Absolutely fabulous meal for our anniversary. Delicious food really well presented and served by lovely staff. Had V. I.P sharing meal for two. Large platter we only just about managed to finish 👌😊 Definitely recommended + will definitely return. Beautiful surroundings. Can't believe we haven't been before.

we went on a last minute whim but i was pleasantly surprised with the food and the speed of the service. all the staff were lovely and welcoming. a tiny bit on the pricier side but very tasty!

Always our restaraunt for big and small occasions! The food is unbelievable and it’s absolutely gorgeous after the recent refurbishment. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and they will often bring extras that they think will compliment what you’ve ordered. Fully recommend!

Came yesterday with my family and I really enjoyed it! The staff were polite and very helpful. The resteraunt is stunning and the food matches! Will definitely return again.🙏

Been a few times always enjoyed it. Food very good, staff excellent and good atmosphere.
4/10/2024. Restaurant has been closed for a refurbishment and reopened today, we we're invited by a friend who work's at the restaurant to go and see the new layout and try the new menu. The new layout makes the restaurant brighter with new tables and chairs. The food and service was excellent, another 5 🌟 stars.
Went on Boxing day afternoon with grandchildren and again another enjoyable meal, restaurant nicely decorated for Xmas and once again the food and service was excellent another 5 ✨️ stars.

The only thing on our menu that is not Halal is the childrens chicken strips.

Comptoir Libanais Manchester

I had hours to kill for my flight so looked for a Lebanese restaurant in Manchester as I love this cuisine. The food was amazing! Fresh, high quality and cooked with care. The service was also excellent. Asking about allergies, explaining all the items on my mezze and just really attentive. The waitress Dwhani was so professional. I will
Definitely be back next time I’m in Manchester and have recommended it to all my friends there.

The venue itself was lovely, it really had a proper Lebanese feel, with lots of attention to detail and thought put into the design of the restaurant.

I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl, which was delicious, filling, and full of flavour. My partner had the meze platter for one, which she really enjoyed, and we shared the batata harra, these were especially good.

The bill came to around £45, but there was an automatic service charge of about 12.5% added. While the staff were friendly, I don’t feel the charge was justified. Service was quite slow even though the restaurant wasn’t busy – from taking our order, to bringing the bill, to forgetting our water. It was also difficult to get a waiter’s attention, which was frustrating. On top of that, they didn’t accept cash, which was a little inconvenient.

That said, the food was genuinely tasty, and I’d definitely come back again to try more from the menu. It’s just a shame that the service let down what was otherwise a really nice experience.

Good position, high quality food, with a great variety of meals to accommodate all dietary needs. Great tasty and delicious dishes at a fair sustainable price.
Wine and drinks menu with several options, including soft and alcohol free drinks.
Kind and professional personnel, capable of making you feel welcome and cared about with also suggestions and guidance in exploring the menu.
The owner and his staff make the difference, as you can feel their passion, their vibes and their attention in they taking care of all customers.
Highly recommended!

The food was very delicious and temperature was perfect. The presentation of the food was amazing. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite. The interior decoration was also beautiful and presentable! I went years before for my birthday and loved it. It's a great presentable location to catch-up with friends. They did not rush me and my friend for our table back and their lunch time was not as busy as first thought.

Absolutely fabulous food just pity about the very slow service, we had to keep asking for; drinks, to take our order, water & the bill.
Good selection of vegetarian dishes id definitely recommend the Mezze Platter for 2, £28.50 (all vegetarian), we shared it between 3 of us and there was plenty, i just wish that I'd ordered this for myself without the main course.  I ordered the halloumi wrap platter £12.95  which was very nice but too much with the mezze platter starter as well.  My friends had the grilled lamb kofta, £18.50 which came with rice, and the pan roasted Salmon £20.50 which was on a bed of chickpeas and tomato's, both said that they were very nice.   We also ordered a jug of red sangria, £25.95, which was very morish and didn't taste any different from the Spanish sangria. Plus a bowl of fries with garlic dip £4.95.

The meat in all of our restaurants comes from approved and certified halal suppliers. All our restaurants hold alcohol licenses.

Cafe Plus, Denton

Fantastic service by the staff at Cafe Plus in Denton. The food is always served beautiful and without a doubt always tastes delicious. I have been here several times with family and friends and would highly recommend! The venue is modern and ambient but it's the staff and food that is their best asset. Well done!

My family of three had a quick and pleasant lunch. The food arrived promptly and was delicious and well-prepared. Our son enjoyed his children's meal, which he found simple yet tasty. The prices were reasonable. We appreciated the pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.  There is a 5% service charge. However, the coffee was rather expensive; different milk and syrup each cost an additional £0.75.

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect place to relax or catch up with friends.
I loved the little details — aromatic coffee, beautiful décor, and the authentic music in the background. Their breakfast menu is also amazing (try the simit and Turkish breakfast !).

One of the best Turkish breakfasts I've ever had!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. The portions were absolutely massive, we could barely finish everything on the table (not that we didn’t try!). Everything was super fresh and delicious, from the eggs, cheeses and cream to the warm simit.

What really made it special though were the girls who served us (Nooshin, Selina, Leigha) they were so lovely, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You can tell they care about making people feel at home.
Such a great vibe, amazing food, and proper value for money. Can’t wait to go back!

Not sure why it's taken me this long to review Cafe Plus, especially being so local to us. But if you haven't been, then you're definitely missing out.

Visited here for breakfast and lunch on a number of occasions with family.  And the staff have always been really friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed and serene.  No pressure or rushing guests so you can really relax.

Now on to the food!! The Turkish breakfast 😋 has been consistent every time,  while it may seem expensive it's definitely worth a try.

The English breakfast is a large portion, infact all the meals are.

The dessert is also delicious, maybe a bit too sweet for some.  With the kids, I should have ordered desserts after the mains, as it was a bit too much food/dessert to finish 😅

I'm sure we'll be back for more, definitely need to try the Turkish dessert next time!!

Bayrock Moments

Amazing place! JUST WOWWW!! definitely one of my favourite takeaways. Wide verity of different foods and desserts😍 must recommend the Tennessee Chik’n burger and the uptown platter. Full of flavours!!

Food was cold, burnt and late. Mac n cheese had barely any sauce on it.  Icecream was melted. Would not recommend

Loved the food from here. Loads to choose from. Delivery took abit long since i live quite far but if your close I recommend eating here!

"I ordered the Tennessee chicken burger and the double beef burger, and 2 puddings, the pictures look nothing like what you order
WHATSOEVER !! The chicken burger was so small and there was hardly any lettuce on the burger, then on the double beef burger, it looks again nothing like the picture and the patties looked like they they have been pulled out of a frozen packet, it didn't taste nice at all and was slightly frozen in the middle, there was hardly any lettuce and sauce. Then moving on to the puddings they was even worse we got 2 old school cakes and they was so stale it was like trying to break a rock like it had been sat there all week and there was hardly any icing or sprinkles on it and the custard was just out of a pack, it was very bland I will not be ordering from here again and we binned THE LOT ! It was disgusting and definitely false advertisement"

Just ordered the Tennessee chicken burger and the smash burger wow so flavourful and amazing definitely recommend 10/10

Habbibi - Manchester

We visited last month with the first table 50% off deal. We tried a few different dishes and each one was delicious.  We had the Muhammad with haloumi, oadron peppers, octopus with roast potatoes, bread and flat iron steak. Every thing was delicious, service was attentive, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great and welcoming. I highly recommend it.

I have been eating here regularly since the end of 2024, but since the menu changed, it is not as good as before, especially the rib-eye, It lacks the smoky flavor it once had and is often overcooked after the menu changing, Some dishes that used to be good like sea bass or mushrooms on bread, many good dishes have been removed.
The newly added padron peppers taste different every time I order them. Sometimes they have sauce, sometimes not. I think it would be better no sauce. And ribeye, the quality of meat varies greatly, sometimes it is very good, sometimes it is not that good.(most of the time is good though)

There are also mushroom sauce and chimichurri sauce. I personally don’t like the taste of black truffle in mushroom sauce. The mushroom sauce before was good enough. The chimichurri sauce today may have too much lemon or vinegar?(I’m not sure) which is a little different from usual. I think the previous one tasted better, and there has a little bit smoky taste in chimichurri before.

From my personal point of view, if a restaurant wants to retain long-term diners, it needs to maintain consistency. Only by innovating on the basis of consistency can it attract more customers.

But in general, this is a great restaurant where you can taste the food culture of different regions from the taste of the food. This is the first time I have experienced the team's goal in formulating the menu to allow guests to experience different regional cultures.

Food was good especially the stakes as we ordered few of them, the dynamite prawns was very delicious but for the Appetizers, in my personal opinion the Hummus and Muhamara didn’t taste like one.
For the staff, the waiter who served us was Norhan, she was very helpful and smiling all the time, give you positive energy.
The Atmosphere was very nice but we couldn’t hear each other because of the loud music.

Beautiful venue with great service, but overpriced for what you get

I celebrated my birthday at Habbibi with my sister and friends. The interior design is absolutely beautiful — very aesthetic and perfect for special occasions. The service was also lovely. The staff were kind, attentive, and respectful throughout the night. I brought my own cake and asked not to have a big celebration, and they kindly just served it for us without making a fuss, which I really appreciated.

Food-wise, the steak was amazing — cooked to absolute perfection. However, the rest of the food was decent at best. We tried the bang bang prawns and hot honey-glazed wings, but the portions were very small for the price. Overall, I’d say the menu is quite overpriced considering the taste and portion sizes.

One major point to flag: I have a nut allergy, and when I mentioned it, the staff told me that while they could remove visible nuts from dishes, the kitchen does not guarantee anything is nut-free due to cross-contamination. For example, I ordered the capsah rice, which contains cashews, and they simply removed the cashews — but obviously, for anyone with a severe allergy, that’s not safe. Thankfully mine is mild and cross-contamination doesn’t affect me, but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone with a serious nut allergy.

Overall, it was a nice experience in terms of vibe and staff, but the food wasn’t wow, and for the high price, I personally wouldn’t return.

Definitely five stars from me! The customer service was wonderful right from the reception, and our waiter Alex was so professional yet warm and attentive. The ambience had such a welcoming vibe, and the meals came right on time and tasted absolutely delicious.

Olive & Thyme

Prices are old in the photos, please check website for updated ones since they have increased. Beautiful ambiance, sat outside and heater was on, brilliant presentation. Ordered a kids pizza, beef burger and steak. All food was really nice. For me, kids meal was slightly overpriced for the portion - small portion, price equal to adult meal. Loved the place 💫🤩

A truly exceptional meal! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I particularly recomend the conservatory area. The food was phenomenal and the price is pretty reasonable for the quality of the meals and the vibe of the restaurant.  The service was also great, very helpful and friendly but not intrusive.

I came with my Dad for my birthday and we shared the mixed meze plate (the fresh baked levash bread with the spiced butter and the içli köfte were particularly exceptional). We then shared a mixed grill (the lamb chops and the chicken wings were my favourite) and a findik lahmacun for mains. We just managed to squeeze in a delicious serve of the katmer for dessert. The servings are generous, delicious and beautifully presented!

The only thing that would have really made it better would be some kind of refreshing house-made fresh lemon drink or similar, but the ginger beer was still pretty great!

Definitely one of my new favourite places in Manchester.

Absolutely spectacular from the moment you arrive. Beautiful decor, wonderful atmosphere,  attentive staff. And the food is something else. So tasty. I want to go back and I've only just got home.

food - great and super tasteful and well cooked. we ordered some appetisers, the mixed grill and the mixed seafood grill/plate. it was realy good and we filled ourselves too much for dessert. that saffron rice was so good.

service - good but can be sorta slow? the food came pretty quick and we didnt have to wait too long. drinks arrived after appetisers which was a little strange but oh wells. no complaints about the staff tho.

atmosphere - really nice and pretty. they have a sort of balcony seating which is decorated beautifully. however there was a big group so the place was a little noisy but no fault of the restaurant.

overall, really great place and food was amazing. will return again

We tried the 2 courses lunch.
The starter size is big enough.
We love the Casserole.
