Went here with my mrs for breakfast on her birthday and it was amazing! Pancakes had a really nice cinnamon hint to them and the stroopwaffels🤤 wish I lived closer I’d have it every morning.

Had a lovely time here today, the staff were very pleasant and handled being extremely busy after opening well. Keeping myself and other customers updated on when their beautiful pancakes were to be served. I had them with Strawberries, banana & Kinder Bueno… very tasty. Anyone passing through Altrincham/Goose Green with a sweet tooth would be well advised to pay a visit.

Such a unique café, we're very lucky to have this place in Altrincham. The warm, cosy and welcoming interior makes you feel like you're in your own little world and there's a great menu on offer, the stroopwafle is a particular favourite of mine. All the staff are a cracking bunch of people who always sort me out good and proper, long live Papa Dutch ❤️🇳🇱

Rigatonis is my favourite pasta restaurant by far. Fantastic small menu, intimate restaurant with a good atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and the best pasta i’ve ever tasted! So much flavour is packed into every dish. Been multiple times, each time the same high standard is maintained!

We have been coming here since 2015 and can honestly say it’s our favourite restaurant. The food, service, staff and atmosphere are second to none. My favourite dishes of the Bruschetta Pugliese and the Broccolini pasta main are still on the menu which fills me with joy! The service from Tony and the team is exceptional and you are made to feel part of the family. Tonight didn’t disappoint and thank you for still living up to such a high standard of exceptional Puglian inspired dishes and fantastic customer service. We look forward to coming back soon.

We went into Rigatoni's on impulse and, wow, we had such a special experience ☺️😋. I had the dish with gorgonzola and pickled pears (pictured) and my husband had the aubergine dish. Both were absolutely delicious with tastes and flavours we've never experienced before. I had the Passimiento wine which was extraordinarily tasty and we finished our meal off with some gorgeous ice cream! The service from Stuart, was fantastic: friendly, personal, relaxed and professional. We were celebrating our anniversary and this meal made it very special. Highly recommended!!!

Every now and again you go for a meal and everything is just right ….. after dropping our daughter off at Manchester airport we were heading into Altrincham for a bite to eat, we had planned on a tapas but when we saw Rigatoni’s and their delicious looking menu we knew this was the one, and we were absolutely right!!!! From the warm welcome we received from the manager, who found us a lovely table outside under the heaters, such cosy spot….the food speaks for itself, a small but perfectly formed menu which to us means fresh food, it was just so delicious, we opted for the seafood and the signature rags, both absolutely delicious, we had skipped a started and opted for dessert and we were not disappointed…the treacle and apple pie really was one of the nicest desserts we have eaten in a long time…. Not too sweet just incredibly flavoursome… we finished with a coffee and limoncello!!!! Simply divine 😋…. What adds to the great food is the fabulous service, so welcoming and you know how much it means to these guys when like us you leave feeling so happy…. Cannot wait to go back 😊

Gharrana - Indian Kitchen and Bar Altrincham

9 Goose Grn, Altrincham WA14 1DW, UK

4.9 (185 reviews)

P: 0161 603 3719

It's a small cozy restaurant, and we were able to book for the day after Valentine's day at short notice. The curry was slow cooked, and richly flavoured, with just enough heat to be really interesting, but not too much. The decor was interesting. The music was fine but was on a loop, which got a little bit annoying after a while, so only 4 stars for atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic food being served here. I really hope it picks up for them as it was quiet when we went (it was a Wednesday though, so hopefully they get more at weekends). I would really encourage people to come here as the food is really great and authentic. The grilled lamb chops and chicken tikka were beautiful. Keep it up guys!

Second time trying the food here, this time as a takeaway but still exceptional quality and service. Indian food with an interesting edge; I'd say by far the best I've had in the area. Very well priced for the quality you're getting. Definitely our go-to spot from now on.

We decided to try here as the menu looked nice, and it was a relatively new place. Service was fantastic the lady serving us was really friendly and was very responsive in her service, attentive and ensured to check in that we had everything we needed. We ordered the platter to start and then 2 curries for mains. The lamp chops on the platter were one of the best I have had, lamb was very tender and not chewy. It was our first time trying the cottage cheese tikka, this was really tasty and will definitely get this again. Flavour was nice on the curry's, the lamb gosht was tasty I would say the sauce was very gravy like on this. We also had a chicken curry, the flavour was lovely however felt the portion of chicken was on the smaller size. Overall really tasty and wpuld definitely recommend! The staff work really hard and it pays off.

Lovely family restaurant in the heart of Altrincham. The flavours of all dishes are different to those experienced in other south Asian restaurants. Small menu but that’s just how I like it. Standout for me were the lamb chops. I really hope the restaurant does well as it deserves to be a core part of our local dining scene. Thank you Deepak for a lovely evening.

We've used Simon for two jobs now, to fit a bathroom fan and a new kitchen hob (in both cases, fixing cowboy work done by the previous owners). Each time they've been responsive and helpful when we reached out, turned up on time and done a good job for a good price. Cannot recommend enough!

I cannot recommend highly enough. From Louise who took the initial call, Simon who came same day to assess the emergency and then to fixing and installing a new fuse box so everything was up to code within a matter of days. Both Simon and Louise are professional, efficient and friendly with courtesy messages about arrival times and all the work carried out cleanly and expeditiously. I won’t hesitate to use for any future electrical work need. Thank you again!

Fantastic service. Following our phone call, Simon came over the next day. The work was completed four days later. James and Ade were really efficient, polite and cleaned up after the work was finished. Price very fair too. Would definitely recommend to others and will use them again.

Not the cheapest but did a first class job. Good communication, arrived bang on time. Removed old fuse box and fitted new consumer unit. Also swapped a light switch and found an issue but spent time to figure out the problem and find a fix. Recommended.

Superb service. Great communication - quick and responsive to help with a quote, clear on availability options and turned up exactly when said. Work was exceptional. The team were quick, tidy and clear on what would be done. Really pleased with the outside socket fitted and zero mess or signs they were here. Would highly recommend.

Been a regular customer of Otters in a Pot because we loved the authenticity of the Taiwanese bubble tea there. When we found that they offer meal deals recently, we immediately went for a try and the food were scrumptious and value for money! We ordered the minced pork rice, fried chicken noodles and the Hong Kong French toast. Can’t fault and highly recommend!

Cute family-run cafe serving a variety of East Asian snacks and drinks including boba tea and coffees with various toppings. Good value set meals for lunch. Came on a quiet Thursday afternoon and the food came quick. The takoyaki was tasty, will try a combo set with friends next time. The hot dogs were quite filling, they serve them cold due to the special mayonnaise topping. They also have a small collection of classic manga to read here. Will be back especially if they keep the prices this reasonable!

Great bubble tea store! The popping boba has so much flavour! I was a bit confused with the menu, the drink had a strong sweet tea taste when some fruit teas from other places don’t have this taste. And there was lots of foam after I had finished it. And the ice stopped me from getting the boba at the end even though I had less ice. It was still really good, would come again :)

Josh did a great job to a very high standard and worked around various complexities. He installed two new ceiling lights and wired and installed an outside light. There were issues with the wiring and the fittings previously done however he was able to rewire and refit the fittings so the electrics are now safer.

Highly recommend Josh. Mine was a small job for an electrician (but not one I wanted to attempt myself) and Josh kindly fit it in at the end of his day which was much appreciated. He was quick to respond and kept me updated with his arrival time. Very pleasant and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him again in future. Thanks Josh!

Josh is an excellent electrician. I cannot praise him enough. A hard worker, talks to you everything step by step and extremely personable and polite too. He has previously added new plug sockets, plastered up too to fill in part of the channel he created, not many electricians would do this. He closed up some cabling and again plastered up the small remaining hole. He also removed old light fittings and replaced with new. I cannot recommend Josh highly enough. One of the best days when a friend Paul recommended him.

Josh is a competent and skilled electrician who is also a great general handyman and has done lots of work for me, including moving lighting, removing old sockets and building furniture. Would highly recommend.

Having not lived in Altrincham for 20 years, I didn’t really know where to start with arranging a baby shower for my childhood best friend, but from the moment I spoke to Leeanne I knew it was going to be perfect. She went out of her way to help me organise the perfect afternoon tea from 100 miles away, responding to messages at all hours, taking in deliveries of decorations & games & catering for all our individual dietary requirements & preferences. All the food was delicious & the attention to detail was amazing, including the beautiful favours made by Leeanne’s mum. We all thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you!! Anyone looking for a venue for a babyshower, hen do or special birthday party will not find a better place or host I guarantee.

Visited Owen’s Kitchen this week with two friends. Loved this place when it was Amba and it’s nice to see that the atmosphere on first visit feels similar. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We were able to taste the red wine we fancied before deciding. The service we received was excellent. The menu is small compared to some places but consider this to be a good thing, hopefully means everything is freshly cooked and not defrosted! My only complaint on my visit would be the pork medallions I chose were not as ‘melt in the mouth’ as I had hoped they would be but the rest of the meal, gnocchi, leeks and sauce were delish! We finished with the ‘Port Flight’ and said we thought it would be a good idea to have a cheese board available to go with it. After speaking with the chef a cheese board was served with our port, four different cheeses, chutney, melon and various biscuits/breads. Fab! Will definitely be returning.

Visited for the first time for early Sunday evening Roast, and it did not disappoint. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The portions were extremely generous and every bit of the meal was delicious. The only down side was that we were so full, we couldn’t try the desserts on offer 🥲 We are regularly disappointed by Sunday roasts in restaurants, but this was by far the best we have had . Will definitely return and leave room for dessert next time .

We visited Owen’s Kitchen on a Saturday night on their first weekend of service and it was fantastic! The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, was great to see it so busy considering they’ve only just opened :) The service we received was brilliant, super friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t eat gluten and they were really helpful as to what adjustments could be made to dishes, meaning I could choose almost anything on the menu! The food itself was delicious and extremely reasonably priced considering the quality and the size of the dishes. All in all a great experience and we can’t wait to come back and try all the other dishes on the menu!
