Fresh and vibrant mango salad with a tangy lime dressing, garnished with peanuts and cilantro for a tropical twist.

"The restaurant is very nicely decorated but the food and service do not match to that experience. We were sat so close to other people on other tables it was like were dining with them. We attended pre concert and chose the concert menu. The appetisers came within minutes of ordering, there wasn't a lot for the price. The mains we had to wait over 45 minutes for which was not good and we kept being told it was on the way. The food when it came was average curry really. It had obviously been cooked in a huge batch as it was on the set menu so not sure why it took so long. The service was not great...we were never asked if the food was ok or if we wanted another drink. We only had Coke and this was rather expensive at £3 for a tiny bottle.... Overall i think the place is very nice but the food was average at best and the service poor. The set menu was £25 per person which was not value for what you actually got. We saw a 10% service charge on our bill which we asked to be removed. Tried it, but wouldn't go back again."

"Pho is one of my go to takeaway options as the food is DELICIOUS and the majority of the menu is gluten free. The website clearly shows which items are NOT gluten free on a dedicated gluten free page, which mentions that they are accredited by Coeliac UK. (It's refreshing to see the none GF options presented as 'outside the norm' rather than the other way around! . There are plenty of vegetarian options for those who are veggie and GF I highly recommend the 'This isn't chicken' summer rolls with peanut sauce and the Wok fried 'THIS isn't chicken' rice (It is quite spicy though so avoid if you want a milder dish . I've also had the wok fried noodles which are lovely. Every dish is packed with flavour!"

"I’ve only ever walked through the Corn Exchange once. Many many years ago. It completely bored me. I remember it being sparse, unimaginative with not much in there apart from the occasional art exhibition (the exhibits were always pretty good though). From the moment we heard Pho Manchester was opening, this restaurant sparked controversy in our house. Mo and I battled it out on how to pronounce this restaurant’s name, our Fantastic Four whatsapp group even changed to ‘Foh’ or ‘Fuh’ whilst we both constantly pleaded cases to prove each other wrong. A quick tweet led to Pho showing this:"

"This was my first time visiting Clicia, accompanied by a friend who has frequented the restaurant several times before. Upon our arrival at 7.45, the place was empty, but quickly filled up after the local fireworks display had ended. With only one waiter, the service was a bit slow, but we weren't in a rush. The menu offered a variety of Turkish/Mediterranean options, and we both opted for mains. The salmon was excellent, while my fish medley was unexpectedly hotter and spicier than anticipated, but delicious when paired with creamy yogurt (which was promptly brought when requested). We enjoyed Efes beer with our meal and finished off with Turkish coffee. The waiter was friendly, and the ambiance was not too loud. Overall, a very nice experience - I just wish the restaurant was closer to my home!"

"I have been a longtime customer of this restaurant. The burritos are delicious and satisfying. My only issue is that in the evenings, they often run out of chicken but have plenty of beef and pork. This is inconvenient for those who only eat halal or do not consume red meat or pork, especially since there is an additional cost for these options. The tacos could use some improvement to make them more authentic and less like something you could easily make at home. The staff is always friendly, though the tables could be cleaner during busy times. Despite these minor issues, I find the food to be good quality and reasonably priced. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 7.8 out of 10."

"We ordered our main courses and requested a side of steamed seasonal vegetables. Unfortunately, just like our previous visit, we were informed that the steamed vegetables were not available. We weren't keen on any of the other side dishes, so we asked if the chef could prepare a vegetable option that accommodated my wife's food intolerance. I mentioned that I could change my main course order if the appropriate vegetables weren't available. However, our server didn't return to inform us about what the chef could prepare, and soon after, our food arrived. It was a delicious meal featuring pasta, mushrooms, and some additional ingredients. We were also pleasantly surprised with a generous portion of potatoes, which we were told would not be charged. The main dish was abundant and very tasty. I also had dessert, a cheesecake that was excellent and served in a large portion. During the billing, I insisted on paying for the dessert. Both the server and the chef went out of their way to accommodate our requests, and they did a fantastic job. We genuinely appreciate their efforts, although we still would have preferred the steamed vegetables that were listed on the menu! Overall, it was a very good experience, and we are definitely looking forward to dining there again."

"The food is nothing special, the service is just not a restaurant service (which the waiter acknowledged and said he was actually really there for the bar). No knowledge of ingredients or of the cooking process. As we were there early (6pm) we benefitted from the Happy Hour in relation to drinks and some of our dishes. Therefore, the food was great value still, albeit mediocre in taste and certainly not something that makes Vietnamese people proud... The restuarnat itself is in a lovely room and it is disappointing that the food does not match the ambience. If you want a quick cheap meal go for it. If you want something tasty and special don't bother."

"my man and I visited for what we thought would be a nice relaxing Sunday evening dinner in our neighbourship, as we live near. but we immediately regretted the decision. the restaurant was completely empty (and we should have left after we had seen that. it was cold inside and there was hardly personal. we ordered a bottle prosecco, which took quite a long time to arrive, and were charged £40 for a bottle canti that we suspected that they had ran and bought next to the tesco. booze is always highly marked, but at least have a brand on the hand where the customer does not know that it costs £8 at tesco. the waitress did not even pour the prosecco; she brought the bottle and we had to pour ourselves. the appetizers were well presented and tastefully. the nets (steak and lamb and sides were very average; my lamb was barely dreaming, which meant that I had to eat it quickly, so I didn't have to eat cold lamb. £220 for an average dinner with a bottle cheap super market prosecco (oh and £10 for a bottle of still water! is simply absurd. we eat in michelin star high-end restaurants quite regularly that costs £500 for two people, so this is no problem with price. I've never seen anything about food quality, environment, service, general experience. Avoid this crazy overpriced place with average life means!"

"The restaurant is beautiful and the food is excellent. However, the staff could benefit from some customer service training, as we had to wait a long time for them to clean our table, take our order, and bring our drinks. Additionally, the restrooms could use some thorough cleaning."

"dinner time, which was ok, but not unforgettable. we had not realized that a building dancer would occur and while she was very good, the music was very loud. this is not a place to go for an intimate meal and I would recommend it is better than a midday restaurant. the personal is beautiful, the venue itself is a lot of a kitchen experience in contrast to a restaurant and eating was beautiful, but not fantastic. that's probably not a place we'd be going back to."

"La'De Kitchen is a decent restaurant with a Turkish menu with European influences. The appetizers, like goats cheese mixed with butter served with warm flatbread, were good but not outstanding. The borek was a bit oily and lacking finesse, while the vine leaves were just okay. The main dishes, however, were better. The lamb shish fillet was succulent and perfectly cooked, but with prices over £20, you would expect nothing less. The restaurant is quiet, making it a good spot for catching up with friends, but it's not the best in terms of value for money."

"We often go to this restaurant and it was always a good experience. The grilled salmon today was exceptional and the baklava to dessert a delicious conclusion to a beautiful lunch. Service was good, especially considering how busy the restaurant was."

"I used to work in the area and this restaurant was one of my go-to spots. However, on a recent visit, I was disappointed. The food was just average (though the portions were still generous) and the service was quite slow. While I understand that the restaurant can get busy, compared to other busy places, the wait was longer than usual. In the past, I didn't mind waiting 15-20 minutes, but this time the chicken pad thai didn't taste as good as before, so it wasn't worth the wait."
"we were offered a very nice table at the window. good menu choice and very nice service. we chose a few starters that were nice, although not many calamari rings paid for the price). we then had the mixed meat plate (2-3 people), but more than enough for the 4 of us, served with salat, rice and chips. very tasty, but the lamb was slightly boiled over so that the shish was a little hard. maybe a sose would have been nice on the side to have been offered. no dessert when we were too full"
