"Very rude staff I visited here with a group of friends for Sunday lunch. We were four couples, and placed our food and drink orders via the app. The drinks arrived promptly. The problems started when the food was delivered. The male member of staff appeared carrying a tray of food and shouted across to us, asking if we had ordered food. I replied that we had. He then accused me of not having ordered food, and demanded to see my receipt. He stated that I apparently smirked at him and this indicated that I was lying about having placed an order! I then showed him my order confirmation on the app. It appears the meals he was carrying were not my order, but clearly would have been for one of my friends who had also placed an order on the app. We explain this to the member of staff. There then followed a ridiculous situation where he refused to tell us what meals he was carrying, even when we explained that if we knew which meals they were, we could work out who on our table the meals were intended for. We also pointed out that surely he would be able to see on the system that there had been four orders made for our table. The member of staff’s attitude was rude, bordering on aggressive. I’ve never experienced such poor service. Having ordered and paid for a meal, I do not appreciate being accused of lying. A female member of staff then appeared, looking very stressed. She was able to sort out getting the rest of our order to our table. The food was ok, although our starter were brought out at the same time as our mains. However, the appalling attitude of the member of staff completely ruined the atmosphere and experience. We just wanted to finish our meals as quickly as possible and leave. The shockingly poor attitude of your staff have now cost you 8 customers who will not be returning"

The atmosphere was vibrant and energetic, and I was quite impressed with the breakfast they served.

I ordered the BBQ mac burger, and while it was decent, it could have used an additional five minutes on the grill. The cocktails are pre-mixed, quite sweet, and served in half-pint glasses. I gave a rating of three stars for service solely because the young lady who brought us our food was very polite.

I haven't been in Yates for years. We went on a week day in the afternoon and it was quite busy. We didn't eat there but we had drinks. I was a little annoyed that I was the only person at the bar and then a young lady came along and got servered before me. Other than that it was quite a nice place for a pint. View menu

Always a good meeting point for me an the friends on a Sunday evening got my own usual drink (Kraken Coke), second round had the same but was introduced to a different variety of drinks and shot offers by the bar man (Wade) and sold me and my friends on 'Sheep Dog with Peanut Butter ' and there was 6 of us and would recommend his advice on other verities cocktails, shots drinks next time we come back.

The server, Kayley (I believe that was her name), was a bit lethargic in her speech, making it difficult to understand her. However, there was another young lady with colorful hair who also served our food, and she was the complete opposite—pleasant, polite, and friendly. On another note, I noticed two ladies at a different table had to wipe their own table down. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend eating here, and I suggest that customers carefully check their food before enjoying it.

Brilliant staff- I was served by Wade and young woman (25th July early afternoon). I was in to see the boxing, as soon as I asked, Wade went to put it on a screen for me, but turns out it was already on! I was then moved to a table with a better view. Food was great value for money and service was excellent. Good choice of lager but could do with better selection of ales! Atmosphere was lively enough for a Tuesday afternoon. I’ll definitely be revisiting when I’m back next time I’m in Manchester. View menu

The food I ordered through the app was satisfactory, the overall experience was marred by the discourteous behavior of your staff during the drink and food delivery. The convenience of using your app to place orders was commendable, as it was quick and user-friendly. However, the positive impression was quickly overshadowed by the attitude displayed by your staff. They were rude and lacked basic manners, making me feel unwelcome and undervalued as a customer. As someone who frequents various bars and restaurants, I understand that busy evenings can be challenging for staff. Nonetheless, it is essential for the hospitality industry to maintain a level of professionalism and courteousness towa...

Honestly the worst service you could get. 1st drink i bought the service was ok but rude barmaid. But when it should have got better it got worse. 2nd drink go to the bar and wait for over 10 minutes to be served. Not because its busy but because all the staff decided to have a social on the side of the bar, a massive group. I mean honestly customers walked out and even challenged the staff but no one cared. One staff said they started at 5 but how come the ones that finished at 5 were drinking alcohol and not serving customers before their shift ended? Chloe and abbey are just 2 that were at fault. If you run a bar like this you will not last and i am sure i will not be the only person to l...

Alborz

820 Stockport Road, Manchester, United Kingdom

"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."
