    The burgers weren't great compared to other burger places that are within a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Diner. The chicken burger was too dry and the beef burger was pretty dry. The place is pretty much a self service and you pay for your order before it arrives. Mac and cheese was the best part of the meal.

    The New Yorker offers a 'get comfy' kind of environment, with a relaxed atmosphere, and screens to showcase what’s on offer while you wait. What impressed us the most was their staff - the most friendliest and helpful staff you'd hope for. They were always up to accommodating our needs while helping with food choices. The New Yorker is not your ordinary food joint, making it an American experience worth taking. Menu Recommendation Drinks - Premium Candy Shakes Sides - NY Cheesy Fries Mains - Dirty Chicken + Waffle Desserts - Milky Bun

    The decor was excellent, but the food wasn't as good as I was expecting. I was hyped after hearing the opinion of one of my friends and I was left fairly disappointed. The buns really let the burgers down. If they had used better quality bread, the food would have been 4*. On the plus side, the chips were nice and crunchy. The restrooms were also out of service, which was another negative point against NYD.

    Overall I can't fault the place but it wasn't a place that I would go out of my way to comeback to. The food was fresh and tasted alright. The place was very quiet and the overall appearance of the place was done to a good standard. Just a shame the overall presentation of the seating wasn't looked after in the sence chairs were all over the place and it didn't help that it was only me and my brother in there so just made the place look messy. The staff were friendly and the food came in good time. The dessert I tried was the chewy waffle which was far better than the regular waffles you get these days. In all honesty it's a place you try once atleast and that's probably it.

    The place was a little cold but the seats were comfy. I ordered the chicken wings and have to say they tasted amazing. Cruncy with tender meat and a good size wing. I also got the sloppy fries and have to say I was dissapointed. I expected a bigger portion that would make my mouth water. It was a modest portion of fries with basic mince on there. Wouldn't call it spicy and a little dollop of cheese sauce. Service was good and food arrived promptly. Have to say though I felt sorry for the young girl behind the counter. She was working alone and looked very stressed, try to manage orders, wait on customers, clean tables and make the desserts and drinks. Its far too much for one person to do all day, but she didn't get our order wrong. I would come back again..but hopefully there is an improvement in there food and it looks more like the pictures online.

    When here with my wife and 2 year old. Nice food. We love the hot dogs, The burger is ok, No complaint there. The reason we don't give 5 start because our table is dirty. Its all sticky. No one bother to wipe the table. We have to do it ourself with a baby wipe.

    If the sound of Burgers and Chicken Waffles tickles your fancy, head on to New Yorker Diner Situated on Portland Street, a few steps away from Piccadilly Gardens, New Yorker Diner provides some good old American diner food and is all halal! It has an underground hipster, retro cafe vibe especially considering you’ve gotta go downstairs to get to the diner. They have some really good lunchtime saver offers, so it’s even more of a reason to pop by. On our outing, we filled our tummies with; Bklyn Boy [£7.99] - (or said as Brooklyn Boy :P ) We’re loving combo dishes at the moment because it’s so difficult with the good food out there, so we got ourselves a beef and chicken mash up. The sweet, chilli (Chipotle) mayo gives it that nice spicy kick you know you’re craving and with both the chicken & beef patty cooked the right amount, this is the meal you’re after Badman Burger [£8.49] - Drool alert with double buttermilk chicken fillets and sriracha sauce, because why have one when you can have two. The gherkins add a twang to this dish and we enjoyed this Kickin’ Wingers x5 (Bbq Jerk) [£2.99] - The wings were fried (no batter) and were in such a yummy sauce, quite tangy and sweet. Not a usual flavour we go for and definitely glad we tried it All the burgers can be made into meals for an extra £1.99 (pick a side and drink). Our sides were New Yorker Fries and Creamy Mash. The Fries were good but the mash seemed like a standard boxed mash so if in doubt, go for the fries If only we had space left to eat more because we were so intrigued by the Peanut Buttercup Fries...watch this space!

    I had the Dirty Poutine (Poutine with fried chicken strips on top. pictured) and a milkshake. The food and the drink were really nice. The service was quick and the staff were welcoming. Didn't have to wait too long for my food either. Reasonably priced as well. The place looks small on the outside but actually has a fair amount of tables and room. No complaints.

    I recently had the unfortunate experience of visiting the New Yorker and I must say, the service was absolutely abysmal. It is with great disappointment that I write this review, as I had heard positive things about this establishment in the past. However, my encounter left me feeling frustrated and disheartened. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive throughout the entire evening. It was as if they were completely unaware of the customers' needs and preferences. My attempts to engage with them were met with indifference, which further exacerbated my frustration. Furthermore, the overall ambiance of the restaurant was far from inviting. The atmosphere felt stale and unwelcoming, which significantly impacted my dining experience. It is unfortunate that a restaurant with such potential fails to create an environment that is enjoyable for its patrons. Given my experience, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend the New Yorker to anyone. There are numerous other dining establishments in the area that offer far superior experiences, and I would encourage anyone seeking a pleasant evening to steer clear of this disappointing establishment.

👍👍 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...
