Top 30 Best Welcoming eatery in Manchester

“The best restaurant I’ve tried in Manchester so far! The atmosphere is buzzing and the staff are attentive and cheerful. The food is delicious with a fab range of texture and great flavour combinations (pushing the boat out while avoiding being unappetising). Recommend for meat lovers and veggies alike.”

“I have only visited this establishment the once. I was passing and needed a drink. But I also purchased some food. They do have a wide range of good quality products. Which the very friendly staff are more than willing to help and give advice about.”

“Amazing authentic Halal Chinese in Manchester. We ordered a variety of dishes off the menu and each item was out of this world! All flavours were so unique and the dips - loved the HK sauce (which came with each dish) each complimented the flavours so well. We ordered the prawn and chicken dumplings steamed dumplings, the typhoon squid and veggie spring rolls to start and was pleasantly surprised with how hot and fresh each of the items were. This was followed by our Bao buns; Prawn and Chicken bao were absolutely scrumptious. We thought it couldn’t get any better and then came the star of the show… Lamb on Crack! Just WOW - melt in your mouth lamb with an amazing taste which makes them sooooo addictive - Now we understand why they’re called “Lamb on Crack”!!! Just truly blown away by the whole experience: food, service, prices and hospitality. Very generous owner who went above and beyond to satisfy its customers with a service with a smile and hot fresh food, all at a great price - this is an example of how a food business should be. We will be definitely be back soon! Thank you to Tofiq and his team for an amazing evening - P.S please open in Birmingham! Until then it’s so worth the drive up to Manchester. We have no doubt that your business will be successful- just keep doing what you’re doing! Bigger premises soon come InshaaAllah. *** Defo recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment **”

Covid safe and staff were very helpful and friendly.”
