"My boyfriend and I decided last minute we wanted to take my dad out for a roast. I rang jacks on the off chance they could fit us in and they kindly let us come down not too long before they were closing. We all ordered the steak roast dinner and it was absolutely delicious, the steak itself was enormous and perfectly cooked for us all and all the trimmings were cooked and presented well! I feel like Jack’s doesn’t get the hype it deserves as we have never had a bad meal here! Hopefully this will inspire at least one person so give this little local restaurant a try!"

"The restaurant offered a great selection of dishes, with the waitress helping us cater to individual tastes and food intolerances. The lamb's tongues were enjoyed by all for their soft and delicate texture. The bread was a real standout. We were able to share and taste a variety of dishes, including stews and meats that we all liked. The desserts were interesting, with the noodles with lemon and saffron being a refreshing standout. The saffron ice cream and pistachio pastry with honey were also enjoyed. The restaurant had a pleasant level of noise, allowing for conversations without being overheard. The exciting and varied menu has us looking forward to returning in the future. We would definitely go back when possible."

"The cuisine is a delightful mix of Turkish, Bulgarian, and Mediterranean influences. The tapas were outstanding, with some unique offerings. The squid was exceptional—some of the best calamari I’ve ever had, melting in the mouth with no chewiness at all. Our waiter recommended the baklava, which was absolutely to die for. The desserts in the display case looked fantastic, and I couldn’t resist trying the Belgian cake, which was just as delicious as it appeared. The decor was lovely, featuring beautiful art for sale, and even the restrooms were well-kept with efficient hand dryers. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a perfect 10/10!"

"I was visiting family and they insisted that this was a great place to grab lunch (they eat from there regularly). I've not had Lebanese food before so I had trouble identifying some of the dishes but the owners who were serving were so helpful explaining what the dishes were and their level of spice. We got a medium meat tray for me, and a medium vegetarian tray. The flavours! I'm not a big lover of very spicy food and the spicy rice nearly defeated me, but it was worth it! The meat was cooked perfectly, the spices were punchy without being overwhelming, and salads! They were so delicious! And the garlic sauce!! Honestly there aren't enough superlatives. Add to that the fact that they were friendly, cheery and so helpful and I'm just sad I live so far away. I'll definitely be back!"

The Original Third Eye

"A recent discovery for me is this beautiful Indian restaurant, which I rank up there with the best in Manchester, situated in the heart of Didsbury Village. Curries are without doubt my favourite food, so I've had a good few and since working for Yelp I have set myself the task of really locating the finest curry houses in Manchester. The Original Third Eye fully deserves to enter in at the top, alongside my other favourites, Punjab in Rusholme, Moon in Withington, and The Original Lal Qila on Deansgate. See my list for the run down. The name Original Third Eye comes from one of the finest restaurants in Kathmandu, though it is also a reference to the concept of the all Seeing Eye, a central emblem of Buddhist thought that is depicted on many temples and shrines throughout Nepal. The restaurant itself is large, and spacious, with authentic decoration and a smart, but still nicely informal, table arrangement. The food is literally unbelievable. Needless to say they sell all the usual traditional curry dishes, including an extensive fish list, but the main specialties are something new and unusual, a curry with a little something extra, taking it to that next level of joy and producing happiness and glee in their very consumption. The kidney kebab starter for example, combines classic kebab spices with beautiful marinated lamb kidney. Also beautiful is the Third Eye Tangri, which mixes chicken with minced lamb and nuts, a surprising and beautiful combination. In terms of mains, go directly to either the seafood menu or the Third Eye Specials section, on which everything is gorgeous. The piece de resistance, is the Murghi Masala, a whole chicken marinated in wonderful spices. This dish is so precisely crafted, that you in fact need to give 24 hours notice, and at least two people need to share it. I think that epitomizes this restaurant's absolute class. So I end on that note."
