Called in with my wife after a days shopping. We loved it from start to finish. The staff were great from start to finish, they were really helpful and it came across as a genuine desire to make your visit enjoyable. The food was great! To start my wife had halloumi fries, I had buffalo wings with a blue cheese sauce 👍🏻 For mains my wife had the Kentucky fried bacon burger, part of that was the only negative, the Kentucky coated bacon that sat on the burger wasn’t that nice, if being honest it tasted a bit like a cheap supermarket brand coating. I had the manc-hattan, burger, pastrami, black pudding and cheese dressed with a mustard mayo, WOW! Honestly it was the best burger I’ve had, trust me I’ve had a few, some in the states! Loved it, thanks Solita 👏🏻😀
I would highly recommend Solita’s! First visit and we were sat straight at a table, provided with drinks and had food fairly quick. The food was fantastic and great value: All the staff were looked like they were genuinely happy to be there and were always happy to help. Great music, great food, fab atmosphere! Will be back again!
One of the nicest burgers I have had in a long time! We hadn’t made a booking but when we arrived the staff quickly found a seat for me and my partner. We ordered a started and main, the main came earlier than the started but when we told this to the waiter he quickly went back and got our starter with a apology and gave it to us for free. We had the cheeseburger spring rolls which were exceptional and ever so tasty. And the burger we had each was cooked to perfection, I highly recommend this burger kitchen as I WILL be coming here again.
Excellent Steak & Burgers
Visited with friends on a busy Saturday night, so we booked in advance to avoid disappointment.
I ordered the fillet steak with peppercorn sauce & fries any my friend ordered the Ribeye with blue cheese sauce. Both were well seasoned and perfectly cooked.
The other two diners ordered burgers which also looked great.
We would definitely recommend.
First time here and the food was amazing!!
Quick service and super friendly staff.
I had the Sunday lunch burger and my fiancé had the Big Manc burger.
The Sunday lunch burger was perfect, it came with a side of mini roast potato’s and gravy. My only critique is that there should of been more gravy as it was a bit dry without it. However I didn’t actually ask for any more! So I can’t complain.
My fiancé loved the big manc and he had the salt and pepper fries with it.
Very impressed with all the food.
We tried both the American beers on the menu and their some of the nicest drinks we’ve had.
Definitely try Blue Wave!
Will definitely return again (hopefully soon!)
"Burgers to die for"
The vast varieties of delicious burgers..
They have incredible burgers with must try pizza fries, dry breaded chicken, the buttermilk fried chicken burger, hot Chipotle Chicken Wings, mac n cheese balls and many more delicious items..
Can seriously recommend the Big Manc and the Bacon Double Cheese burgers
Atmosphere is so vibrant and a perfect place to sit with friends to enjoy the delicious food..
There's something for everyone on the menu..
Always a pleasure to frequent here. For some reason I've always visited this venue when the sun is out. So needless to say I always sit outside in their little beer patio/garden in front of their premises. Not the prettiest but who cares when you have a cold beer in hand and the sun is shining.
Ideal place if you eat insane choices in burgers/wings and fries. I had the KFB (Kentucky Fried Bacon) and it was delicious. Giving it a four because the burger bun was quite hard and crumbly, I’m assuming this is not always like this. Also I got the second spiciest wings selection which were mild at best. Would definitely go back.

I'm never a big fan a burger, so take this review with a grain of salt.
First of all, the interior is nice, and I got table on the basement, so that's fine with me.
I went there Friday evening, arrived around 7 pm, and honestly the service was kinda slow, and we were expected to leave in 8 pm. Honestly, if you want us to get out of there fast, then serve our food fast.
We had Solita Sharer for starter, and it was amazing. The spring rolls really lives up to the hype, it was heaven on the mouth. I almost order it for take away, but there was no room left after the burger. My friend said the Mac 'n' Cheese balls were amazing too, so you can't go wrong with this menu. The Fried Baby Squid was also good, I enjoyed that one a lot.
To the burger, well, I ordered Walk of Shame, and it was good, but I expected some special sauce but it was just like another burger, however, the patty is good. There was no vegetable whatsoever in this burger, and did I mention it was double patties?
Summary:
Coming back for the spring rolls.

So I went to Solita today as I read lots of good reviews about it. I was probably their first customer of the day since I entered right at their opening time. My first impression wasn’t a very pleasing one because as soon as I sat on my table, I realized it was dirty and there was some sticky sauce on the menu. My knife wasn’t washed properly either and had some food stuck onto it.
Moving on, I ordered the Veg Halloumi Burger with cheesy fries. The presentation of the food was fantastic. The cheese on the fries was mouth-watering and I just couldn’t get enough of it. Then I tried the burger, which had halloumi that wasn’t well grilled. The outer-side was fine but it was just not well done on the inside. It was really chewy and I could not eat the other half of the halloumi. The burger tasted a lot better without the halloumi and the Portobello mushrooms were delicious. If you’re a veggie, maybe give the other burgers a shot or ask for the halloumi to be well done.
I was served by Angie who asked me how the food was. Told her about the halloumi and she offered to get another burger which was really nice of her, even though I refused. She genuinely seemed to care about what I thought of the food, which you don’t usually see in many restaurants. Finally, when I asked for the cheque, Angie had given me a generous discount, which was pleasing.
Overall, it was an OKAY experience but I am sure it can be better. Special shoutout to Angie who had a smile on her face throughout and made the whole experience worthwhile.
The newly refurbished basement is looking great, modelled on the impressive designs of the newer Didsbury & Prestwich restaurants; complete with Stanley Chow artwork, graffiti and fancy new neon lights.
I wanted to try the amazing sounding and looking ‘Salt Beef Croquettes’ too, but sadly they’d sold out.
So I settled for an old favourite, ‘Cheeseburger Spring Rolls’.
Then it was time for the main event.
An already impressively large burger is made higher still with a trio of Christmas dinner staples.
The seeded brioche bun contains a seven-ounce chuck steak patty and is stuffed (pun intended) with buttermilk fried turkey, roast gammon, Monterey Jack cheese, cranberry and port sauce and deep fried sprouts. Before being drenched in rich turkey gravy.
Oh, and it’s topped with that skewer containing a: goose fat roast potato, stuffing ball and now legendary candied pig in blanket.
Yeah, it’s quite literally Christmas in a bun.

I've been here twice and enjoyed it both times. I also had vouchers from Manchester Confidentials both times which makes it cheaper -- pretty much half price.
The first time I went I had 3 of the slider burgers. I wasn't too keen on the PJ and jelly one, but I think it was just a bit strange because it was sweet. I can't remember what the other ones were to be honest but I liked them. I couldn't finish them because the burgers are actually a decent size even though they're only sliders.
The second time I went, I had the 28oz steak which I shared with my partner. The fries and onion rings are supposed to be bottomless but we didn't have any more than what came on the plate because we were full. We also had desert -- mine was the waffle which to be honest I didn't think was great.
Another good thing about this place is that there is a disabled toilet upstairs, which is good because it is accessible, the other toilets are downstairs. It also has a beer garden sectioned off, but obviously that's only good during the summer months.
Overall though, I really like the place.
We expected to try the challenge burger with 10 patties but sadly was not available when we went. Instead I had the spicy cry for help burger, which was fantastic, and yes did in fact make me cry😢😂. Both burgers were excellent with lovely cheese and patties, accompanied by delicious and crispy fries.

Yesterday was our second visit to Solita with a voucher. We have mixed reviews of this place as our first visit was less than impressive but yesterday's visit was fantastic! Both reviews are below.
02/2022 - We ordered 24oz Wagyu Rump Steak (£48) to share between the two of us. We asked for medium rare and it came perfectly medium rare. It's definitely a 2-person meal and we absolutely enjoyed it. The service was great too. The lady was so cheerful and attentive and we didn't feel thirsty at all afterwards. Highly recommended the steak.
11/2021 - We ordered The Manc (£20) and The PBJ&D (£17) burgers. The wagyu beef patties were overcooked and the fries were pale and under-seasoned. The doughnuts on the PBJ&D burger were stone cold.
We also ordered the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls which were disappointing. Not crispy at all and salty. The service was average and we were extremely thirsty afterwards.
Yesterday's experience has really changed our perspective of Solita. Not sure if we'd order burgers but that Wagyu Rump Steak will sure be on our 'must eat' list again.
Food was really nice! Good selection of beers and cocktails too. Hottest wings I've ever tasted and Big Mac Chicken burger was huge! Recommended upgrading your fries.
I'm from Surrey but often find myself up in Manchester. I love Solita.
Great starters, amazing burgers and some truly glutinous desserts. Whilst I am on the topic of the menu, it is a must to mention their "once in a lifetime" burger. A monster and definitely worth a second, third and fourth in your lifetime. If that doesn't tickle your fancy they always have a cheesy named special on offer which always taste better than its name.
There is plenty of seating and it is never empty. The staff are attentive and as yet, I have never had a bad visit.
The spicy wings was 7 of 10 spicy. It was good and the wings were not dry. The cheese dog was okay too.
Friendly staff and quick service. The range of food is original with a good selection of mains and deserts. Recommended!
Amazing burgers good chill place for drinks all round amazing went 2x in first week because i wanted to try more burgers went for the sloders 2x
What a find! Decided to eat at Solita on our last night in Manchester, pictures don't do the food justice, everything was so fresh and service was excellent. Read an article suggesting the burgers were up there with the best in the UK......confirmed! Top level scran and still offering a discount to people eating out Monday to Wednesday in September!
Solita was highly recommended to me and, as a burger burger lover myself, I had to give it a chance.
No surprises, the burger was as good as promised and I enjoyed it together with their own local American IPA Beer that turned out to be a great combination.
The size, how well the meat was done and the ingredients were all on point. Definitely worth trying yourself.
