Since our Deliveroo Doorstep Taste Tour commenced a few weeks ago, our Taste Tour hosts have feasted their way around the city, in search of the Manchester food spots on Deliveroo. Charley Marlowe and our presenter, Jess, have tested out restaurants recommended by the locals, as well as compiling a list of the Secret Manchester team’s go-to Deliveroo orders – and a guide of delicious recs from our fantastically foodie audience.
Now it’s time to round things off with a final dose of top at-home dining tips with some recommendations from the Taste Tour hosts themselves…
1. Mughli
Indian food ticks so many boxes when it comes to picking a takeaway, not least because it’s perfect for sharing and maximising on how many dishes you can try. Our Taste Tour hosts’ fave place to get one on Deliveroo is Mughli – the lamb and potato biryani and browned onion rice being the top order.
2. Don Tacos
As you may have seen in our Taste Race video, our hosts were big fans of Don Tacos’ chipotle chicken quesadillas. But what has been their go-to on Deliveroo since then? The birria tacos with slow cooked beef and the churros with chocolate dipping sauce are guaranteed to send your taste buds straight to foodie heaven.
3. Yara
When the craving for Lebanese hits, the Taste Tour hosts’ go-to is Yara. Their mixed grill kebab with herby, onion-y rice is truly a fine thing. It goes perfectly with some hot mezze starters!
4. Happy Seasons
Happy Seasons’ menu offers authentic Chinese cuisine at its finest, serving everything from steamed char siu buns to crispy aromatic duck. But whatever mains you decide to order, make sure you get some salt and pepper spare ribs on the side.
5. Zumuku Sushi
We struggle to think of a Deliveroo that’ll leave you feeling more nourished and restored than a tofu miso ramen from Zumuku Sushi. But whatever you do, don’t miss out on their kyoto dragon rolls, duck gyozas and kamikaze wings!
6. Ramona
We knew Charley was a big fan of Ramona’s Detroit pizza – which is why we put her in touch with them to create her own limited edition pizza that many of you will have tried at our food giveaway! But aside from her special ‘Marlowe’s Melty Medley’, their pepperoni and pecorino pizza is always a winner!
7. Almost Famous
After sitting down with restaurant owner, Beau Myers, for an exclusive chat over a feast from Almost Famous (hand-picked by Beau himself!), our Taste Tour hosts know how to order a Deliveroo from this menu like absolute pros. Thanks to Beau’s excellent taste, they’re now frequently getting the Blame it on the Whiskey burger with a side of Hot AF fried chicken blasts delivered straight to their front doors.
8. Plymouth Grove
From sweet and sour pork to Singapore noodles, Plymouth Grove’s menu has everything you want from a Cantonese menu – with a bit of extra pizazz sprinkled on top.
9. Ad Maiora
Ad Maiora has got their fluffy schiacciata sandwiches down to a fine art, meaning you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. But the Regina with mortadella, burrata, pesto, pistachios, tomatoes and rocket has got a special Taste Tour host seal of approval.
10. Laros Greek Street Food
Deliveroo-ing a freshly stuffed gyros pita wrap to your front door is a sure fire way to take any day from an 8 to a 10. You can customise it to suit your tastes, but our Taste Tour hosts swear by the chicken and pork mixed wrap with fries, all the salad, tzatziki and mint yoghurt.
