Top 5 Delis in Greater Manchester

842 Stockport Rd, Levenshulme, Manchester M19 3AW, United Kingdom

“Accidentally found this place and loved it!!! Disappointed with a different shop next door, I came here after seeing crowds outside and I realised why it’s so popular after getting a couple of their mixed meat shawarma’s in their freshly baked bread. Meats were cooked perfectly, tasted lovely and their fresh salad with house sauces are nice, all in an amazing warm fresh baked bread. Best shawarma I’ve had anywhere. The bread is the game changer better than anywhere else. The service is really fast and good too, with all the guys serving with a smile and willing to help with your order. I was in and out within a few minutes and the shawarma was eaten even quicker!! 🤣”

41-43 Lapwing Ln, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 2NT, United Kingdom

“The restaurant’s vibe was fabulous, setting the stage for a memorable experience. We opted for a tabbouleh salad, where the twist leaned more towards a lentil salad than the traditional version, but the flavor remained delightful. However, the sausage and mushroom Wellington had its quirks; an overwhelming portion of mashed potatoes overshadowed the modest two sausages, leaving me questioning if it was a sausage or potato dish. The star of the evening, though, was undoubtedly the mushroom Wellington – a definite winner. Despite some hiccups, I’d recommend this restaurant for its overall appeal and the standout mushroom creation.”

St James's Bldg, 91-93 Oxford St, Manchester M1 6ET, United Kingdom

“The food here is great, no question it's a tasty burrito. However, the portion sizes have dramatically reduced, yet they charge top dollar prices. It's such a shame as I used to enjoy my treat lunch here. I have only gone back this month as they had an offer on for double credit in using the app. They seem to offer more salad, less protein. I think they need some consistency in portion control.”

123 Manchester Rd, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester M21 9PG, United Kingdom

“One of those places where you feel the need to go back as soon as you leave. Can’t wait to return to try a different dish. Tasted very fresh and delicious. They are also very flexible with people’s dietary preferences.”

1 Outwood Rd, Radcliffe, Manchester M26 1AQ, United Kingdom

“We booked the New Years eve special. After booking I spotted some negative reviews from last year, so was a bit concerned I'd made a mistake booking. However the Armaan delivered a fantastic evening. Despite being very busy the service was great and the food really good and served pipping hot. There was a great atmosphere aided by a really good Michael Jackson tribute act which added the great evening. The evening was rounded off with a Firework display in the car park. A great evening :-)”

239 Bury and Rochdale Old Rd, Birtle, Heywood OL10 4BQ, United Kingdom

“I cannot explain the level of service received from this amazing restaurant. At such short notice for a small wedding, Ellen went above and beyond to make the run up and the day run so smoothly and nothing was ever to much trouble. The day was just perfect, the food was perfect and the staff were exceptional. Thank you so much and looking forward to our next meal here.”

197 Atherton Rd, Hindley, Wigan WN2 3PR, United Kingdom

“Celebrated our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary last night, originally should have been in February but we had an illness that meant we had to rebook, no problem for the staff at Toscana, 11 of us last night, despite the restaurant being quite busy we had our drinks order taken within minutes, food order taken shortly after and when our fussy eater was disappointed about 2 soup options he was offered a 3rd option. All the food was delicious, we had a lovely evening and were well looked after by the Staff, thanks very much.”

2 Ridgefield, Manchester M2 6EQ, United Kingdom

“Tapas was so stunningly gorgeous here and we highly recommend. House white/rosè wine was reasonable and delicious, served in a big lovely cold wine glass. Whilst the nine dishes that we picked were just incredible! So flavoursome. They were rather large too in comparison to other tapas dishes we have order in the past from other restaurants, these were super filling and satisfying. Our evening was made even better by the fabulous, charming waiters / waitress that were so lovely and smiley throughout. We will be back. Thank you!”

113 Deansgate, Manchester M3 2BQ, United Kingdom

“Three engineers ate here 2 days on the bounce as we were restricted on alternative restaurant options. X2 of us are somewhat plant based and one was a full carnivore. Food is of good quality, poor vegetarian dishes due to the amount you get in comparison to the meat dishes. The pricing does not reflect the significantly smaller portions, priced identically to the meat breakfast. We were left peckish after unfortunately and the meal was just shy of £10. The restaurant is clean and the fast service was very good so I couldn't fault their service. There was also a good selection of condiments! The staff could smile and be more friendly. The temperature was just as cold as the welcome, the 2 degree ambient temperature was uncomfortable to enjoy our meals. Couldn't wait to leave to get warm somewhere else. Coats, hats and gloves left on Would recommend if you want quality food though and are not bothered about the above!”

2 Tariff St, Manchester M1 2FN, United Kingdom

“I wanted to leave a review to make sure no one suffers the same fate as us... the worst chicken wings I've ever had. I felt the skins were under done, all soft and chewy, not very satisfying. And the coating or sauce was not only tastless, it was dry in places? Like they'd been sat under a heat lamp for ages? Really bad, couldn't finished them, which is unlike me! The rest of the place was fine, like most trendy bars in the NQ. Typical crazy Manchester drinks prices.”

Birtle Brook Village West, Elbut Ln, Rochdale, Bury BL9 6UX, United Kingdom

“Lovely Bistro set in a beautiful location. The staff were super friendly and I would've eaten everything on the menu, great choice for everyone! We revisited this evening and were not disappointed. I would however like to mention a certain member of the serving staff. I don't know his name, he has a beard and we have been lucky enough to be served by him on several occasions. He has a fantastic way with customers, very knowledgeable of the food and local area. He just makes our visit special and is an asset to the restaurant!”

7 Wilmslow Rd, Cheadle SK8 1DW, United Kingdom

“We had some really nice food here. Portion size was good, not too much, not too little. Flavours and combinations worked well. Good attentive service and a nice bottle of fizz for under £20. What's not to love?”

5 The Butts Ave, Rochdale OL16 1ES, United Kingdom

“Whatever you do, don't order on an empty stomach, you'll end up with way too much! We ordered 10 dishes between the 2 of us and couldn't eat everything, 6-7 would be plenty as portions are good. Cocktails were great, and the staff were friendly. Only downside is that it was ridiculously hot in there and noisy because it was so busy, but apart from that, a great little venue and good food”

569 Barlow Moor Rd, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester M21 8AE, United Kingdom

“Nice restaurant the staff was friendly and the food very delicious. I recommend if you need coming call to reservations”

285 Barlow Moor Rd, Manchester M21 7GH, United Kingdom

“4 of us went to Amma’s Canteen for the first time on Friday evening and we all really enjoyed the food. The vegan tofu and the ocra curry were particularly nice. I’m pretty sure we’ll be going again O)”

5 Rodney St, Wigan WN1 1DG, United Kingdom

“Amazing food and lovely staff. However, the venue needs a good upgrade as it felt like I was eating in an old hospital. They could also benefit from having fewer tables crammed in and a smaller menu. However, overall, we enjoyed the evening and loved the food ✨️”

Valley Leisure Park, Eagley Brook Way, Bolton BL1 8TS, United Kingdom

“OMG Just perfect, one of the best Tandoori Mixed I've ever had. Excellent food, superb service, great supporting beers, fantastic value for money. The staff were spot on, everything was cooked to perfect, and we even added elements, changed elements, nothing was too much trouble. A superb gem, a definitely worth a visit, you'll not be disappointed.”

83 Stockport Rd, Cheadle SK8 2AJ, United Kingdom

“I ate here as part of a large party. We received exquisite service and the food was fantastic! I didn’t get her name but the waitress with the australian accent was a standout member of staff. The vegetarian and vegan options available on their three course menu all sounded superb. I had the leek and potato soup which tasted exactly how my mum has always made it, but came with warm cheese scones!! 😍 The bombay inspired cauliflower pie was sensational with a spicey gravy sauce. And to finish off a spectacular sticky toffee sponge which they kindly swapped the custard for ice cream for me 🤩”

80-82 Bradshawgate, Bolton BL1 1QQ, United Kingdom

“Been coming here on and off for years, the food is still incredible at decent prices. Lovely washing station for those traditionally eating with hands (myself included) which is a nice touch. I have unfortunately noticed portions are getting smaller especially with the meat dishes. Takeaway was 90% rice and barely any meat which was disappointing. Definitely go collect yourself/ eat in for best quality :) Only thing letting down is poor delivery portions. Mostly just rice.”

167 Burton Rd, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 2LN, United Kingdom

“We had lovely dinner here, they are quite busy but still very helpful and friendly service. The aubergine miso dip and the dry fried green beans are very impressive. 6 tapas are plenty for two of us to share. Dog friendly and smoking friendly if you sit outdoors. Overall, a very local but tasty place to go. Will definitely come back again.”
