Top 30 Best Meals out for one in Manchester

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Had a lovely meal in a nice environment with friendly staff serving.”

“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!”

“First visit and loved it so much. Got the full English and the portion was so huge, had to take the rest home. Lovely staff and gorgeous back garden where we ate. Will be back again soon!”

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing cocktail bar. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, I even asked for a cocktail not on the list and they made it. I cannot recommend this bar enough. Plus really good music, and a fantastic live singer on the Sunday night. If you're in the area go to this bar.”

“It was a great experience with my colleagues for a birthday. We didn't eat, but we heard a lot about how delicious their food. We will try ASAP. Thanks everyone for serving on that night. We highly recommend their cocktails. We will be back soon.”

“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!”

“Ok guys you need to check this, it is a restaurant that has food on the go and yeah, the excellent communication with staff is really helpful to order the food. First, excellent communication to ordering the spaghetti carbonara does taste so good and yeah the sauce is creamy The word for metres is really in flavour the spaghetti is cooked the sauce is creamy and also the bacon is really crispy. Then at the end,We order some dessert that is the chocolate fondant that taste so good that the chocolate is really good and yeah, it’s like those Lava cakes I tasted in Hong Kong. The decoration on the dish and, I mean all dishes is amazing. Really enjoyed and you must also. And about the restaurant, the atmosphere and the lighting is amazing and even the stairs are lighted per step. They give out candles at night because it was late or dark enough outside to low the brightness on lights and use the candles. They also have this bar and I mean multiple bars that is literally a wine garden or heaven or whatever but also, the thing I’m looking for in most restaurants are clean toilets and yes, the toilets are clean. You gotta try it out I recommend it very very much.”

“Food is delicious and so are the smoothies, staff really friendly and paciente, went for a late sunday dinner with husband, we didn't get rushed at all by staff, everything 5 stars, great decor and will for sure be coming back many more times. Not as expensive as other places, good value for money paid. Pity other restaurants don't treat you with this kindness.”

“Love this bowling alley, always got good offers for drink and bowl deals (think we paid £13 for two games and two drinks). Plus the arcade is decent and not too expensive either. Good central location too as it's right next to the tram stop, Shudehill bus terminus and Manchester Victoria station.”

“I do not leave reviews very often but I have to for this one. We came for a Christmas Eve meal in a beautiful setting. From the food all the way down to the service, they go above and beyond to make you have the best experience. Food is bursting with flavour and filling. Had some of the best service I’ve ever experienced here, staff are kind, friendly and fantastic with the children. I cannot fault anything with this restaurant at all. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon!”

“An ideal place to go with teenage children for a birthday meal. There is plenty to choose from on the menu and the food is very good. I like being able to choose my own sauce from the side counter and to top up on soft drinks. We all enjoyed it and the food was reasonably priced. We will definitely be going back.”

“As always brilliant service from the staff..food was served quickly..it was cooked to perfection. Tried one of the burgers it was delicious..garlic bread was slightly hard but fries was excellent.. chicken was tender and flavorful. This is usually not too busy at lunch time so it is our one of the favourite places to go to .”

“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!”

“Visiting from Edinburgh, I decided to try out your club. It wasn’t usually my particular scene, but soo glad I did come in. I enjoyed it so much I returned a second night. I would like to really say that the venue is not only immaculate, the staff were very friendly also. Making us really welcome. I really wanted to mention your door steward. One girl who was on the door that night is an asset to your club. Not only did she keep the club safe, her observation is incredible. She spotted two male individuals that were about to be a serious problem and she spotted it well before it escalated. One particular male was very threatening toward my girlfriend who I was there with. Your steward removed him before it got me into a difficult situation. I understand it’s not easy to stop the problem at the door, but she did an impeccable job. Many thanks for allowing us access and we will re visit again.”

“Came as part of a hen party on a Friday night, the cabaret and music in between were both great. None of our party of 10 had been before but we would all go again. Drinks package was great. Two minor things were, with where we were located it was hard for us all to watch our drinks when other people came around and started using our tables (the two big wooden tables near the stage) one table would have been suitable for us all if they were separated. Also some of the party ordered food and it didn't arrive. Even so we all still had a great night.”

“Stayed overnight to see Peter Kay. Lovely hotel, large room with a very comfy bed. Huge television. Couldn't beat the price either. Didn't use the pub/restaurant but it looked great and lively. Amazing location and easy to get to from the train station. Will definitely stay again.”

“The foods always spot on. I order every weekend and it’s here straight away. Even wanted a small order and they came and delivered it without no delivery charges. They are the best, very happy customer.”

“My sister and I visited here before a show. She had a voucher from work that she wanted to use that allowed us to order from a set menu. The food was great, apart from the aranchini balls (they seemed a bit greasy). The service was also really good. The only bad thing was we were told at the end that we couldn't give a tip on our cards but we didn't have cash since noone (including them) is accepting cash anymore. We felt a bit bad but we were going to a theatre show and wouldn't have had time to go to a cash machine and come back. Definitely would go back here in the future.”

“We had booked online but it wasn't busy (6.30pm) and the welcome was very warm. The service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious.”

“Pizza was amazing! Fresh, hot delicious, crispy base.. will definitely be back 5 stars”

“Super peri peri Chicken restaurant in Manchester. I have had meals in this Nando's in Pars Wood several times. Never ever disappointed. Humus with peri peri spice is excellent. Grilled Halloumi fantastic. Staff is friendly. Nice ambiance. Quick turn around time. Sauces are amazing. Love the garlic peri peri medium. Even burgers are quite nice. Can be busy at times. Highly recommended.”
