Reviews in Manchester

A great place to eat. On this visit our waiter admitted it was his first shift and did leave something to be desired with the service, although the food was delicious and the house merlot very drinkable. The coffee was the only let down, I'd give that a miss next time!

having previously recommended Punjab on a couple of occasions we decided to travel down to Rusholme for the second week running after an absence of what 12 months.Last week we had a brilliant meal in the Sagnam ,no complaints,but once again after our visit this week the Punjab excelled in food,cost and friendly service.I highly (and i dont say that often) recommend this superb ,modest family run establishment. Very VERY VERY GOOD.

Excellent food and service. If I had to choose one place on earth to have my last ever meal this would be it!

Been to Cinnamon on numerous occasions and the food is always excellent (better since changing hands!) Courteous staff, quick service and never feel rushed. Would definitely recommend.

The food at the Heylam is very disappointing, it wasn't warm enough, the egg fried rice tasted very plain and the atmosphere is dreadful, i will not be going back. Also disappointing that they don't sell chicken wings!

My husband took me here for my birthday... i've heard about Gaucho many times, but with so many restaurants to pick from when you live in Manchester, the prices on the online menus for Gaucho always caused me too chose others before it. Big mistake! As soon as we walked in, i was impressed. The place is visually gorgeous, and the front of house staff were very polite and, for a change in Manchester nowadays, smiling! Our waitress was undoubtedly the friendliest, most knowledgable waitress i have ever encountered. There's nothing this woman did not know, nor was there anything that was too much trouble! She really made us feel important. I noticed that all the waitresses for other parts of the floor, were the same. As for the food, the table bread and oil 'dip were out of this world.. so much so that i got the ingredients for the dip from the waitress, and will try to recreate at home... i could've gladly just eaten that for the night! The starter of Argentinian Sausage and mashed potato were lovely (although miniscule for the hefty price tag... but who cares!) The fillet stake was melt in your mouth, and for such a quality piece of meat, was excellent value for money. I had the 225g (smallest) cut, and was left uncharacteristically unable to have a desert, due to being full! The 'fat' chips were gorgeous too... not really chips, more like big roast potatoes! Cocktail menu was extensive and very fancy... the one i picked in the end was more like a desert in a glass, but having a sweet tooth, that suited me fine, and i really enjoyed it. The meal for 2 came to just under £60.. not bad for 1 starter, 2 fillet steak mains (one larger than the other), 2 or 3 argentinian largers, and a hefty cocktail. Also, refreshingly nowadays, gratuity wasn't automatically added onto the bill (how do places get away with this anyway!) and we were glad to hear that any tip given for the excellent service, goes straight to those who have provided it! Overall, the food was really nice, but the service we received made it 100 times better. i will be returning in a flash!

This place was the best a few years ago. Unfortunately they seem to have lost their edge and I have had too many disappointing meals to consider returning. I know of several ex-regular customers who share this view.

We didn't actually get to eat at this place. We booked a table fancying somewhere new but the awful impolite unfriendly attitude we got from this guy (he couldn't understand us and wouldn't even look or speak to me but kept addressing my hubby) made us leave before we'd even ordered, so I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Went instead to Malanchoo's in Newton and had a fantastic meal, so fresh out of oven Nan bread was too hot to handle!!

i love the atmosphere and the food is gorgeous and the staff are very friendly i would highly recommend it to any age group i have been at different times of the year

me and my girlfriend have bin a few times and we both enjoyed the food and service the food was really good and the price was average to we would recommend it to anybody

We were wandering round China town and chose this restaurant by chance. We had a wonderful meal at lunchtime, three courses for £6.50. The chicken in red wine and brandy sauce was superb. The staff were friendly and polite. Would definitely go again.

All I can say is that this Taverna was always good, but now it is simply superb !!

Excellent place.. am ashamed to say have lived near this restaurant for 5 years and only tried it couple of months ago. What a pity. It was excellent. Could do with more staff tho; one poor waitress was running round after a full floor of people. She did brilliantly though. Am going back!

Service: comical. The waiter was rude and got every single order wrong. Food: poor. I ordered a fillet steak medium rare and was presented with a sirloin steak folded in half and well done to within and inch of its life. Not cheap either at £17. Ambience: we were seated in a conservatory with very bright lighting and it was very noisy. Cost: very overpriced for the standard of the food and restaurant in general.

This place is awesome - I now go there every day. In fact, why am I telling you this ? I want to be able to get a seat inside. It's awful, don't go there under any circumstances !!!

The best chip shop in the entire universe!

Can't believe no one has commented earlier. Have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. My friends celebrate my birthday every year there and this weekend is no exception. (my 40th and my other friends 39th) Food is great and the atmosphere is fantastic. Waiters are easy on the eye and is always a plus point for the girls. Can recommend everything on the menu.

This restaurant has consistently improved over the years we have lived in Standish, a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the quality of the food set against the prices is excellent.
