Top class Thai food probably the best around

great food, they also do take away

Very good standard of restaurant, excellent cooking and friendly service!. La Tasca watch out. Definitely one of the best Spanish restaurants in town for consistency, and I've eaten regularly at most of them. Give it a go. A real treat and great atmosphere,,,,, great food.

Whatever you want is there! Proper Persian restaurant that nothing has been mixed up with Arabic style! With Fantastic Food, very nice and friendly staff, perfect music, lighting and atmosphere etc. It is such a cosy place to relax and enjoy your PERSIAN meal.

Good food, nice staff. Food was an average price, good choice.

The food here is just excellent and also a little different to your usual Bar / Restaurant menu restrictions. Can't recommend highly enough and the staff are fantastic and knowledgeable. Worth every penny. The upstairs restaurant, I believe which has just been built is a beautifully done, relaxed atmosphere in stylish setting with subtle, well-chosen background music. I would highly recommend a visit just to view the lavish decor, hanging chandlers, and highly impressive waiting staff. Well Done.

Good quality italian food with style great location, free parking

A very authentic Spanish atmosphere, the staff are always very friendly and obliging. I will definitely be dining here again

Excellent little pub warm and welcoming staff, the wait is worth it and the food was so fresh and tasty. Been here several times and always excellent would recommend to anyone to try. Much more welcoming than its sister restaurant I have to say.

Fantastic food, what a great place less than £10.00 per head for food and a beer... well done !!

My wife and I go into Manchester every week to sample the flavours of what the city has to offer, my wife suggested going to a place called 'The English Lounge', located not too far from the Arndale Centre, an establishment, recommended by a friend of hers who had dinned there before and had enjoyed it herself. We had a drink in the bar as we arrived about 10mins before our booking time to get relax and get a feel for the place. You look around and can tell a lot of thought has gone into the place. We had placed in front of us a beautifully presented and designed menu, offering a very varied choice of both, continental meals, and English dishes. The meal was perfection! 10/10 at the end of the meal (Both feeling very full and had 2 bottles of wine plus the 2 bottles of water to keep us standing up right). I can only thank the staff for being both friendly, and delightful in their approach and mannerism's. When we left I explained to the manger we had not had service like that from a waiter more helpful for a long time. Last note this place is a must for anyone wanting the best of Manchester, and highly rate this establishment, as a must for both dining and sampling a great range of wines and real ales. Mr. & Mrs. Goodayle.

Went to English Lounge on a Friday night and the whole evening was brilliant, entertaining and a great start to the weekend. Huge portions!! It was well worth it as the price for a main dish alone can be under £6.00. Our table was delighted with the service, drinks we constantly refilled. We couldn? finish our main courses & next time (there will definitely be a next time!) would probably just opt for mains! A brilliant, lavishly furnished restaurant - perfect for drinking copious amounts of wine with delicious food. Brilliant!

A little gem in the country, what a menu and the Rigbye lamb simply is the best!! Be prepared to wait for a table though we waited 45 mins but definitely worth waiting for. We will be back to sample more. Definitely a food destination and the staff are very friendly too.

Gorgeous cocktails, lovely food (red pepper soup is to die for), fantastic views and great service. Will certainly visit again.

Good local Italian food cosy

The food tasted incredibly fresh, and with the real Mediterranean taste. Simply outstanding 100% satisfied. 100% recommended.

I have been many times and it always maintains a very high standard. The food is excellent and always fresh and authentic. The staff are professional, very polite and efficient. It's ideal for theatregoers - if you tell them, you can have an aperitif, three courses, coffee and pay, easily in under an hour. If you want a leisurely meal however, it is advisable to tell them that you are in no rush. Overall, excellent food, good service and not expensive.

Can't believe the existing review for the Owls, I live locally and everytime I've been it's been great food for amazing prices 3 courses for £5.95 Mon-Fri and Sunday! How anyone can say it's expensive, is beyond me. Even on Saturday night it's very reasonable. Plenty of choice for meat eaters and vegetarians - give it a try!
