Reviews in Manchester

Fantastic, really, really worth going! A Group of us from work had heard about the new ZOUK and thought we'd give it a try, this Wednesday- when we got there we were told it was a special night 'Comedy night' there was no seats left, but we begged and somehow they sorted it out! Comedian a bit on the poor, but the food and atmosphere made up for it. Where taking the MD for his 40th next Saturday. Warning BOOK Friday, Saturday night! There always fully booked unless you go early evening or after 9.30pm.

Sugo is without doubt a fantastic local restaurant.The service and food are first class. Bee and Phil are always on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly. We have been on a number of occasions and look forward to our next visit

I have had quite a few meals at Nutters, but I went recently and recommended it to some friends and colleagues. Somebody said to me, "Are you sure it is still as good as your first visit"? and I had no hesitation in saying I am absolutely confident it will be. After our meal everybody (party of 8) said how they had never had such a good all round experience, food, atmosphere, service etc. I strongly recommend Nutters restaurant.

Well, what can I say! I went to San Carlo for a meal with my Fiancee as a birthday treat on Saturday 16th May. We had heard great things and read lots of glowing reviews. We arrived at the restaurant for our table which was booked for 7pm. I very lovely lady told us they were very busy and it would be a little later than 7pm and asked if that was OK, I said yes no problem, it was very busy and the atmosphere was great. We went to the bar to get ourselves a drink and wait for our table. We were then told that the whole of the Man United team were in the restaurant celebrating winning the Premiership that very day. As a United fan I couldn't believe my luck and then realised why it was so busy! The staff were fantastic, regularly updating us on the progress of our table. We were stood by the entrance/exit as it was so busy, then the restaurant manager came over to ask everybody by the reception/exit to make way for the United team as they were now leaving. Just then a 'security' chap came right passed us with the Premiership trophy, which everybody was touching including ourselves. Then all the players one by one came right passed us and we shook hands, gave kisses and hugs to all the Reds, absolute bliss! Shortly after, once the restaurant had got back to normal we were told our table was ready. The service was excellent and the food was second to none. The staff are great and the atmosphere, I guess even when United don't visit was great. Great place and will be going back very soon. A must!

This restaurant is in a lovely location, surrounded by trees and overlooking a river. The Italian staff could not do anymore to help you. We had a bottle of Montepulciano, three courses and coffee at £50 for two, bargain!! The menu was brilliant, lots to choose from and when the food arrived it was fresh, really tasty and piping hot. We had Bruschetta and chicken livers to start, both gorgeous. We went for Canelloni and Penne all Arribiata for main, both delicious. For dessert, we had Torte della Nonna and Strawberry and Amaretto gateaux. (very alcoholic!) The service was brilliant and the food was so good we will be going again, you should too!

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 . . .
