After collecting an order and returning home, we realised an item was missing from the order, rand up and one of the lads was round within 5 minutes dropping it off. Tremendous customer service !!

Spice Island was recommended to me by a work colleague (cheers, Martin) when I first came to Bolton…read more10 years ago, and since then they've done very good business with us. The reason? The food is great (try their Chingri Jhol or their Murg Charga if you like something a little bit hotter than usual), the service efficient (rather than friendly, perhaps) and the prices are very reasonable. I like the fact that you can see the food being prepared when you pick up your meal -- it gives you confidence there's nothing untoward going on. All in all, top nosh -- and good value too.

The owner is such a friendly guy, he is not averse to throwing in some freebies if you are a regular there. The menu is varied as you would expect in a takeaway, i personally like his seekh kebabs, they are irresistable and cost just a couple of quid also. All the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable about the different currys and strengths and they offer a free delivery service within 3 miles. They currently have offers on including buy 1 get 1 free on curries and pizzas, be aware that this is weekdays only though. Living in close proximity as i do then this place is ideal if i fancy a no cooking day/night. For 6 pound i can have 2 9inch pizzas and that is good value. Definitely a place to try if your nearby.

When he wants a curry, we usually order from his favourite Mahbub so we can watch him sweat while eating his curry at home, in private. The food is very good and this latest visit was no exception. We ordered vegetable samosas, seek kebab, fish tikka balti and moglai lamb lazia. The dishes came with rice or naan and we were given poppadoms and a portion of each mango chutney, onion chutney and minty yoghurt. The food is always good for the price we pay and for a takeaway. Although this place doesn't do deliveries, it's always a pleasant experience to come in store and place our order as we get to watch the busy open kitchen in action. The staff are very friendly and professional and you're offered coffee while you wait for your order (of a main meal). I would highly recommend a visit for those in the Chorlton area.

So on my first visit it's fair to say that my expectations were pretty high. On arrival my boyfriend and I placed our order for the vegetarian meal for two, and were offered fresh coffee and bombay mix whilst we waited for our dishes to be prepared. You can watch the friendly staff cooking your meal, and with free drinks and snacks why bother phoning ahead?! Fast-forward to a week later. I am sitting in my kitchen waiting for my microwave to ping - I'm de-frosting the last part of the vegetarian banquet. After stuffing our faces couple of popadoms, dips, onion bhajees and naan breads with a fair attempt at all of the curries we were given, my boyfriend and I had no choice but to retire. The banquet for 2 is really enough to feed at least 4 people! I assume that the meaty alternative would be even more filling. Next time my cupboards and fridge are empty I know where I'll be going for my next week's worth of sustenance!

The staff at Tiffin were horrifically rude and basically made out that it was my error and that I myself placed the order through Yo Yo. I did no such thing. I've never even heard of such a company till just now. Staff refuse to accept that it is an error on their part and the fact it was their own website that took the payment through Yo Yo. Why would I use a company that firstly ive never heard of and secondly doesn't even exist? I ordered on Tiffins own website via Google! Staff shouting over me down the phone!!! So basically just did £40 in for a plate of fresh air! Crooks! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! Absolutely disgusted!

Surrounded by student accomadation and university buildings, this Abduls is mainly populated by…read morestudents tucking into cheap kebabs, chips and curries. In the daytime it's relatively quiet with half a dozen stools and plastic seats for customers to perch on. At night however, it can become a bit lively with large groups of drunk and sober customers popping in for some quick chow. As for the food itself, we're talking about edible and filling (rather than tantalising) kebabs, biryanis, dansaks and madras. The close proximity to Manchester Academy, Contact Theatre and Big Hands make Abduls an ideal destination for grabbing a take-away after a gig, show or club night. Just be prepared to be surrounded by some colourful characters trying to pinch your chips or worse still, chat you up!

For me, Abdul's wins the contest with its neighbour Gemini (nicknamed 'Dirty Gemini' by much of the…read moreWhitworth Park population) hands down. I will eat here voluntarily and when sober, which is more than can be said for the majority of Oxford Road's takeaways. My favourite thing to eat at Abdul's is the veggie burger. After a busy day of lectures when I had nothing in, I would sometimes pop in for a veggie burger which I would eat on the high stools in the takeaway whilst gazing out onto Oxford Road. Due to a rather sparse timetable this wasn't particularly often, but every time I went in the staff would remember me and often gave me a free can with my burger. They stuff the burgers and kebabs full - although be warned, the salad does consist mainly of cabbage, so if you don't like it, ask for it without. Friendly staff - 1 star, cheap food - 1 star, tasty food - 1 star, freebies - 1 star. Well done Abdul.

As a vegetarian, I enjoyed Al Faisal's lunchtime rice, channa, spinach & potato and chapati for around £5. Everything was tasty. However, the rice had small amounts of food colour in it, and I prefer to avoid artificial additives. And the chapati was fairly thick and leathery though still perfectly wholesome if thoroughly chewed! I personally prefer proper dairy ghee as a healthier cooking oil but staff at Al Faisal confirmed that they use vegetable oil, so I will keep looking (and eating!) in the meantime. All Al Faisal staff are attentive and courteous, ensuring the place is kept neat, clean and peaceful, whilst ensuring a fast turnaround on orders. Al Faisal is definitely a good choice for a hot and nourishing no-frills lunch or early evening meal.

Ok so it's a fast food takeaway place that does all the usual chips and stuff but it also seems to do pretty good Indian food, in fact it seemed like quite the destination for Indian families based on the number in there and the overflowing tables of all sorts of curries. I went for the paneer naan with cucumber, mango chutney and mint raita - super tasty and this with a portion of fries only set me back £4.50.

So far I've tried the basics (burger, chips, pizza) as well as the fantastic Indian dishes available. There's a wait on the curries as they are all cooked fresh to order, well worth the wait. The Bhuna is a personal favourite. The kebabs are also brilliant, slightly on the expensive side but for the amount you get I do consider it reasonable. The manager in Delhi2go is absolutely amazing too. Always has a chat and is constantly smiling. They also have delivery so worth a check out on that too. Favourite takeaway in Manchester :)
