Reviews in Manchester

Good food, shame about everything else.Disclaimer: This review is entirely regarding how we were treated on a works Christmas do. I cannot comment with regards to a small group, but as a large pre-booked group I can only describe our experience as appalling. Getting the positives out of the way, I can only say that the food was very good, however everything else about our evening was terrible. For £35 I would have expected a lot more on our respective plates,however for them to attempt to add on an extra £50 to the agreed bill because 3 of our group had a vegan option is out of order. The fee was agreed several months in advance and this was dropped on us after we had already eaten. Only when we complained to whom I assumed was a manager was this waived. Drinks in the place are extortionate. £110 for a bottle that'd cost you £30 or less in a supermarket. Post meal they attempted to move us to some kind of "VIP area" (via me because I am a manz and not the women who had actually arranged everything, but had the audacity to try and complain that they were trying to shaft us), because, hey other paying customers were more important or something, we politely told them that we were leaving.In short the food I cannot fault however meager the portions were; everything else I would avoid at all costs.

Went for lunch with my father and stepmother and it was a perfect afternoon. Service was perfect and food was exceptional. We all had the 3 course lunch menu and everything was perfection on a plate, the 3 cheese pie was exceptional and a must try! All in all a very enjoyable afternoon, perfect food and relaxing surroundings. Will be trying the evening selection soon!

I've been to a few Indian restaurant and curry houses in Didsbury and Chorlton and can honestly say That Tandoori Flame offered the best tasting food of the lot. I couldn't believe the quality of the food for the price. (it was actually fair) I think the Chef and front of house staff must have good hearts. couldn't recommend it enough. beautiful food.

Went in with a group party, food was the best tapas I have had and service was great.

Went for lunch here on saturday. We were greeted very warmly and even though the signage said they stopped serving lunch at 2pm we were accomodated with no fuss at all just after. The decor is very cosy and because the main dining area is downstairs we almost felt like it was evening. The food was very good, tasty and well portioned. We had home made pies for the main course, one was 3 cheese and onion and the other Chicken, leek and black pudding. Both were very good, warm filling and just the right size for lunch. The only slight criticism could be that we were often left alone in the dining room with no staff on hand for more drinks, to take dessert orders, or get the bill for us. It was very relaxed and in the evening this would have been great but for a lunchtime it was just a bit too relaxed as we had other things to do for the rest of the day. Overall this was a great experience and I would recommend everyone to try it out. The food was great and the welcome we received was second to none! I hope this place does well though as the owners were so nice!! Good luck Chris and Jenny!!

Quite possible the most unhelpful and unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. Not only do they not take payments on time and leave you in limbo but they do not offer refunds or any form of appeasement for guests who are unable to attend due to ill health. I bought a trip for my aunt who was taken ill with serious influenza and hospitalised the night before only to be told that "She didn't ring and there's nothing we can do!" This is quite possibly the most atrocious customer service I have ever come across! Avoid this company!

I ate there last night. They said that the two for one deal was not on in December so I had to pay the full price even though it's advertised on Sugarvine. Bit of a swizz. Also the food was not great - chips overcooked, fish over-battered ! I gather they have now been taken over by Holts so hopefully things will improve. It also smells of dogs.

After reading the reviews we thought we should try this restaurant while in Manchester doing the christmas markets. After wards wished we had chosen the Duck as the next table had, my sirloin steak ahd a definite 'liver' taste to it I am not really sure how that happend however the taste stayed with me all night!!!! The restaurant had a fab atmosphere, so we will give it another go when we come to town again.

I went to Avalanche on Wednesday and had seabass while my husband had steak. The food was great and the restaurant interior is light and bright and very beautiful. I will be booking here for Xmas and I would recommend it strongly!!!

I dined at the restaurant on the weekend and the food was fantastic. I had to wait 35 minutes for my starter,however the restaurant was packed and it was worth it.

An amazing restaurant and great food.

Love the concept of this restaurant. 2 choices, steak or Lobster. Both dishes are a very reasonable £15. I chose the lobster and had it grilled rather than steamed. Either dish comes wih fries and salad. I was particularly impressed that the waiters continually offered to replenish the fries and salad. Good selection of wines too. Service was professional as you would expect from a Radisson Edwardian. Even got to see Peter Andre in there!

The food was exquisite just like the other reviews said and as for customer service I couldn't fault it even if i tried. Even my son who is a fussy eater in the restaurant enjoyed their homemade Chicken Korma. I recommend people to try the mixture of chicken, peas, olives and pickles - YUMMY!!!!!

Very pleasant evening great music....nice friendly people.

I have been going to Karims for years and loved it so decided to choose it as the venue for my wedding (28/10/2012), I was promised good service by a waiter called Hayam, and good food, they did not come good on that deal. I was told to come after 5pm, I came at 7 and nothing was ready,the floors were dirty, the heaters had been left on and I was sweltering, it took 25 minutes for someone to come up and turn the heating down by which time all my make up had melted and I was close to tears. Then I was told it would take an hour to bring the food out. So me and my guests who were starving waited patiently, it took another 2o minutes and countless requests before they came to switch the music on, my wedding felt like a funeral, The waiter offered free kheer and pilough rice to make up for it, which I didnt need because I had already ordered more than enough food. When the food finally came (I had ordered for 15 guests more than actually came) the guests were called up table by table, by the time it got to my table which had all the elders (most important guests)myself and my husband, there was only scraps of food left. The waiters said they would bring more food up, it took another 20 minutes by which time everyone had made do with the scraps and was thoroughly annoyed with the waiters. The pilough rice wasnt even given, Karims staff ruined my wedding, me, my family and guests are so dissapointed. It may have just been another booking for Karims, but for me that was my wedding, to make it worse no apology or discount was offered to make it up for it, no one cared!

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Shane and I'm one of the new owners at The Horseshoe. I can see their is a mixed bag of reviews on here but I just wanted to let you all know that we're taking the pub through a makeover. There's a new fresh-food menu, with country pub classics, homemade chips cooked in beef dripping! and a new 'Tri-Menu' that changes every month. Push chairs are most definitely allowed! and everyone is welcome. We are introducing a new waiter service so you can experience our great customer service and can only hope that those of you who visited the horseshoe previously will give us a try as Im confident you will be pretty impressed with us! Our new website is up and running and we re-open on the 3rd December. We look forward to seeing you all soon, and we wish you a Very Happy Christmas.
