Capecoast Bar, Restaurant and Takeaway in Manchester

Good food, but the service and atmosphere could lets it down massively. It took a solid eternity just to be noticed, and when the food finally arrived, it was delivered with all the finesse of a paperboy on a sugar rush. Slight exaggeration, of course, but I’d suggest this place for when you’re starving—not when you’re after an experience or trying to impress a date! All in all, I’d recommend and likely be back.

Lovely place to have real authentic African food and drinks.

Shall we talk about typical Ghanaian delicacies??? No challenger! Food is an absolute banger! I ate TZ while hubby had Kokonte. And both were hits. Mild flaw is venue &ambiance, needs a step up. Besides that, everything is a 10/10. Fred who served us is a very friendly chap. Deffo coming again.

I have not visited the restaurant yet just ordered online ,foods quite good well packaged . My only negative comment would be I sometimes get good turkey wings and some times it's literally bones , kinda annoying paying £8 for predominantly bones but apart from that they make tasty food .

Came here to eat with a friend for the first time last weekend. The food was so good, and the portion sizes were generous. Our server (Benjamin) was so nice and made us feel very comfortable. The only slight let down was the time taking for the food to come out but the taste made up for it. All in all i would come back next time I'm in Manchester.

Really enjoyed the fufu and light soup…. Just perfect

Nice music but it was too loud for an eatery.

1 star overall because of awful customer service. Food always late, prices not up to date on menu online and it seems like kitchen staff do as they please with your order! Very rude when there is an issue with your order, avoid!

Had a lovely meal, served by Belinda. Unfortunately, our meals did not come out at the same time. I had almost finished before my friends arrived. I would have liked to have been offered water to wash our hands before our meal. It was a very cold and wet night. The restaurant was also very cold. The owner said they are moving to new premises, this will be a bonus for this business. Will definitely be back.

Went there multiple times , The food was always bang on, ordered groundnut soup with rice ball and also fufu and some fried plantain. Down side it's always serviced which it's always incredibly slow,food takes on average between 45 minutes to an hour to arrive at the table every time. The atmosphere is very typical with a nice music selection, although especially in winter inside it's always a bit too cold. Again the food it's very very delicious, so would be great if they could implement it the rest.

Visited with a big group, and it was truly outstanding. The staff, especially the friendly waitress, made the experience memorable. Unlike many other places, this restaurant stood out with its unique charm, offering a delightful journey of flavors that captured the essence of Ghanaian cuisine. The vibrant atmosphere added to the enjoyment. Every moment was filled with joy, making it a standout experience. If I'm back in Manchester, I'll definitely revisit for the fantastic food, great vibes, and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I ordered fufu with soup and suya from them today and it was terrible. The whole food is in the bin and it cost £24. U guys should do better because it horrible to waste money

Be careful when you visit this place, make sure you calculate everything you order before you pay, three times they’ve tried to charge me extra which I found shocking. Never visiting this place again.!!

amazing food, had fufu and light soup and my wife had okra and banku

Dishonesty at its Best! There is definitely not going to be a third visit to this filthy and unwelcoming restaurant with rude owner, pricey and poor customer service. And if you add thievery to the above then definitely there is a problem. And the owner knows that in May of 2023 after a 1st visit, we had a lengthy chat where through her pleas I had to delete a review. But not this time. People may want to give value to their hard earned money if they decide to go to a restaurant or wherever with their family. Presently, there are many cheaper options to choose from- Chinese, Indian, Spanish, Italian, and Greece restaurants which are of outstanding Mediterranean diets and where customers are treated with respect. May, 2023 was my 1st visit. I paid for turkey-tail as a takeaway. When we got home I found fish had been wrapped for me. In November 2023, i ended up there forced by circumstances and ordered 3 meals with 3 drinks with a total bill of £69. When we got home I realised 2 charges of £69 each taken from my account. Initially, I thought it was a mistake. But have shifted from that opinion putting all events together. The owner does not recognise how expensive her restsurant is. £18 a plate here is the price of a buffet elsewhere! The worst is that they argue they only took one charge!!! Later on, they only acknowledged it might have been a mistake which I did also agree, expecting they would take a robust and swift steps to refund extra money taken. What they refuse to understand is that unauthorised use of someone's bank details is illegal and is considered fraud. Series of messages were futher sent but they ignored them though I could reckon they read them. The bank was informed about the development and refunded the money stating that they will deal with the issue. Days later, I got the following message from the owner of the restaurant: "Are ok ? Are you sure you are perfectly fine ? Our social media handler sent you a message, and we have proof of it so you can go ahead and do whatever you want ... there is evidence of communication and i don't see where we ignored you... If you don't want to respond and come for your money, that's your business". It is very shocking that a business owner should talk to a client in the terms above, especially when she has clearly and on two occasions cunningly stole from me. Firstly, because they have clearly used dubious means to take money from me. I doubt she is aware of the fact that the client is always right. Let's call a spade by its real name. The 1st time we got there after a long journey to look for something Ghanaian, we almost drove back because the building did not show there was any activities going on inside and it was by my insistence I got out to check. We are all proud, at least me, to see a Ghanaian enterprise triumph, not by stealing and the laziness we see back home. The food is OK and by shifting from that Ghanaian mentality of making money without really working for it, by lazing around, the restaurant could be a prosperous business. That will start with the owner re-educating herself with good manners and not the message she sent to me below. Also, the restaurant needs a different look, the average waiting time of OVER ONE HOUR TO 2 HOURS for clients to be served needs shortened , etc. Neither will taking two payments and denying it will because unless you are unware of, cardpayments always leave evidence as in this case. The worst is your arrogance. Instead of apologising you rather become offensive? So I should travel to Manchester for the refund if i want it? Beware there is rule of law as well as customer protection. I was very persuasive with you, that your inaction would warrant me using tools such as action fraud, customer protection agency, etc, etc. So wise up because taking money for turkey and giving me fish is unwise and dangerous thing to do should I be allergic to that. And it is fraud to use me bank details other than you are intended to or authorised to use for. Thanks

The food was absolutely amazing, customer was also great. I would definitely recommend visiting

Much improved service and food quality.

Myself and my partner searched out this place upon visiting Manchester for first time. It was the tail end of a Sunday evening but still the atmosphere was great. If you want to experience a relaxed, humble and welcoming family briskness then don’t miss this. Food was honestly insane and my partner even admitted her Jallof rice was not as good. Aim for a Saturday night for music

Best place to eat African food😍

A true taste of Ghanaian hospitality. It's been 2 visits and I enjoyed every one of those. My fufu was exactly how I wanted it and my waakye met expectations.

Time-wasting and delays are their best qualities. When they say to expect your food in 30 minutes, give it an hour. The food is great though!

Really love this restaurant. I usually visit this restaurant on special occasions. They specialise in Ghanaian food. I visited this restaurant on Easter and Father's Day.

I haven’t had the opportunity to eat fufu in over two years and Capecoast gave me that! Soup was delicious, portion size were really good! Also the starter sharing plate was top tier! The fried yam was soo crunchy just the way it should be 😃 Definitely looking forward to coming back. One tip to share is , give them a call before arrival if you know you are quite hungry. Overall food experience was soo good!

It took so long to order and receive the food. However, the food was amazingly delicious. My friends also enjoyed it. It was worth the wait for food to arrive. The environment needs an upgrade to suit a modern day restaurant. I'll suggest a touch of the Ghanaian or African culture to be displayed here.

Shouldn't even be classed as a restaurant. No greeting when we walked in. Menu prices aren't the real prices they are 30% more £12 is actually £18. The worst service I've ever seen, embarrassing really after waiting an hour and 20 minutes was told they didn't have any chicken. Never seen a place so poorly run. Left without getting food but the waiter wanted double the price on the drinks because the drinks menu hadn't been "adjusted " avoid unless you have 7 hours spare.

Shocking experience! Waited for ages and and ages for our order, over an hour. We had children with us who were very hungry too. We ended up walking out, only paying for our drinks because I would not have been able to sleep knowing that I'd have paid them sort of prices for that sort of service. We was looking forward to it too. If you have hours to spare you can go and wait, if not do not bother at all.

Absolutely horrible place, way too pricey, 18£ for fufu and light soup imagine. And food took about 1 hour to come out. Just completely avoid this place.

The dancing floor was fantastic and the bands men did good music thanks to Naa and the staffs

In fact I'm was disappointed with the service I got there. The food took 2 hours after ordering and everybody was very angry. Please if you want to go and enjoy yourselves, eat at home before going.

The food is okay but they take forever to bring it. You could wait for a minimum of 1 hour even after pre ordering. I deffo lost my appetite after the food arrived.

Good Ghanaian food and Music. The ambience gives you a feeling of being at home in Ghana

Now don't get me wrong I love my Ghanaians but honestly speaking Customer service was shocking, they don't greet/or speak to you, no one was at the bar and all staff were in the kitchen. We continuously had to knock on the kitchen door and wait for someone to come out to then be served (even when we wanted to pay!). Now the wait time!! we waited at least 10-15 minutes for them to bring drinks out (please bare in mind we were the only customers in the shop at the time) .. the wrong drinks too at that!! Food was very much mediocre given the new updated prices. If you do visit this restaurant PLEASE be prepared to wait & wait & wait!

Me and some friends went there to try their food and believe me they didn't let us down. Food was really nice and the service was excellent but the is a 40 minutes waiting time which is understandable as they prepare your meal fresh. Will definitely be going back for some more and i do recommend this restaurant. Keep up the good work guys. 👏

Great food but service is so poor and slow. It took me 4 hours to get my food served. You go here if you have the whole day to waste honestly.

The food was absolutely delicious

Ridiculously overpriced and it’s not even that good too

Delicious Ghanaian food and an array of drinks to go with your food.

Loved it!!! 😘😘 Banku and Okra 5/5 Rice ball and peanut soup 5/5 I didn’t get the chance to the light soup but I heard it was good. Would definitely recommend.

Don’t let the 2 negative reviews stop you from visiting this restaurant. It was just unfortunate and I’m glad I went before seeing the reviews. My boyfriend and I visited it a couple of weekends ago. The atmosphere felt like home, the waitress served us with a smile. I liked that there was a hand washing sink in the corner and I liked the music.The prices are very reasonable and the food was worth every single penny. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day for lunch🤓

Delicious food,5 stars to the chef, However was let down by the very slow service. Waited 25 mins for drinks, 45 mins for starters then another hour for mains. Unacceptable to have to wait so long for service. Please employ more staff. One Guy was working on his own, felt sorry for him.

Good and tasty meals as well as very affordable …..Really enjoyed your fufu and Nkrakra !!!!

Very nice place excellent workers and delicious food.

Terrible customer service. I won't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Poor poor poor.....

Honestly, I was very disappointed. If I could give zero stars I would. They say we need to support African business but I would not come here again. We had to wait for 30 mins for the drinks order to be taken, 30 mins to bring it. Another 40 mins to come take the food orders. One food came out after 1 hr 30 mins. My friend asked for a spoon and shito they came after 30 mins . I mean.....and all the food came after like 30 - 40 mins intervals. The food was just ok. The service was horrible. Management needs to sit down and restructure the whole business.

Attended on new years eve around 8.30pm with a friend. I'm Nigerian and this was my first time trying Gh food and I'll certainly be back. The music, food and service was fantastic from start to finish. We ordered the platter to start which contained beef kebab with suya spices , turkey wings and kelewele. The kebab was beautiful ! We enjoyed the wings so much we ordered more. Also had the red red and waakye. The beans were wonderfully seasoned. Can't wait to come back with more friends and family!!

Friendly atmosphere, lovely food. Needs to be bigger to accommodate large events

Tasty and delicious food. Great customer service and very nice environment. I got value for my money’s worth

Brilliant service. I was offered snacks whiles waiting for my meal.

This place makes you feel at home with delicious African meals. Especially Ghana and Nigeria meals.

Great restaurant, amazing food and service.

Horrible place, rude staff and disgusting food. The place does not resemble Ghana at all. Do not recommend.

Lovely food would have given 5* if we wasn't kept waiting so long.

Tasty food and excellent service. Would highly recommend to others

This place is worse place to order from or to go there and eat. Honestly I feel like they don't care about waiting time and service this place had my 8yrs old daughter hungry couse they won't honest about there time and how long is gone take... It took over a hour and half for them to get me food.

The staff were perfect, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great 😃👍 10/10, would recommend

Great food and lovely amazing people

Beautiful place. Nice food taste real Ghana food. Good costumer service

First time I've ever been in there. I was getting a takeaway for myself and family, but really found myself wanting to stay there. The hospitality is amazing. Food was beyond sublime 😊

The best Ghanaian/African restaurant & Bar in Manchester

Order took way too long, food was ok

Amazing Ghanaian Cusine at up and coming venue. Had a really tasty light soup with goat meat and Ghanaian speciality Fufu. Tilapia and fried Yam also very tasty not to mention the Ampesie Kontomire stew, similar to spinach. Nice seating area with local west African music and space for parking at the rear. Small portions available of fried plantain or yam for the little ones which made a great family night out. Would highly recommend.

Nice African food with good ambient.

My favourite Ghanaian restaurant and I love it😍😍

When I can't be asked to cook .. I just call to order then collect when it's done. Lovely staff

Lovely place to enjoy your local meal.

Their dishes were authentic and very delicious
