Food Scene

Great place for a cheap Kebab or Shawarma. Definitely good value for money. It is located in the Curry Mile. The decor isn't anything special but food is good and cheap.

One of the best restaurants in Manchester for American Food. Amazing, quirky decor, music and staff. The burgers and ribs are mouth-watering. Ale selection is great too. I give it five stars.

Been to Teacup a fair amount of times now over the last year and I can say it's one of the best cake places in Mcr. They serve fantastic brunch as well, poached eggs & smoked salmon are my favourite.

This place is a lovely little hidden gem for those who love craft beer. This pub/bar stocks about 20+ different types of craft beer selections at once. The best part is that they are constantly changing them. So if you love a good IPA, Pale Ale or are really into your Weiss and Wit beer, this place is definitely a must.
