    Love this place first visited when I was about 5 or as dad is moroccan and he loves this food . Really friendly staff great prices plus you can bring your own booze. I'm 31 now and the quality certainly has not dipped

    This is a very good Syrian restaurant that I visit whenever I can. You can take your own alcohol, they don't have a license. I recommend the Arabic Salad and Fatoush but I suggest you explore the menu, there's lots to choose from. Parking nearby is OK.

    Amazing food and great value for money! Not many main options for vegetarians (I think they had 2) but as I went with a friend that was happy to share we ordered a variety of vegetarian starters as 'tapas' (they have loads of options!). Will definitely be back!

    Really lovely food and great service. Defo better to share a few dishes between you as the portions are large and it's easy to fill up on meat.

    Honestly unbelievable place, especially given we were able to walk in on Saturday night. Warm, friendly, helpful staff and amazing service. Open kitchen downstairs with some seating and more tables upstairs. Great value veggie mezze. Each dish £5-£6.50 with 2 per person being more than enough with a pitta each. We had a few leftovers between which they were more than happy to package up for us. BYOB so if you drink it’s an especially great value meal. The quality of the dishes is superb. Not an expert in Syrian cuisine but, beautiful fresh flavours. Even as a veggie I was tempted by the meat. This place deserves to be popping! I hope next time we go we have to book (not that that will be too far in the future.

    This was my 3rd visit to the Aladdin Restaurant. The food was amazing as always. The portion sizes are massive and you get so much tasty food. There were 5 adults and 1 child. We had 3 portions of mujaddarra rice (rice,lentils and fried onions) 3 portions of chicken kebab (could have got away with 2 portions shared between 3), 2 portions of mixed kebab, 2 portions vine leaves, Lebanese salad x 2, 1 yoghurt & spinach dip, x2 Baba ghannouj dip starter( with pitta bread), halloumi cheese and x2 meat sanbousak (pastry stuffed with minced lamb, onions and pine kernels, deep fried). For the size of portions you get, the pricing is great. I would highly recommend visiting.

    The best Syrian restaurant you will ever visit in Manchester. You need to taste the Syrian Kebabs, the Kibeh Nayeh and tabuleh it’s fresh and homemade so if you want this experience so then this is the place to go. I love the beautiful atmosphere which makes you feel like you are in the middle of Syria.

    Everything was very good, the customer service was excellent, especially for the elderly and children. The violin is beautiful and the ambience is very nice and calm, everything was immaculate. the food was delicious, The service was fast... My experience was very good and I recommend it 100%, and the location is very special in case you feel like walking and having a little coffee and watching the atmosphere of the city as a whole.

    Food was fantastic, quite a small venue but cozy. The fact that it's BYOB is fine because there's an off-licence literally across the road and the restaurant will provide the glasses. I had a lovely works night out with 9 coworkers, we ordered a load of Mezze starters to share and it only cost us £18 per person. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 mike h. 1 year ago on Google
    My place to go to and has been for 30 years . Mediterranean food to die for at this easy to miss little restaurant near The Christie Manchester 20. Make sure you visit soon.

  • 5/5 Richard B. 1 year ago on Google
    Middle Eastern food is wonderful - I visited this restaurant fairly regularly while I was at university and it was one of my favourite places to eat. I’d last eaten here about ten years ago, having first come around 20 years ago. I happened to be passing by Manchester at the weekend and decided to visit - the food was as good as I remembered and the restaurant itself as cozy as ever. The lamb chops and a dessert they make called Muhallebi was absolutely fantastic.

  • 5/5 Ian & Berni A. 3 years ago on Google
    Stumbled on this place when staying locally. Read some of the reviews and would give it 5 stars. The lamb was so tender. Staff attentive. Hommus shawarma was to die for. Delighted that you can bring your own alcohol. Would definitely recommend.
