The Best Restaurants in Leigh, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Ordered here for the first time today, both me and my husband got beef brisket ramen and it was nice. The only downfall was that on their website where I placed the order, there was no description as to what was in the dish. It was full of spring onions and dried onions (both of which I don’t like) and if I had known this I certainly wouldn’t have ordered this dish. Overall it was still warm when it was delivered and the taste was very nice.

Amazing food....I was about to venture out to Miller and Carter when I happened upon this takeaway. The food was 10/10, I had the squid for starters and beef ramen, couldn't fault anything. Finished off with a brownie and ice cream. Credit where its due, one of the best takeaways I've had ever. When I visit work site next time I'll definitely be repeating my order.

I highly recommend the wild grill... I always have the salt and pepper squid starter and the beef brisket ramen bowl... and it is always top quality, piping hot and delicious fresh food. They have an open kitchen so you can watch them cook your food fresh. The staff are so friendly and will always have a chat with you. By far the best takeaway in leigh for me 👍

This is the best place in Leigh for food, it’s all cooked in front of you. From burgers, steak to katsu curry and rice bowls. I’ve been coming here for two years and it’s always 5 star.

My first visit and it was absolutely gorgeous! Had an amazing brunch with babies and prams. I felt very welcome and the food was amazing. Xx

The food here is amazing. The service is friendly and professional. Had afternoon tea here yesterday and was delicious. My friend has a wheat intolerance and they couldn’t do enough. Her afternoon tea was the best she’s ever had. So nice to have such a quality place in Leigh. Can’t recommend enough.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and breakfast was cooked to perfection. The coffee was also excellent.

Words cannot describe how good the eggs Benedict is here. The pancakes are out of this world so soft and fluffy like you see in the movies! Highly recommend if you find the time 👍

This was genuinely the best tasting Turkish/Mediterranean Restaurant I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The waitress gave recommendations and was super friendly. In terms of atmosphere/cleanliness the restaurant was also spot on. Most importantly, the food was exquisite. It tasted hearty, homemade and fresh.

I took my sister here for her birthday for the lunch special! Firstly the 2 courses for 12.99 was a bargain. The food itself was delicious. I had the moussaka and it was so tasty and a good portion size for a lunch special. I would highly recommend! We will definitely be back soon.

Great little Turkish restaurant, nothing to fancy but well cooked food and that was really tasty. My boys loved their mixed grill. Went for the wine from Turkey , young and fresh and a nice little drink. Best Turkish restaurant I've been to in the Southend area over the last few years. Only downside was the panacotta just a bit to firm. Would highly recommend.

My partner and I visited on Sunday evening for the 2nd time. We were greeted with smiles by Katie and sat down at our new favourite table. Katie & Hekim were very attentive all evening, whilst we enjoyed a beautiful 3 course meal and cocktails. Can’t fault the food. I’ve had the mixed meat grill the first time & a mixed seafood grill the second time. I can’t wait to visit again in a few weeks to try the casserole! We have been very well looked after by all the staff, particularly Ismail, the owner. Would highly recommend, but would advise you book in advance as space is limited & gets busy quick!

The experience was superb for us…it was home away from home with tasty meals and the service was top notch…definitely addicted to this place 💯🥰🥰

I would definitely come back again and recommend it to my friends anyone Excellent service and food, which are so mouth-watering

Nice African mouth watering food,they offer a good range of cocktails also very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere .

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Eko restaurant and bar, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that set the perfect mood for a relaxing evening. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that our experience was top-notch from start to finish. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, showcasing both creativity and quality. I tried the signature appetizer, which was bursting with flavor, and the main course was cooked to perfection. Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill and passion for food. The cocktail selection was equally impressive, with unique concoctions that perfectly complemented our meals. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and bar to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Whether you're out for a casual night with friends or a special occasion, this place has something for everyone. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Yesterday, I tried their amiss Daisy Burger and it is nothing like you see in normal take away shops. One of best burgers I have eat in my life. Return following day to try different burger on menu. Thank you for this amazing food.

I phoned Wild Flame and ordered 2 meals for takeaway in which I collected within 20 minutes of calling I got The Cassanova and The Mama Mia. I had the Mama Mia and the burger was juicy, tasty and above my expectations the only let down was the fries as I found some of them a little undercooked but the seasoning was lovely so this is the reason I given my meal 4 out of 5 stars. If the chips were cooked fully it would have achieved a full 5 other than that I will definitely buy from Wild Flame in future due to the excellent friendly service and the lovely burger which I will 110% order again

Went to try for first time and ordered the munchbox 3 both me and my partner were impressed with the presentation and taste of the food, the service was brilliant and fast, will definitely go again!!

Don't go in here nearly as much as we should. We're local, but not born in Leigh so sometimes it feels awkward in certain places, but not here! People are so friendly! Great atmosphere, we have a very big dog and she was welcomed in too by the staff and customers. Really enjoyed our drinks. Hope to see you all soon 😊

29th JANUARY 2025. ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took Hubster Neil and I to an absolute diamond of a hidden gem….. ‘The Nevison Country Inn’ which is in Leigh, it’s an old untouched Country pub, not many of them left and it like a pub should be, locals stood at the bar and very welcoming.….. I was a little dubious at first looking on their website because of the low prices, in comparison to other pubs and restaurants that we have visited previously….. I was TOTALLY wrong…. The food was out of this World, EVERYTHING served in this little Gem is all homemade and you can really tell the difference, they were the best ‘proper’ chips we’ve ever had and they tasted exactly like my Nanna Smyth used to make….. I’ve found the next best to her chips and that’s saying something🥰. We went straight to entrées; We both had the same: ‘Brown Cow Pie’, with proper chips, the veg was cabbage and sliced carrots, both cooked perfectly al dente. The Pie was packed with thick chunks of braised steak, it fell apart, so lean, no fat at all and it literally melted in your mouth, covered in thick rich gravy and covered with a beautiful short crust pastry top….the plates were full of generous portions. We had a bucket of salt and pepper proper chips to share, along with Pepsi Max to wash it down. The two young Ladies serving us, Milan and Sienna were professional, had impeccable manners, they were rushed off their feet as it was lunchtime but always had a smile, they definitely know their jobs and do it very well. Behind the scenes is a very big thank you to the chefs….. your food is amazing, no room for improvement as it’s already perfect. We have found this hidden gem and will be back very soon, I would strongly recommend you book a table beforehand as the place was full within 10 minutes of us being seated…. It’s up there in our top 5…. So! would we go back?? Without a doubt YES, YES…

Good home cooked food at very reasonable prices, friendly staff and a classic pub layout and decor. I must have eaten here 20 times and never been disappointed. I bring friends and family to visit the Nevison whenever I'm in the area. Lovely big beer garden too when the weather's nice. Definitely one of my absolute favourite pubs and I've been to a few.

Just wanted to leave a review to focus on an amazing staff member! Kim is amazing! Always welcoming with a smile and incredibly helpful. She consistently goes the extra mile to ensure a great experience every time I visit the Bowling Green. The food is always fantastic, and it’s the perfect spot to come after work for delicious meals and drinks. Such a great atmosphere!

Stopped for some impromptu food, with no prior knowledge. All I can say is wow! I had the lamb and mint pie. Simply stunning and well worth the calories. My wife had the Cajun chicken and that was awesome. For the money, we had a great feed. We were not local, but felt really welcomed. All I can say is BOOM and try the pie!!

Good food well priced and friendly service

Went here for the fist time yesterday and so happy with the food and value for money. The set menu had a great choice and was delicious! Highly recommend 🤗

Visited on a Thursday evening for my father’s birthday. Unfortunately there was some kind of fund raising event going on that we weren’t informed about so the restaurant was completely packed and very loud. Absolutely no problem with people raising money for good causes but we would have picked another venue to have a quiet birthday meal, had we been warned beforehand. That being said, the service was still fine, although the mains took a long time to come out, but the food was excellent. We had the Tempura Pork Belly and the Goats Cheese and Beetroot tart to start, both were very good. For mains my father had the lamb shank which he very much enjoyed. My partner had the duck breast on the bed of noodles which, although looked rather bland in its presentation, I’m assured was delicious. I went for the Sirloin steak which was cooked the way I wanted and very generously portioned and was served with a superb peppercorn sauce. My favourite part of the meal though was undoubtedly the dessert! The Belgian waffle with ice cream was amazing, can’t recommend it highly enough. Good food and reasonably priced. We will certainly visit again but hopefully on a quieter evening.

Went to Leigh Bistro for my birthday dinner. Food was absolutely amazing. Charming service, can’t wait to return!

Leigh Bistro is an absolute gem in Leigh-on-Sea! This family-run restaurant offers an authentic Mediterranean dining experience with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the perfectly seasoned dishes to the generous portions, you can really taste the love and passion that goes into every meal. The service is just as wonderful, with the family making you feel like a valued guest. If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a cozy and friendly setting, Leigh Bistro is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

First visit, lunchtime, very impressed very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, really enjoyed our meal just found my main a little salty but that's down to personal taste. A little quiet for a Friday I was surprised it wasn't a little busier. Nice ambience, music on but at a nice volume so you can have a conversation. I would recommend without hesitation. However, having family members who are vegetarian I noticed that there isn't much choice on the menu. Maybe worth checking if you plan a visit that there is something to suit your taste.

It's a great place to eat, if you like Italian food, you won't be disappointed. Friendly service on the top of everything. Will come back again for sure.

Always excellent food, very welcoming and comfortable. The staff are all friendly. Quick service. Can definitely recommend

As this was our first visit, we decided to try the Early Bird Menu (5-6pm, Tue-Fri) of three courses for £26.85 per person and a bottle of house red wine £19.95. The food was absolutely delicious and good portion sizes. I initially thought the price for the house red wine was a little expensive. However, it was very good. The staff were very polite and attentive and we weren't rushed at all. We will definitely be going back.

Most amazing authentic Okro soup I have had in years . The food we had felt like home, and for us that was everything . Surely found my new fav Nigerian restaurant

Very fresh and delicious food, friendly and warm service and an authentic atmosphere - visitng the restaurant was a real experience! I love Taste Africana Restaurant and I will be back soon!

An amazing experience, thank you Taste Africana!!!! A wonderful introduction to African food, we had a tour around the menu, my husband eats fish and I'm a veggie, plenty of delicious options for us both. The meal was absolutely delicious! Fab music in the background and lovely company. We were even introduced to an African board game which was loads of fun! We will be back! Thank you again, a great evening! A must, very highly recommended!

If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would! I travel an hour just to enjoy their food, and it’s worth every mile. Their Nkwobi, Isiewu and pepper soup are simply the best I’ve ever had—flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. Not only is the food top-notch in both quantity and quality, but the prices are also incredibly reasonable. You get amazing value for your money, which is rare these days. What truly sets this restaurant apart, though, is their exceptional customer service. The staff is warm, welcoming, and always ensures that every customer leaves satisfied. It feels like home every time I visit. If you love authentic, delicious food and outstanding service, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly enjoyable dining experience!
