First visit here today! Got to say, the snacks and mithai (sweets) were very tasty and great when I got home and had them. The shop itself was very clean and well organised with very friendly and polite staff who were welcoming. One thing I thought, in my opinion, was that, the snacks and food were quite pricey. Overall, though, I would come back here now and again - and 100% recommend. A great place for Indian sweets and snacks.

Omg the food is delicious! I wish I lived closer but then I'd be the size of a house. Clean modern and fresh environment. Really friendly too and great range of Indian groceries as well as the amazing samosas and other snacks

Just had a curry at Lily''s for the second time in four days. It was again outstanding, but maybe cards could be placed somewhere giving the name of the dish and/or main ingredients? The guy who served me was a little impatient when I needed to have the description repeated back to me - my hearing isn't always 100%. Outstanding meal though. Thanks.

I love Lilly's Delli, the food is incredibly good and the staff are wonderful and with lots of great things to also buy and take home... I must check out the Ashton Branch...

I've been to Lily's a couple times, and just oh my god it's incredible. One of the best food spots in Manchester. The range and selection is amazing, the quality is amazing and the taste is amazing. I really need to try more of the hot food as I always just get too distracted by the bits out of display 🤤 The staff are always helpful with suggestions and picking out vegan bits for me, and the actual store/grocery side has a good selection. I'd eat here every day if I could.

Good selection of fresh, tasty snacks and sweets, but given a low score from me, for refusing to accept payment in the form of perfectly legal tender (cash) and insisting on digital payment only. I won't come back to this shop in future, because it is helping to usher in the New World Order's Digital Money cashless society.

Walked past this place while going to unicorn and couldn’t resist popping in on the way back. I was with my 3 year old and 9 year old. We ordered a few things to eat and I asked the lovely man at the counter if we can sit in and he said yes. There are 4 tables along the window with 2 seats each. I had to take a chair from the next table. We were the only people eating in. We had almost finished when the elderly lady in the shop spotted me sat on the third seat and rudely told me that we are not supposed to move chairs from other tables and that I’m blocking the way now where I’m sat. I’d bought my husband some treats and the food was actually delicious. We were literally talking about coming back with my husband but her attitude was enough for me never to come back again, and not recommend either.

Excellent staff and food was very nice with the bonus that you could eat in.

terrible experience at the deli. The staff were very rushed and not very friendly. I felt like I was being rushed to make a purchase and didn't get the chance to ask any questions. Even missed out my dhokla order totally what I had asked for it to be packed and when at the billing counter I had left my packed items while I can pay for it and a lady comes in rudely tells me to move it as I was blocking her way absolutely no patience or please said.

Can't believe a business in todays day & age Only has card payment only. Its their loss as I had cash only and was going to buy few delicious looking items. Looks like they dont trust staff to manage cash

My friend and I were excited to experience the great hospitality that I know from the Ashton branch. We ordered chaai latte which was so so sweet we struggled to drink this. My friend had to buy another tea to mask the sweet taste. Mentioned to young girl who totally ignored us.I ordered sev puri that was so dry which we mentioned and ignored. Not once did anyone came to ask us if we wanted anything. The shop was not busy. One of the women behind the reception even shouted at my friend to not move the chair as sun was on her face?No blinds? So disappointed with the Lily's Chorlton, far from the Ashton hospitality that I know.Please fix this - a request to management.

Lily's food is amazing as always. Customer service at this shop, in particular is hit and miss. Unless Declan is serving, he is consistently polite and amazing, service with a smile.

I work nearby occasionally and this is my favourite place to come for food. I always get the same and it seems to get better every time I order it. I have also tried some of the sweet collection and have never been let down Staff are super friendly. Even brought my boyfriend on a weekend to have lunch together.

I've got to say.. not every Lily's is good - the one in Ancoats is average and can be hit and miss however the chef in the Chorlton Branch is THE real deal. I just had a fresh paneer curry and has to be one of the best ones I've ever had.

They are authentic Indian sweet shop in Manchester. I am a regular visitor to their chorltom branch and love their sweets and samosas. Must try, if you are Manchester.

Excellent deli, everything we got was great. The deserts were really nice and loads of variety.

Authentic gujarati snacks shop. Very popular among Indian community. Their dry snacks range and dry fruit sweets are heavenly good. Prices are reasonable. Also very nice pakoras and handvo available.

Overpriced greasy food to dirty places food left over night resold the next day avoid this disgusting food here not authentic food rude staff and overpriced food disgusting customer service no manners and food vile disgusting service here left over food should go to go homeless people not resold to public shocking sugar spices in foood won’t spent my money here again wash your dirty dishes

Visited Lily’s deli twice this weekend. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the place has a nice warm atmosphere and the food is very tasty. Would strongly recommend!

I have been to Lily’s deli quite a few times and every time I go in I get a selection from the front of the shop, and every time all of it is so tasty, fragrant, and delicious!!!! The staff in there are so kind and helpful too.

Very nice and authentic. Friendly staff and smells like an aunties house who makes the best chai.

The reception was fantastic and their dishes were second to none. I wish I could always find myself there.

Its a heaven for vegeterian in Manchester, UK. You can get all types of packaged food, snacks, namkeen, fresh sweets, freshly prepared food/meal options and yes samsoa and kachori.. A must visit for vegeterians, dine in options limited.

Initially thought that the vada pav wasn't up to much as it was clearly microwaved BUT it tasted really good! Despite some shop bought chilli sauce there was also a really nice chilli chutney on it and tonnes of flavour, just the right level of heat. Nice dokla and Masala chai too.

Been wanting to try here for while heard great things. Went for lunch today loved the shop area plenty of interesting products. I opted for the curry lunch special £5.99, I had the paneer tikka and rice. The food went off to the kitchen at which point we didn't know what was going on. Then about ten minutes later it arrived with us. The curry was good but nothing amazing it was lacking something for me. Overall good experience maybe I need to try other things there. Friend had the Dahl curry and said it was nice nothing special. I'd have to say chapati cafe is slightly better and the fact you can get three different curries and rice for not much more money.

Excellent fresh deli produce and a wealth of dried foods and snacks. The curries I've had from Lily's were very good indeed and the staff have always been very pleasant. A great place to visit for vegan and vegetarian options too.

Nice clean place. Different tastes. Something new to try. Recommended

Stunning little joint. The best samosas in town and the samosa chaat is delicious!
