sweet chilli sauce, another one I assume it's Vietnamese white vinegar with some chill and something else inside, both dipping taste great! - Pork & prawn fried dumplings (4 pc) I was really impressed with the dumplings as they were not greasy at all! They taste light and fresh, you won't even feel guilty while eating them as they are deep fried. I now just realized, I think the sweet chilli sauce dipping was actually for dumpings I think? They taste amazing anyways!!! - Pho with slow cook beef I was impressed with this one as well, the broth was so fresh and light, not too salty not to plain. The beef was oh • my • god! probably was the most tender beef I've ever had in my life so far. They will also bring you one more long plate with bean sprouts, fresh mint, lemon, and chilli for you to add in your pho by choice. I personally added lemon, chilli and bean sprout. - BBQ pork banh mi The pork itself had really good grilled flavor, and it's tender. In between the bread it had some vinegar marinated carrot & raddish, coriander and chill. Also some homemade mayo maybe? Overall it had good flavor and the ingredients were great combination! Overall it's a great place, great flavor, and reasonable price with good portion of foods. I'd love to visit again in the future, very tasty!”

“Amazing restaurant, food was hot and tasted Amazing!! best Mexican resturants ive ever been to. Staff were friendly and attentive with an amazing cocktail menu would highly recommend. Update cause I can't figure out how to make a new review just been for bottomless brunch absolutely amazing!!!!!! Cocktails flowing food amazing and atmosphere on point can't love this place any more!!! Didn't take a pic of food because I'd ate it it was that good i ate it all before i relised!”

“Best Chinese I’ve had in a bloody long time!!!!! Salt and pepper chips are beautiful and over not seasoned! Frozen food are good and tasty but their fresh wok made food is beautiful. Got a dry chicken chow mein spicy and it was so goooood. The staff are so friendly and have good customer service. You’ve got to try here!!!!”

“Sarah & Becky - amazing duo (on the right side of bonkers). A fantastic shopping experience - you can try on the whole shop and they will give honest advice. Individual items so you’ll be safe knowing that it’s unlikely someone else will be wearing the same outfit as you.”

“I love Steranko. The clothing is top quality. I often walk past and think I'd quite happily replace my entire wardrobe with clothing from the shop. There are amazing shoes, bags and jewellery as well. Favourite item of the year- quality electric blue jeans. Service is always nice as well...every customer is special:-)”

“Great little independent shop with a good catalogue of clothing and friendly staff”

“Got some mens T shirts a while ago they still look brand new after been worn many times. Staff were very helpful and the designs and styles available at spectrum are always stunning.”

“What a joy to step into (excuse the pun) such a great shoe shop. Marvellous customer service. Danny and his whole family work together to make it a pleasant experience. The range of shoes is great. I have to have comfortable fitting shoes and I've found a gem of a shoe shop that supplies such high quality, comfortable fitting shoes. More importantly wider fitting ones too! In the past I've walked long distance and endured the pain but with Allens footwear I'm now able to to walk long distance in amazing pain-free comfort. You can't go wrong with such a fantastic choice.”

“I was looking for some gardening tools in the area and I got hungry, looked around and could not find anything that would satisfy me, and my wife as well, we actually passed this place once as well, until we decided we want to try the food here, I ordered these nice hummus bites made with sourdough bread, the cheese softness and the vegetable crunch was spot on, and after that I had the cous-cous salad with hummus, I can guarantee every single ingredient was freshly added in the salad as I could hear the man over the counter chopping up vegetables, I am mainly a carnivore, but this salad had every single taste that you can think of, slightly sweet and sour from pickled beetroot and pickles, nice crunch and freshness from the vegetables, very tasty cous cous, all that dipped in this very nice hummus, which I think is also made there(would not be surprised), as I was sipping from my decaf coffee, which was tasting very much like actual coffee, even the smell was there, we ordered this very nice pie, that was like eating creamy clouds that would melt in your mouth and make you wish you had more! A brilliant hidden gem, I recommend it with all my heart, if you are passing through or if you are local, if you want to take your special other out for a treat this is the place to go!❤️”

“Very lovely staff and service, always felt very welcome. Exquisite hot chocolate and sweets! Plenty of choice for lunch and snacks, homemade goods in all departments and always tidy and clean. Love the location too, and love the events that they host, only been to a couple so far and looking forward to attending more in the future. Overall superb and welcoming :)”

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

“We dropped in for lunch today and were not disappointed. The decor is welcoming and tasteful, the service friendly and cheerful and the food delicious! The menu was great and the drinks choice was plentiful. I loved the fact that you could have a half sandwich along with a bowl of delicious homemade soup, and my husband totally enjoyed his homemade cheese and onion pie. This place is definitely worth a visit.”

“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.”

“Kevin was very welcoming and kind. Joseph delivered a high level service, he is great, courteous, a great professional. The food was great. I recommended”

“Had breakfast and drinks. Would definitely go again, lots of tables and large open space and staff attentive.”

“Head and shoulders above the rest on par with Michelin star”

“Hot spicy and delicious curry. Had the lamb curry and the meat is soft and tender. My go to curry whenever I'm in Manchester.”

“Really enjoyed the food great menu selection , very good service would definitely recommend.”

“Super nice fried noodles Super tasty milkshake Super yummy spring rolls”

“Don't buy from designer shops normally so was apprehensive when I went in to spend a voucher I had received as a Christmas present. I needn't have been, what helpful and pleasant staff.p”

“Excellent service and lovely people would highly recommend popping in if passing also have had the pasta box quite a few times for my dinner and always more than I can eat”

“Great little coffee shop. Nice selection of, home made, sandwiches and cake, to go with the excellent coffee. Definitely be returning there.”

“A fantastic place to meet with like minded people and enjoy doing the things that we all enjoy”

“Manchester on a Sunday Morning for Bruch was a lot busier than we thought. Luckily we got a table at Idle Hands. I'm super glad we did. Lovely atmosphere. We ordered and shared: Meaty Hash Brown Stack and Divorced Eggs. Both tasted fantastic. Food came quickly and was presented like a work of art. It was so good, I really can't recommend it enough. I ordered one of their famous pies and can tell why. I got the Banana Milk Pie and it was so light and creamy. Top marks.”

“Had a good night enjoyed the rock and roll night plus the bar staff were very friendly.”
