Yara - Manchester

Ate at this restaurant last night as a party of 10 colleagues, with myself being the only non meat eater. We ordered a banquet with many different dishes, and my colleague requested that some vegan dishes be included. This seemed to astonish the waiter, and he asked who the vegan was. When I said it was me, he said ah, an extremist! and proceeded to conversationally attack me on my reasons for going vegan in front of my entire office. I wasn 't much interested in getting into the preachy details as this would have made my colleagues feel awkward, and as soon as I started to defend myself, my colleagues advised him not to pursue the discussion, to which he replied it 's OK, I have a good argument! . His big argument: VEGETABLES HAVE SOULS. I am incredulous by this point, not only because my food choices were being criticised and mocked by a waiter during the ordering process, but because I couldn 't believe he could come out with something so inherently stupid and not be joking. I asked him three times if he was serious, and each time he responded with a deadpan face that he was. My colleagues cut off the conversation as I was just awkwardly laughing, I am all for a bit of banter at my expense but I am also known to speak my mind when the occasion calls for it, and they could see that it was getting to that point. I then had to put up with comments such as how 's the [milk dish] guys? good? you should tell her what she 's missing! etc The only reason we chose to eat at this restaurant was because of the selection of non-meat dishes for me, which is ironic considering the prejudiced and downright disrespectful service I had to endure. My colleagues all agreed that it was the most unprofessional and awkward service they had ever experienced. The food itself was OK but nothing interesting. If you 're still wondering why I 'm vegan, waiter, go and look up dairy is scary on youtube and then please tell me more about how I 'm the extreme one.

A very pleasant restaurant very nice food the lamb chops was our favourite, staff were very friendly, we were all well looked after, the lady that served us Azib was very professional and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant they have delicious food and it is a good place to catch up with friends.

This was our favourite restaurant in Altrincham until this week. We had booked a table for two for 6.30 on Saturday. We arrived promptly and were shown to our table by nice young staff. We enjoyed (until 7.30 , as always, a nice meal, served by polite young staff members. At 7.20, an older female staff-member (who seemed to be a manager/supervisor put the bill (which we hadn 't asked for! in the middle of our table just as were enjoying our last mouthfuls, which we found highly unprofessional and rude. There was no mention when we booked the table that it was only for 1-hour, and we still had a full glass of wine each. A couple of minutes later the same staff member came over again and said I 'm sorry we need this table . We paid the bill and left. My advice is: Go to Yara and enjoy yourselves, but only if you can be certain that the lady mentioned above is not working there when you visit.

Amazing food and service as always. Lots of options to cater for all diets including vegan. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

We where there with friends very bad restaurant food was no taste at all staff was so rude and we still give tips but one of the staff told us the tips is not for them unfortunately I will not recommend this restaurant
