Globe has been around for a while now, and it's established itself as a good place to go for when I fancy something a little different from my takeaways. With a range encompassing Mexican, Italian, Indian and far Eastern cuisine, there really is something for every taste.
Delivery is quick, too - it may be something to do with the fact that we're at most 300 yards away, but the wait between phonecall and doorbell is often less than 20 minutes - remarkable considering the scope and quality of the food.
Such quality arguably comes at a higher price than other takeaways, but it's not extortionate - indeed, probably par for the course in terms of Didsbury prices. Included in their menu is a range of beers and soft drinks, so in essence you could cater for an entire evening in with just one phonecall.
The mexican food on offer is a personal favourite - there is a good selection of fajitas, burritos and 'chimi changas' in a number of vegetarian or meat options, and these are complemented perfectly by the spicy starters and mexican frijoles charros on the side. The curries come recommended as well - certainly comparable to the fare on offer down the curry mile, if sadly lacking the choice and surroundings of such a restaurant.
The East Asian dishes are another favourite of mine - the crispy chilli beef dish isn't cheap, at over £7 without rice, but it's an absolute must try - unparalleled in many visits to chinese restaurants (some more expensive still) and a multitude of takeaways. The other dishes are of a similar calibre.
The Italian offering extends principally to a range of pizzas, and is consistent in quality with other takeaways - but arguably they're the weaker offering when there's a whole world of other choices to consider.
Globe are open Tuesday - Sunday till 10.30pm during the week and 11pm on Friday / Saturday. Give them a call on 0161 448 0222 for collection or delivery.
