Go to Dalat ! It's fantastic food (Ped Pad Khaprao is my favourite) with warm and friendly service. Its the best restaurant in Northenden by far! Dr L

We've been the last couple of Saturdays and must admit, food, service, wine are all excellent. Surprised how little it cost also - will definitely be going again soon!

I live local to the restaurant and have eaten there several times over the last year. The staff are always pleasant and the beer is always cold (they have Peroni on tap with glasses to match!). The food is excellent value for money. My girlfriend nearly always has the rigatoni gratonati because its delicious. I am more varied and rotate my choice of pizzas which are always excellent. And you get an after eight mint with the bill! In summary a great location for an Italian restaurant which compliments the lovely staff and great food.

Eating at Glamorous is a really mixed experience; on one hand, the sheer scale of the place is impressive, the menu is fairly extensive and the food is pretty good. On the other hand, it's in a dog-rough location, you get mithered by people trying to sell you things from food trolleys at your table all the time and it's really quite dirty in places. The chairs in the reception / waiting area are absolutely filthy with all kinds of stains, as is the carpet. The food is pretty good without being sensational; it's definitely of a higher quality than those eat-as-much-as-you-want self-service Chinese buffets, but it's - in my opinion - just the same as an average Chinatown restaurant. All in all, a little disappointing.

We came as a party of 12 to the Stock Restaurant yesterday to celebrate a birthday. The table was booked for 8.30pm. We sat down at our table at 9pm. Our starters were served at 10.10pm and our main course at 11.15pm. Food: Had the food been hot when it arrived at the table (which it wasn’t, in particular the steaks, duck and chicken), it would certainly have been cold by the time the 2 waitresses served the whole table. This applied to both starters and main meals. My chicken livers were bitter and just off cold, the king prawn taglierini bland and dry. Service: Extremely poor: 4 bottles of wine had been pre ordered for our table for our arrival. No one seemed to know about this and we were repeatedly given the wine list (though not offered ANY drink for the first 45 minutes after our arrival or any indication of the time delays) The door manager had a most unusual style of address in that she appeared not to acknowledge any conversation directed at her. The waits between ordering and food arriving were unacceptably long, despite the restaurant being only half full towards the end of the evening. Generally the staff seemed harassed, without care and disinterested if not downright rude. Starting our main course at 11.15pm at a table booked for 8.30pm was extremely disappointing not least as most of us were unable to eat it. A service charge of £29 was automatically added to the bill. This was a special birthday celebrated with special friends and family and we were determined to enjoy our time together in the beautiful building, but the occasion was not helped in any way by our experience with the food and service at the Stock Restaurant.

Went last Sunday evening, really great atmosphere, friendly staff and fantastic food!

We were upset when Happy Seasons closed having eaten there dozens of times,it being the best Chinese food in the area (and the cheapest !!). However we are pleased to say the new owners food is just as good ( soya chicken better!!!) and more of it. My few months of misery have ended and the fruitless search for Chinese food of equal quality is over. Long live the new Happy Seasons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fantastic Persian restaurant, a real 'hidden gem' in south Manchester. great starters including chicken livers in pomegranate sauce, great kebabs and Persian stews, both with exquisite rice with a touch of saffron. if you haven't visited Shiraz before, get there now, you won't be disappointed

Having done a lot research on Middle Eastern Restaurants in and around Manchester and trying them; this is one we will certainly be going back to time and time again. There is a smaller menu than some similar places, but the food was absolutely superb. All 4 of us had something different, and we couldn't fault anything. Some of the starters I had not seen before, and they were mouth watering. Go try this place, it's rustic and homely and doesn't cost a fortune.

Fantastic food, superb service, and a great 'all you can eat ' offer, makes La Salsa my favourite place to eat. The fish in batter tapas is second to none, my wife's favourite is the gambas (king prawn in batter) A superb menu choice and a pretty decent pint of cruzcampo make it a thoroughly enjoyable eating out experience.

mi spiace tante,perche' tutti me lo hanno vantato e consigliato,che era il migliore italiano in zona,ma sono rimasto deluso in tutto e per tutto......

Fourteen members of Trafford Curry Club ate here last night Wednesday 20th May 2009. We ate here in January 2008 and decided to come back to see if the high standards were still being maintained. We were not disappointed! Once again the place was very busy with many Asian people eating here as well. After poppadoms, mixed starters, a choice of main courses plus drinks and coffees the total bill came to £320. Once again we were very impressed with the waiter service, food and atmosphere. This place is nearly always packed to the rafters even midweek so they have clearly found a successful winning formula. This restaurant is the jewel in the crown of Manchester. Thank you Akbar for a lovely evening.

Earth Cafe is beneath Manchester Buddhist Centre, and the decor and atmosphere reflect that. It's relaxed and friendly, with cheerful staff, and the food is served cafeteria style. They use mostly locally grown ingredients and the food is very fresh - big choice of juices, smoothies and salads as well as several choices of main course, and unexpectedly delicious cakes and coffee too. It's all ridiculously cheap for the quality and quantity you get, and the statues are beautiful . . .

A hidden gem in Didsbury! I have eaten here on many occasions with/without children, as a couple, and in large groups and the food never fails to impress - even my very fussy father! Lunch potions are quite large and desserts are to die for ! Love being able to see into the kitchens. The wait staff are also very polite and efficient without being obtrusive overall an excellent, reasonably priced, quite dining experience - highly recommended!

I idolise the food at this restaurant so much i bore my colleagues to death about the place, I love the football connections even though i am far too out of shape to even consider kicking a football. I love the complete waste of a prime fillet steak by mincing it and using it in a pasta dish! mmm, As I am a serial complainer, please allow me to eat for free in the future. Mr Puccini....I will always love you and your fine establishment.. All my love ....Rooney lookalike- you know who I am

China City is and excellent restaurant. In the week you can get a 3 course mean for £4.50. On a Saturday it is only 50p extra. Service is excellent and the food is always piping hot and freshly cooked. I have tried several other restaurants in China Town but always end up going back to China City.

my 3rd choice very nice but seem to rush you too eat up order your starter then tell them your not ready for main course yet . very expensive for the drinks. 2nd choice is darbar. 1st choice is al bilal. the rest are not so good. as an Indian i know. nice place enjoy anyway.

very very expensive on drinks & food ok food not great but would not eat here again. no good for a large family works out dear!
