Reviews in Manchester

We dined there last weekend and having not heard of the restaurant I was a little dubious - however the restaurant more than satisfied our needs. The food was excellent, the sushi inparticular which was so fresh, compliments to the chef who is doing an amazing job. Also the service is exceptional, the staff were very attentive and helpful. If you enjoy Japanese food this is a little gem of a restaurant - the next best thing to eating in Japan.

Would not recommend this chain, the food was very bland and not the cheapest of places to eat. Great to have an open kitchen but not so great to see your mains waiting before you've had your starters! There are plenty of better restaurants in Manchester

We went to the restaurant twice last week! Its that good. The food is excellent, everything is fresh and its great that most of it is sourced on site. I had a few choices from the specials board, seafood chowder followed by rump steak with a mushroom and tarragon sauce. My boyfriend had the steak which hes claimed as the best hes had, quite a statement. The portions are extremely big so we shared a creme brulee, just lovely but the winner was the homemade shortbread with it. I wish they sold packets of the stuff!

By far the best kofta kebabs in manchester. I had mine with the cous cous salad, yogurt and uber fresh chilli and tomato sauce. Oh and its a restaurant as well. Deniz youre the man

We went on a extremely busy Friday night, great service but the food was far from great. Tough calamari and a disappointing pasta choice, huge portions of sloppy tagliatelle with a awful creamy tomato sauce. My stomach was churning all night! On the positive side we sat near the kitchen and the pizzas looked really good!

My wife and I just happened across the super Turkish Delight restaurant in Chorlton and were absolutely delighted with the food. For my wife it was sword fish kebabs and I had a delicious mixed grill. To cap the enjoyment, the bill came in a little treasure chest containing Turkish delight.

A good, varied menu and exceptional service. Staff were more than willing to help us navigate our way through some unknown dishes. Happy to recommend.

This restaurant is very expensive and the food is ordinary and nothing special. I will not be going again they charge £1.60 for a glass of tap water to clearer the taste of the food from my mouth. The starter took over an hour to arrive and when it did it was 4 small skewers of chicken and this cost £6.50. The main course was no better at £8.50 I had chicken, spring onion and ginger. This was cold and only a little ginger. Not a very good restaurant.

I have been to karims on several occasions and i absolutely love the place.The sweet coloured rice i haven't a clue what it is called and the curried mixed vegetables are fab, i would recommend this place to people who love variety and great tasting foods.

I would not recommend this restaurant. Maybe it is because i am arabic and i know what good arabic food should taste like. The service was terrible and the food was tasteless. I can only imagine a naive pallet would appreciate this experience. Never again!

Went to Loch Fyne in Didsbury last week, was quite busy and had high hopes for the evening... These were soon dashed however by the uncontrollable air conditioning which was blowing either hot or cold air out very strongly directly above us. The starters weren't that great, mediocre soup and rather chewy squid. The lady next to me ordered mussels which must have been caught dead as they were all closed when she got them, this worried me slightly as that was what I ordered too. No need to worry though, mine were brought and they were all open - though sadly for me, they forgot to put any sauce on. The Manager came over to apologise, apparently the chef has just missed the pot out that my mussels were in when he was dishing them out..... my mistake, I thought that they mussels should have been COOKED in the sauce to absorb the flavour. All round the atmosphere was chaotic with sub standard service and food. Beyond hideous.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere and good value. Quite a small menu but lots of unusual dishes to try. Food tasted really fresh and healthy and although the service is perhaps slower than a typical curry house the relaxed atmosphere and the quality of the food mean you don't mind waiting a little bit longer. There is also a selection of homemade puds which are very tasty. Overall highly recommended.

visited this place last week had the scallops and pig cheeks fantastic service was the best I've had in Manchester taking my wife next week for her birthday

One of the best Pizza Express Restaurants I've been to. the food and service was amazing and the restaurant is a beautiful in a great location. Highly recommend to anyone!

We've been going to the Eastern on and off for about 5 years and it hasn't changed much. The food is brilliant and the chaps working there are so nice. The chef cooks the food there and then, there's not pre-made sauces or anything. A lot of Indian restaurants that I've been to simply put cream into hotter dishes to make it a bit milder, but here, you get the sauce you want, without the kick - if that's how you want it. My other half likes really hot dishes and they have no problem sorting that out either. If it's not on the menu, you just need to ask, they really are great. It's really reasonably priced and easy to get to/from with the tram pulling up pretty much outside. There's also a bus station across the road and black cabs outside - if you prefer to have a few drinks with your meal. I would definitely recommend this place without a shadow of a doubt - pretty sure it's my favourite Indian restaurant in the area......give it a try.

Hi just to say as family we got to the Bilash great staff in there kid friendly!! mint food !!!

Go to the grapes on a regular basis, for either a night out or for a family meal. the carvery is outstanding and even a bog standard baguette with chips is melt in your mouth stuff. would definitely recommend to anyone x

Absolutely top class - food is always faultless, with new dishes often added alongside the classics. Service is excellent, staff very professional. I have eaten all over the world, but China Cottage takes some beating. It is always good, never has an off-day - and we've been there plenty of days!!
