I regularly come to Essy’s! The food is varied and delicious . The customer service is fabulous, the staff are friendly and always very welcoming. I went for the Sunday special, and the food was delicious. Mega large portion and the lamb was succulent and just melt in the mouth. Great ambience and a must to visit, especially if you have families. Great value for money too! All in all, great spot to visit!

Wanted to like this place but for the price it was poor. The English breakfast is really expensive at nearly £14, so went for a salt beef sandwich. It came with a warm bun but freezing cold beef and was not easy eating. Would suggest they serve the beef hot, would make a much nicer meal. The coffee was not nice either, so nice people but poor food means a poor score

It's a nice, easy place to go for lunch. For the price you pay in the city centre it's pretty standard I would say, you could probably find somewhere cheaper I suppose. But I like the friendly vibe. The "todays" specials havent noticeably changed when I've been lol but they're good so 🤷♂️

We were on a day out and saw this place which looked appealing. Choice looked good. Pre Ordered and paid at the counter, the lad serving was friendly. When the drinks came the waitress just plonked them down, without telling us which coffee was which so we guessed, she followed with the food again no conversation or smile… it doesn’t take much. Food was nice enough

Coffee isn't great, service is similar to a spoons (hence the 2 stars as I think it's pretty standard). Plug sockets don't work, so don't think you can come here and do emails or admin. Nothing special.

Wow! We were working on location today and ordered the Sunday Roast Beef for 4 of us for lunch. It was so lovely, a great range of vegetables, yorkie pud with stuffing and the beef itself was just perfect. Thank you so much, certainly on our list for our next visit to Manchester! Absolutely recommend to anyone in the area!

Came here for breakfast at around noon. The food was good, there was lots of sunlight that could enter the cafe. Really good customer service. You have to order and pay at the counter. Would recommend this as a good place for breakfast, if you’ve got the money for the food.

Don't recommend the salad. Not happy with the quality - broccoli was mushy and food overall looked days old and unappealing. Have ordered the breakfast wrap before and was expecting same high quality.

Felt rushed when asked what I would like to eat. Staff member was unfriendly, asked me what table I was sat at even though I’d not sat down yet and tables were left uncleared with other people’s plates still there. Had to ask for a glass and some ice to go with my bottled drink - wasn’t offered one. Sandwich was okay.

Ordered full rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes. I have no idea what on earth this is, but it's probably the worst food I've had delivered in 2024. This chicken has clearly been left in a warmer for 2 days. Your chef/owner needs to retire

Every time I have ordered from this place I have had a bad experience. Forgotten food and then mixed up orders. Spoke to the manager both times and got told it wouldn’t happen again, we trusted them the first time and then this time is now the final straw. Won’t be ordering here again. Even my friends avoid ordering from this place due to the bad past experiences. Please pay more attention to delivering the correct order.

I had fish a chips for lunch today, with peas. Well the fish was a little mushy - not flaky as I'd expect cod or haddock to be. It came with a small portion of chip, and a tiny portion of marrow fat peas. Staff seem nice but not impressed with the food. Won't be going back.

I am sorry to say but the food I ordered was terrible, I have been a chef 20 years and have never had food this bad. I ordered the cheese pie which was rock solid couldn't even get a bite, the chilli may have tasted ok if there was more than a spoons worth on it and the jacket potato with chilli was the same, tiny amount and swimming in grease. I never normally leave bad reviews but you guys need to do better

Went to the king St one today and it was amazing.. I had the lamb dinner which was amazing and my friend had the vegetarian option which she really enjoyed. The guy who served us (manager I think ) was super helpful and friendly even to our fussy questions and even offered us to try the meat first as I didn't know which to go for. The karak chai is one of the best iv tried and I'm so fussy with it . He made sure we was happy and had everything we needed from start to finish. Will defo be going again and maybe trying a different branch 😁 so nice that they had an alternative to the meat too as most places just give you all the trimmings instead with a veg option 👌

Had the Sunday roast, you can choose from lamb, beef or chicken. Comes with sage & onion stuffed Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, green beans, carrots, mash potatoes, cauliflower cheese and gravy. The roast and sides were excellent! This place is fully halal. I would say the best halal Sunday roast in Manchester 😍 The Kings street branch has plenty of seating but gets busy at the weekend! I have had the full English breakfast which is great too!

Was in Manchester on a Sunday and didn’t realise that the shops didn’t open till 11 so we decided to go to Essy’s for some breakfast and a coffee to kill time. We hadn’t expected too much as we chose Essy’s as it was close to the car park we had parked in and it was raining however… The breakfast and coffees were absolutely amazing! One of the best fry ups I have had in a while and my mocha tasted great - the hash-browns were to die for! The breakfast wasn’t the cheapest being £17 for the fry up and coffee however it was the centre of Manchester and the food was amazing so I think the price was fair and if were to return to Manchester would mean also returning to Essy’s

We chose this place to have breakfast in purely based on review and some pictures and honestly I couldn’t be more disappointed. It felt an absolute waste of money. We ordered avocado with with salsa on sourdough toast, it was rock hard and the salsa was literally cut up onion in big chunk put to on side with big chunks of tomato on the other wide of the plate. That is NOT salsa. The french toast was just as worse few days of old strawberries, not the best bread used to make french toast from. Honestly I could carry on 😓. One more IMPORTANT note to make the hygiene in this place is NOT IT. I had to clean the high chair myself. The floor was dirty, the seats looked they weren’t clean for a while. Overall would NOT recommend.

My partner and I where staying close by and decided to eat here rather that at our hotel, after of course reading essys reviews. On entering, basic cafe, menu looked fantastic, busy too. We ordered 2 big breakfast, tea, coffee, which they gave us with milk. So neither of us have milk but didn’t make an issue. I then sat and watched the young girl plate the dishes up at the countertop, 1 glove on only , eating bits and pieces from the food tins while she did this, ok so she may have been hungry, but not great. Order received, half way through found a hair, really not great. I’m not gonna complain because there was no way I wanted to eat the rest. The bill was over £30. I understand that eating out in Manchester is expensive, maybe this place is the place to be for a good breakfast, according to reviews but, sloppy service, not great on the food hygiene and a hair was enough to put me off. The following day we ate at our hotel , the Moxy, which was nice , and the bill was £24. So disappointed at essys.

The service was amazing however the English breakfast and eggs Benedict was absolutely terrible , we got it an hour late which didn’t help. The eggs were burnt and it was all cold 0/10. The pistachio French toast was 7/10 , the toast was the right amount of fluffy and the pistachio cream just melts in your mouth. Would not go again, a very mid experience.

After our long urban Walk (13km) arrived at Essy's (last minute option as Dishoom wouldn't seat us for breakfast at 11.35, although website clearly states 11.45 to be fair they were nice about it). Back to Essy's, really nice atmosphere, we ordered the the halal full breakfast balm and Essy's Royale with Karack chai. Really pleased with food presentation of the Essy's Royale, and breakfast balm. Both Royale and Balm had plenty of flavour, the halal sausages were nice and spicy in the balm. The hollandaise sauce was nice consistency (not watery) The atmosphere quickly ramped up with lunch time customers. Creating a nice hustle and bustle. The service was really quick, both plates arrives the same time with our chai. The health and hygiene was excellent. Would definitely return here and recommend the breakfast.

Visited this place after seeing it on social media. For me it was not worth the price. Breakfast was £13:45 and the Turkey bacon was the cheap supermarket stuff, you got hardly any beans and only one slice of toast. The coffee was £3.50 again pricy for the quality of it. The customer service from the servers wasn’t the best either and it was a bit run down inside. I personally wouldn’t go again.

We ran an event over 4 days in The Royal Exchange Theatre that needed catering for 45 young people. Claire and Shakeela were more than accommodating for our needs, providing an incredible varied menu for all our participants each day. We had whole chickens, chilli, pies, jacket potatoes and more. Catered, for veggies & gluten free needs too. Our staff and young people were blown away by how good the food was each day. So much so a number of our staff members now return on a weekly basis. P.s. Our staff member Rosie who is a veggie and a celiac, she finds it difficult for establishments to cater for her and says the jacket, cheese and beans is the best in Manchester.

There was a lot of hassle over getting the things on our breakfast dishes, it was called something like Ivy Special breakfast, that they forgot sausages or tomatoes. Staff graciously took the cost of the extra items they forgot off but I'd expect more from the fine dinning experience. The pastries that came with the breakfast didn't taste fresh and I absolutely loved the berry smoothie. The interior is one of a kind, absolutely adore the bathrooms but it's not my style and don't plan to return.
