Reviews in Manchester

Second visit to Zouk and was impressed again,as good as Akbars and EastZEast'S similar types.35 quid for 3 of us more than enough,no drinks though,very busy Friday night but we didn't need to book.Parking maybe a problem but we got lucky.Recommended.

THE best chip shop in Bolton.

I felt compelled to write this review, as I had been directed to this restaurant by several people, telling me of the delicious food.Me and my partner enjoyed the shared Mezze to start, it was varied and fresh. However neither of our main meals tasted of very much. Infact of anything. My chicken was watery and there were no mushrooms or green peppers in the mushroom and green pepper sauce. The meal had no seasoning or taste to the sauce, not even an onion or hint of garlic. After taking a few moutfulls I informed the hostess I wasn't happy with my meal of this -her reaction was something extrodinary I have never encountered as a restaurant customer before. She informed me I was a cheapskate who just didn't want to pay for my meal, that I was just to full from the starter. Customers had enjoyed their food for 22 years and I was completley wrong. She intimidated and embarassed me, raising her voice and threating to call the police if I refused to pay for my meal. To top it off, she sent over her husband with the bill to thraten my boyfriend. When asked "do you treat all your customers this way?" The kind owner replied "No, just you." This was supposed to be a celebration meal for my boyfriends new job, and it was completely runied. I have never been treated with such aggression or rudeness before and I would strongly deter anyone from going to this restaurant.

my wife is currently in hospital and as a treat, thought i'd get a decent takeout, rather than the usual rubbish. what a mistake that turned out to be. i asked for a salmon pasta along with a meal for my wife. they told me salmon pasta wasn't on the menu but they'd make it for me anyway - great! having left my wife in hospital, i collected the food (nearly £30 for 2 pastas & garlic bread - had read good reviews so didn't mind paying for good food) having got back to my wife's side, i discovered that my pasta had prawns in it. i don't eat seafood, so called to complain. the way i was treated i still can't believe now. they were so rude and obtuse, i almost had to hang up on them i was so shocked. they said 'we thought we were doing you a favour?' not much of a favour to someone who doesn't eat seafood, and why not ask if i wanted prawns when i was on the phone? it looks like a lot of their pasta dishes have prawns in and they were too lazy to make a fresh sauce. i still cannot believe how outright rude the were to me. they eventually agreed to refund me the 14.95 for the pasta i can't eat and suggested i don't go there again which i certainly won't. ironic thing is that their name means friends/friendly (i think). ps the garlic bread was very nice :-)

my wife and i visited la lupa twice, the first time was passable, but the second time it was very poor. the minestrone soup tasted sour, and my wife had the halibut which was completly over cooked. my overall impression is that the food was poor. we will not be going back to la lupa again.

I honestly cannot compliment or recommend this restaurant enough!!! I have been on several occasions now, both lunch time and evening, and have found it perfect every time!!! The staff are always welcoming, to children as well which is lovely to see as some other restaurants near here don't welcome children!!!! the food is always top standard and have never once had anything to complain about!! well only that i cant dine there daily!!!!!! would definitely recommend La Roma to anyone looking for a authentic italian meal in a warm friendly atmosphere

Been visiting this restaurant for the past 10 years! Always excellent food & excellent service! Never had a bad meal (always try to try something different) Staff always friendly too! Would highly recommend trying this restaurant - take a ways are fab too with 20% off menu price!! Thanks for the free drinks Mr Mo! :)

the food in this restaurant is by so far the best Indian food you could ever eat.sant the head of the restaurant makes everyone feel special,and the food blows you away.i was brought here as a child and many many years later everyone i bring holds it number 1 in nepalese food!!never one let down just leaves you with craving to go back!!!"makhan chicken",the best

just enjoyed another fantastic meal at la roma, i consider myself quite a fussy eater and don't usually have many options on the menu but ive managed to have something different each time ive been here there's so much to choose from. The staff are lovely and the restaurant itself is always clean with a good atmosphere. the big plus for me is that it is so child friendly and everyone is made to feel welcome. I've been really impressed how accommodating the staff have been when we've gone for lunch from work, its usually difficult to coordinate 20 of us fitting a nice meal into an hour but we fax our order through and our meals are waiting for us, no rushing or need to take a doggy bag out with us!! keep up the good work.

Been Hong Kong many times,this is the nearest you ll get to it.Food fantastic,tasty and hot/lots local Chinese eat there/must be good sign.Must return soon.

Went to the Punjab this weekend and once again it was superb,if this isn't the best Indian food in Manchester please tell me where is.

We were told about the Angel by someone who writes restaurant reviews, but it took us a while to get there. I'm so glad we did. Yes, it's a small local pub in a bit of a down at heel Manchester (but with lots of new apartments going up- is someone trying to gentrify Ancoats?) Yes, the decor reflects this. But frankly, I didn't care in the slightest because the food was excellent, the beer (I'm told) was good & the service friendly. The menu was short, but still gave me problems deciding what to have. It was supplemented by some daily specials, which included Spam fritters! (Sorry, didn't get round to them, got stuck at the Morecambe Bay shrimp fishcake). We had our tame vegetarian with us. She's a good barometer as to whether a restaurant's good, based purely on what's available for her - she gets bored with pasta etc, which, as she points out, she can make at home for a fraction of the price. Although there was only one possible starter and one main course on the menu, she couldn't have been happier than with her goats cheese crumpet followed by potato cakes with mushrooms. Oh, the carnivores were kept happy too - black pudding starter for my other half & then fishy main courses - fish stew with spinach for him, and a whole sea bream for me. We had a side order of chips and vegetables. All three of us found that one portion of each was enough to keep all of us happy. We managed (barely) the Eccles cakes for dessert, and staggered out full. And we'll go back.

Lovely decor and friendly staff, the food was a little disappointing compared to Chaophraya.

Having never been in the Dilshad before i had the best Indian meal of my life earlier in the summer and as a result myself and boyfriend now regularly ring and collect a takeout from here. The food is fresh, tasty and above any other standard we've had before! We dread being invited out anywhere else now as no where compares to the Dilshad, 10 out of 10 every meal, and staff go out of their way to make you feel like you're their best customer :) Lisa & Dave

I loved this restaurant till i found a rat in the kitchen

had a lovely meal for my birthday here on the 11th august 2009 the food was excellent friendly staff not one complaint from our table of 16 mmmmmm and my mussles starter was the best ive had. James

A truly lovely dining experience with friendly staff. The food was magnificent especially the chicken shashlik which offered a unique taste that i had not tasted before in other restaurants. Highly recommended!

Probable the best Indian takeaway I've had - for taste, quality, value for money, portion sizes and service. I'd recommend it.
