A taste sensation!!!!!…read more Every mouthful was a delicious exploration of taste and texture. We had the chaat sharing platter and then I had a delicately spiced mushroom and spinach dish. The pinnacle was the cinnamon and lentil paratha bread. Service was great too. It deserves more than a 4 really, maybe a 4.5 with the half knocked off just because the atmosphere is a little lacking. The tables are a little close together and you can hear what is being discussed on the table next door as they raise their voices to speak over the music. With just a little more attention to the atmosphere this would be a 5* review.

I got lost looking for the restaurant after my phone died but finally found my friend at the top of the steps leading down to Earth. Service is set up like a cafeteria, and for just £7 you can pick 4 items from the line (up to 2 "mains".) I think everything in the line and dessert counter is vegan - I was struggling to find dairy/egg items in the menu. I feel like it's more palatable for them to sell themselves as a vegetarian rather than vegan restaurant. I picked up a hearty bean chili atop quinoa, braised cabbage, and a beautiful mushroom pie, in addition to a lime/lemongrass bottled drink and coffee/walnut cake. Portion sizes were huge and you feel very healthy eating the food - the bean chili could have used more seasoning, but the savory mushroom pie was divine! Creamy, savory, and textural, I was surprised at how well they veganized this classic. The cabbage was like tame sauerkraut, which cut the richness of the pie well. The cake was mildly sweet but had a wonderful bitter aftertaste, the scent of ground coffee lingering in my palate long after I finished the last bite. I had a taste of my friend's raw blueberry cheesecake and we had quite a bit of fun trying to guess what they made it out of. It was alright - I would've wanted to try the raw tiramisu, if they had it.

Laughing Buddha offers all kinds of Asian cuisines including Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese, Singaporean and even Mongolian. The menu (once you get over the quantity of dishes and the squashed typesetting) offers the most varied and unusual choices I've ever seen. Where else can you try Shanghai Pork Pies (£4.90), Duck with Minced Prawn Stuffing (£12) or Mongolian Lamb (£10.80). Not only that, they have 9 different varieties of spare ribs and no less than 19 sauces to choose as accompaniments to your meal. Unpretentious decor, authentic cuisine, and no sight of MSG anywhere. Winner.

We ate a mid-/late-afternoon dinner there today and we loved every aspect. They had a special deal…read morewhereby (certain) starters were 3.50 pounds/each (or 4 for 10 pounds) before 5:00 p.m. and (a very limited number of) entrées were 8.95 pounds/each before 5:00 p.m. I had the vegetarian pasta entrée and my husband had the mariscos entrée, both of which were delicious - but we were still a little hungry, so we ordered (and shared) two starters afterwards (hummus and tzatziki). Those were also delicious (the serving sizes weren't large, although certaily sufficient) and the hummus was probably the best we've ever tasted. The pita bread was warm and very tasty. The two servers were *super*-nice young guys. The interior of the restaurant is very attractive, with lots of art and some photos on the walls. Also, the restroom was spotless. Note that the restaurant is located in Didsbury (just down the street from the entrance to the Old Parsonage Gardens).

Located in front of The Didsbury pub and a short walk away from my favourite Botanical garden (Fletcher Moss) this intimate Greek foodie haven is already a favourite with the locals. All the Tapas looked delicious so we decided (between the 4 of us) to go for the 8 for £40 deal and add more if necessary. Predictably My favourites included Lamb chops, Mussels and Funghi in blue cheese sauce. Admittedly this particular visit was more about catching up with friends rather than focusing on food. This meant that amidst flowing conversation the Tapas was gone before we knew it and our collective recollection of the food was hazy at best. (The Vino didn't help) Look out for a more detailed review after the next visit. All in all the vibe was fantastic though and I highly recommend this place for a quiet intimate dinner.

We had an assortment of drinks with some expertly mixed cocktails and some really great beers. We spent the vast majority of the evening here and the place was constantly busy with locals popping in for a drink or families coming in for a nice meal.

Turned out to be really cool casual and friendly. Non pretentious honest British food was served with no fuss but still perfectly presented and at a very fair price. Most people around us were here with friends and pints some sharing a board - "like they do in France" - of cheese and bread. We tipped for great service. Just a nice local place where you can expect to bump into your neighbours and come home far too late at night. I forgot to ask them about their bread: gorgeous sourdough bread. We had a great time and snored a lot that night... JB Why not 5 stars: I know it was Friday night. I know it s England. But may be the music was still a bit loud for a 8pm meal.
