Reviews in Manchester

I want to express how wonderful he food, service and ambience is at the Waggon & Horses at Matley, near Stalybridge. I would recommend this establishment to everyone, it is excellent.

I visited Sottovento for the first time since it changed hands on 18th June 2011 for my hen night. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the atmosphere just right. The personal attention we received was perfect - attentive, but not overly so. The staff brought me a profiterole with a candle in to celebrate my impending wedding and when we stated to the new owner how pleased we were with the meal and the whole evening and that we would all leave him a lovely review, he brought our party free liqueurs! A thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by the whole party and we have all stated that we would revisit on an individual basis. Highly recommended!

lal qila has been one of our favourites but went there last night and was very disappointed. The staff clearly didn't care whether we were there or not. There was a very long delay until the order was taken, a wrong dish was delivered, we asked several times for water that never arrived, the tablecloth and floor were dirty and even getting the bill was a struggle. Not good especially as this place is no longer cheap.

Visit the Orange Tree a least 2/3 times a month and never get fed up of going food is excellent and the staff a very accomadating in making sure you enjoy your food its a gem in dentons crown and a must place to eat either at lunch or in the evening , you will always have a lovely time with well priced food and wine and entertaining floor staff

Delicious meal sets, new tastes and culinary experiences, nice atmosphere, smiling and helpful Thai ladies, short waiting time for meal and inexpensively. I am very pleased.

Went here last night with a party of ten. Saturday evening is 12 pound for any starter and any main meal, a side dish ( one between two people) also included popadom and chutneys. Food was brilliant and service was also good. Couldn't get a takeaway for that price. Will be back soon.

Absolutely divine. Tasty food with excellent service and reasonably priced, I have eaten here on many occasions and have never been disappointed. I have tried a number of Italian eateries in Tameside and Giovanni's is by far the best!

Upon arriving at The swan with Two Knicks i was impressed with the old building and location. We were kindly greeted and told to find a table. But from there it went downhill. My partner and i both ordered for starters Chorizo with potatoes. It came in a bowl covered in some spicy sauce that was so bland. The chorizo was semi warm and just made your jaw ache trying to chew it. Ive eaten chorizo in South America and their was no comparision. For my main course i chose Cajun Chicken in Pitta Pockets and this was even worse. It tasted like the same bland sauce as the starter. I would compare it to a cheap tesco sauce in a jar. My partner had cheese and onion pie and asked before if it came with a sauce or gravy to which she was told no. So she asked for some gravy with it. When it arrived it was already smothered in a cheese sauce. When cutting into it the pastry was soggy and grey and looked disgusting. The waitress the poor girl asked if everything was ok to which i said no and she called the manager over. The manager said the reason my cajun sauce was bland was because the chef thought it may of been too hot for me so toned it down. WITHOUT EVEN ASKING ME!!!!!. And worse still the chef and waitress had had a conversation between them about whether my partner wanted cheese sauce,gravy or both and decided both again WITHOUT ASKING HER. We were offered a free desert but were already disgusted so declined. Worse still upon getting the bill we then found we were charged £1:50 for a tiny jug of watered down gravy. Utterly disgusted

Very disappointing. The tapas here are anything But authentic. I ordered chorizo and was served A bowl of pepperoni that I would normally expect To find on a pizza! Worse still the “seafood" paella Came with crab sticks in it. Very Spanish(not) Won't be rushing back any time soon

Apparently caps are not allowed to be worn in the carvery and this is not publicised. Only when we were seated with our meal and drink were we told this by the manageress. No other member of staff pointed this out to us, on this occasion or on the numerous times we have eaten there before. Our only options, barring removing the cap which was not possible, was to eat in the vault! or take a refund. Very unprofessional. So a quiet family meal with our daughter granddaughter and her father was ruined by a jobsworth manageress. If you have house rules, please advertise them or at least inform your staff.

We went to this restaurant for our 50th wedding anniversary last week, after it being recommended by our friends. The food was unbelievably beautiful and the prices very reasonable, however the whole experience was ruined by one waiters negative attitude and very rude/aggressive behavior towards customers. On the whole we would recommend this place and go there again, but avoid the waiter wearing spectacles.

Excellent restaurant we visit a few times a month and have never been disappointed. Stef and all the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. All the dishes on the menu are very tasty and good size portions. Only wish we could come more often. Would definitely recommend to anyone to try you will not be disappointed.

We ate here recently, the atmosphere was fabulous, the service was excellent and the food was authentic and highly recommended. In particular, the staff didn't rush us away from the table which is often the case in other establishments. Excellent. Looking forward to re-visiting!

The restaurant was nicely decorated and had a nice atmosphere If you ignore the awful warbling in the background, The staff weren't friendly but quick and highly efficient. The food on the other hand was awful. I took two bites of this £14 plate of 3 prawns and what I can only call terrible and hard rice crispy treats with the worst tangiest processed sweet and sour sauce and wanted to throw up. My stomach cannot tolerate awful food, but my partner on the other hand has a stomach of steel and he felt worse after a bite. I cannot stress how terrible the food was, the Chef could have literally defacated a Chinese takeaway on our plates and would have tasted better. It is overpriced garbage I've had better Chinese food at a £2.50 all you can eat buffet. Don't waste your time or money.

i have been Qila Khyber, my friend told me about this takeaway.i was really surprised when i saw BBC tv super star there .and i ate chicken biryani and masala fish which u couldn't find in Manchester and beautiful rice'n'3 curries.i think Qila is the best restaurant in Manchester

The Spicy Hut in Rusholme is simply superb. Every month for over ten years my wife and our friends have visited many restaurants in Manchester and have not found more tasty, good value food to compare with 'The Spicy'. We always find the staff very friendly and although it gets busy, it's never long to wait for a table. A recent revamp brought the comfiest seats I've ever sat on! Well worth a visit.......you will return!

I had a lamb madras, chapati and seek kebab take-away. I did not enjoy it one bit. Very lacking in flavours and too much oil in the curry. The chapati was not the good and there were virtually no flavours to the seek kebab. It was far too over-priced. . I will not go again or recommend.

I visited Ambiente with my Husband and my Mother-in-Law and we would certainly recommend it to anyone. The food was a very high standard, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was friendly and quiet. Thank you to all the staff for an excellent night out. We will visit again soon!
