Reviews in Didsbury

Great service and imaginative, tasty food.

Met friends for food which was delicious and well presented .The place had a quirky , warm and cosy atmosphere.Staff were friendly and helpful in answering our questions . We would recommend to meet for drinks or dinner .

Went in for dinner having booked on line. What a fantastic place! The ambience was so comfy and welcoming and the food was excellent. Short and interesting menu that was super tasty. The Slovakian lady manager was extremely helpful and generally lovely Recommend highly if want a casual place that is quirky, warm with great food. As it is open all day and with the second hand bookshop you could easily lose a wet afternoon over a pot of tea and good book

We have recently moved to Manchester and The Art of Tea was one of the reasons we felt comfortable choosing Didsbury as a place to settle. We visited on several occasions for coffee and sometimes brunch when house hunting and loved it’s charm and individuality. We then learned about their music nights and decided to book a table for the next one. What a joy! We knew the service would be up to it’s usual high standard (even more attentive actually given the reduced numbers) but beyond that we didn’t really know what to expect. Could it really morph successfully into an evening dining venue and what standard would the musicians be? Well, the answer to the first question was a resounding yes! The chilled evening vibe was delightful and the food utterly delicious! And as for the music - we were so impressed - 5 different musicians were presented to us by a compere who confidently complemented their professionalism. I write this partly with alacrity and partly with reluctance - it’s not a big place and I want to always be able to get a table!

Another lovely brunch at Art of Tea. Great food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely one of my favourite places in Didsbury.

Lovely place! Got a nice hot chocolate and was served at perfect temperature, was abit pricey though worth it. Bookshop and the back was wonderful and atmosphere is overall wonderful. Deffo coming again.

My first visit meeting a friend for brunch. Lovely and I will be back. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and great food. Highly recommend.

4 of us had a meal here last night and we’re really pleased with everything. Great food, great service, friendly staff and excellent value. We will all return here and would highly recommend it to anybody.

Everything brilliant 100% recommend

I love this place. It's great for a lovely lunch and a catch up with a friend, at a reasonable price. I had the Eggs Florentine and added smoked salmon. It was so yummy, however, one egg was hard and the other was beautifully runny. Overall it was lovely and staff are lovely. I will definitely return.

Our favourite place to eat. It’s a unique little restaurant. We love the ambiance and the friendliness of the people who work there. The food is always delicious and original. The stew of the day changes each week as do the specials and the pizzas are always great. Something for everyone!

Great food, as always and a great place. The service was a little slow, though.

Great food. Will be back very soon

We had a lovely evening here, the staff were kind and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious, thank you so much!

First time trying Dhoom Dhaam. The online menu is completely different to the menu they give. The only reason we booked this was because they had a wide variety of veg options on their online menu. But disappointed to find not many veg options on their actual menu. Drinks menu was online via a QR code however we weren’t able to access it even after being given the wifi. However, staff were lovely and explained everything regarding the menu and tried to accommodate.

First visit since the change of ownership. Had several visit over previous year and could see a fall in standards. The new team have refreshed the Dhoom Dhaam nd revitalised the menu. We both had sheek kebab starters, a nice spicy start. I then had chicken Rogan Josh while my wife had chicken Balti, both were excellent. Service was efficient and drinks reasonable.

Had a lovely birthday breakfast, good food good atmosphere will be back also bought a book nice

Another fantastic meal at art of tea: stew of the day and amazing pizza plus delicious Georgian wine.
