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

I have loved in Japan for few years, and travelled around the world. I have to admit bello's kitchen is on top of my list. Great people and great atmosphere. Will definitely come back for some more. May Allah bless them.

A bit overpriced but not bad. Meat was tender. Rice was well seasoned and fluffy. Salad was nice and simple. The interior design can do with a little upgrade/renovation. May be a problem with seating at peak times but it was almost empty on my visit so had no issues.

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

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

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!!

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

Tastiest goat curry i’ve had, would come back to manchester just for this food alone! Really good potions and flavour, fast service.

Exceptional jerk chicken. I cannot believe I haven't been before. I always went past and said it smelled amazing but never managed to get there as it isn't on route to anything - other than on voting day. The rice was also really really great not dry not stodgy it was fluffy and separate and I don't know how you managed to make it taste that good. Chicken cooked perfectly and yet still so tender and done on a grill mad skills. The jerk sauce was hot but consistent and didn't build to painful just stayed brilliantly zingy levels of spice. Not to sweet not too salty not too acidic. Just an Exceptional balance of flavours. Mad skills. Curry goat was really good. But the jerk chicken was award winning in my opinion. Will be back. Soon.

Tried for the first time yesterday. Me and my friend shared a feast and I was impressed at how tasty every item was, as well as fresh and good quality! The jerk chicken, hot pepper prawns, fried chicken and oxtail were so nice and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and one of the gents on the hig smoky bbq at the front, even came in and asked how the food was, once we've finished. All round 5 star! 😋

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt very welcomed by the staff and ambience! Definitely suggesting sitting at the kitchen bar if you would like to chat with some great chefs. The scallop and tomatoes were a standout for us, unreal. The wine list was really approachable with some good natural gems. Every dish was explained perfectly, and having chefs drop dishes was a great touch. Chef Max made the experience one of the best we've had in England with some great conversation. We will be definetly be back and spread the word!

Arrived during lunch hour and it was no problem to have lunch without a reservation. Very friendly and professional staff. The have a nice selection of wine by the glass and the bottle selection is also really good. Foodwise I can say that every dish had wonderfully balanced ingredients of high quality. Some of the dishes (artichoke and cabbage with mussels) were magnificent. A must visit when you want wine and dine on a high level in Manchester.

Still my favourite place in Manchester. From the hospitality and welcome to the absolutely incredible food! Complex but approachable cooking with sauces to die for. Each dish is immaculate and full of flavour with superb presentation. The guys here are just going from strength to strength, every visit they somehow keep getting better. Inventive drinks offering with local suppliers and natural wines. Front of house is relaxed and attentive but the stars of the show are Julian and Max the chef/owners whose welcome and conversation is the best you will get anywhere in the city. Wether it’s on the chefs table or being served one of their dishes they truly make every meal a special occasion. Absolutely loving what these guys are doing and with the challenges of the venue size they are smashing it out the park. Go and visit Exhibition too in Manchester where they have a kitchen serving incredible flatbread based dishes called Jaan.

For only a small restaurant this place packs a punch. They made my partners 40th such a special experience and looked after us so well. With gorgeous seasonal food that is so intricately put together I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Blacklock…what a fantastic restaurant, I have only just left and I am already planning when I can come again! This restaurant is slightly hidden on entry, you need to go down a set of stairs to get into it but you go down into the restaurant to lovely ambient lighting and modern decor. Our waiter for the evening Peter couldn’t have been anymore accommodating, so incredibly welcoming and attentive all evening. Myself and my friends all got the fillet steak with the chop sauce and beef dripping chips which were amazing! We tried the walnut and broccoli salad as well which was lovely too. After our mains we decided to try the desserts and I had the white chocolate cheesecake which was delicious. The whole evening all the food was fantastic, the atmosphere was delightful and our waiter Peter couldn’t have been more helpful. Highly recommend ! Will definitely be back for more.

The place was superb, high quality meat and reasonable prices. The vibe was also very nice. I highly recommend it for meat lovers. We ordered the medium-rare sirloin steak. Service was excellent. Reservations needed.

We ordered the all-in as we wanted to try all kinds of meat offered by the restaurant. We really loved it, especially the pork and the lamb! The meat were cooked just right, not too well-done, and they were so juicy! There’s gravy as the sauce and it was enough, no need to order extra sauces! For the sides, would definitely recommend the fries as they are just freshly fried. The major highlight of the visit was the birthday surprise they’ve given me. It’s the famous white chocolate cheesecake! The white chocolate neutralizes the cheese, making me wanting to eat more and more. Thank you Blacklock for making my birthday a special one.

The steak was excellent perfect so much better than hawksmore we had a 750gram prime rib the fries were tasty the sweet potato great and broccoli salad amazing. Mushroom on toast lacked seasoning The Barman was very knowledgeable and our waiter was excellent Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great steak.

Excellent presentation with nice open vibes. The food is the definition of perfect

Great tasting food and that's that! Lamb Shawarma is so delish!!

Got a chicken schwarma, with a can 5.50 , bossman used wraps but smears meat juice on em and grills em so theyre robust, soft and crispy. This is on par with leve b a star . Food really tasty. And was quiet too . You know you've had a good schwarma when your have little meaty burps afterwards and you can still taste the chicken😁

The customer Service is top Notch 👌 the restaurant is clean place nice music the guy working there are very friendly . I ordered a Lamb shwarma and honestly it's been the nicest iv had the lamb was fresh and delicious 😋 I definitely recommend

We ordererd a teapot including black tea, cinnamon, and mint and it was perfect. Loved the taste. Also, the price of the teapot was very good.

"I recently dined at Marsa Cafe , located in Manchester in princess Road . The service was exceptional; the staff was attentive and made great menu recommendations. The food was outstanding - I particularly enjoyed the [mugalgal lamb dish], which was bursting with flavor. The menu offered a wide variety of options to suit different tastes, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service. The cozy ambiance added to the overall dining experience, and I appreciated the restaurant's commitment to cleanliness. Adding a coffee taste that takes you to another world ,I highly recommend Marsa Cafe for a memorable dining experience."

Small little cafe serving the local community there. Food was good and cheap. Would visit again.

Delicious food and very friendly customer service, oh my favourite habasha coffee 10/10

We were initially drawn to the restaurant by its impressive exterior, and once inside, we were delighted by the stunning ambiance. While the staff were polite, they didn’t come across as particularly warm, though they were still accommodating. The food was decent, though not extraordinary. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we received a complimentary cake after our meal, which was a thoughtful touch and appreciated for the occasion. The restroom, located upstairs, was beautifully decorated, adding to the overall charm of the place. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, with a few small areas for improvement in service, but the hospitality and atmosphere made it memorable.

Had the most delightful Sunday brunch here! Greeted warmly by the Roof Terrace hostess, set the scene for a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was exceptional, really delicious , which combined with 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 attentive service from George, made for a most enjoyable and sociable Sunday! Highly recommended! 👌👍😋💋xx

Fantastic from start to finish. From the food which was faultless & very reasonably priced for the quality. The staff which are so friendly & welcoming, from the 2 gentleman at the door when you enter, welcoming staff front of house & servers, all are friendly & do what they can to make your visit as perfect as possible, especially a tall guy called Miltos. If you want a 5* experience at an average price, you will not be disappointed

I have visited The Ivy Spinningfields Manchester multiple times, and it remains one of my favorite spots. The service is always consistent, and the staff are welcoming and professional. The restaurant is well-known for its excellent reputation and elegant atmosphere. Their desserts are both luxurious and delicious. Their afternoon tea is among the best I’ve ever had. This place is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Had the mixed platter and chicken fillet burger meals, were better than I expected. However the chicken fillet burger and a sauce that tasted very perfumy. The burger was nice but it wouldve been better without that particular sauce. The mixed grill was really nice, lamb chops were excellent. Really enjoyed them. It had chicken wings, the kebabs were also tasty.

Visited this place cause it was the only restaurant in Curry Mile having 10k+ ratings. We had the mutton curry with naan which was good and worth the price. But the Malai Chicken Tikka was not at all worth the price. It was a scam. The number of pieces they gave for the price was too less. Nevertheless, the overall experience was nice and the waiters were helpful. Would recommend it.

Dishes were really good and brother Nadeem took good care of us. Twice we were asked if we needed anything and if everything was okay. Food didn’t take long to be served. Enjoyed it! Only downside was that we expected more quantity for the price we paid.
