“Enjoy some Indian and Persian food at Ivory IndoPersian Hidden away on the edge of Stockport, Ivory IndoPersian provides a mixture of Indian and Persian food. Each type of cuisine has its own chef, so make sure you order off the menu that you prefer - don’t expect your asian spices on the Persian dishes. It was really busy when we visited, and at full capacity it may feel a little cramped. Don’t let that deter you from trying it out though. The Indian dishes were; \Pani Puri [£3.50] - This was spicy and yummy, with mashed potatoes inside. The tamarind sauce was really tasty \Ivory Indian Special [For 2 £30.00] - Big, juicy, crunchy prawns just the way we like it and with a proper tandoori taste. The meaty lamb chops were done exactly how you want it \Achari [£12.90] - This was such a good recommendation from one of the owners. Sweet yet spicy and filled with a mixture of spices - such a good lamb curry The Persian dishes were; \Mix Mezze [£7.50] - Included the cucumber yoghurt, a mixed salad, hummus and yoghurt. The cucumber yoghurt was refreshing, the yoghurt tasted like plain, greek yoghurt - think it was meant to be garlic and shallots but this didn’t come through. The indian naan bread that came with it was nice, but a Persian flatter bread would have been better \Ivory Persian Special [For 2 £37.00] - Same as the indian special, the lamb chops were pure meat! The chicken was juicy, the flat kebab a little dry and the other kobedas cooked nicely \Zereshk Polow & Chicken [£12.90] - A sweet taste, quite like rose and saffron providing that unusuality. A simple, unique dish that was really nice The sweetness for the end consisted of the list below. We were so full by this point that they gave us little tasters so we could see what they were like; \Gulab Jamun [£5] - Pure yum but imagine with a bit of ice cream, this would have been heavenly. The cardamom wasn’t overpowering at all, which was nice L\emon Cheesecake [£5.60] - A tangy, refreshing hit \Baklava [£7] - Pure sweet, syrupy baklava We’ll be back to try some more of the Persian goodies Recommended for: Curries, Indian, Persian Service: High Price: ££ Halal: Full Menu”

“A Chinese restaurant aimed at the Chinese community. It was pack in here today and people where getting turned away which isn't very Chinese. Had ho fun with beef in black bean sauce, morning glory and salt and pepper chicken wings. Really for 2 people. I thought it was very good. Just over £30. The kitchen had a jet engine to heat up the woks and that is how it should be.”

“First visit to the Horton Arms today and I wasn’t disappointed .Lovely, cosy pub- great menu with lots of choice and the food was delicious. What really struck me were the staff -every one of them were really pleasant, helpful and attentive. A gem of a place which I would wholeheartedly recommend.”

“This place serves one of the best Chinese foods in Manchester, in my opinion. I compared their Singapore Rice with another outlet in Salford and there was a vast difference. You can preorder here or order when you walk in (your choice). It's located at Plymouth Grove, it's close to a bus stop and easy to find on the map.”

“Very nice food and very clean and welcoming with a lovely traditional atmosphere and the staff are kind and have great customer service, I would definitely recommend.”

“Had some lovely food here in this local cafe, very popular with the community. Was most worthy, excellent value for money.”

“Startlingly simple yet strikingly sophisticated, La Bandera is there to stay. The menu, called up by that QR code in the picture, is just one example of a lack of clutter. The food is divine.”

“Food is consistently delicious, accommodate requests graciously, service is exceptional. Highly recommend.”

“Fantastic little spice house, great currys best selections”

“I’ve been here once or twice before. Booked for a table of 4 a week in advance, ourselves and friends really enjoyed the amazing food and value for money. One of the best Nepalese Restaurants around. Keep up the good work, धन्यवाद”

“I highly recommend Club Rasoi as the best Indian restaurant and bar in Manchester. With its delicious food, impressive drink selection, and exceptional service. The moment you walk in, you'll be impressed by the chic and modern decor, which sets the perfect tone for a sophisticated dining and drinking experience.”

“Love visiting here when in the area. Food is excellent and staff always very welcoming. Price is second to none with the 3 course meal offer. Keep up the good work!”

“Nice friendly pub staff very welcoming cosy place to be”
