Special occasion dining in Bury

“Absolutely amazing!!!! Food was piping hot and delicious! Great service when we collected. Duck gyozas would have gone down a treat too so maybe something to look into for the future!”

“Thank you for such a lovely evening last week. Has to be one of the best Italian pizzas I have had in a while. All fresh and authentic. Also had some tasty tiger prawns to start. My partner had the Salmon which I tried too, very good. Hats off to the chef! Thanks to the waitress Gabi who made some good recommendations, as I was a bit stuck for choice!”

“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.”

“Great food from a talented chef I've tried the Benny's burger and enjoyed every bit of it! Highly recommended”

“Very good pizza, one of the best I've had. They had some beers on draft, which were tasty and reasonably priced, but not listed on the drinks menu, so its worth asking when you go. Friendly service and cool interior.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Had taken a few years sabatical from the Shethu but decided to retry last night. Have to say it was delicious. The sauces here have alway been fantastic and last night didn't disappoint. We had popadoms, onion bhaji, chicken tikka korma, lamb rogan josh, lamb dansak and tandoori chicken with rice and chapati. Price was excellent too. I'll be back very soon. Well done guys.”

“Very much well above average Chinese takeaway. Really good quality and care in the cooking. Far better that it’s predecessor which was in the same spot. Better than a lot of the restaurants in China town.”

“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.”

“Eaten here a few times over the years and they are consistently great with their customer service and the quality of the food.”

“Had a fantastic meal here, service is very good and the menu is extensive. Really enjoyed our visit and won't hesitate to return.”

“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!).”

“I really loved the feel of the place. Arrived at 8.30 on a Friday. My fave cocktail wasn't in the list. The staff had no issue fixing this and getting me what I wanted to drink. Love this liitle beauty. Fantastic staff x”

“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!”

“Lunchtime and early evening menu excellent value.Superb food n vibe Dan n Mo look after me well”

“Qayum the great is the master chef here.. very tasty food. Highly recommend”

“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!”

“Group of 7 (1 youngster) Good service, good food. We had Mains of sea bass, ribs, lasagne, pasta, child's pizza came with colouring book and crayons all good. Very happy!”

“The Ruposhi is our favourite Indian restaurant in Bury. The food and drinks are good I am booked taking 17 in a few weeks for our family Christmas gathering. Last I booked and took nearly 30 and the Ruposhi seated us all together with no worries .”

“Fast, good, staff very friendly. The brownies were a hit. To note, they are cash only.”

“First time visiting and we weren't disappointed at all. We at half chicken and the hunters chicken from the special menu. Both Freshly prepared and looked stunning. We enjoyed every mouthful. We finished our meal with a homemade rocky road cake to share portions are great we would recommend to anyone”

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

“Excellent place to eat. Ordered the donner and chicken mix in naan, was very delicious! So big I could barely finish it! Well worth the price! Value for money! Will definitely return for more. Edit: did return for more and this time got the chicken karahi and lamb karahi curries after the owner recommended it. The curries were absolutely amazing! Recommended 10/10”
