"Tried this place last night with my family. We used to order from here and I remember the food being really nice. I wasn't disappointed, we ordered Sheek Kebab and Chicken Pakora for our starters and for the mains we ordered Lamb Bhuna, Chilli Chicken Masala and a Chicken Jalfrezi. We also got 2 Garlic Naan and 2 Pilau rice. The portions were a good size for the price and our party of 5 was more than stuffed by the end of it. The naan is massive so we had a bit left over. There were some instances where we had to wait for things like menu's after being seated, the bill when we finished and the card reader after getting the bill. Other than that our server was very polite and helpful. He was kind enough to give us Poppadoms on the house which was sweet. The place is pretty small with maybe about 6 tables but I thought it was rather cosy. Would definitely recommend."

"Our previous regular had become increasingly more expensive yet increasingly more hit and miss for quality of the meals so we decided to try this one after reading other reviews and we are so glad we did! The portion sizes are great, it’s really good value for money, the dishes are really tasty, and staff have always been friendly. The prawn crackers and light are fresh tasting, salt are pepper chips great and the sweet and sour chicken and crispy shredded chicken in Cantonese sauce are some of our favourites. Not forgetting the Pekin ribs.. the list goes on. It’s not the closest to us, and they don’t deliver but it’s well worth the extra effort!"

"Long wait for meal. My fault that I didn't check the bill until I got home, and then found out out that I was charged for an extra that I didn't order, the garlic bread was priced at 2.50 but I was charged 2.95 !!! Very disappointed, as review's indicated that since refurbished things would be better. However, I don't agree, would not recommend to anyone !!!!!"

"This place is something else -next level taste and exceptional quality. Delicious curries,wraps , sides,rices and sauces -the whole menu knocks spots off your favourite curry house . Nat knows his ingredients and flavours and offers the most delicious handmade dishes . Nat’s Bombay kitchen is without doubt a hidden gem nestled in the brilliant Ashton Market . Make it a priority to get over there and buy from the great variety of traders, bagging yourself the best Indian homemade meal you’ll ever taste . We will always go back."

"Went for Mother’s Day for the set menu. On arrival was informed that there was no mushrooms available as a starter- no issue we ordered Korean chicken strips and the risotto. The chicken strips had about a teaspoon of sauce on, we had to ask for extra sauce to make them not dry! The main courses were just average at best. One of our party ordered the fish and chips and the fish was burnt, barely any fish inside the batter. The staff kindly exchanged this for us. Then we ordered desserts, the desserts took nearly 40 minutes to come after the mains were finished and the order got messed up and some of our party didn’t get what we ordered. For the price we were being charged the food wasn’t up to scratch at all. The kitchen needs a massive improvement. We won’t be returning. The serving staff were lovely and couldn’t be more attentive. The manager came over and listened to our concerns."

"Went to the restaurant for a meal as the food is always great. Due to a medical issue we had to go home. The staff were happy to box the meals up so we could take them home. They were more concerned about us. Fantastic staff and on the medical side all is good on of the problems you occasionally get with diabetes."

"I tried a gourmet burger tonight. Mighty messy and mighty tasty! There were enough fries in a portion to feed an army too. The staff were happy helpful. I will definitely be back. : Update from another visit... The food was ready bang on time and the staff were friendly and chatty as always. The mix of tandoori, grilled peppers and lovely naga pickle on the M's Chilli Burger is the most divine thing I have tasted in some time, with just the right amount of heat. Be warned that if you order the large french fries, then you may need a trolley to get your order home since they can only be described a half of a sackful! I will definitely be heading back here to try other things from the menu."

"Café Mozaic co proprietor Esther B. kindly answered our questions on Moroccan and Lebanese food on this Talk thread [hidden link] I visited Café Mozaic for lunch today to find Esther 's Moroccan husband Abdeljalil (AJ) holding the fort along with four other friendly staff. They were serving a lot of takeaways, but I chose to eat in they have about twenty covers with plenty of free seating when I visited, and a warm, Mediterranean vibe about the place. Hot vegetarian options were falafel, a spicy potato dish, and three rice dishes plain, saffron or cashew vermicelli rice. All sixteen mezze in the display fridge are vegetarian. I decided on a wrap, which AJ warmed then spread with hummus and chilli sauce before asking me to make my mezze choices. I was really greedy falafel, spicy potato, beetroot, green bean w/walnut, spicy green bean, feta, mint yoghurt dressing and so on. AJ 's technique was to crumble and spread everything evenly along the wrap, which was folded and returned to the heat press, before being served with sides of tabbouleh, spicy carrot and a delicious dressing. Although their khobz flatbread is from a packet rather than made on the premises, I found it really wholesome and will be seeking out a packet of these wraps myself from Worldwide Foods in Rusholme. As you can imagine, the wrap was a complete riot of fresh flavours with all those fillings, and great value too at just £4.50 to sit in. I would be interested to see what other Moroccan inspired hot vegetarian dishes Café Mozaic could come up with maybe a vegetable tagine using chickpeas for the protein. In any event, I 'm delighted to have discovered this ethnic treat to pop into when I 'm in Ashton, which I found to be quite an upbeat locale. Look out for my forthcoming Ashton under Lyne a vegetarian explores list!"

"Came here for my grans birthday a few weeks ago, admittedly, I was unimpressed by the interior. However, that was straight out mind the second that our server, Emily, attended to us. There could not have been a greater example of “service with a smile”. She had no problem giving recommendations based on our own personal preferences, and catered to our every need. Will definitely be dining here."

"The staff there are usually so friendly and the food is lovely with lots of choice and lots of choice of vegetarian food which is good for me and mum. Even my usual meat eating boyfriend had a veggie burger and I tried some and we both loved it. It was a little dry but only because they never put butter or sauce on. Anyway my gripe for yesterday's visit is that my food had gone cold. I tried flagging down a waiter, I waved and he looked up but he ignored me to carry on cleaning and then just walked off. After that no staff appeared at all and I was left with cold food I couldn't finish. Eventually a different waiter came over to ask if everything was all good and I asked for my food heating up but he offered me a box in order to take it home and heat up and eat later. I ended up eating my boyfriends chips instead and desert to fill up"

"Having passed many times and wanted to give it a shot we chose last Saturday evening after a busy day and before going to collect my nephew. We ordered and waited, the place was busy and had an okay atmosphere. Lots of staff passing out meals. Family 's eating etc. Our food was dumped unceremoniously under our noses after about 20-30 minutes. I actually jumped as mine was dumped as the server had approached from behind. She left without a beat, no words uttered or even a look. Now, I didn 't, and still don 't know if we were supposed to get our own cutlery and condiments but after maybe two minutes of utter shock which turned to confusion that 's what my wife did. We cut into our fish, chips mushy peas and it was immediately evident this wafer thin fish shouldn 't have ever encountered a fryer . It was like battered leather. Mine significantly worse than my wife 's. To the point that when I went to investigate further the entire fillet came appart in two decemated sections the meat being that thin that there was nothing left holding it together. The batter was pleasant, the mushy peas which we were charged an extra 75p to upgrade from standard peas were a literal table spoon. We ordered extra chips-£1.99 which was fortunate as the portion again was on the small side. Additionally some bread and butter which was another 75p per slice. So all in all our upgrades were quite expensive for what they were. Which had the bread not been stale, and the mushy peas not been measly we wouldn 't have minded. However that meant the only good thing that was on the plate was some chips. We weren 't happy at all! My wife went to express our issues to one of the staff. Who came over about 3-4 minutes later to see. We explained about the fish and she left again no advise to continue eating or not, she just said she 'd be back. As I earlier mentioned we were between commitments so we continued with our meals. Mine mostly with the extra chips, bread and peas which had been paid for Additionally as earlier mentioned and my wife much more slowly (she 'd just had dental work it was another 5 minutes or so and our original server now came clutching £7 saying she had no idea but had been told to give us this. We 're confused again. This is all really odd now. It 's just confusion ontop of lala land. Even the other customers are spending their evening watching our table at this point. Very unpleasant! We 're left again 5 minutes and out of nowhere comes the girl we initially explained our issue to and food dump woman. The first has both arms outstretched waiting and saying she has to take our meals now where in the council house bully 's house am I eating here?! Literally I was brought up in council houses, my wife ironically with parents who ran pubs. In our combined 70 years on this planet I have never been treated, seen anyone treated like this. I can 't say the same for my wife. For her this caused a total trauma responce. She had some very bad stuff happen at the hands of her secondary caregiver. So still unrelated to the service industry. These two women literally stood over us. Demanding our remaining food as a refund had been issued. The first was mostly the one not holding back. Pointing at my plate which was mostly eaten at this point as I 'm sure you 'll be able to tell, from our first complaint to the time these walking asbo 's stormed over it 'd been like fifteen minutes. So she predominantly wanted my wife 's mainly because she was an easier target not talking back as much and due to the recent dental work had more on her plate. Their voices were raised they were stood over us and pointing a lot! This was literally nightmarish. Who does this. Everybody else is turned in their seat, one lady so close she 's almost a third occupant at our table. The women leave after this and even though I 'd stuck to my guns about them not taking our food that if you recall we payed Additionally and separately ontop for everything BUT the fish leather. I couldn 't finish. I fealt sick and was shaking. We went to leave but I just thought no. This is mad I want my money back! I started explaining to another lady pulling a pint and she literally said something along the lines of don 't start on me ill get the manager about two sentences in. I was obviously annoyed but definitely not taking it out on her so this also baffled me. Eventually this person comes and is questioning us like we did something wrong or we were trying to get a free meal! I mean, yeah obviously at this point after everything and leaving our food after the only ever Saturday night fish chips with a side of abuse and public humiliation. Yeah we want our money back!! She claimed when given a refund and at this point I look over at my 36year old wife skin dull of hives and eyes watering knowing the priority is getting her out of this disgusting place. The woman 's just going round and round in similar circles of varying comparability of what she can can 't do and saying what we 're saying didn 't happen anyway to short of jumping the bar and throttling someone which of course happened only in my head we leave with the promise of a phone call the next day. Which!! Shock horror never arrived. So in summary if you 're looking for Droylsdens answer to Karen 's diner where the foods inedible, the prices are high and the staff are always ready. Get yourself down to The Hadon Hall on a busy Saturday night. Complain about anything. I dare you! One last thing, if the owner wants to send some pleasant amicable sounding platitude. Don 't! If you have one ounce of decency or customer service skills contact me. Because I 'll be copying and pasting this onto anything I can physically think of to warn anyone of your nasty workers and inedible food."

"We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while in the area and needed a quick meal. A quick search on our mobile led us to this gem, and we were pleasantly surprised by how busy it was for a midweek early evening. The starters were excellent and our satisfaction only continued with our main course. The staff team took great care of us and we left the restaurant feeling extremely satisfied and well-fed."

"many parking spaces for up to 2 hours and beautifully designed that makes for easy shopping. food quality is very good and has a good choice on everyday objects. not a large selection of other things, such as clothing or electrical objects, but what they have are the essential objects. the staff is friendly and helpful and always helpful. they have cash machines and eating in caffe is excellent. the marketplace for meat, fruit and vegetables. also a metzger and fish baker. everything you need without the things you don't want. the speed hull in the parking lot are a bit too heavy, making it difficult with a car full of shopping"

"I had been to this restaurant before and was not impressed, but decided to give it another try tonight. Unfortunately, I was thoroughly disappointed. The chips that came with my meal were cold, although they were quickly replaced. However, the fish had a strange chemical taste that was off-putting. My husband ordered the steak and ale pie, which had too much pastry and not enough steak filling. The mashed potatoes were also unappetizing. We informed the waitress of our dissatisfaction, but received no feedback. It seems like they don't care about customer satisfaction as they have plenty of passing trade. We will not be returning to this restaurant."

"I had a cheese and onion pie for lunch, which was decent but the ingredients seemed low quality. The restaurant was clean and my food arrived within 15 minutes. The staff were friendly but appeared overwhelmed and could not provide top-notch service. In general, it's an affordable and pleasant spot to get a bite to eat. They have a wide variety of options on the menu, as well as indoor seating and restrooms."

"What’s not to love about this shop? Food is bang on everytime. Let’s face it they’re the most polite set of guys you’re going to get answering the phone on a Saturday night! No matter who you are and what customers are in the shop to collect food, you will be safe and welcomed at all times. Busy place, flying out the orders, yet they have always got ours right and it’s always hot on arrival. Bonus points for those feast kebabs Keep up the good work Faz and the guys at Spice of Life Mossley"

"I visited the pub on Sunday with my family (4 adults, 1 child and a big dog) and had a lovely time. We came for the Sunday platter for two, which thy adults ordered and my little brother ordered the belly pork. The food was very tasty, plenty of it and we even had leftovers. The chicken was maybe a little dry and the plate overall was a bit cool so had maybe been sat on the pass waiting for final elements to be added but the delicious gravy with meat flakes in was lovely and hot and heated everything up nicely. James our server was so friendly and helpful, ensuring we had plenty of drinks and extra gravy but was never intrusive. The dog was given water, a biscuit and lots of attention too and we all felt very welcome. All in all a very pleasant meal in a lovely building with great staff and if the weather allows, some nice gardens to walk off your lunch in. Would definitely come back."
