Reviews in Manchester

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Took my sister & 59 friends on her surprise 40th Birthday.... absolutely amazing night!! The staff are extremely organised got everyone served on time - Food - mixed reviews half loved it - half said ok but think that's because they weren't sure about Greek food anyway? However... entertainment - TOTALLY AMAZING!! If you want a fun crazy night - you HAVE to visit - loved it - enjoy!

We have visited La Roma numerous times and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating, food is of a very high standard and wines are excellent. Our particular favourites have to be the pork fillet (which is by far one of the tastiest meals we've ever eaten) and the chicken livers.

I came with a group of 12 teachers over a week ago. Was pleasantly surprised with my delicious pizza, and everyone was full with their servings. Ooo the sweet caramel was great. I'm awaiting confirmation by yourselves for another reservation on Monday, June 13 with more friends.

Me and my family used to be regulars at La Scala and absolutely loved it there. In the last couple of years we have only been twice as on both occasions we were very disappointed with both service and the food. We decided we would give it another go this week and once again we were let down. Service was awful (not attentive at all) and the food just ok with no surprises on the menu. Since Fabio and Pablo have left this place has changed completely. We will definitely not be going again

A further welcome addition to the Horwich restaurant scene. In the premises of former restaurants, Inca & Puddleduk, La Salsa has a good atmosphere and a good range of tapas options. The current menu operates on an "as much as you can eat" basis with various prices depending on the time and day. Friendly service, good food, reasonably priced. Worth a try.

My sister and fiance live in Switzerland and the three of us are vegan and last time they were home decided to celebrate with a meal at the laughing buddha with all the family. (A table for five). The service was slow and delivered one starter then a thirty five minute wait for the other starters. This was followed by a fourty five minute wait to our main course in which our bowls of rice were platted in originally warm bowls but ten minutes later half of us were still awaiting our main dishes. A ten percent service charge was applied to tables of five or more we did not pay this due to the bad service. However, we did leave a tip of £3:50 which on reflection was not deserved. The owner took this as a insult and followed us to the door shouting at us in front of all the other guests as we were leaving and insisted we took it back. We did try to explain our reasons but staff either unable to speak English or trying to look busy without actually accomplishing anything. Shame as a party of us from work were going to book in for the following week but have now suggested to everyone i know not to eat here. I wouldn't eat here again /. what a shame

Slow service and portions too small. Wouldn't recommend to any of my friends

It was my first visit to Bistro 156 on the 1st June with my two friends - what a fab time we had. Food was delicious -decent portions for us girlies who enjoy our food. Shaun our server was very attentive and made us feel extremely comfortable. We ordered all 3 desserts and shared them. It is my birthday on the 15th June and I will certainly be returning.
