    We have been to many buffet restaurants for food and I can honestly say that Nayaab is one of the best! There is a good variety of food - the starters and the main dishes are absolutely delicious. I'm a very fussy eater and it definitely exceeded my expectations! The staff are very accommodating, friendly and polite. The customer service they offer is excellent. The restaurant is extremely clean too. I highly recommend Nayaab.

    We went here for my son's 15th birthday get together. We wanted to try Indian food. It was nice and cozy place to visit. The place was neat and clean. The staff are particularly polite and not rude. I love this place actually. As a neutral, I would visit this place again.

    Authentic Pakistani Cuisine. Second visit in as many week, I was so impressed the first time I thought I would check it out again before i wrote my review. The car park could do with a little TLC. The main entrance could do with some directions to the restaurant reception. Greeted well both times and shown to a table at once, first time we had a window table, send time round the back in a booth area, thought the window side was better. The gent looking after the food area showed use round the first time, one side has all the starters, rice and nana bread, the other side has 10 curries, 4 of which are vegetarian. Small selection of starter from veggie pakoras, spicy chicken drumsticks, Over the two visits I tried all 10 curries, authentic food, nice and spicy, Lamb on the Bone, Chicken biryani, Acari Chicken, Lahore Chana, my favourite Kadhi Pakora. Dessert is serviced at a small counter by a member of staff. Soft drinks only, no alcohol. The food was amazing and will be returning again. My only down thought. The night we were put round the back in the booth section, it felt like we had been put out of the way as there were empty tables in the window area. Posted on 20/08/23

    The manager was kind and had good communication. He invited those who couldn't attend the Xmas work meal (see previous review by Karen Hope) to still have the meal there. The décor is nice. The ambience on a weekday wasn't too bad either. It's a family / close community restaurant but not noisy at all which is good. We could talk at normal volume to each other. Wide range of food at this reasonable price £16 per head. You can't get anywhere else for this price especially for a buffet. Food- wise: they were ok. Simple 'home' dishes. Drinks were ok but a little on the sweet side. The staff who work at the restaurant front were lovely and attentive. Thank you for letting us to still have the Xmas work meal there. Would definitely go back. Recommended.

    Overall good place to have desi food variety in one go. The buffet was good but the Biryani and Pulao needs bit more attention to enhance taste.

    7 of us friends tried their buffet today, I almost tried everything and believe me everything was spot on, taste wise it's really good, ambience is 5 star, and staff is soo friendly and nice. Price is not high at all unlike many others, and buffet totally worth the money. I will highly recommend their buffet, if you are a couple, a group of friends, colleagues or professionals, and want to have some good food, this is the place for it. Highly recommended. 💯💯

    Great place, nice food, comfy seating. Food was warm and fresh. Somewhat large variety. Desert would’ve been better if more options but still very nice. Do recommend and will definitely be back!

    If you’re food lover, you must visit this place. For me, I wanted to try all food available. I tried little of everything and it was so good. £15 per person and we tried almost 15-16 items or more. From starters like chicken soup, chips, boneless chicken stripes, fish stripes, and so many items and then rotis, to variety of biriyanis, pulaou, lamb and chicken curries, lamb nihari, lamb paya etc…. And at last ice creams, gulab jamun, and Black Forest cake. It was a great experience to explore all the variety of food. I went to this place with my friends and we spend almost 2 hours here. Mango lessi is so good. Must try item (need to pay separate though) You can walk around try any food as many times as you like. You can change the plates and they clear your table in between so you have enough space on your tables. Best buffet experience. Restaurant opens 4PM to 11PM. Take your family and friends and have wonderful time there and try all Delicious food.

    Had a lovely meal at Nayaab Restaurant with the family. We've been here before several times and always enjoyed the nice atmosphere, food and service. It's a fantastic place offering high quality and delicious food at very reasonable prices. Last night was no different. When we arrived the restaurant was packed and buzzing, but we were still led to a really nice table without hardly any waiting at all. We hadn't pre-booked, and had just turned up! The staff were professional, polite and friendly. We were served by Aisha and Hinna, who both looked after us very well. Excellent service and especially from Aisha, who even recognised us from previous visits. They were so lovely and friendly to us and are a huge credit to the establishment. The food was excellent as usual. It's a buffet place and very often you see spillages and mixed-up serving ladels at other restaurants; but not here! All the buffet dishes were nicely laid out (including the salads and sauces section) with excellent presentation and it was very clean. They obviously take great care and pride on this and it's well-deserved and commendable. Food was great tasting as we've come to expect! The starters were delicious and I couldn't help pile it on much to the disapproval of my wife!! Even the kids enjoyed the food and it's not always easy getting them to eat, especially my middle one!! I absolutely loved the ice-cream and gulab-jaman combo, simply delicious!! They had other combos as well I was already full by then and couldn't handle any more!! When it comes to negatives, I'm actually struggling to find anything to say. The only one thing on that part was finding a car-parking spot at their private (and free) car park. But even then I can't really blame them for their own popularity! Suffice to say it was only an extra few minutes as we were lucky enough to spot an available space as someone was going. All in all, we really enjoyed our evening dinner at Nayaab's and will definitely be coming again next time we're in Manchester and of course we'd definitely highly recommend this as an excellent and family-friendly restaurant.

    Starters and Desserts were super class. The owner (who is also a Restaurant Manager) is very friendly and took good care of us. However main course was just stale food and tasteless. So if you planning to go here, focus on starters 😁

    Nicely managed buffet restaurant. Food quality is good. Taste also good. Nice customer service, wellcome greetings, and always ready and active for customer response. Clean and relax environment and my family enjoyed a lot. Food was well cooked with balanced spices. Fish and mutton have excellent taste. Juice drinks was also excellent in taste but need more options. Economical but limited dishes, better you can taste all the dishes equally. I cannot found anything negative. Strongly recommended.

    Been coming here for ages and the food has stayed consistently tasty! Price is great and you get a variety of starters and mains along with dessert. All curries taste authentic and are flavoursome. No matter if we have gone there early or late, the food has always been fresh and replenished regularly which is important for a buffet. No surprise why Nayaab is so popular. The staff are also very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    I would like everyone to think twice before visiting this place. The owner is a bully who disrespect's and bullies his employees and also has no respect for his customers. He is literally paying workers peanuts and for some who need the work they have to tolerate his vicious behaviour. (This has been witnessed by us as customers so can only imagine what he treats them like when there are no customers) The food standards are appalling as is the hygiene of this place. 0/10 for taste, value & as a whole.

    I visited Nayaab Restaurant with my friends and we were very impressed by the quality and variety of the food. The buffet had a lot of dishes to choose from, such as chicken prawn and fish starters, biryani, chicken tikka masala. Everything was fresh, hot, and tasty. The staff were friendly, polite, and fast. They checked on us regularly and refilled our drinks. The restaurant was clean and had a beautiful decor with flower walls. The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely come back again. I highly recommend Nayaab Restaurant to anyone who loves Indian cuisine and my favourite drink was mango lassi.

    We had a fantastic experience here Friday night (15.09.23) celebrating our parents surprise 50th anniversary! Great atmosphere, the décor is beautiful, and a welcome surprise compared to most Curry houses (plenty of Insta moments!) We were a party of 10 spanning 3 generations, none of which had been before, and we all loved the variety of food on offer (even the kids!). I'm guilty of eating far beyond my limit (4 trips + desert!), as the choice was much better, and tastier, than I expected. The staff were welcoming, very pleasant, and happy to help with anything we threw their way. As an old patron of its former incarnations (Sandpiper/Robinski's/It's a Scream) I was amazed at how different and beautiful the entire place looked and felt, the ambiance the team have created is nothing short of amazing! We took along our own embellishments (balloons, table runner) which the owners were completely fine with us setting up before the surprise parties arrived, and that really added to the occasion. If you're looking for a great place to eat, either as a couple or a large party, I can't recommend Nayaab enough! I'll certainly be going back again (once I've shed the additional stone in weight I must have gained there!) Top marks, and thanks again to the team for making it a more than pleasurable experience and a treasured memory!

    If you are looking for excellent taste and in reasonable price , then you should come here. My experience was very brilliant much better than Nawab. They have delicious meals with a cooperative & friendly staff.

  • 5/5 stacey r. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried Nayaab Buffet Restaurant tonight. 4 adults with soft drinks 68 quid. The service from start to finish was 10 out of 10. The young woman that seated us was so polite and helpful nothing was too much trouble. Starters were tasty. Fish pakora and chicken drumsticks were my favourite. I cannot fault any curry that I tried, each packed with flavour and you could taste a difference. Worth the drive during rush hour and will return.

    Amazing quality food. Great staff. Polite and catering to our needs. Disabled friendly environment - helped my elderly aunty and mum like they were their own. Never had this experience anywhere else. Polite friendly and down to Earth owner who is generous to his staff - 10/10 would recommend.

    Had a lovely time at nayaabs again. Food is great with a good choice of starters and mains. The staff are very friendly and we have spoke with the owner a few times now as he makes the effort to come over and say hello when he's free. Parking can be abit hectic on a busy sat night but have always found a space. Reasonable price and have always felt very well looked after. Will be going again.

  • 5/5 Ejhaz H. 1 year ago on Google
    It was our first visit. As I was born with congenital limb deficiencies, in short I was born without hands and feet. It is of great importance to me for a venue to be accessible. From parking our car to entering the restaurant, I could see that accessibility wasn't a issue here. The seating was great and it was just a short walk to the self service buffet. The welcome we received upon arrival was fantastic and the customer service was on point throughout our visit. As soon as we were finished with a plate, it was taken away, to avoid unwanted clutter on our table. We were regularly asked if we required any further assistance. The venue had a large accessible toilet with baby changing facilities. Unlike other places where we have visited, these toilets were kept clutter free and it made a real difference to me personally. Once we had finished and went to pay, we were asked if we had enjoyed our visit, to which we had nothing but praise for the entire staff for the way we were treated. In Sha Allah (God willing) we will be making a repeat visit.

  • 2/5 Khawar R. 9 months ago on Google
    I was there over weekend with colleagues (buffet) Decor was good, parking space was Ok, seating arrangements are limited for bigger groups. Anything over 12 would struggle to manage in seats. curry dishes were good, biryani was poor, but more importantly nothing was served hot not even mild hot. Sweet dishes were limited but good. Overall, for next time, I would pay a bit more to be at a much better option in the close vicinity.

  • 2/5 Adyan C. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here on a casual weekend trip whilst in the area. The interior is well decorated and the vibe is vibey and also the service here is escellent. So far I can see the owner has took his time to make this place the best he could given the decorations and the top class service. The food here is well cheap at only £18. Much lower compared to most of the other halal buffets in Manchester. However the food here is below average. The only thing that were good were the starters and the fried foods as well as the deserts, but they are hard to get wrong. Apart from that the rest of the food was below decent. The curries in my opinion were not spicy and would avoid if you truly like curries. The saag aloo and the chicken tikka masala were on par with the word disgusting. Wouldnt recommend. Will defo try another buffet next time im in Manchester.

    Tried it for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. Every dish was tasty. Nice decor inside. The chicken tikka was amazing, as was the soup - personal favourites of the night. Dessert was great too. The owner was super friendly and the staff were just as lovely. A really pleasant experience and we will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Z S. 1 year ago on Google
    I decided to give this place a shot and trust me, it was worth it. The decor is warm and elegant, reminds me of Elan cafe in London. The staff are all professional, smart and welcoming and lastly the food. I don't know where to start, the food is damn good. Totally tasty, fresh, flavorful. I enjoyed every moment and the owner is most likely one of the most humble owners I've come across. This place sits in my top 5 definitely and I will be returning again and again. Thank you guys for such an amazing experience. Zayn
