1. Harry Ramsden’s Castlemore Retail Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 359 reviews
Reviewed By sjb90 - Manchester, United Kingdom
This is the best branch of Harry Ramsden's that I've visited -- and handily (or dangerously!) it's just down the road from where I live.
I've never sat in the restaurant, but pop into the takeaway section about once a week. Their food is cooked really well, the shop is always spotless even on the busiest of days, and the people who work there are friendly and efficient.
As another reviewer says below, Diane and Dan in particular make a great team, and are a real credit to the business.
2. Las Iguanas - Trafford Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 737 reviews
Walk through the doors of Las Iguanas and find yourself transported to Latin America, full of rich, vibrant colours, quirky features and custom-made wooden mosaic tables made especially for the restaurant from sustainable woods in Brazil. Each restaurant is unique and the staff love bringing unusual things back from their travels, ranging from large lobster sculptures to giant drums. The philosophy of Las Iguanas is to serve delicious and authentic Latin American food and drink in an environment which evokes the very best of Latin life. With recipes dating back to the 16th century, the food successfully fuses native Latin American Indian, Spanish, Portuguese and African influences. Working hard to ensure that everything comes from the best possible source, Las Iguanas is proud of its fresh GM free food and top quality ingredients.

Really nice restaurant on the ground floor of the food hall. Food is an eclectic mix of their version of South American tapas and standard Mexican dishes, nearly all having a veggie option, so good news. The staff are very enthusiastic, explaining the dishes and recommending cocktails. Admittedly, it was a Wednesday lunchtime so the restaurant wasn’t overly busy, but it was nice that the staff were so attentive. Cocktails were on offer at 2 for the price of 1, which made the whole experience even better. Portion sizes were big enough to allow sharing and all arrived in good time to be enjoyed together. Well done, it was great, we will be back soon.
3. Carluccio's - Trafford Centre

Reviewed By Claudia S - Manchester, United Kingdom
I've visited here 2 times and sent food back on both occasions.
I have ordered the Bruschetta which was terribly dry, the pate which was awful in taste, the beef ragu linguine which was very bland with overcooked pasta. I could go on, however the point is the food here needs addressing and is no way representative of authentic Italian food. The food I have not sent back was only out of giving up and taking pity on the waiting staff.
I do like Italian food however this far from representative of what to expect at an Italian restaurant.
It is fair to say I will not be returning.
4. Fat Loaf
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 193 reviews
The Fat Loaf restaurant in Sale is an absolute find and a local favourite. The brainchild of chefs Paul Taylor and Tim Wood who trained under Michelin-starred Marco Pierre White at the Lowry, The Fat Loaf is a brilliant bistro. The open kitchen lets you watch them work. Sourcing is taken seriously – local wherever possible, excellent at all times. The menu is modern European prepared with imagination and flair. It’s perfectly set in a storefront restaurant with slate floors, white chairs, neutrally coloured walls and an array of art photography on display. Formerly a bring-your-own-wine place, The Fat Loaf now offers a short, thoughtful, international wines list at prices so reasonable you’ll have to blink

I do enjoy a classic dinner at the Fat Loaf. It’s near where I live, so it’s only a quick stroll, and also the staff are always very friendly and helpful. The menu is fabulous but the service could have been a bit quicker. The scenery is great and I enjoyed the food. Ultimately, it was a great meal and I would recommend this place to a friend

7. Adrak Urmston

Reviewed By imtiaz2017 - Manchester, United Kingdom
My first impressions was that I liked the nice contemporary décor, the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. There was plenty of relaxed chatter to be heard, which I take to be a good sign, as opposed to people sitting quietly rueing their choice of venue for the night!
The Seating plan was well laid out, considering the limited space. I found the restaurant to be very clean and tidy throughout.
Found all the waiters and staff were friendly and helpful.
Every customer was warmly greeted and they reciprocated in likewise fashion, thereby giving the impression that they were regular, returning customers.
There was an extensive selection of tasty sounding dishes to choose from.
For starters you must try the nice condiments with popadoms. Watch out for the spicy one ! - have a cold drink handy !!
For mains, we ordered Lamb Lai Deghi + Adrak Sobjee Special dish.
Watch out for the hot green chillies hiding in the the sauce with the vegetables !
Have a topped up cold drink handy !!
Ordered Peshwari Naans with the dishes, they contained a lovely sweet tasting Almond and Coconut paste filling.
The perfectly cooked tender lamb and sobjee (vegetables) dishes were well presented and full of flavour. Found downstairs to be a little noisy for our liking, therefore we asked to be reseated elsewhere. The staff were very accommodating.
The Seating area upstairs is an ideal space for large group bookings.
After initial visit, I'm sure that you will want to return to try out the other dishes on offer.
There was plenty of car parking space nearby.

A speciality tea and coffee shop
Reviewed By julieslamon - Manchester, United Kingdom
Just got back from here after having afternoon tea with family and friends. Rate scoring not high enough for this small independent coffee/ tea shop.
Beautiful selection of sandwiches and pastries and the most gorgeous cakes brought out to us along with a salad bowl, followed by enormous citrus muffins and also scones jam cream and strawberries (which we couldn't eat as we were too full). All was washed down with juice and two pots of specialty tea each.
What we couldn't eat was boxed up for us to bring home.
Have to book with 24 hours notice but well worth the wait.
Fabulous staff (Gina and her son Jamie) can't do enough for you.
Stunning food and four extremely happy customers who will return again and again.
