    The best lamb chops I had in years! Grilling lamb chops isn't easy and those guys nailed it! Tried the mix grill as well. Nice atmosphere and service. Definitely recommend it

    Perfect for students, lovely atmosphere, fantastic value for money for amazing authentic food. New location is really nice. BYOB was easy, no corkage charge. Food arrived quickly perfect for a group to share. Jade our server was lovely and knowledgeable about the menu. Would recommend the veggie kibbeh!

    A lovely friendly restaurant. They pack in some unique and string flavors to the Mediterranean food. Well done! PS: Bring your own alcohol as they don't have a license.

    We ordered food from Pasha for our Wedding party. It was amazing, arrived right on time, there was plenty of it and all very tasty! Everyone who came to our party commented on how amazing the food was! The one token picture I took does not do it justice - i barely had time to take a picture before people dived in! Taff was so accommodating and helpful when we were trying to decide how much and what to order! We love the restaurant so this was the obvious choice for our party!

    There are a limited number of parking places available very close to the restaurant on the main road and we were very lucky to get one just outside the fire station. We were welcomed very warmly and the waitress immediately offered to open the wine we had brought as you can bring your own wine with no corkage charge! We were also offered a jug of tap water which came with ice and lemon. For starters we had the Pasha baba Ghanouj, Chicken Bourak and Kibbeh Makli and all of them were excellent with the baba Ghanouj being one of the best we'd had - even better than in Istanbul. For mains I had the mixed kebab, which was one skewer of lamb cubes, one of chicken cubes and one of minced lamb. All of the meat was lovely and tender with a lovely hint of spice and I would say they were all cooked perfectly. The sauces accompanying them was also great. We also had some rice with vermicelli and a portion of tabouleh which was delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful and my only slight gripe was that the tables are rather close together and it would be rather difficult to have a cosy, intimate dinner here. However, the food was excellent and I love being able to take my own wine as I know it will be good and I wont be paying way over the odds for it. Pity its not nearer home!

    Pasha is our ‘go to’ restaurant whenever we fly from Manchester airport. Our first visit to the new premises (previously located on Wilmslow Road) after a 2 year break due to the pandemic. Taff is a brilliant host. The menu, recipes, flavours and quality are exactly the same as the previous restaurant. The food is phenomenal, authentic and prepared with passion. The prices are great and BYOB is a bonus with no corkage charge. Congratulations and well done to Taff and his team for continuing to maintain the fantastic experience this restaurant provides. Very highly recommended. Thank you Taff & Pasha Team. We will be back.

    I went there with my family for the very first time and the customer service was amazing! The restaurant manager was very nice and welcoming. He also gave us pretty good discount! Great value for money for tasty food. We tried Lebanese food for the first time and everything was delicious! Highly recommend to everyone. The restaurant itself is very clean and tidy and there is enough good space for families to dine in.

    Used to be 5 stars. Now a website only, which let me spend half an hour ordering, paying with a card and then sent me a text saying it was cancelled. No explanation, no answer from phone number quoted on Facebook.

  • 5/5 Ella B. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed a meal here last night. Jade who served us was very attentive and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed. She kindly recommended some dishes and they were so delicious, especially the vegetarian recommended small plates. All the family enjoyed it and we'll definitely be back again. Great value for money

    The food, decor, shisha and vibes this day were off the charts!! I went here for dinner and we ordered the lamb kebab; one with rice, the other with chips. The mocktail were really good too, I enjoyed the strawberry daiquiri. Perfect spot for catching up with friends, midweek shenanigans, date night etc!!

  • 5/5 Alina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful restaurant!! Absolutely delicious food - healthy and comforting at the same time, and really good quality. Lovely welcoming staff, which makes for an all round top experience. Can't recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Atif I. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow. Just tried this place for the 1st time today. We loved the the mixed grill and it was AMAZING! Beautiful succulent meats cooked to perfection and super fresh crisp salads with soft beautifully cooked rice and breads. The dips on the side complement the meat beautifully. I would highly recommend you give this place a try. Sobia

    Visited this for the first time upon recommendation from friends. The food was absolutely delicious. Full of flavour and generous portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and the food came really quick. Lovely atmosphere and beautiful decor. Can’t wait to go back! Would highly recommend.

    Nutritious and seriously tasty food. Incredibly flavoursome, well seasoned and of the highest quality. The definition of hearty yet healthy eating. Lovely interior decor with immaculate, personable and upbeat service to match! A must visit!!

    Absolutely fantastic food and service. Pasha catered for a large event for us recently. The food arrived on time and was still warm on arrival. They helped us pick the menu to cater for children and those with allergies and suggested how much to order for the number of guests ( which was pretty accurate). I would highly recommend them and definitely use them again.

    From the moment we came in and we have been met with exceptional welcome and customer service from everybody. The food taste exceeded our expectations. we will definitely come back again . Thanks for the generous hospitality

    We used to love the restaurant when it was in Withington on Wilmslow Road itself but since it moved to its new location, we hadn’t tried it. We ordered tonight for 4 of us and it was absolutely superb. The food was hot and very tasty and it was as good as if we were sat in the restaurant. I remember the owner back in the restaurant and me and my wife recently chatted to him in the village and he said we must try it so we did. I will certainly be ordering it again 👍

  • 5/5 Khalifa A. 1 year ago on Google
    6 star service, from the moment we walked in. The food was fresh, and everything was finished by my part of 10. Authentic food, immaculate vibes. All in all a 10/10 night. I would rate it higher if i could. Would definitely be bringing more people out here

  • 5/5 k2damen 1 year ago on Google
    This wasn’t just a great meal it was a food experience! Went there today with a friend since the local place we meant to go to was shut and I’m happy it was! The food was unbelievable, fresh, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Best Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had! Highly recommend.

  • 3/5 hassan s. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and clean. Bit pricey in the sense that I had to pay £53 for myself and two kids. I think £35 would have been good value for the food I ate.

  • 4/5 Geanina T. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is nice & the venue looks actually good. Enjoyed the shisha and they play very good music. But what lacked was customer service which just made the whole experience just not as pleasant as I thought would be. The restaurant was very busy, but that didn't mean the host couldn't be more attentive. They also crack jokes and push each other quite alot, which isn't professional and leaves customer's with a bad taste.

  • 5/5 AA g. 1 year ago on Google
    Must say …(the one man) …who served us scored 80%……of our first impression.The food was good and fine…Do have the Authentic Lebanese touch….compared to Lebaneses which we had in Uk before…we had our first taste of Lebanese food in Saudi Arabia….and in UK we found this place with almost similar flavour to it…and must say …single man service…. well he scored it…prices…it’s not cheap….but It’s a great place for a treat …

  • 5/5 Nick J. 2 years ago on Google
    So pleased to see this wonderful restaurant open again for eating in, we were gutted when the original site closed(!), though the takeaways having been keeping us happy in-between. No quality has been lost in the move and we're delighted as it's now even closer to home. See you again soon.

  • 5/5 wisam h. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Arabic food. Went last weekend for the first time, and already booked a table for today! Excellent quality, authentic flavours, top ingredients, wonderful service by Jade, very good value for money, and a chilled out atmosphere. I can't recommend it enough. We tried the maklooba, a flat baby chicken dish, the potato kibbeh, and the chef even made us an impromptu burger (not on the menu)... best burger I have ever had!

  • 2/5 SNehar 2 years ago on Google
    After reading the amazing reviews me and my husband thought we would try this place out. The reason for my low rating isn't so much the food, as food was decent but not amazing. I think what lacked was customer service which just made the whole experience just not a pleasant one. We were the only customers in the restaurant one quiet evening but that didn't mean the host was more attentive. I went up first time to say we were ready to order and second time to ask for salt. Busy on the mobile phone?! Never visiting again unfortunately wasn't welcoming feeling at all.

    Amazing food and excellent service, served by Taff. Had the lamb shank, mixed kebab and shawarma. Place was nice and cosy, felt like a home dining experience. Thanks guys will be back again.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
