Bardez in Manchester

We were in Manchester for just one night and ran across this restaurant really by accident. It was authentic Indian food. The owner any staff were wonderful and the food was delicious

Had a meeting scheduled and decided to have it with dinner. Great food and service in a bubbly atmosphere. Been here a few times before and never let down. Everything served is fresh and well presented, along with being authentically Indian. Great place and by far, the best in the curry mile.

My third visit. Always impressed by the food, the atmosphere and the staff. This time they had a cute boy singing to guitar. Marcus is and enthusiastic delight. Such an upgrade from the average curry house.

I have been dining at this exquisite restaurant since it opened and the food and service is consistent every time. The chefs invite you into a culinary delight of the Goan flavours and spices. The ala carte menu is inventive and typical Goan. Having visited Indian and travelled extensively and frequented many Indian Restaurants around the world this is the best! Every dish brings different flavours that explode into gustatory delight! All the individual dishes have a unique taste. The chefs take care in the preparation of food and are passionate about the dishes they produce. The restaurant is super clean, atmosphere is welcoming and the servers are polite, efficient and none intrusive. This makes a very relaxing enjoyable meal out. Marcus one of the directors of Bardez is awesome. He knows customer service better than anyone. He is welcoming, always has a smile on his face and you can see how passionate he is about Bardez. His ethos shines throughout. All the staff clearly enjoy what they are doing. It is an absolute pleasure to come and dine here. Keep up the good work to all at Team Bardez! Namaste

Great place. Served quickly and good food. Friendly staff also. Ordered two lots of the mango lassi because it was just so damn delicious! Would definitely come again.

We went for a Sunday buffet in the Didsbury branch. We weren’t rushed. Food was fab and really good service. They were so helpful with us bringing a birthday cake and we had a relaxing time. Like the decor.

We really enjoyed our evening. Staff were very friendly. The menu had some dishes we hadn’t ever seen or tried before and the staff were helpful in explaining and recommending some dishes. The chaat they suggested was absolutely delicious. We were lucky to be treated to live music- a lovely singer who switched effortlessly from pop classics to Indian music. The atmosphere was quiet when we first arrived but quickly became lively and buzzy. Overall we would highly recommend this place.

Lamb shank Rogan Josh........... Fabulous food, impressive owner. Shame about the ignorant ladies on the next table allowing their delightful children to run riot around the restaurant. Dealt with professionally by staff.

I organised an after work party here from Paediatric haematology at Bardez in Rusholme as it is very close to the hospital. The service was outstanding and the food 5 star quality. Very very impressed with Bardez! Myself and all my colleagues will be coming back and we will be having further work events here. The attention to detail, the attentiveness of the staff was 5 star. The presentation of the food was on point and the spices used in the food... incredible. I am obsessed with cooking and I could not fault a single thing. Marcus is also the best host and very professional, completely on the same page as me when it comes to customer service. All my colleagues were made to feel very special and they loved every minute of it. Outstanding night. Well done Bardez, we will be back.

Amazing food , I went with colleagues from work . The service was excellent and it was Indian food ( canapés) that i hadn’t tried before . I’m vegan so was easily catered for . The staff and atmosphere was great . I would highly recommend

Yet again, a 10/10 for this place. Had some of the dishes and origins of them explained before choosing. Broccoli chaat is superb as were the salmon and lamb chops done in the tandoor. Excellent service and a first class meal. Never disappoints

We first came here for our anniversary in June and the food was that fantastic we booked for New Year’s Eve. Once again food was fantastic but it was the kindness we received that made our night. Marcus took the time to sit with us and explain about the food and his plans for the future. We asked about some shots that we saw people having and he got us some to sample, can’t remember what they were called but a pure taste of explosion. They were like a small poppadom donut and the drink you filled them with was amazing. Sadly my amazing dad had passed away that morning so we were going to cancel our booking. We decided to go as my dad would not have wanted us to mope around. Was the best decision we made, your kindness and hospitality for the time we were there helped us through a difficult night. I am so sorry we did not have any cash to leave a tip, we were very disorganised under the circumstances. We will be back in the very near future and we will make up for it then. Thank you again for fantastic food and amazing hospitality xx

Excellent food, excellent service, brilliant atmosphere, I highly recommend this amazing restaurant. You won't be disappointed. We tried a number of different dishes. The Lamb shank is next level. We will most definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely amazing spot. Such a hidden gem. Students get 15% off as well. The food was out of this world. Definitely the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten.

Hi Zico We all had great time last night, everyone looked after us so well, food was really tasty, and all staff members had a wonderful smile on their faces ( service with smile 😃)we had a really good feedback from our guests and we wish you a great success in your new Restaurant From Ladies group

Had our Xmas doo at bardez and was by far the best. The food was out of this world & the staff were all lovely ! All 29 of us enjoyed the food & had a beautiful time Thank you so much :)

First time visiting with my wife. It was her 50th and she chose this based on reviews. When we arrived, first impression on decor and atmosphere was fine. When looking at the menu, compared to the usual 'indian restaurants' it seemed pretty limited. This worried us a little at this stage. For starters we had salt and pepper lamb and chicken 65. Both were brilliant, full of flavour like nothing we have ever tasted before. For mains we had Dum Ghost and Lamb Shank Rogan Josh. Lamb as teder as you like in both dishes. The flavour was exceptional, the Ghost a deeper flavour the the Rogan Josh that was delicious and a little sweet. Mushroom rice and garlic & coriander naan was excellent quality. Washed down with a couple of Kimng Fishers it was a solid 8/10 from us and we will be back again soon.

This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE in so many ways. The food, vibe and service is TOP NOTCH. The food is AUTHENTIC INDIAN. 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️ This is by far the best Indian restaurant in Manchester. Thanks very much for the nice food and great service HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fist time at this restaurant came recommended and wasn’t disappointed, staff were lovely,service was attentive and friendly, food was a delight, lamb chops , alloo tikka, dum gosht ( lamb on the bone) chicken handi, garlic nan all beautifully spiced and tasty, owner Marcus was a true gentleman ordered us a taxi home as well, this is a must try restaurant, we will be back soon

Just had the most delicious meal here. Salmon Tikka starter (you’d think that would overwhelm the fish but it was delicately done it did not!) and Lamb Chop Suka and mushroom rice. (Medium rare lamb for a change on the Curry Mile, and beautifully cooked/spiced rice). Absolutely gorgeous. I was lucky enough to come on the 21st October, which was an Indian festival - there was a delightful group in all dressed exquisitely and having a ball, and the kitchen staff joined in. The staff were delightful - though it was a busy night. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant experience from start to finish. Authentic but informal ambience, superb food and great service. A memorable night all round.

Great food, attentive staff, clean venue, good overall value... with the multiple options on the curry miles daunting us we took a punt on this restaurant and were not disappointed. Would visit again.

Beautiful place the food was exceptional. The staff were very accommodating the whole place had a real buzz absolutely fantastic night for birthday celebrations with friends and would highly recommend and definitely be visiting again

Yet again, a flawless evening in this gem of a restaurant. Service that is always attentive and the food is the taste of authentic India. The chaat selection is incredible. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Well to my somewhat limited experience it seemed authentic. It was without doubt leagues above in good quality to the recent unwelcome plethora of ‘upmarket and upgraded’ Indian restaurants which manage to dilute a real food culture to a bland eating experience. This food was...
