Booked a table for six (because they don't do bookings for less than six people, so if you want an intimate dinner for two, always have random strangers to hand to make up the numbers) for last Thursday 2nd July 2009, got there, they denied all knowledge of the booking, waited half an hour before anyone came to take the drinks order... and waited another hour before our salad main course turned up, starters were completely forgotten, and so should you if you're thinking of going there, BoHo Chorlton... more like BooHoo Croma.

My partner and I visited Bistro West 156 last night for the first time. Wow! It was a beautiful evening and we sat outside. The restaurant is small and quaint and the food was outstanding. Big portions and excellent value for money. You MUST try it

This is the best, if your looking for good food no frills this is it. I have tried to keep quiet about this place for years but the secrets out.Everybody that goes here will always return. The best Lamb curry i have ever tasted. Try the veg samosas, incredible.Take them home they keep you going for days.Also best nan ever. The service is easy and uncomplicated.

A fantastic, well run, friendly Italian restaurant with excellent food and service in a lovely location in the Irwell Valley. I fully recommend La Roma whether it be an informal lunch time visit, a romantic meal, party time or with kids also. La Roma offers the all round package for whoever you are. We like La Roma so much that we don't consider any other Italian restaurant as most just can't compete.. ps The House Red is superb!

Good original old English fish & chip shop, no pizza no kebabs excellent food well recommended pay a visit.

We've been here a few times in 2008 and everything was great, went in June 2009 and it seems as though there has been a change of management. The food is ok but not outstanding and a little bit pricey for what you get. Saying that ,the desserts are excellent. The staff seem friendly enough but one of them was not as friendly as the others. She seemed a little arrogant with customers and wouldn't smile at all. Food 6/10 Service 6/10 Price 6/10.

we love the taj mahal, great atmosphere, excellent food, not too pricey and the staff are lovely :) always have any family get together here and they always do us proud

We have made three visits in the last few weeks, food is excellent and very well presented. you are made to feel welcome by the owners and staff. prices very reasonable. Well worth a visit.

a very nice restaurant, offering river views. my partner and i both thought the food was quite nice/alright rather than delicious. i had a choice of a mild, medium or hot karahi. i went for the medium, and i'm glad i chose that and not the mild as it was fairly tame (not as though i like 'hot'). my girlfriend had some prawn dish that apparently didn't taste very much like prawns. we twice asked for some tap water (we already had wine) which never came. the pickle tray for the popadoms was excellent though and we will probably give this place another go.

yes very nice place,impossible to park though!food ? ok

easily the best Indian food in the north west.

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.
