Not only were the waiting and catering staff considerate enough to specifically ask about how spicy we wanted our food but they also adhered to my requests about how long to wait in between serving starters and main dishes.

“Myself and my partner took my parents here on Saturday night when they had come up to visit. It was a fairly last minute booking so the only time available was 8.30pm but it was so worth it. We arrived a little early and it was very busy! There was a large group leaving and there were another large group sat down at the table. We were told we could wait at the bar and order a drink. The man at the bar was lovely, though clearly very busy dealing with drinks orders for tables as well as the 6 people standing at the bar, but we were happy to wait. By the time our drinks orders were done a table was ready and we were taken to be seated. Every member of staff was a delight in there. And the food? AMAZING. As we finished up our meal the chef came out to ask how our meal was. What a lovely guy! We had a little chat with him before leaving. As we left and got in a cab the chef came running out with my dad's phone and glasses he left at the table. Can't wait to go back. So glad we booked here.”

“The food surpassed our expectations and the staff were helpful and attentive. The seafood platter was the standout dish for us - definitely worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere too.”

“We brought our friends here who were visiting from Birmingham and everyone was swept away with the quality and authenticity of the food. The service staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. This was our second visit here in the last month and the food is always amazing, top quality and makes you feel like your visiting India. Great for any occasion and always really good value for money. We won't be going anywhere else for Indian food in Trafford!”

“We went for the first time on Saturday night..... Frenjabi is so good that we booked for NYE there and then, the food is incredible and no hesitation in recommending you all go. NYE has an amazing menu and 1st class entertainment planned.”

“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!”

“We were in the area and booked last minute for Sunday lunch. We were recieved with a warm welcome, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The Sunday menu has a fabulous options from a variety cuisines. The food was excellent, a 10/10 per course. I will definitely return. Thank you.”

“Hidden gem, Great ambience, extremely friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure that the customer is happy. Amazingly scrumptious food!! Authentic Indian flavours with richness of spices. Would highly recommend . ♥️♥️♥️. Can’t wait to return.”

“Great place to share lovely food and fantastic service. Choose from a large selection on the "set menu", something for everyone. Second time there but it is quickly becoming our go-to curry house. Thank you.”

“Visited tonight my wife and I really enjoyed our valentines Starters cold palet & hot palet, then sea bass & Lamb , both delicious + a bottle of white wine all for £82. Fantastic, will return very soon when my brother arrives from Chicago. Many Mant thanks to all the staff for the service and lovely food. C U Soon. THE Bostocks.”

“Absolutely gorgeous and mouth watering, every piece of the meat had its special taste, i usually dont like meats but i fell in love with them instantly, sirloin was very soft and juicy and literally melting in my mouth, lamb chops itself full of flavour, and chicken steak as you would think this would get dry but it was very juicy and soft, i would definitely recommend this place as everything was made right infront of me , very fresh and tasty, its a very new business so definitely give it a try,”

“Had a veggie brekky, was top notch. Served with hot filtered coffee straight away and the breakfast was nice and fresh. Offered condiments and ongoing customer service while eating. Pictures of meal below cost me £4.50 including my tea/coffee. Staff, food and environment were good. Defo recommend. My second review, come here regularly now.”

“Great, authentic Ethiopian restaurant within easy walking distance of town and Piccadilly and Oxford Rd stations. The restaurant is up the spiral staircase which appears you enter Istanbul Kebab shop! Several Ethiopian couples were eating when we entered - which was encouraging. We ordered lamb tibs, and misir what with injera. Food was good portion size - we couldn't finish it - and tasted great. The waiter and staff were smiling and super friendly and helpful. The bill was very reasonable - recommended - will return.”

“Oh, the lovely food! This is a brilliant true Middle Eastern experience. One where the don't push tons of cumin to be considered middle Eastern. Fresh ingredients with heart warming flavours and cooked over charcoal grill. Our second time here, it is just a delicassy!”

“The food was out of this world! Lived beyond the expectations. Quick service and polite staff.”

“As ever with Hawksmoor, fabulous steak. This experience was really great to us thanks to Benedicts amazing service. Knowledgeable about anything on the menu and a pleasure to be served by. Always order the sticky toffee pudding. Trust me.”

“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).”
