Reviews in Didsbury

Had a meal at Bistro 156 last night and it was delicious. Portions were normal sized for us girlies not afraid to eat and enjoy food! The desserts were so tempting we shared 3! And Shaun, you really looked after us - cheers! On a Wednesday it was fully booked - enough said!

Recently attended restaurant because of a deal on frugaloo. Wasn't expecting much for the price we paid but I have to say it was a great meal. Service was great and the food was excellent, fresh ingredients that worked well and a menu with an extensive offering of dishes from the usual curries to the very traditional gurkha dishes. All in all a great experience and I will certainly be going again.

Definitely NOT. High price & very little food. Snooty manager. Main dish sausage (2) & one scoop of mash potato - for around £11. I refused it & was told in a very condescending by manager that I don't have to eat it. The restaurant was full - reminds me of 'the king's new clothes' fairytale. The place to be seen whatever the cost or value.

I am a very foody person and after tasting the great food of Gurkha Grill I could not help my self to go their again and again. The food is simply wow and the members of the restaurant are very cooperative and friendly. Raj and Niel are always their to welcome us. I am 200 % satisfied with the nepalese food and environment and I recommend you to go their and experience yourself. I guarantee you that you will not regret it…..

Excellent dosas / idli. very reasonable prices. great place to try south Indian food. Very pleasant service. Only gripe is poster on wall stating they don't give tap water, and 50p for bottled water. Such a shame as tap water is standard in most Indian cafes. That aside, I will certainly revisit and try the thali

Always enjoy going to the restaurant - the food is so tasty and the atmosphere is good. The service friendly and we always have a wonderful meal!

Fantastic food, very disappointing service. We were booked in at 9.15pm on Sat night and it seemed that the staff couldn't wait to get rid of us. Staff became a bit friendlier after we had given a tip but up to that point they clearly just wanted to go home. Don't take bookings if you don't want people on at that time.

There was onion skin in my food. So desperately disappointed. They were understaffed and lots of people were getting their meals late. When I raised the issue over the meal the waitress said "well you have children so you are actually costing us money" Charming.

Sorry, I don't see all the compliments for this place. Food was okay, not terrible by any means, but certainly not worth the prices - the quality is no better than an average gastropub. None of my friends who live in Didsbury would ever go there, so I'm wondering whether all the positive reviews have been written by staff during their breaks - a surefire way to bring people into your restaurant without doing the work!

It was very lively when I went there with a friend on a Thursday evening. The food was average. It doesn't seem as authentic as other Thia restaurant, in fact it felt like an American 'restaurant' (I use that term loosely) filled with Elvis pictures. It was an enjoyable evening. Although it's not a place to go if you want to actually have a conversation with someone as it was VERY LOUD and it got so loud we had to leave to go somewhere else to carry on with our conversation. It's more of a club with seating areas and middle of the road noddles and rice.

I used to eat in here every week!! What a brilliant chippie this is, I highly recommend getting yourself down here to try their lovely fish. I don't live in Manchester any more so I do miss my weekly fix! Thanks for all the good food guys keep up the great work

I went out with friends on Friday to Jem and I. I have been a number of times but this time the service was awful - we had to keep asking, there was no atmosphere and the food was ok but all overprice, won't be hurrying back.

As part of a birthday treat I took my wife and son to Greens last Saturday. The deep fried oyster mushrooms and black pudding was really tasty but the sausage and mash although nice we felt was a bit overpriced. The most disappointing part of the night was the attitude of the staff and the way in which we felt that every dish was rushed. The way in which the waiters hung around the tables and cleared the plates as soon as we had finished eating was more akin to a fast food restaurant than what we had hoped for.

Amazing. Have been 3 times now and have loved every visit. Completely recommend it for something different within a reasonable budget!

Would not go to this restaurant again ,we went on a wed night and waited 45 mins for our starter.My friend had one course and was charged for two we were charged 10 service charge but did not get any service other than to bring the meal and take the order.I spoke to them and they took off two pounds for not having a starter i pointed out that a lot of people do not want two courses.and cannot eat a big meal.they offed no alternative and sill charged me so will not be going again

Very excited to find a proper South Indian restaurant here in Manchester with varieties of Dosa´s,Idly,Chicken and mutton curries. I have visited with my friends and really nice authentic South Indian food. The foods are delicious and really good value for money. Will come back again.

I have been going to the Gurka Grill for many years now with my family and i have to say the food is delicious and Raj and Niel are very welcoming. I really liked how they take the time to get to know their customers and are always polite. I recommend the Gurkha Grill to everyone i know and i have never heard a complaint.

What an absolutely fantastic evening we had at Bistro West 156! It was my first visit and certainly won't be the last. Everything was excellent. Sean was a very attentive host and nothing was too much trouble. As for the food! WOW. Really tasty food that was not too OTT but was certainly a change from the norm. Very generous portions and beautiful flavours. The cosy, intimate atmosphere coupled with great food and excellent service makes Bistro West 156 a welcome change to the majority of restaurants out there - others should set their bar at this standard - outstanding!
