"I went to this place guided by the good feedback on Google Maps and I was disappointed. They have some so-called Special coffee on the menu. They 're called Chemex and V60 . I asked the girl at the till what made them special and what was the difference with the classic coffees. Initially she said some nonsense (clearly she didn 't know what the difference was) and then said that the coffee beans were different and she pointed to a shelf where the coffee beans should have been but no boxes were left. Not knowing what the difference was, I took a classic americano which was nothing special, to be honest (quite watery and tasteless). The place itself is kind of cute but nothing special, there are lots of better cafes."

Don’t bother eating here, a sausage sandwich with 2 sausages was £7.50 and cold! Good coffee though

Nice food, tasty and good presentation. Though I thought it was quite expensive just for one small slice of bread.

Great independent cafe for breakfast, hot snacks and drinks. Small but friendly space. Great menu choices saved delicious food. Would recommend for a weekend brunch. View menu

Nice spot for a coffee but I probably wouldn't go back for food as I found the avocado toast overpriced and underwhelming. The baked goods looked nice though, so perhaps that's a better bet for next time.

Quality lattes and hipster menu, this place is good for reading a book or watching the busy street. There’s not enough indoor seating but service and turnover are faster than your regular brunch spots nearby.

really cute little local cafe. i had some fresh sourdough toast matcha latte, it was a lot better than the average. i also had their fresh choc chip cookie to take away it was one of the best i’ve had in a long time. View menu

sultry and lacklustre staff and really slow service. possibly due it’s footfall location to explain its survival, in many other scenarios I suspect this place wouldn’t last long. Will never step foot here and will frequent alternative places that value their customers. mgmt take note

This charming café offers a variety of coffee options. The barista was friendly and polite during our visit. We tried the cappuccino and beetroot latte, both of which were enjoyable. While not the absolute best coffee we've ever had, it was certainly better than what you'd find at larger chain coffee shops. The only downside was the slightly long wait due to the busy atmosphere of the place.

"Alborz is a wonderful hidden gem in Levenshulme that serves a variety of Persian and Middle-Eastern food, located on Stockport Rd you could be forgiven for thinking that Alborz is as unassuming as it's humble exterior suggests. However, what lies behind those modest doors is truly fantastic restaurant both in terms of food and service. The interior is understated and tasteful, furnished with Persian vases and ornate tea sets, the tables are close together to make the most of the limited space available but this lends a refreshing communal atmosphere to your meal. The staff were friendly and attentive and more than happy to talk you through the menu and explain the various dishes. We ordered the Mezze Platter to start, this consists of four different starters, and is ideal if you're not overly familiar with Persian cuisine, the homemade hummus was a particular highlight being both fresh and tasty. We then ordered the Alborz special grill for two, which looks as wonderful as it tastes, succulent skewers of koobideh and chicken accompanied by grilled vegetables, saffron rice and a freshly baked taltoon bread which was frankly quite ridiculous in its magnificence and is so large it came supplied with its own stand. This was a true delight to eat and I can highly recommend it. After all of that, we were overloaded with food and couldn't possibly consider having dessert and so, asked for the bill, which led to true surprise of the evening, all of this wonderfully authentic and fresh food came to a grand total of £42. This reflects tremendous value in a time where a meal for two can often prove quite expensive. Overall I would say that Alborz is definitely worth visiting if you're in the area and if you're not well then it's worth making the trip for. If you're a fan of Persian food or perhaps want to try something new then you would genuinely struggle to find such a quality dining experience at this price point."
