Halal Reviews for Jafra Manchester

We had a wonderful experience at Jafra, an authentic Palestinian–Arab restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the hospitality was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The freshly baked breads were a highlight and really added to the experience. We ordered the Maqluba with lamb, but unfortunately the dish didn’t meet our expectations. The aubergine consisted of only one small fried piece, and although we specifically ordered lamb lump meat, the meat we received was tough and definitely did not seem like lamb. However, our lamb shank dish was excellent — the meat was tender, the rice was delicious, and the overall flavour was perfect. For dessert, we had Arabic baklava served with mint tea, which was absolutely lovely and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, the restaurant is fantastic in terms of atmosphere, service, and presentation, and most of the food was excellent. If the Maqluba is improved, this place would easily be a five-star experience.

First time coming here and it won’t be the last, such a welcoming atmosphere and filled with beautiful Palestinian memorabilia. The waiter who served us was very lovely and attentive and never stopped smiling. Food was 1000/10, came promptly and full of flavour. We recommend the mixed grill platter and the lamb chops with rice. Lovely portions and lovely dessert in the end with tea. Definitely found a return customer in us! 🥰

Heard really good things about this place so was excited to try. My partner loved the lamb chops, my chicken was quite dry but had a nice flavour. Atmosphere was great and service was good too. Portions were a good size

10/10 Great Customer Service, delicious food and lovely atmosphere/vibe. The servers were brilliant. The chicken dish was so flavoursome and different. (I forgot the name but have inserted a photo-it was so nice) The lamb was also tender and all in all a great experience. Also really enjoyed the bossouma dessert.perfect end to the evening..
