Best Casual Restaurants in Chorlton

Absolutely brilliant Christmas dinner at Kala. Food was, as always, amazing. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. It's the first time we have eaten out for Christmas dinner but we loved the experience and it definitely won't be the last. Thank you to all the FOH staff and of course those working hard in the kitchen to deliver a superb meal.

Always such a pleasure to come here - absolutely incredible food every time and the staff are so great. Perfect ambience too - feels high end yet still informal and welcoming.

Loved the whole thing experience & efforts for my brother birthday. Unsure of server name, though women with ginger hair was amazing and very welcoming definitely be visiting again.

Lunch for 2 on the seasonal £40 sharing menu in the Saturday before Christmas. I’d heard and read so many good things about Higher Ground but not managed to get here until now, all of which were entirely justified. The interior (my bag) is cool, stylish and well laid out, tables not too close to each other. A really friendly welcome when we walked in, genuine and warm. Superlative staff, informed, enthusiastic without being over attentive, and knowledgable. Wonderful food, a smashing selection of dishes from the full menu. Pea fritters, British crab, incrediblly tasty cured meat, golden beets, warm freshly baked bread & whipped butter, succulent leeks - all excellent. Then a sharing main of Dexter beef on a delicate but hearty mushroom spelt porridge and a bowl of mash homegrown on the HG farm in Cheshire. I’ll be attempting to recreate smoked butter at home but doubtless will fail to make it this delicious. For the quality of food, attention to detail, quality of service, this was £40 per head very well spent. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

The overall experience was impeccable. Some of the tastiest Indian food in Manchester - all of the ingredients were fresh and great quality. The service was very friendly and attentive. This was my second time visiting the restaurant and I will definitely be returning!
