TGI Fridays - Menu

Sapporo Teppanyaki

➤ 91-93 Liverpool Road, Manchester, M34JN, United Kingdom

Sushi • Seafood • Asiatic • Japanese

---

"Superb food, great location, what a show Japanese food and Teppanyaki has always been a treat for me, when my daughter reported that her fellow students had discovered this restaurant in a lovely part of Manchester, I was hooked! I was not disappointed. The restaurant it in Castleford, the heart of old industrial Manchester, and a wonderful place to look around and work up an appetite! The restaurant is well laid out and staff welcoming, booking ahead is recomended. The food is stunning and the show by the chefs entertaining. We had sushi, sashimi and Teppanyaki sets as well. All uniformly excellent. Highly recommended"

Alborz

➤ 820 Stockport Road, Manchester, United Kingdom

Vegan • Halal • Persian • Vegetarian

"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."

Fazenda Rodizio Grill

➤ The Avenue, Spinningfields, Manchester, United Kingdom, M3 3AP

Steak • Barbecue • Brazilian • Steakhouse

---

"I have been to their location several times in Liverpool and it is one of my favorite rodizios anywhere. For those not familiar with rodizios, they bring as much meat as you would like to the table on skewers from the kitchen. Why Fazenda stands out is the meat is medium rare to rare (you can also order more well done), and I hate overcooked beef. I love their garlic steak, the fillet here and lamb. They also have a great salad bar, including sushi, a nice selection of cheeses and charcuterie, and a nice sesame seasoned quail egg. So why only four stars. First, it was very warm inside, uncomfortably warm. Not sure if it was intentional so people would not stay too long but it definitely detracted from the meal. Second, while the meat selection is good, it was very inconsistent. I was swamped when I started, probably five servers in three minutes. I tried to be careful and not over-indulge (too quickly) but then had to wait about 20 minutes for more food. I noticed this happened at a few table, again not sure if it is intentional or not. I also never was offered the fillet again. Food is good but the service and temperature need a little work for them to regain the fifth star I awarded Liverpool."

Dishoom

➤ 32 Bridge St, Manchester, England, M3 3BT, M3 3BZ, United Kingdom

Asian • Vegan • Indian • Vegetarian

---

"I've been to a couple of different Dishoom branches a few times and have never been disappointed by the breakfast options. The sausage naan roll is excellent. A couple of really tasty vegan sausages with some melted vegan cheese all wrapped up in a lovely soft naan and served with some sort of sweet chilli dipping sauce. My go to now is usually the vegan Bombay. It's a good hearty breakfast plate with... a couple of the same well seasoned vegan sausages. Some vegan tofu akuri a nicely spiced tofu scramble. Some very well cooked mushroom slices (that are maybe a wee bit under seasoned). The baked beans are really nicely spiced, elevating them far beyond the standard sweet sauce fare that's the usual. A few slices of well flavoured black pudding (that could be fried to being a bit crispier). A cooked tomato which is a bit dull, I've never been keen on tomatoes on my breakfast plate and this once has not changed my mind. It could do with some more charring and maybe some spicing. To help you mop everything up, the whole thing is served with a couple of soft bread buns that have been nicely toasted. I usually top the whole thing off with some chocolate chai with oat milk you get free refills for your chai. Unfortunately, it isn't wheelchair accessible. There are stairs up into the restaurant and various small flights of stairs to get to different parts of the restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2024 03 25"

Karahi Wok

Sushi • Indian • Asiatic • Chinese

"Wow. Travelled from Stoke a few hours ago to drop daughters off at concert and hanging around. Hubby and myself called in for Indian to pass time as I'd been working all day. Was not expecting this hidden gem. Greeted with a cheerful smile. We both had Indian food. Hubby went for tikka masala and I had jalfrezi. Meals freshly cooked, hot and absolutely tasty. Keema nan was spot on. Really wish we had this on our own doorstep. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you for your warm hospitality and excellent food and service.x"
