Dining out with friends in Bury

“Thank you for such a lovely evening last week. Has to be one of the best Italian pizzas I have had in a while. All fresh and authentic. Also had some tasty tiger prawns to start. My partner had the Salmon which I tried too, very good. Hats off to the chef! Thanks to the waitress Gabi who made some good recommendations, as I was a bit stuck for choice!”

“Amazing staff, incredible food, incredibly helpful. Healthy food better than other Chineses. Digests easier. Lower sodium and msg than any othe Chinese in the area. Boxes are unfoldable so no clean up required. Massive portions. Even a lunch time discount and free drinks on promotion. Always accommodating even neat closing time and helpful suggesting other ways to order just in case the shop front closes before customers can complete their order. 11/10 stop using other takeaways.”

“Brilliant Indian food - succulent tandoor meats, balanced and punchy curries, breads were on point, generous portions, and booze is amazing value. Coming from someone who lives on Brick Lane, Bury is lucky to have this place!”

“Excellent service and food. Some more unusual dishes are available and all at very reasonable prices. Definitely returning soon.”

“It's nice coming for a treat now and then with my daughter and when we do we are always happy with the food and friendly service x”

“Had a meal, it was busy but we didn't have to wait long at all. The food was absolutely beautiful, big portions, piping hot. We don't live in the area but we are already planning on coming for another meal. Brilliant.”

“Love this takeaway. Pizza is delicious. Kebabs are full of flavour, not many veggie options but never had any complaint about food. Always delicious. Accidentally ordered for collection but they happily delivered to us in less than half an hour.”

“My new favourite local takeaway, Franco's, never disappoints. From the pizza to the pasta dishes they are are always superb, great friendly staff and fast turn around on the orders. food is authentic with beautifully crips pizzas that arent over loaded.”

“Great food from a talented chef I've tried the Benny's burger and enjoyed every bit of it! Highly recommended”

“Very good pizza, one of the best I've had. They had some beers on draft, which were tasty and reasonably priced, but not listed on the drinks menu, so its worth asking when you go. Friendly service and cool interior.”

“Just want to say a massive thank you to the staff a burger joint. We had an issue a couple of weeks ago where the driver couldn’t find the address which meant our food arrived a little bit late and cold. However, really blown away with how they dealt with the issue. We reached out to them and they offered to send us free meals at a date and time of our choosing. As usual when we received the meals after they were delicious, on time and piping hot (as always) Thanks so much!!”

“Brilliant place, a restaurant where the owner and all members of staff really care about the customer. Personal touch is bring met at the door by the manager. Food is really very good. Decor is lovely. Highly recommended.”

“Went to Cotto to celebrate friend birthday, they made us really feel welcome since the moment of the arrival.Service was pleasant and really skilled.Whats more all the food were tasty and well presented from the starter to the dessert. Definitely will be back.”

“Delicious and fresh food! Chicken and lamb so tender and juicy. Also staff very welcoming. Loved it!”

“Very much well above average Chinese takeaway. Really good quality and care in the cooking. Far better that it’s predecessor which was in the same spot. Better than a lot of the restaurants in China town.”

“Best Chinese in Bolton! No matter how many times we buy meals from here, every meal is scrumptious! Just a shame they don't deliver! Best Chinese food and the people running it are lovely! Prices are excellent!Would highly recommend this place! Would give 10 stars if possible!”

“I youst to live in Bolton about 2 years ago now I live at the top of Cumbria 2 and a half hours away everytime I come to Bolton I have to go see Gill and the girls for a sandwich her cooking skills and customer service is amazing and never ever fails her food is amazing if you are ever lucky enough to go you will be Greeted with a big smile and a walm welcome (best cafe in bolton) thanks lady's.”

“first time going to this branch and it did not disappoint. Manager was really helpful as other half couldn't remember what he usually orders, drinks really hit the spot as it was so warm out. Food was amazing highly recommended and will definitely be back! Nice atmosphere and great staff.”

“Eaten here a few times over the years and they are consistently great with their customer service and the quality of the food.”

“The food was fantastic, service even better. Would definitely recommend for a nice relaxed lunch or dinner.”

“Had a fantastic meal here, service is very good and the menu is extensive. Really enjoyed our visit and won't hesitate to return.”

“I don't know why I travel all the way into Manchester City Centre when there are local places like this!! This place is a hidden gem! My friend ordered the potato kibbeh - these were small and delightful with a thin crusty texture on the outside and the mashed potato and lamb mince on the inside. I ordered the sucuk, thin slices of a spicy beef sausage - the flavours were strong and moreish. These were served with a basket of homemade white flatbread which were incredibly fresh and soft - they were pitta shaped but were fluffy and pillowy, not the hard dry white stuff you get in supermarkets! The waiter assured us that there was always plenty of bread available and sure enough we had another basket of lovely bread with our main courses. We both ordered the Chef's Mix which were skewers of charcoal grilled marinated meats - chicken, minced lamb and lamb shish pieces, served on a bed of onions and parsley and a chilli sauce.We also ordered a mudjadara rice between us as a side dish - a mix of lentils and rice cooked in spices and topped with crispy fried leeks. Yummy. We both agreed that although the flavour profile of the meats were quite similar to other nearby places (e.g. Turkish restaurants), the seasoning was better balanced here and most importantly, the cooking of the meat was excellent. Here, the chicken was succulent and tender, not dry and hard, and overall it looks like they know when to take it off the grill! At other places the charcoal grilling has left the meat hard and burnt at the edges with a bitterness - here everything was cooked just right. Although we were stuffed and were only considering an Arabic coffee, we both encouraged each other to go for a dessert. Unfortunately my friend's Halwa wasn't available so he joined me in a Muhallebia. Now normally I'm not one to bother with a dessert - I prefer crisps to chocolates and would rather have starter and main instead of main and dessert! And we were already incredibly stuffed! But this dessert blew my mind - a delicious milky pudding, not too dissimilar to a panna cotta but fluffier and less silky in texture. However, the flavours - wow the sweet vanilla with a tint of rose water, it was truly heaven and I haven't felt that way about any dessert for years! Garnished with chopped pistachios, this was for me the surprise star of the meal! Followed by strong and fragrant Arabic coffee, it was a fantastic end to a great dining experience. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, and I thought the decor, lighting and music was just perfect for the place. I highly recommend this place - it's small and relaxed and deserves attention. I hope it keeps these high standards up as I definitely want to come back and try the other offerings (and the Muhallebia again!).”

“I really loved the feel of the place. Arrived at 8.30 on a Friday. My fave cocktail wasn't in the list. The staff had no issue fixing this and getting me what I wanted to drink. Love this liitle beauty. Fantastic staff x”

“Lamb dish was tender and spicy and vegetarian dishes equally tasty. Piping hot when it arrived within 45 mins of ordering. We never buy takeouts tbh, but would order from here again.”

“Food was delicious, had the ribs to start well presented and the meat was really nice. Fillet stake with brollo sauce I had mine rare was cooked perfect. And order a garlic bread with cheese for the table that was delicious. Can't wait to go back.”

“Very nice meal and staff very accommodating. A really nice evening out!”

“Delicious food, extensive menu, portions generous, you can order smaller size for smaller appetites. My friends and I had main course and dessert, took a bottle of wine - no alcohol licence, just a small corkage charge. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great service - booked again for next week!”

“Lunchtime and early evening menu excellent value.Superb food n vibe Dan n Mo look after me well”

“Popped in here wh n shopping, got say the lamb curry was beautiful. Made the naan bread to order. Would go again”
