Chef created meals in Manchester

“Grounded in the North went down a storm at PlannerFest. There was lots of praise for the quality of the brews and cake! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”

“We went here on the second day. They have a very nice and simple menu of great traditional Mediterranean dishes. We tried a wide selection of starters, mains and desserts and they all deliver very high quality whilst being very well priced. The service is very friendly and it is a welcome and addition to the area, you will not be disappointed.”

“Excellent food and service is second to none. Very busy and parking can be difficult. Outside area where dogs allowed. Beer and wine available. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“Overwhelmingly positive experience. Got recommended a rare wine from Uruguay that was the best wine I’ve tried. The meat variety and quality is ridiculously good, the waiters keep coming to offer new cuts of meat with a span of minutes until you stop them, and trust me you will. I was there for 2 and a half hours and ate all I could, nobody rushed me and the service is 10/10. I would highly recommend this place either for a date, going out with friends or family. It’s great for any case. I’ll have to fast for a day after this, but worth it!”

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

“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.”

“Best Indian Takeaway in United Kingdom. Try before you buy (only joking) try and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended. Multiple delivery options available. Warm and friendly atmosphere.”

“The salt and pepper chicken is very spicy and hot, almost too much for me. But that's on me, should have guessed :D Portion are very generous. Definitely recommend!”

“This was my second visit, and this time I decided to try the Kinoko Ramen. Even though it only contained veggies, the broth was rich and scrumptious. The shiitake mushrooms and tomatoes were not just cooked in the soup but also marinated and grilled, which add intensity and complexity to the flavor. Overall, I have no regrets about coming back to this restaurant and I am already hyped to go again.”

“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.”

“We have stayed here a few times over the last couple of years and it is always a great experience. Clean, modern rooms and a good bar/restaurant. Perfect location for events at the AO Arena or if arriving via train into Manchester Victoria. Car parking is £15.00 for 24 hours (a five minute walk from the hotel). Lastly, the staff have always been friendly and professional. All in all it’s a great hotel in a great location for visiting central Manchester.”

“Amazing food, so much thought, work and care had gone into each course. The flavours were amazing and they clearly use only the best produce. Dietary requirements were catered for without any bother. One of the best meals I have ever had! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I honestly couldn't fault this restaurant , lovely ambience. I definitely recommend this place. Just go, you will not be disappointed! I can't wait to return!”

“Some of the best Shawarma if eaten, period, and very reasonably priced at that, costing now £3.50 for a chicken shawarma wrap. Best thing for me is the freshly cooked bread with every wrap! - makes it! Thought this place had closed down until recently, but it just moved from the the tiny adjacent shop to next door. Glad to know the Manchester staple is back. Great friendly service also. Highly recommend!”

“Booked a table for a get together with friends. The food was fantastic, great service and a lovely waitress! Many thanks and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended.”

“The best experience ever . Thanks to the best ever caterers from my Lahore glass marquee. Wedding took place on 8th January 2023 in blackburn. You won't be disappointed. The guests were wowed. Thanks to Bilal who executed it very well honestly couldn't thank you enough.”

“Their 3 in 1 meals are absolutely delicious. Instead of buying a full portion of rice, sweet and sour chicken and another extra, they have put them all in 1 meal sized box. Simply amazing!”

“Veeeeery good. We turned up without a booking and a 3yr old fookin nightmare. They were more than welcoming, taking care of the fookin nightmare with profiteroles from the off, then the wife and I enjoyed the best hot pots ever. Shame there isn't an option for 6 stars”

“friends and i came here a few times and we always loved the food, they're so comforting :) the noodle dishes are on point! the kuih ketayap (green rolls w coconut filling) is a must-try if you're visiting the restaurant.”

“Lovely Italian place around Arndale. Food was good, particularly enjoyed the calamari antipasti. The waiters are friendly and happy to make suggestions when asked.”

“If you want your fried chicken or donner fix as a veggie - this is the place to go. I've taken many meat eating friends and they love this too! Great portions, fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Go once and you'll keep going back!”

“Great location and friendly staff. Rooms were comfortable with windows which could be opened even if only a little bit. Desk available in the room. Hairdryer, iron and ironing board also available. Breakfast delicious with cooked options available to order.”

“I'd generally very busy. Better to make a reservation. Food is very tasty. Has a proper spicy taste. Good dining experience. Better to look at the pictures online and order on the app. Has NHS /blue light discount. Have to park outside selfridges to get here fastest.”

“Tbh this restaurant is one of the best environment in Manchester. The food was very tasty, especially I love how flavorful these dishes are with all the fresh meat and vegetables in it. If u wanna some really tasty food for eat, just feel free to ask staff for recommendations.”

“Very posh ambiance. Staff were friendly and accommodating. A little bit on the pricey side but it's worth every penny. Would come back again when i visit Manchester.”

“Thanks for making our Tesco Christmas party a fantastic night. The room looked fabulous and the staff went above and beyond to be accommodating.Big shout out to the kitchen staff for the delicious food and hard work too.”

“Fantastic customer service! Clare is out of this world. We had a lovely experience, comfy bed, everything nice and clean. Every member at reception from the moment we arrived have been amazing, we are definitely coming back, thank you so much for making our time with you special =)”

“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.”

“akasushi_mcr The latest newest sushi spot to open. Just on the outside of China town located in Blue Whale Supermarket Aka Sushi brings fresh quality sushi to MCR. Set in a simple setting, aka sushi dishes really do speak volume. With a small open kitchen and what seems like a huge menu everything is prepared there and then. We ordered: Sushi Set A (16 pieces) consisted of: 3 Salmon Sashimi, 3 Tuna Sashimi, 3 Salmon Nigiri, 3 Tuna Nigiri, 4 Salmon Roll & Seaweed Salad. Salmon Bento Box: Salmon Fillet, rice, chips, salmon sashimi, seaweed salad & baby leaf salad. The box usually comes with chicken too but it's not halal so we were allowed to swap it. Food was served quickly, presented nicely and was really good. Definitely a good sushi spot. Location: Unit 1, St James Tower, 7 Charlotte Street, Manchester, M1 4DZ Monday to Sunday 12-10pm”
