Roots

You're walking down Eccles New Road and the smell hits you first—toasted spices, fresh herbs, something actually worth stopping for. Roots isn't trying to convince meat-eaters they've made a mistake; it's just doing its thing brilliantly. The menu reads like someone's genuinely excited about food, not apologising for it. Whether you're vegan, just curious, or actually hungry, you'll find yourself eating something that tastes considered and properly delicious. It's the kind of spot that's quietly become essential in Salford's food landscape.
