I was worried they day before the booking when I read a negative comment. But when I walked into the restaurant, all my worries vanished. The warm and welcoming atmosphere behind the door curtains, the high quality foods they offered, and the heartfelt services they provided, all impressed us. I highly recommend Sparrows to someone who want to have a decent gathering with friends, or to someone who is seeking for a nice place for anniversaries.

A beautiful meal and great service! A visit for 2 for 3pm on a Saturday, booked a few weeks in advance and a £20 deposit paid. Parked for free at the back near the bakery. Arrived 15 mins early and were seated whilst our table was prepared, the wait for this was only a few minutes. Taken to out table and water preference taken, then a server came over to ask if been before (my broth had) but guided us in how to order, make some recommendations and told us the specials. Really useful advice in regards to quantity of what to order for 2 and was then left to decide what food to order whilst water was poured and other drinks order was taken. We ended up ordering 4 dishes and a side and then a dessert each but we shared all the food. The food was delicious, really tasty and fresh, highlights were the Pelmeni and the spatzle with sage and butter sauce, so good! The staff were very attentive but too much, atmosphere was good as it was busy but not too crowded or rushed. Did order 2 desserts (Panna Cotta and the cinnamon brown sugar butter spatzle) but ate it too quickly before getting a picture! Highly recommend!

I'll start this with how I usually end good ratings. 6 stars. Now we are past that, yes, it does live up to what you have heard. Every aspect of food, service, and atmosphere gets a tick. The food options speak for themselves, but I do believe the ambience they have been able to build and sustain to match the food offering is what will keep them popular for a long time to come. Add this to your must try list and no reservation, no party I'm afraid so get there early!

Absolutely loved our dinner here. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and above all amazing food! Can’t find a single fault and can’t wait to go back the next time we’re in Manchester.

Amazing food and great attentive staff. I have been twice now and it has not disappointed any way. The choice on the menu is a fantastic and the food is so good. The staff are so good at what they do and make you feel so welcome and are happy to help you through the menu and the drinks.
