Homely dining experience in Bury

“I visited House of Brands and found the staff very helpful and friendly. I ended up buying a mattress from House of Brands which was top quality and was at a good price. I had been to 2 different bed shops before finally buying my mattress from House of Brands. I would highly recommend.”

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

“Went look for bathroom ideas, a member of staff was really helpful, I even got ideas for the Kitchen. We have renovated 3 of our properties over the last 30 years, and B & Q always had something new and innovative.”

“This is a fantastic Hotel, staff were friendly and accommodating. The rooms were big, comfortable beds and lovely en suites. It would have been nice to have had bottled water in the room along with the tea and coffee facilities. Everything you need for a nice over night stay”

“Very friendly staff. The ideal place to visit instead of wasting a day at IKEA. They have some really nice items. Well worth a visit.”

“One of my favourite places. The food is always cooked great and tastes AMAZING!!! Grilled rice box is my fave. Definitely recommend ✅✅✅”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Food from here is mega! The Steak melts in the mouth! Everything spot on. Highly reccomend, you won't be disappointed.”

“Went there with my 14-year-old son on the way to a football game as I’ve heard good things. The food was absolutely unbelievable and the service was amazing as well. Also I thought the cost was pretty good less than £30 for a three course meal in the portions were big as well. What more could you ask for? Regards Lee Gueller”

“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.”

“Great customer service! The food was fresh and delicious. The milkshakes were amazing. Highly recommended.”

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

“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!”

“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”

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

“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!).”

“We came in for dinner on a Tuesday. The weeknight evening set menu was a great deal with really fresh, tasty and authentic food in generous portion sizes. Service was also lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal - even had some leftovers to look forward to at lunch the next day! Highly recommended.”

“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!”

“Cheetham Star was closed for 19 months and finally its reopened. I really missed this place. Highly recommend their food, its usually delicious authentic middle eastern food, its fresh, especially the kobeda and chicken tikka on rice or naan. Really well made pizza's from here. Staff are friendly and the service is pretty quick, can eat inside or takeway. It can get busy at times. Really worth a visit. 5 stars!”

“Their basic chicken burger meal (spicy) was really good especially for the price!”

“The very best of Lebanese food is here in this restaurant we loved it and we will be coming back soon”

“Ordered a set meal for 3 last night came bang on time delicious hot food very impressed and will defo return.”

“Fantastic venue for a quiet breakfast, the food was very good along with the service, I'm definitely going to visit again”

“TLDR: Great food and atmosphere - Recommend! My wife and I visited for an impromptu date night. This is not our first visit and we knew what to expect. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, as expected. The staff were warm, friendly, and professional, as expected. We had garlic bread and olives as our starters, and Margarita Pizza and Pasta Bolognese as our main courses. Every dish was perfectly cooked and the portion sizes were very generous. We both left feeling very happy that we had enjoyed a fantastic meal in a lovely restaurant, and I have nothing else to say except stop reading, and go and eat. NOW!”

“Had a variety of different meals and it was very delicious. Very clean and staff is awesome. Thanks a lot.”

“The BEST Chinese I have had the pleasure to enjoy. Everything is delicious and lovely and friendly people.”
