  “great food , better service. option of indoor and outdoor seating. we always go for a full English and a French toast and it never disappoints. Sunday roast is worth trying. As it's in city centre parking is expensive but that's standard.”

  “Food was delicious. We had the spit roast lamb wrap and Cajun chicken toastie and both were fabulous. The owner went out of her way to help us and was so incredibly lovely. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend!”

  “We found this little cafe tucked away down a side street near our hotel in Manchester, and it turned out to be a great find. With most of the restaurants along Deansgate completely full and queues outside, it was refreshing to stumble across somewhere quieter just a few minutes away. The menu included Turkish eggs, which immediately caught my eye. The dish was served with perfectly cooked eggs, yoghurt, harissa and a blend of spices, and it was absolutely delicious. It was one of those breakfasts that feels both comforting and full of flavour, and easily one of the nicest meals I had during the trip. The food was very well priced, the quality was excellent, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere felt relaxed and personal, very much like a small family-run cafe rather than a busy city chain. I ended up complimenting the chef because the food and service were both spot on. It was a simple breakfast done properly, and exactly the kind of place you hope to find when travelling. A really good hidden gem just off the main stretch, and somewhere I would happily return to next time I’m in Manchester.”

  “This is a nice little cafe to stop off at and they do some hearty looking meals, but they didn't have enough vegan options for me, that's all. There was only African looking lady behind the counter there and I thought she could have been a bit quicker really, even though she was nice and helpful and when we left, we said goodbye and she said, thanks and goodbye also. Not very busy, when we went in so the atmosphere was good, as I don't like places that are loud and over-busy, crowded places anyhow. I would go there again, though my partner who I was with, Steven, didn't rate their coffee, that's all. The seating we choose in there, was comfortable enough also.”

  “So, I tried their Rossiter's chicken with creamy pasta salad, baked potato, and a wild salad. Overall, everything was good, but I thought the chicken was a bit bland. It was juicy and cooked well, but it didn't have much flavor - it could have used a little salt. The rice, on the other hand, was perfectly seasoned and cooked right. The salad was also really good. The creamy dressing was great, and the salt was added just right. If you're looking for something new and different, I would definitely recommend giving it a try!”

  “Breakfast was nice, and the food tasted good overall. However, the presentation could have been better — my plate looked a bit like canteen food. That said, it’s a good halal breakfast spot with a nice variety of options to choose from.”

  “We were staying at travelodge central and was bored of the usual breakfast there so decided to go for a walk and so happened passed by this cafe. What a gem! Friendly staff quick service. Good atmosphere. Really enjoyed breakfast. the royale smoked salmon paoched eggs on sourdough with avo salad drizzle of spicy mayo plus the homemade creamy sauce that came with it (served in tiny cup) tasty on my palate. Highly recommended. Will visit again when I’m in Manchester.”

  “Was recommended this place by many people. We chose the Lamb Roast and the Beef Roast. (Fully Halal) I would definitely recommend the Lamb Roast! The Lamb was very tender and flavourful. With the Beef Roast however, the Beef slices didn’t seem fresh and were somewhat dry. There was also a lot less Beef compared to the Lamb Roast. Overall, the customer service was good and the pricing was decent.”

  “Wanted to try something new for a change so I opted for a Sunday roast. Having come across Essy on social media, I felt it best to visit and try it out for myself. The Sunday roast chicken was very nice and didn’t disappoint whatsoever. The chicken panini was good and the French toast I felt could’ve been a lot better (tasted quite eggy and could’ve used proper brioche roll). On a overall, the food and service was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.”
