"After we have tried various places to eat on a bank holiday to discover it completely booked or rude fellow workers, we have luck with our 5th attempt. it was so refreshing to be welcomed and informed, there were food available. our friends were vegan and this place had a lot of choice surprising for them! we had happy to arrive during the happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails. I chose a distinctive mojito that was made beautiful. for beginners I really wanted to taste chicken wings or the mac n cheese, but I worship bulton. When that came, it was just like the one my friend had brought back from Malawi. it was convenient to use a paper bag that offers a medium for snacks later and kitty tasty. for the net order all hate one? a thick broth plate, filled with various meats such as lamb or pebbles. I had a bobadi dish that were baked with mint. all seasoned were perfect and generous. overall really good service and a beautiful variety especially for vegan vegan vegans."

"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."

"Buen sitio en Salford en el que poder degustar pizzas y helados. Nosotros probamos las pizzas y estaban muy sabrosas. Pedimos las más grandes, concretamente la Siciliana, con berenjena como ingrediente destacado, y la Manchester, muy contundente por todo lo que lleva. Las pizzas sacian bastante, no necesitarás más si pides una grande por persona, quizás hasta te sobre. Dueño simpático y atento. El local es pequeño, prácticamente tiene dos sillas y una barra, es preferible pedir para llevar a casa. Nos queda repetir para probar los helados."

"I've passed this place so often and always said I'll try this place. at least on the 15th january I did that and I was not disappointed. from the moment they go through the door, they are greeted with a smile, they are not rushed. to place an order, they are relaxed when they order their drinks and eat. the brave are the best. we had four between us and it was full. the house wine on the glass is expensive £3 for 125ml, which works £18 per bottle. However, the bottle price was around £11 so cheaper to buy the bottle when they share. I would definitely go back. and liz liptrot"

"we moved our time and number of guests in the last minute, as we arrived, we were moved to a table next to the lobe music (quite loud.) on request we were moved upwards to a big table. our waitress was excellent and gave great information about meat cuts available. eating was fantastic. the wine list was really good, and we chose a beautiful bordeaux, of which we had 2 bottles. dessert was beautiful. whole experience was beautiful. I guess it's expensive, but they need to pay for high quality food and service, so it felt like excellent worth?"
