Warm ambiance restaurants in Wilmslow

“I come here all the time and it’s absolutely unreal. Everything I’ve had is brilliant. The 2 aubergine dishes are some of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten… The potato salad is great… The quality of their grilled meats is amazing and the bread is delicious. A must visit!”

“We visited Jafra last week after walking past it several times. Menu is easy with many options. We had the 5-item Mezze which came with warm bread. This was amazing as a starter and we kept this as a side whilst having mains. For main, we had the Mixed Grill- nice and tender meat. We also tried Manakeesh which is a Palestinian bakery item. We haven't tried anything similar before, taste was a bit overpowering but it was a new experience nevertheless. The atmosphere inside was great, expect local Palestinian music. Service was great start to finish. Food didn't take long to arrive. I would highly recommend Jafra, and I'd go back again.”

“Jul 22 We had an excellent meal here with authentic tasting spicy food. Khan, who we met years ago, made us very welcome. The restaurant is recently refurbished and frequented by local families. We will return next time we are in the area.”

“The food is always good quality, it seems to have become a little bit more expensive than our last visit. £15 a Tandoori Mixed grill, mains around £13 with rice extra. The staff were helpful and attentive and alcohol prices reasonable for a restaurant. Top marks for getting the No Fresh Coriander right and for pointing out that one of the relishes had coriander leaves in it. Prices still the same, so relatively cheaper! Still the same quality and friendly staff.”

“friends and i came here a few times and we always loved the food, they're so comforting :) the noodle dishes are on point! the kuih ketayap (green rolls w coconut filling) is a must-try if you're visiting the restaurant.”

“Went there with my family, staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was very nice and fresh, we had platter for 2 with lamb neck added and it was delicious. Even my little one ate it. Defo recommend!!!”

“I don't go very often to Hoopers, I was meeting a friend and we decided to go for lunch. I had a chicken wrap which I was told was new on the menu. It was delicious, would definitely recommend. The staff was very friendly and helpful”

“Great wee place. Normally went there on a Saturday afternoon if not working. Good friendly bunch of patrons. Excellent service from Angela Falkirks best barmaid.”

“Simply the best place in Manchester for a kebab (or mixed grill) and naan. 10/10. The food is delicious. Free soup (with nice spices) and truly unlimited Kurdish tea. The service is exquisite. The restaurant is busy, spacious and they really look after you when it comes to going above and beyond, e.g. birthday celebrations etc. Great facilities. A diamond in the rough. There is another Kurdish restaurant on this street that needs to take lessons from Slemani. The other restaurant took 1 hour+ for service, indeed the service was non-existent. The soup was cold at the other restaurant. The tea didn't arrive. Facilities were dated. The whole experience was sub-optimal.”

“I’m Gna give the stars. Mainly for the service. The food was good. Not like wow factor but tasty and good. For the money..... it’s very good value. The staff are really good. Like really really good! I asked an opinion on a dish the chap servicing me was quiet a big guy. Kept calling me brother and called my wife sister which was really nice of him ..... the guy got the dish out from the kitchen ! Just to show me ! That’s some serious stuff. Really kind. Really cold glass of water. We ordered half chicken and a Parmeasan dish too. I will always go back. I go there a lot but never left a review. But as for my last visit. This is needed.”

“The quality and freshness is on point. The food is always fresh and tasty. Their chicken tikkah and Sheekh Kebabs are the best in Manchester Wilmslow road. The sitting area is very comfortable and suitable for big families as well.”

“I've been twice in the last 2 weeks for Friday lunch driving from Salford. It's worth the drive (50min)round trip. Great food with plenty of choice and lovely people working there.”

“Amazing food. I had the chicken and chorizo club sandwich and it was incredbile. Can't thank the girls at Coopers Cafe enough and the lemon drizzle was one of the best cakes I've ever had. Recommmed to anyone looking for a good workplace eatery in the area!”

“Excellent coffee and pastries. Attentive and friendly staff.”

“Very good food. Great service. I will definitely come back whenever I am in Manchester.”

“Amazing food & host. Very welcoming and the food makes nandos seem cheap. Outstanding! Modest pricing with a great selection of drinks. Will be visiting again very soon. Thank you Kalo's”

“What a delicious coffee and wonderful welcome at Lulu's how did I not know they were here. Great veggie(vegan) stuff, lots of yummy foodie things to buy and a fab atmosphere..I will be back!”

“Beautiful Cafe and Shop all run by a friendly happy group of volunteers. It's always a pleasure to visit and the breakfast barm cakes are delicious”

“This place was recommended to me by my client as I was over from ireland on work. First time ever having Palestinian food. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I was welcomed warmly by the waitresses and the lady took time to explain the dishes to me and recommend one. The food was absolutely heavenly I have never tasted flavours like that which complimented each other so well. The humous was silky smooth with subtle hints of spice and garlic through it. The bread it was served with was warm which was an excellent touch to the dish. I ordered the Chicken dish and it was succulent tender and the meat fell off the bone. I cannot recommend this place highly enough or explain the flavours in a way that will do it justice you have to try it to understand”

“Popped in here yesterday, Saturday. Busy. I chose the veggie pizza with my favourite veg, aubergene. It was, ABSOLUTELY SUPERB, CRISP AND DELICIOUS. THE NICEST PIZZA EVER tasted in my life, and I'm 56! Recommend to book. Staff really really friendly n nice.”

“Had breakfast at The Cow Café on a cold and rainy January morning, this place has a real authentic local café feeling, the staff are warm and welcoming and the food is superb. Kelly, one of the waiting staff made a superb cappuccino, one of the nicest I've had! Would definitely recommend calling into The Cow Café if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed. Full 5 Star Excellence.”

“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!”

“Took my Mum for a special treat as she lives around the corner and hasn't been before. Athena and her team made us feel so welcome and the food was incredible. Shots here of delicious main meals, lobster ravioli with prawns and the seafood paella. Highly recommended!”

“We dropped by here for lunch arriving at 12 noon. Already this venue was popular but had plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. There were plenty of staff who were friendly knowledgable and created a good atmosphere. A real highlight from the kitchen was the Gluten Free Menu. It was extensive and included a gluten free version of the majority of the main menu. In addition to the GF menu there was a vegan menu and they also catered for those avoiding specific allergens. An excellent GF beer was also available. It was a real pleasure to eat & drink here and we will be visiting again soon.”

“Had a few orders from here now. Always beautifully prepared, stone fire cooked pizzas and they have a twist on the dough balls to what looks like a square pizza and then you take a closer look and its Nutella and biscoff wrapped in dough and cooked throughout. Absolutely gorgeous. Such lovely staff.”

“3 months ago We always have fun here. Share some good food with good friends and families The staff are great. Always smiling and accommodating”

“The food is amazing. The restaurant is simple and no fuss. Traditional Turkish delight and sweet pastry for dessert was amazing. 100% recommended”

“Food was 1st class, service was great. Paris, Hossain and Tariq made sure we were well looked after. Definitely worth a visit. We'll all be back again”
