Reviews in Manchester

We recently dined at the john gilbert and lovers of frozen food will be delighted with the fare.

I have visited La Roma many times with my husband and baby daughter and we are always welcomed warmly by Stefano and his staff. In fact, every time my parents visit they insist on going to lunch at least on one day as they find the food outstanding value for money, beautifully prepared and always hot!

We and our family and friends have been eating at La Roma for over 9 yrs - 8 at the previous place in Bromley cross and now for over a year in their new home. The food has always been of a consistent high quality, probably the best Italian food in the area! The menu is varied, there is something for everyone, from our one year old grandchild who loves the pasta to some members of the older generation who love the plainer (they do it without the sauce for him) fare of steaks(the hard to please father in law!). Definitely recommend La Roma to lovers of good food, pleasant surroundings and very friendly and obliging staff!

I have been to the ashfield on a number of occasions over the past 5 years ,during my recent visit i noticed the place was looking a bit shabby and dated.The food was top class but the waitress service a touch careless for want of a better word.might try else were next time

Have been a customer at the Owls at Standish, for years,and on Friday 19th June 2009 visited with my 85 year old father and my wife.During the meal the waiter slipped and "threw" a full bowl of custard over the table,my shirt,tie and suit trousers,and i do mean a "full-bowl" !!He was apologetic,the incident was witnessed by various other customers and a table occupied by friends of my wife.No member of management came to the table to apologise,despite the lady who appeared to be in charge passing several times.As we paid the bill,we gave details of the incident,no offer of compensation was made/reduction in the bill.The reception/cashier summoned the lady who had walked past us several times, who in a very curt manner told us it "would come out",her complete lack of customer skills and arrogance was breathtaking,this had ruined the rest of our evening as we had to return home and change.No offer of a refund was made---so beware at the Owls of Standish,you pay for what the waiter spills over you,make sure its not an expensive dish!!

Having been to a great many Indian restaurants, we have yet to find one in the same league as the standard. The service is fantastic and the food is second to none (well worth the trip from anywhere in the north west). I particularly recommend the 'sheezan murghi' which is fairly hot but with awesome flavour (a must try if you like madras). my fiancee has the 'Balti pashwari murgh' which is a must for anybody who enjoys korma. If you haven't already tried this restaurant, TRY IT!! and I bet you'll be back! There's a few pubs and bars nearby too for afterwards

Rainbow 88 cannot be beaten - absolutely the best Chinese Restaurant in the country as far as we are concerned. We have celebrated every special occasion there and never miss the Chinese New Year and Karaoke nights. Linda truly is the hostess with the mostess. Highly recommended any lunchtime or night of the week.

Food was tasteless, service was below par and the Manager is extremely arrogant after blaming us that the hair found in the Red Thai curry did not belong to his staff and he made out he was doing us a favour by replacing it, consequently we walked out only after paying for the starters as the manager locked the door. DO NOT GO THERE!

The food is fantastic and there is a great value for money menu available too. It's relatively modern and always pretty full. It even has a car park which in Didsbury is pretty rare. However, the service is quite possibly the worst I have ever received. Drinks were slammed down, starter plates weren't cleared until the end of the meal, noone checked that the meal was ok or offered the chance to reorder drinks. The table was wiped down onto my lap and both of the waiters that 'served' us were unbelievably rude. I would never return here but would try the takeaway next door as the kitchen is shared.

What a beautiful setting for a great restaurant. Look out of the windows and greenery abounds. We went for lunch on my birthday. The service was second to none. The food was delicious- piping hot as I like it. The owner found time to chat to everyone. It was an enjoyable experience, which we hope to repeat this weekend with friends.

Found a pubic hair on my red curry (number 47). The manager to acused me of putting it it there. Was shocked and refused to eat anything else so the manager made us pay 30 pounds for 2 starters coke bitter lemon and prawn crackers...

food is dear but i love all-you-can-drink coffee!!

Fab chippy,chips are lovely and fresh fab service A++++++

i always come here for the lunch specials, cocktails are nice too. A great place for veggies!

My family has been eating Steph's wonderful food for the last 10 years. We have travelled all over the world and still believe that Steph's garlic bread and pizza are the best. The food is always excellent, the service is second to none and the price is incredibly reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend La Roma Restaurant.

best fish and chips i have ever had pleasant staff

The meal + service was excellent the portion size were very good my only grip was the price it was very very good i was expecting more but it was perfect the zouk blast drink was superb very refreshing recommended for every one!

IF u want quality food but do not want to cook get yourself off too Zouk their curries are always the best in term of taste they definitely r the best!
