Romantic dinner in Manchester

“A great little local restaurant serving amazing food. Staff were brilliant, attentive and chatty.”

“I don't know where u come from or how long u have been open for. I am not african but my husband is and he is very frustrated with sand in egusi and beef not being fried enough or plantain being burnt ....he even stopped eating..until tonight where our local restraunt was closed and just by chance an angel pointed us in your direction...we thaught nooo not another one but as soon as we opend our food we smelt freshness the plantain was like heaven the egusi yummy and u get enough meat with ur rice. U will soon be hearing from us again :)”

“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,”

“Honestly the best food in Manny. Not even a debate. Service is top class as well, the owner and chef are incredibly nice and friendly. I ordered Gaeng Massaman which was one of their recommendations and it was obviously much better than I expected. Will definitely come again.”

“I’ve tried most of the curry canteens in cheetham and northern quarter and real Taste is my go to. They offer a great varied selection of tasty curries with excellent freshly made breads. Also really good tandoori dishes. Prices are good to.”

“This was a random stop to try the pizza since I was in the area. Every Italian shall be judged by their Margherita pizza and they passed very well, wood fired pizza done in less than 5 minutes like the waiter claimed. Tasted very fresh and the size was 12" so good value for the money. The crust of the bread or dough was not so airy but didn't taste chewy either. See photos attached.”

“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”

“Wow. What a great find. Excellent food and v v friendly service. Great collection of dishes and decor is very classy. Shout ou lt to Adam. Ty so v much”

“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).”

“Sam's is always spot on great food, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend”

“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.”

“Excellent choice of tapas and drinks, and very easily identifiable on the menu what dishes can be catered for gluten free. I could eat several portions of the slow cooked lamb with Harissa, incredible flavour. Will definitely be back!”

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

“An excellent delicatessen and cafe in Whitefield; a really good selection of cheese, salami and other Italian goods. The staff are very friendly and welcoming too which is great to see - a proper local business.”

“What can I say. A little hiccup with the pizza. Purely accidental, it got squashed under other food. The restaurant was amazing. Very apologetic and replaced it in record time. The starters, brilliant the wife’s Pasta dish very tasty and finally my pizza. One of the best I have had in a long time. Everybody who wants a good Italian. Pepper’s is the place. Thankyou”

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

“Proper, delicious, real Italian food from really kind, heartwarming Italian guys!!! We ate here once, as otherwise we are basedin London, but when ever we will be back to Manchester, we will come back again!!! Love it, love it, love it!! Thank you so much!❤️”

“Food is great and for a very good price. Byriani portions are enormous, and everything is plated nicely. So far we loved everything and been there twice and ordered in once. Only thing that is missing is more people eating in, Mrs As deserves it!”

“Me and my family went here for a birthday tea off of a shining recommendation. Could not recommend more, the food was amazing, best jalfrezi I’ve ever had. The mixed starter was gorgeous. Could not have asked for a better server, Jax treated everyone single of us like royalty. Every thing was evenly priced and amazing portion sizes. Everything we needed was met instantly. Can not wait to go back, our new place! Could not reccomend this place more best Indian going!”

“As always Fantastic food. Great service and look forward to our next visit. Tnankyou”

“Great food and great value, been a few times now and never disappointed”

“Been here a few times now and it has been excellent every time. The food is delicious, some of the best veggie food I've ever had! Can even take meat eaters and they love it too. The staff are absolutely lovely and attentive but not overly so. When I brought my gran in a wheelchair one time they were so accommodating and nice. I recommend this place to everyone.”

“We were there to celebrate our daughter's 40th birthday. The food is lovely and fresh. Great staff who served us. Will definitely be visiting there again Thank you so much!”

“My partner and I had a wonderful evening at Borage. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and Veronika runs the dining room with warmth and efficiency. The food is superb with first class flavours and presentation accompanied by excellent wine. All of this at incredibly affordable prices makes it an experience not to be missed! Congratulations to the whole team!!”

“Is it the pasta or the sauce? Set aside any fears of school dinner Mac and cheese, Sugo is on a different level altogether. Having lucked out on getting a table after 2 years of living nearby, I relished the chance to review them. The space is warm but snug. Large parties will struggle especially with COVID restrictions. Not an issue in summer, but a possible one in Winter. They’re dog friendly as they have some seating outside, so please specify this when booking. Onto the primi piatti! Expect luscious pasta cooked to the correct side of al dente. It seems to inhale the sauces that make use of the starch and premium stock in lieu of cream. All making for a far more palatable meal. And the sauce. The term does not do the flavours and texture justice. The melange of spices and components be they vegetarian or not, are sublime. Just a taste of the seafood pasta alone conveyed everything in one bite. Not to be outdone, their beverage selection is nothing short of brilliant. The chinotto brought back fond memories of Kinni cola. Sadly I did not have time to partake of dolce but will endeavour to do so next time.”

“Chicken Tikka Masala is that sweet creamy orange you always look out for. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough - curry, naan and poppadoms always on point. Thanks guys”

“Today I went to Linguine for my best friends 21st birthday meal. There were 9 of us in total and the staff at the restaurant made sure to seat us on a large table with plenty of space. The table was very clean and set up lovely. The staff were very welcoming and friendly from the get go. The staff made sure that nobody was left without a drink and would regularly ask if we needed anything else. The waiting time for food was short and the food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The food portions were very generous and very good for the price! The staff also brought out a birthday cake and everyone sang happy birthday. It was a lovely meal for my friends birthday all thank you to the staff at the restaurant. They definitely made our evening. I will be returning:) Thank you so much for such a wonderful night.”

“Acapulco, Radcliffe Market Hall Menu simple but perfectly formed, staff friendly and helpful and food delicious. Get to Radcliffe Market Hall and see Rose do her Mexican thing on a Friday/ Saturday evening, you won't regret it :)”

“Great food. The back garden is lovely during the summer. They were very accommodating to my partners mother who is a fussy eater. Will 100% be going again.”

“Hi Yetti, As I sit here eating leftovers from last night, I just wanted to say a huge thank you once again for your service. Over 6 months since I first contacted you and at all times you were so professional and replied promptly. The food was amazing, I really loved the plantain bruschettas, suya and jollof rice especially. The portions!!!! My goodness, I ordered food for 15 and we could probably have fed 50! We were able to make sure all our guests had generous portions and plenty to take home for all of us. Lastly, the food came on time and even when it arrived slightly later than projected, I was politely informed. The personalised birthday card that came with it was also a nice touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to book you ten times over!”
