Habbibi - Manchester

My family and I came here to celebrate my sister’s birthday last night and we were so impressed by everything. It was our first time visiting and we travelled from Blackpool, Accrington & Birmingham and it was most definitely worth the travel to come here!

Our main server was Timur and he was incredible! We were a table of 9 and kept Timur busy with our multiple drink orders and questions, but he was so hospitable and patient with us. Absolutely quality service and an asset to the team! We had other servers come to our table as well to bring drinks, etc and everyone was so lovely and warm.

The atmosphere was brilliant from the moment we walked in and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and feels really luxurious.

The food was outstanding! A few of us had lamb cutlets, Irish wagyu, dynamite prawns, and various other dishes and every single one of us loved every bite. The food has so much flavour and was beautifully presented.

Thank you so much for helping make my sister’s birthday so special and for providing us with amazing service and incredible food. It’ll be a night we never forget!

Visited Habbibi today and had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, vibrant, and full of energy. The decor and lighting set the perfect mood, and the live DJ added a great vibe throughout the evening.

The food was excellent – generous portion sizes, beautifully presented, and packed with flavour. Each dish brought something different to the table, though I did find the menu could benefit from a bit more variety. That said, what was on offer was well-executed and satisfying.

The staff were incredible – welcoming, friendly, and genuinely professional. A real highlight was the magician (Rod Hande) who performed some brilliant tricks at our table while we waited for our food, which made the experience even more memorable.

All in all, Habbibi is definitely worth a visit for its atmosphere, great service, and flavourful food. I’ll definitely be back!

Honest review - visited a few months back - staff were attentive.
Atmosphere was great.
Starters - mushroom mezze, dynamite prawns and chicken bang bang and houmous. Brilliant starters.
Mains - Sumac roasted chicken - great taste.
Portion size was decent. Definitely need a starter to feel satisfied with this particular dish’s portion.
Desserts were disappointing, purely because the dessert we intended to order was out of stock. And they had very basic cheesecake.
Would rate it at 3 stars due to disappointment in dessert but the starters make up for it.

Clean cutlery, clean tables, everything seemed sanitary.

I and my partner had a fantastic experience at the restaurant, made even better by the exceptional service from Alex. From the moment we arrived, Alex was incredibly welcoming, gentle in manner, and radiated a vibrant energy that made us feel right at home. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal with genuine warmth and professionalism. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his recommendations were spot-on. It’s rare to find service that feels both effortless and sincere, but Alex truly delivered. He added a personal touch that elevated our entire dining experience. Highly recommended!

I visited on February 14 for Valentine’s Day and my birthday. The environment was calm but quite dark, so we struggled to take pictures of the surroundings or even ourselves.

The food was from the Valentine’s Day menu, and for starters, I had the lamb cutlet, which was absolutely amazing. For the main, we ordered a sharing platter, which was okay, though it didn’t feel like there was enough to share. The cocktail, unfortunately, wasn’t great—I’m not sure of the name, as I can’t remember, but it wasn’t what we expected.

We had also requested wine, but I don’t think the waiter took note of our request, so by the time we flagged down another waiter, we were almost ready to leave. When we arrived, we waited for over 20 minutes without anyone approaching us. We ended up calling someone over, and even then, they promised to get help, but there were delays in getting back to us.

On a positive note, the environment is lovely. The DJ played great music, the atmosphere was aesthetically pleasing, and the washroom would make for nice pictures.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of the dessert because I don’t like raspberries, and that was the only option on the menu that day.

Overall, I’d recommend this place for a casual catch-up or a fancy dinner, but I would suggest improving the service.
