I recently chose Bardez to cater for my son’s engagement party. On meeting Marcus I knew he was passionate about food, and took a lot of pride in his food but could he cater for my needs. I met up with Marcus and we went through all the options and chose what we wanted. I also said to him that as you know south Asian parties no one cares about the venue, how much you paid for decor it’s all about the food, which he totally understood and said that I had nothing to worry about so I took the leap of faith and booked him. I have never come across anyone as professional, passionate, as Marcus when it came to food. On the day of the event he was there at the time he said and Marcus and the team got to work. From the moment of meeting him to go through the options to the event Marcus kept his promise. The food was absolutely amazing, everyone complemented the food and went back for seconds. Even the elders who are very particular praised how nice the food was. Not only was the food amazing, Marcus made the effort with the party guests, spoke to everyone and helped his waiting staff. Even the kitchen staff at the venue praised Marcus and his staff on how well he worked in the kitchen and was very respectful that it was someone else’s kitchen and didn’t get in the way. If anyone has any doubts honestly put them aside and get booking. All my events going forward will be catered for by Marcus and the team at Bardez. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Marcus you are absolutely amazing and you and the team made my son’s engagement. Thank you so much

I have visited this restaurant four times in the past two months. After trying the slow-cooked braised lamb for the first time, I was eager to return for more. The lamb was incredibly tender, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Although I would have preferred it a bit spicier, it was still exceptionally delicious. At first, I wasn’t very familiar with Indian cuisine and felt unsure about what to order. However, over time, I’ve become more knowledgeable and confident in my choices. I’ve even started bringing my friends along to share the experience. Just a few days ago, I took a friend who had previously expressed a dislike for Indian food. I was quite worried that the dishes wouldn’t suit her taste. To my pleasant surprise, she found the meal delightful and mentioned that she had never realized how tasty Indian cuisine could be. It seems that her earlier aversion was simply due to not knowing what to order. This restaurant has certainly changed her perception, and she is now eager to explore more Indian dishes. Overall, the consistent quality and flavors of this place have made it a favorite of mine

Went here for Dad’s 70th Birthday, ordered lamb shank biryani and rogan josh and its the absolute best we’ve ever had in Manchester. Came 30 mins early and got our tables ready, service is top notch, one of the best restaurant we’ve been to so far in Manchester. Trust me, my husband has been a chef for 15 years and we all loved the food there!! 100/10 can’t recommend enough!!

Visited last night and the food has its ups and downs. The pani puri shots were amazing and a real treat but that's where the amazement stopped. For starters The lollipop chicken was nice but some of the skin was still slimy so had to eat around it. The chilli prawns were well and truly overcooked into a mush with batter. The mancunian chicken was ok. For main the food was average and required salt which I asked for and they obliged. We had the aubergine curry which was nice but for kids the chicken passanda was nice looking but very sweet. The breyani looked fantastic but again needed salt however I'll defend the lamb breyani because I brought more than half of it home and today it tasted amazing (with a pince of salt). The drinks are over priced for the size on offer. The service was good. Would I go again? Yes but I'm taking salt along with me and ordering tonnes of pani puri

Called at lunchtime today at this clean and tidy establishment. Starters of Chicken Manchurian was excellent, full of flavour, and the chilli garlic Mogo was tasty too. Chicken tikka was good, pilau rice ok, garlic naan a little dry and lacking. The lamb saag was full of flavour but could have been a little more tender, although winter lamb does tend to be this way to be fair. The cost is a little higher than we are used to in Yorkshire. The service was fantastic.
