About Happy Garden Middleton
On Grimshaw Ln in Manchester, Happy Garden Middleton is a Chinese takeaway that pairs its Chinese menu with English chippy food, so one order can cover both styles. The salt and pepper chicken comes with chips and curry sauce, and salt and pepper chips are also on the menu. Chicken and pineapple is another option from the Chinese side. Customers can see into the kitchen through a window, where the chefs cook. The takeaway opens in the evenings only and is closed on Tuesdays. Payment is cash only.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken is the draw most reviewers return to, served over chips with curry sauce and described as flavourful, freshly made and outstanding, with the kitchen visible through a window. Close behind are the chicken omelette, chicken and pineapple, and chicken and veg, which one reviewer calls non greasy and very fresh, with each portion enough for two adults. Crispy chilli shredded chicken also gets a good word. Several praise friendly, polite staff, and one says the staff are simply busy rather than rude. Others report real problems. One reviewer says they were served raw chicken and that the person on the phone was rude and dismissive and offered no solution. Another describes tasteless chicken and cashew nuts with sloppy chicken and pale, soggy chips that went in the bin. A third found the egg fried rice and chicken chow mein only average. A long-time customer says orders are consistently wrong and only cash is taken. Still, one diner found the soggy salt and pepper chips tasted good enough not to mind.

“Good service and overall decent food. Salt and pepper chips were a bit soggy but tasted amazing so didn’t mind. Crispy chilli shredded chicken was good too. Egg fried rice was average, as was chicken chow mein. Would come again but wouldn’t have the chow mein again.”

- Sharon Buckley
“Ordered chicken omelette, chicken & pineapple and chicken & veg and each portion would feed 2 adults. Absolutely delicious every time. Non greasy and very fresh. Only took 20 minutes delivery.”
