"Sapporo is a full experience. The theatrical and culinary skills of the chefs make it interactive and humorous. Perfect for any age or occasion I use it when hosting family and friends due to it being rare. The menu can be a little confusing with a perception of what you order arrives in a form that you would not expect, I suggest that, if in doubt, ask a staff member, not always easy as they work fast and require an effort to stop."

"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."

"First of all let me say a positive, the only positive- Taylor our server was Brilliant, so polite friendly and excellent at his job ABSOLUTE RIP OFF, they only care about your money this place the food is so vile I couldn't eat much, meat was terrible. I'm a person who like to order at the bar, So I went upto the bar and tried to order to none alcoholic cocktails approx 11.80 on menu, I was told server will bring it over looked at Bill when he did, 13.00 I told him take that service charge off , absolutely disgusting they don't want you to order at bar so they squeeze a few extra pound out of you everytime you order a drink it's not the it's the principle) After meals in next room ,another service charge added on bill of 17, it's a disgrace and leaves a bad taste in my mouth , as if the place isn't expensive enough.. I would of definitely left a 20 tip for Taylor anyway as he was excellent but to be forced to do it in a restaurant that is already ripping you off in a cost of living crisis just shows you what this restaurant is all about. It'd 52 each anyway and you can't eat that much meat as it'd really poor quality and cooked poorly so please don't make the same mistake we made and choose this restaurant to eat. I so nearly walked out after the incident at bar when they tried to add on a service charge by made me think they were being polite and bringing our drinks to us, I really wish I had as I've had better tasting food at McDonald's in Moss Side"

"The gluten-free menu at this restaurant is largely inappropriate for those with celiac disease, as many dishes may still contain gluten. I found this information poorly communicated but eventually figured it out on my own. You can filter for gluten-free options on their website and are left with only three or four main meal choices, along with a few side and dessert options. They also make fresh bread using gluten flour in their kitchen, but they assured me they adhere to good cross-contamination practices."

"Took a trip here on Friday night after being in the Quays for the day, we fancied something authentic and chose here purely on the basis of reviews, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The restaurant probably seats about 20 and when we turned up there was a full table of 8 and a table of 2, the atmosphere was great and from arriving to leaving, and through the turnover of tables during the night, the vibe never went flat one bit. The food was really, really nice, we stayed on the Indian side of the menu and were not disappointed with the shami and chicken malai starters, then the plentiful main courses of chicken karahi and jalfrezi with real juicy garlic naans were so nice, we stuffed the lot! Big shout out to Lax who looked after us and everyone else on the night, he was attentive to each table and kept the flow going really well. Next time we’re that way for a night out, we’ll most definitely return, in the meantime I hope the recommendation helps"
