    We went to Las iguanas to celebrate my partners birthday! The vibe was great in there! Music was brill! The food was excellent and our server was lovely! We thought it would be nice to surprise my partner with a birthday drink so without her knowing my friend popped to the bar and asked them to bring over a birthday cocktails for her! They said they would which was great! Then we waited about 30 mins, by this point we had finished our food and weren’t getting dessert, so we were just sat waiting trying to not act weird so she didn’t know anything was going on! In the end they didn’t bring the cocktail so we paid and left!

    Good restaurant. The food is pretty spicy and I don't like spicy food, so it was a little difficult. Went for a birthday celebration so wasnt disappointed with the food as there is loads of vegan and gluten free options. The food was tasty. Just on the spicy side. There isn't too many desserts to choose from though however. The cocktails are 2 4 1 all day so that is really good. Is a nice restaurant to try

    Can’t fault this chain pretty much anywhere. The food was great, and the service was ok too. Particularly this restaurant is very well decorated with a great vibe. Money well spent!

    Friendly welcome however once seated restaurant was freezing Cold ❄️ Slow drinks service as i could see our drinks ready and a few waiters just talking around the bar. Food was great but again massively let down by the service.

    I came for a bottomless brunch with my boyfriend and the service and food was amazing. Ashley always served us with a smile and was very prompt every time when asking if we needed a drink/anything else . Great place to come for a date - will definitely be coming back!

    Went for a bottomless brunch paid for by work. It was a very limited menu. I opted for chicken tacos. It was hilarious when my food arrived as it was three bite sized tortillas with a spoonful of chicken on top. Would have been nice as a starter. Everyone else said the food was good but portions were tiny. I know times are hard now but just put your prices up so that you can offer a decent meal. The drinks took ages to arrive obviously not to let you have too much. The staff were friendly and the food that wasn't in bottomless brunch looked really nice but I can only judge by my experience.

  • 5/5 Troye D. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious food that comes at a decent pace. I ordered the steak fajitas, which comes deconstructed, so you don't need to worry about what's on it and don't need to use what you don't like. The order behind mine (behind the yellow bowl) is a chicken burrito. You order and pay online which is nice, but if your payment doesn't go through, then it's quite difficult flagging down a waiter. Would definitely go here again with friends and/or family. Plus, multiple people can order/pay for their own meals at the table at different times, so it's great for groups who don't want one single person to pay.

    Food was lovely but I prefer my prawns ready to eat and unfortunately for me these weren't but that's personal preference. Service was good but personally I don't like to hand over my phone for it to be taken away for a code to be scanned. It was mid week so perhaps that's why there wasn't much of an atmosphere as it was pretty empty. The decor was great though. Overall a great visit and I would return, although I'd stick to chicken fajitas.

  • 5/5 Tom D. 9 months ago on Google
    Fantastic service, food and drinks. Bottomless brunch is also mint. Not been here on a Friday, but I work in the office above and can always hear the music on a Friday night, so probably a sign that it's a good place to to to.

    We were here for a hen party with a group of 8 recently. We loved the experience and the service was fantastic. However, unfortunately four of the group members ended up with food poisoning after eating dishes with the meat chilli. We had awful symptoms over several days. It's such a shame as it had been a lovely experience!

    We had bottomless brunch, Lovely food, fast with drinks, great options for drinks including spirits. Our server made sure we never ran out of drinks, all servers were lovely.

    Me and my friends went for bottomless brunch for my friends birthday. The food was lovely, and the service was even better. We were served by Tiegan who could not be more attentive to our table and made sure we always had a drink! Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Ffion H. 7 months ago on Google
    Our server Tiegan was amazing! so so lovely and quick and couldn’t have been more helpful. The food was stunning and the drinks were flowing for bottomless brunch. would highly recommend for anyone looking for bottomless brunch in Manchester!

    I've visited with 4 friends for my birthday. We did the bottomless brunch, and I've got mixed feelings. Our server Ania was wonderful, big up Ania, well done. I got a free fudge brownie with non-dairy ice cream (nice, lactose, and I don't get along). But, for a 2h bottomless, the first drink arrived 25-30 minutes into the booking. We saw our food on the kitchen counter waiting to be bussed out for 20 min. It was under the heat lamps, so the outside was warm, but the inside of my burger was colder. I think they were understaffed. Oh, and drinks were half water/ice, quarter limes, and quarter mixers/alcohol.

    Prebooked a 2 course Christmas meal with friends. Mainly due to gluten free options available. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Extensive drinks menu - i tried a few coctails and tye salted caramel martini was amazing! Absolutely will be back in the new year.

    Visited here for bottomless brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Our table was booked for 3 but unfortunately due to protests in the town centre and alot of road closures, we didn't arrive until 3:30. We did try ringing however no one answered our calls. The waitress looking after us explained instead of the 2 hours we would only get 1hour and half plus a bottle of prosecco to make up for time lost on cocktails. It was very busy and very loud to the point you couldn't hear conversations being had on your table or the music being played. The bottomless cocktails weren't very bottomless......we got 5 drinks each and the wait in between each drink was a long time. Having been to other bottomless brunches and experiencing a much more positive time this wasn't one of my favourites. The food was gorgeous, I had the baihan chicken curry and would 1 million percent recommend that, however when you go to a boozy bottomless brunch for £35 you definitely hope you are going to get your money's worth on cocktails and drinks and unfortunately I just don't think we did this time.

    Ashley was our server great service 👍🏼 highly recommend great food great cocktails great atmosphere had a lovely day

  • 5/5 Harvey S. 9 months ago on Google
    Ashley was fabulous! He came straight over as soon as we arrived and explained how the Bottomless Brunch worked. Virtually as soon as we’d finished our 1st drink he was asking if we wanted to order something else. He was on top of it for the whole 2hrs!! I had the beef chilli bowl, hubby had the coconut curry and my son enjoyed the chicken tacos- all absolutely delicious if a little small on the portions. Overall a lovely meal xx Thanks Ashley from Deansgate LI!!!

    The waiter was amazing. Really helped make the meal special and was very chatty. The food and drink was great, as always!

  • 4/5 Becky T. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped in Easter Sunday and there was ample seating available, and the food came out extremely quickly. Service was great, the 2 for 1 cocktails are decent (a little small/weak, but ok with the deal). There are several vegetarian options, and particularly recommend the enchiladas. The flavors are pretty nice, though portions slightly small compared for the cost.

  • 4/5 paulo d. 9 months ago on Google
    It was the first time I went back to this Iguanas in Manchester since 2010. There is a different vibe nowadays, slightly younger clientele, food is not as elaborate as before and less noisy and it actually works. The food now is more directed at sharing with many starters on that category and they do the 2 for 1 cocktails which both helps bring that younger crowd in. Before it used to have a nice late night vibe of latin music, and people actually dancing in front of the bar, don't know if that still happens at night, but didn't get that impression somehow. Food wise good place to go and have some, almost, authentic Latin American food!

  • 5/5 Georgi I. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place for lunch or dinner. The food was delicious and sufficient. In fact, I could not finish the three dishes menu. But I do not eat much. Excellent location.

  • 5/5 Dan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a really nice time, we did bottomless brunch and the food and cocktail choices were fantastic we really enjoyed what we had! The staff were also super lovely and made the experience even better!

  • 5/5 Elisha L. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for bottomless brunch during our final day of our stay in Manchester. Charlie (who served us) not only made our drinks perfect, was very attentive and made sure we had our fill! Mind you, all the staff were friendly, easy to talk to, fun, caring and really made us feel welcome. Food was amazing too! Will be coming back next time, and every time after, we come to Manchester!

    Myself and my partner came to Las Iguanas for our first ever experience of bottomless brunch. First of all, we were greeted with a smile and taken to our table, served our first drink and had our food order taken extremely quickly by the waitress, Anna/Ana(unsure of spelling). The food was absolutely delicious and came out so quickly. Ana was so so busy as it seemed she was the only waitress working at the time, at one point I counted she was waiting on 8 tables at once, at least 2 of those being bottomless brunch tables. Despite this, we were not left feeling like we were having our time wasted and we were always served with sincerity and wonderful punctuality. Ana is an absolute credit to this restaurant and I hope our tip reflected this. We had absolutely every single penny worth. The chefs created delicious food, the bartender created gorgeous cocktails and Ana delivered great service. A wonderful team. Thank you so much! You've been part of a wonderful memory for us to add to summer 2022. If it wasn't for people like you, nobody would have any fun in their free time so I appreciate your service very much. Lots of love, Emily x

    Last minute decision to visit Las Iguanas!My work colleague recommended this place for us. Restaurant is very nice decorated and spacious, food is delicious, we had very nice meal there,worth the money. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Garry H. 2 years ago on Google
    Havana Banana 🍌 Cocktail is highly recommended. Decent food and good vibe. But don't say yes to 'Do you want some nachos while you wait?' That'll be £9 added to the bill.

  • 3/5 Dénes F. 2 years ago on Google
    Food were great, drinks were awful. Staff are ok, the place is nice and cozy.

  • 5/5 georgeoi W. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved it true authentic food and great cocktails really worth a go

  • 5/5 Beth J. 2 years ago on Google
    Fast service, and the food was amazing! The cocktails were strong and the 2 for 1 offer is faultless. The portion sizes were big and good quality food. A variety of vegan and veggie options however a fake meat option would be nice! The staff are all friendly too, worth a visit especially if you have veggies or vegans in your party

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
