Tahi Eatery

Came here last week with family. It is incredible. The food is wonderful, sent our taste buds a tingling.  Never had New Zealand food before. It is stunning. We all tried something totally different. You will notice one has been started before I managed to shout woah to my husband I need a photo. The gnocchi just melts in your mouth.The granola has a coconut mixture underneath. Oh my. Just beautiful. The beef just melted in your mouth. We all tried a bit of each other’s.  It’s the presentation as well with tiny little flowers that finishes the dishes to look amazing. You will not be disappointed

I came to know this place by coincidence, and I'm so glad I did. They have a wide range of food, teas, and coffee. I had avocado and poached eggs, but I have to say this it was an exceptional one. I've never tasted something as creative as this one in Manchester. The flavors were on point. The place was so cozy, and the customer service was great. We were served by James, and he made sure we had a good experience and explained the menu for us. I would highly recommend it, I had a pleasant experience that'll definitely repeat.

Incredible food inspired by New Zealand. A real treat for a homesick Kiwi expat! The staff were friendly and the food was amazing. We had the corn fritters & French toast and it was beautiful! Would be a great place to take someone to impress them for a special occasion - or even just to pop in for an excellent coffee, cocktail or to pick up a loaf of their extraordinary sourdough!

Absolutely incredible! Visited with a friend and her 2 year old daughter on a Saturday for brunch. The owners were both super hands on and really friendly - all the colleagues were fantastic and really great with my friends daughter. It's great to see an eatery where the service is still personal and you get a real sense of family and pride from everybody.

The food was outstanding - really good selection and lovely nod to NZ food. We had two brunch dishes and desserts. The bakery selection also looked fabulous. And of course they sell L&P!

Have already recommended to everybody and will definitely be coming back regularly.

Thanks so much!

It was very nice experience, the service was very quick and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The croissant was fresh and tasty. However, I only drink Americano cafe and the one I got was not nice, the coffee beans are not good. That’s my opinion. Another negative thing is that the price for the smoked salmon is £4 for the portion showing in the picture for only one dish. I think it a bit too much.
I will definitely go back again for the croissant.

Fress Restaurant & Bar

Lovely place for brunch and drinks. Had a nice catch up with some friends. Customer service was brilliant and were very attentive. Food was also well presented. The atmosphere just gave me a lovely American style setting. Was lovely. Hope to visit again

Spontaneously dropped by Fress whilst walking by, to grab some breakfast with my partner. We chose the Full English breakfast and the Brekkie beast burger.
The good: the food was hot and freshly made, with good portions. Didn't take too long to arrive either. The cheesy hash and scrambled eggs were yummy and the staff were attentive in catering to what we needed.

The less-good: unfortunately lacking in flavour and quality of meat compared to some other places we've tried in Manchester. Not a fan of their flat sausage. The sourdough toast was also pretty hard, but it was better when it had absorbed the baked bean sauce!
The burger was very messy to eat!

Overall the experience was good, but we wouldn't rush back. We definitely left will full bellies though. 🥓🍳

I came here from a place down the road after waiting for service for over 30 minutes and it was such a better experience, you know like a restaurant/ eatery should be.

Seated immediately. Order taken within ten minutes.

Food arrived approximately 15 to 20 minutes laters and was delicious.

I especially liked cheesy hash, a new addition to a full English breakfast I’ve not seen elsewhere.

Busy place but demand is well managed by diligent and professional staff.

Both a hit and a miss at the same time?!
We went on two separate occasions to @fressrestaurant and have some mixed feelings.

Vibe 💖💖💖💖🤍
We felt like Fress had a good vibe. It’s small but decorated with a really cool feel. We appreciated the cute velvet pink chairs and neon signs.  They also had offers for cocktails and bottomless and we think it’d be a good place to for these kind events.

Service 💖💖🤍🤍🤍
We felt a little let down by the service unfortunately. The staff seemed stressed and possibly down a person or two (not sure if this was the case but we did feel bad for them). We tried a few times to speak to someone about getting the bill after waiting a pretty long time and found it difficult to catch anyone’s eye.

Taste 💖💖💖💖🤍
The first time we went we both ordered the ‘Smashed Avocado’. One with streaky bacon (added halloumi) and one with smoked salmon. We were blown away not just by the presentation and the delicious taste but also by the portion size!  Image 5 you can see there was two pieces of toast with loads of avo and smoked salmon on each (not to mention the sauces and poached eggs).

The second time we went though, the bread tasted kinda stale and the poached eggs were overcooked and almost acidic (swipe to the end for the video). Both times the coffee was super milky and not great. That being said, they’re known for their desserts, cocktails and dinner.  We don’t know if it was just a bad day the second time, or we got really lucky the first time. What’s your experience?

Instagramability: 💖💖💖💖🤍
The dishes were beautifully presented. Couldn’t be better and we wanted to give 5/5 but the coffee’s were so disappointing, we’ve had to reduce a heart.

•Deal: go bottomless £15pp (+meal cost)
•VG/VE options: Yes

Insta&Tiktok: UKFOODBESTIES

Absolutely stunning place to grab some amazing breakfast, which is just delicious. From the hip vibes and colourful decor this place is awesome. The staff are so friendly and funny with great banter and the food and drinks wow. Really hits the spot a true gem, cant wait to visit again.

All our chicken, steak and beef burgers are halal.

Brunchville

To start off with, finding the place was a bit confusing. You need a sign board outside which helps people find you. Would be helpful. It was quiet when I went in and later got busy. Service could be more friendly than awkward. The English breakfast was alright but it came out cold, wasn’t so hot which was a shame. Also orange juice ain’t fresh, just bottled. Would be good to put these drinks in glass but I guess they don’t want to wash glasses. The French toast was great I enjoyed that. Overall 3/5 as the food wasn’t hot which was a major let down for me.

French toast was one of the best we had. Love the mascarpone touch.English breakfast was really nice and hot. All tasty. Just the egg was burnt at the bottom and too runny at the top - had it redone but they only put the same one back and just cooked the top part of egg. However rest of the food was good.

£9.50 - Full English
£7.50 - French toast

4.5/5
☺️

5/5 - This place is by far one of the best brunch cafes we have ever been to!

5/5 - Fast service & hot food.

Extremely easy to find. £2 all day parking Monday to Saturday & parking completely free on a Sunday.

The food prices was very affordable and the portions of the food is big!

It is super easy to find. The cafe is in the building called ‘Naz’. Just follow the signs.

Yes, absolutely recommended!

Efficient service. We were the first ones in as they'd just opened for the day. Lots of choice on the menu. We ordered the Brunchville and Benglish options with variations/upgrades. It was all so tasty and a refreshing change from my usual veggie brekkie choice at other venues. Standouts were the spicy sausages and the omelette! All topped with how amazingly good value it all was with some drinks included in the main dish options.
Come here if you want a different take on brunch and far removed from the word bland. Super value, super tasty and lovely service.

Decided to try this place after reading the reviews,
Just wanted to say that not only did we enjoy our meal, but the service was on point from walking through the door to the food arriving,to the point where one of the staff went out of the their way to make sure our drinks were not cold and only to offer to replace if they were.
Spot on ... would definitely recommend 👌 👍

Essy's

Wanted to try something new for a change so I opted for a Sunday roast. Having come across Essy on social media, I felt it best to visit and try it out for myself.
The Sunday roast chicken was very nice and didn’t disappoint whatsoever. The chicken panini was good and the French toast I felt could’ve been a lot better (tasted quite eggy and could’ve used proper brioche roll).
On a overall, the food and service was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

It was our last day in Manchester before we headed for London and we decided to get some breakfast. Randomly found this gem of a place! Breakfast not only looked absolutely amazing but tasted even better. Presentation and taste everything was spot on. Lovely customer service too. We also ordered banana bread for dessert and that was also lovely! Everything was really good, we thoroughly enjoyed this place. I hope it opens up in London 👀 They we’re halal which was great.

This place has been showcased on many foodie pages so it was our choice for breakfast.

The halal breakfast - The sausages were so good, it was full of spices and could taste a lot of flavour compared to others we’ve had. The rashers were disappointing (minus a star), I feel like they were the supermarket ones that we usually buy for home. They really need to upgrade their rashers to make this better. Everything else was tasty however I felt like the portions (especially for the price) was small (minus a star). I love soaking my brekkie in beans and the pot they provided was tiny, so was the portion of mushrooms! The halal breakfast was £10.95 each and the tea was not a part of it.

The presentation of the food was pretty 😍.

Overall we wouldn’t go back for breakfast but we would come here on a Sunday to try out their Sunday roasts which looks amazing!

Only certain items are halal but they also serve bacon.
I got the halal breakfast and asked for no egg due to allergies. It came with egg anyway but had no issues changing it. The sausages didn't agree with me and the turkey bacon was not that good. They did have some good menu options though.

Amazing customer service from Shakeela at Essys over the weekend.  First time experience as i'm not from Manchester. Definitely worth the visit! The team are ever so welcoming and friendly. Was helpful of them to give us recommendations on the menu - can’t fault anything tbh. Loved being there, enjoyed every second. Thank you!

House Of Chai

The food and service was phenomenal at house of chai. First time visiting but the portion sizes were massive and very tasty to say the least. The breakfast was very nice and the French toast was an absolute delight. Soft brioche roll drenched in chocolate which melts in your mouth! Will definitely be visiting again!

Very disappointed with the food and service! Good presentation . One of the starters was served cold. The chicken burger was just a grease ball which came out after everyone had nearly finished eating and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t cooked through (the result I will get tomorrow) I had a nibble on my friends steak which was pretty decent but overall if I came for food with my friends I expect to eat with them…

Left feeling shocked at the customer service at this place. We were waiting for our food and when we expressed that we had been waiting some time, the male manager was confrontational and not apologetic at all. It led to the whole experience as being very uncomfortable. The food was average when it came out. At the end, the female manager was very apologetic about the behaviour of the other one and dealt with the situation in a professional manner. She proceeded to state that the male manager apparently didn’t want to accept payment. We were happy to pay as we were not bothered about the money, just the customer service. He clearly knew he was in the wrong if he didn’t want to accept payment, although he didn’t tell that to us himself and that says a lot about his ego and pride. If he apologised himself,  we would have left feeling better. Will not be returning!

Is one of the better brunch places. The full english breakfast is good, but the french toast is amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely decor, great service but sadly disappointed with the food. Based on reviews i thought the food would be amazing. Great presentation but was cold and so mild with not much flavour at all. Sadly won't be returning. I am assuming its better known for desserts and breakfast.

Tutku Cafe

Tasty food, extensive menu and great value for money. Highly recommended. (Only accepts cash payment, no cards)

Another amazing halal full English breakfast cafe. Coffee is average but their panini and variety of sandwiches is extensive. I tried their Egg Florentine and I really enjoyed it. So they get my two thumbs up 👍

The few times I've been here I've always had lovely service. I got a breakfast takeaway today which was ready super speedily for collection. When I went to collect the staff managed to be welcoming, warm and attentive despite the cafe being packed and clearly very busy. Thank you, makes such a difference to your day when you're working from home :)

Parking is hard. But the cafe is great. It’s expensive though. Cash only.
Breakfast does not come with toast ?! Drinks are way over priced. But it’s a business and money is money. They are busy and do very well. You can get the same quality food for cheaper elsewhere

Tasty food, good service, that it was cash only could be made clearer on the door or on the sign outside.

Ask a member of staff about our Halal options.

Caramello of Didsbury

Caramello has never failed to disappoint. Their french toast is definitely amongst the best I’ve ever had! They also sell fresh Pistachio Croissants but you have to get in early for it. Full English breakfast and their Chicken Waffle are also worth trying. Would definitely recommend this place. Be prepared to wait for a table as it’s always full.

Absolutely beautiful food! Such a hidden gem.
We came to Didsbury just to have lunch here and will definitely be back. The service was great and the whole place had a lovely vibe to it.
Just wish we could have fitted in one of the amazing cakes!

I wanted to go since it first opened but finally got around to try brunch out with my friends. The food was immaculate, the service is a bit slow- also we had to queue outside for tables to be available as there were 3 of us.. all food is Halal I tried the full English with chicken sausages + Halloumi cheese. It’s very filling as I couldn’t have any thing else that day. We also ordered garlic Parmesan chips 😍 and French toast between the 3 of us. They accept card &cash…

The most delicious breakfast/brunch I’ve ever had - nice combinations of flavours that you don’t normally see being incorporated into breakfast dishes, with good quality ingredients and amazing presentation (and it’s halal!!). I had the mushrooms on toast with a poached egg and chicken sausage. The French toast is also a must have. The service is great although expect to wait for a seat if going at peak times.

If you haven’t been to Caramello, you definitely don’t know what you’re missing out on. Their French toast is just. WOW. In simple terms. I’ve been to many brunch places and had French toast from most famous places but nothing honestly comes close to Caramello.

Their chicken waffle is also very nice as is their standard English breakfast.

Have been a few times and will definitely carry on visiting! Would love to see them expand their shop however so that waiting times aren’t as long but I guess it’s worth it.

Chai Latte

nice food but made us feel awkward for arriving at 4:30 and ordering food. It says online that you close at 5 so that's your own problem!

Edit: It would be nice to just be told we can't order. Instead we were allowed to order and not told about the "cut off" whilst the chef audibly shouts and the woman on the till is shaking her head. Just put a sign somewhere or use your mouth to say "the kitchen is closed". Do not blame your customers :)

Friendly staff, fast service and great food. Big seating area, comfy. Definitely recommend. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that its a bit pricey compared to what I'm used too. £8 for eggs benedict in a cafe is just a little bit... was really nice, though.

Great food and overall experience, would recommend! We appreciated finding a halal spot that doesn't serve alcohol.

Speedy service and decent tasting food. Quite small portions in their English Breakfast though. For the same price you get more in places in the same area (as well as in London).

Everything on our menu is Halal. We don't have anything on the premises that isn't. Feel free to contact us if you need any further information.

Seven54

A friend took me over there for brunch. Very friendly staff and the place can be very busy in the weekend. Place to seat down outdoor as well. Food is nice overall. Will definitely go back :)

What we got:
Korean Fried Chicken served with Kimchi Mayo 🍗 - £7.50
Wild Mushroom & Truffle Cappaletti Pasta 🍝- £13
Crème Brûlée 🍮 - £6.50
Strawberry Daiquiri 🍹- £9

So we started off with the Korean Fried Chicken and it wasn’t too bad at all. It was just a bit dry 🤧

Next, we have the Wild Mushroom & Truffle Cappaletti Pasta. This wasn't bad. It was super creamy and had so much potential but for my taste buds it was lacking in serious flavour🤠. And salt doesn't account for flavour. You can only add so much salt to your food before it tastes salty, while still lacking in flavour ( I know from previous experiences👽). So yeahhh not too badddd just needs flavour 🎶

Creme Brûlée was what we got for dessert. The flavour changes, so when we were there the flavour was rhubarb. I quickly discovered that maybe I'm not a fan of Rhubarb so I can't give an honest opinion 🤡, but my boyfriend thought it was great soooo yeah if you like Rhubarb and they happen to serve that flavour when you go, have a go at it.🤧

The strawberry daiquiri was amazinggg. Yes, I was wowed with the bubble smoke stuff, but the drinks genuinely tasted amazing! Had to go for 2 rounds. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Extra Info:
- The staff were amazingggg! Loveliest girls ever!! 🥺🥺
- When we tried to tip we were informed that service charge was already included in our bill so that’s cool I guess  😗
- From what I saw the place is dog friendly 🐶

Absolutely love this place. Whenever I’m over from London this is my go to brunch venue. Staff are extremely friendly and courteous. Nice atmosphere, and best of all the food is amazing! Can’t fault it

First time in Seven54 and you have to go!
Delicious dishes, beautiful presentation! The service was amazing we were warmly welcomed by the owner and the staff served us quickly.

Absolutely outstanding visit to the newly refurbished Seven54 Cafe Bar and Restaurant in Didsbury. 5* food, 5* service, 5*drinks and just a pleasure to have dined here with my family. They are also very dog friendly and cater for them too, which shows they go the extra mile for everyone. Dishes we had off the menu to start were the grilled prawns, lamb chops (cooked to perfection and high recommend) and calamari. Followed quickly by a lamb rump (outstanding), chicken schnitzel and the rump steak. If you haven't already booked in, I high recommend you do so. Will be visiting again very soon and thank you for the hospitality.

@halalgems's review of Evelyn's Northern Quarter on Instagram

Evelyn's Cafe & Bar

Impeccable service! Every single member of staff we spoke to were really friendly and attentive. They picked up on my friend being pregnant and as they served her brunch assured her the egg was pasteurised with the red lion symbol before she even thought of asking! The cocktails downstairs were amazing and again the staff stopped to talk to us throughout the night and we had a laugh, really couldn’t recommend Evelyn’s enough.

Really nice vibe here with lots of natural light and the service can’t be faulted. The breakfast was fine although a bit expensive in comparison to the other brunch places available minutes away. Happy with the experience but I won’t be hurrying to recommend it

Visited yesterday with a hen party and it was fantastic. The food was amazing. Very well presented and tasty. The service was excellent. Our lovely waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were well tended to, he was an absolute delight. The cocktails were the best we had all evening both in quality and presentation. I will definitely visit again with my family.

Top notch for brunch. It's a lovely environment with plenty of greenery which feels like an oasis away from your usual daily Manchester weather. Staff are lovely and attentive. Drink wise it's great, you've got plenty of coffee options (peanut butter jam latte anyone?). The food is also amazing, you'll be ogling the dishes as they're being finished off by the kitchen. The shakshouka is delicious and our eyes were drawn to the pancakes (as well as the steak and cheese dish). It is busy, even at 10am on a Monday. Recommend booking a table. A gem of a breakfast venue.

I had the Sunday dinner trying both the chicken and the beef sirloin. For what you are paying they aren't worth it. The meat was tasty but portion wise they should not cost more than 10-12 pound. Then they also do a discretionary service charge when they do nothing to deserve it.

Delhi House Cafe

Went here for my graduation was such a beautiful evening, staff were so kind, considerate and attentive. The food was out of this world, have a fussy family and everyone found something to enjoy, plates were empty! Great prices for the amazing quality of food can’t wait to return! Thank you for my graduation surprise also! Cannot recommend enough especially for special occasions or dates even as the decor was beautiful and in such a great location.

Wonderful food and very good service. The dishes were served very quickly and tasted amazing. Their daal is 10/10. The avocado dish (starter) was definitely my favourite. The local larger beer is very good too. The place is very cozy and their tap water is served with mint and cucumber. I’m in love with this place.

We had a lovely time last Friday. The menu is a perfect balance between veg and non veg options. The food is delish and the service is immaculate. Everyone was very friendly and happy to make suggestions when asked. Despite being super busy considering it’s Eid weekend, everyone was gracious, took their time with us and catered to our needs. Would definitely visit again.

Quite a nice place to have some Indian food. Food is great, what I like the most about this place is they have really simple small menu. So choices are easy and food is fresh and tasty. Staff are great, always welcoming. Will defo reccomend giving it a try

Beautifully cooked curry in the heart of Manchester!
The butter chicken Tikka Massala was perfectly flavored and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The naan was really well done as well. I would only say they should put more chicken in it, it seemed like a lot of sauce and not enough substance. But I still really loved it.

My girlfriend got kadhai paneer and really enjoyed it as well. Lots of flavors and lots of substance to that dish.

Drinks were great as well!

The staff seemed kind of all over the place as there were 3 people who came to our table to ask us what we wanted in 2 minutes. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I would love to go again!

MyLahore Manchester

Great atmosphere, great food, amazing service! We really enjoyed our dinner at MyLahore last night but what really pushed me and compelled me to write this review was the service we received by Zak. He went above and beyond, providing the menu, our options and the food with a thumbs up and a smile. Was patient with us throughout the night as he explained the options and recommended the best MyLahore had to offer.

The food was great, however it did not justify some of the pricing. £18 for a mixed grill should come with sides, so it was a shock to me to find out they needed to be ordered separately. I was leaning towards leaving a 4 star review as a result but the service we received from Zak pushed it to 5.

It was good and the food was tasty. The variety on the menu was also good. The portions are a little small in my opinion and two of my mates got there orders a little off.

Good atmosphere, great service and old school desserts that take me back to primary school days

been here loads of times over the years since it opened and it's just so great every single time; food is always delicious, such a varied and huge menu (literally something for everyone), really good value for money as the portions are great sizes. went today and it felt super safe and clean and distanced given the situation, so that was good too! staff always friendly also. one of my fave places to eat and we drive 30 mins just to go there!

Third time no disappointment presuming it's a quality place especially for those who prefer spicy food🔥👌
