    Good and fast service, friendly members of staff, plenty of seating available, a wide range of menu items to choose from. It does get busy, was recommend by a few friends to go and try this place and their fatayer, which was decent. Highly recommend this place for people to try out, there is some near by street parking.

    A famous institution that is well known for their cheap dishes. I always come for the chicken fatayer which for £4 is a great deal. Lots of cheese with soft crispy bread and good amount of chicken shawarma inside. It’s almost like a pizza without the tomato sauce for those who’ve never had one before

    The Mixed Mezze starter dish was the best I've ever had. Also loved their Lamb Shashlik which was very juicy. 👍🏽 I would also recommend their lamb fatayer as well. Has got plenty of spaces upstairs and allowed me to do my prayers as well.

    Reasonable prices given the quality of food. We ordered biryani with soup but it was’t that delicious at all. On average it is okay-sh with friendly staff.

    Nice and cheap (4-6£). The food is good and enough. They don't take too time to server. The place is little small, and maybe be full sometimes. If you don't like spicy food, take care and tell them, because they normally add a spicy sauce. Good place for taste some of Arabic food. Not recommended for eat quietly, is more like fast food.

    This place has the best fatayer I’ve ever had, the grilled lamb and chicken is succulent. The mixed mezze is amazing. Great prices and the food is always fresh and cooked and prepared on the day. Whereas the shawarma is prepared the night before to give it time to marinate properly. It is an extremely busy place no matter what time you come because the quality of the food is next level. Highly recommended, you can eat in and there are seating options upstairs to near the counter, if you eat in, order the food and they will bring it to you.

    I've been going to Jaffa for a long time and they never fail to impress with their food. The prices are also very reasonable. Their mezze id the best I have ever tried and everything is so fresh. Their fatayer I'd smazing and their shwarma I'd good. Their hummus is the best I've tried. Pizza is also lovely. I could come here weekly.

    Been coming Jaffa since my high school days (like 15years now). Fantastic food at fantastic prices. I ordered a mixed shawarma and a mix fatayer. Both were cooked succulently and fresh. Best shawarma spot in Manchester, a must visit.

  • 5/5 Sadaf K. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this place after 4 years and I was pleased to say it hasn't just stayed the same but it has improved from an already great establishment to an even better one. Their mezze salad I would highly recommend and so was their afghan pulaow special and also the fatayer. I would recommend the mint tea to follow!

  • 4/5 Mo R. 1 year ago on Google
    Their Fataye is amazing and reasonably priced. Mix salad is lovely and refreshing. Only negative is the environment and cleanliness, they need to stay on of their game in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. First floor seating area tables are not cleaned properly.

    For me and the family, when we think of visiting Manchester, we think Jaffa for good Middle Eastern food! We've been eating here for years, there's one problem though, it's too busy! You could be waiting quite a while for a table in a very tight space. I hope they expand at some point to allow for more seating. When you do get a table though, the food is really good! The place isn't about fine dining, so don't expect it to be sparkling clean and don't expect top notch table service, but what is guaranteed is that you won't be disappointed with the flavoursome and good quality food.

    We just had food here, wooow the food is delicious, we ordered a few and shared between the two of us. Great customer service.

  • 5/5 Amber A. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing food. In love with the pizza. It tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend everyone to go there

  • 5/5 Mohammed K. 7 months ago on Google
    Still Great food, great service. However the price has almost doubled. Mix kebab from £6.50 to £10. Again everything has gone up. So enjoy the food.

    I recently tried Jaffas, renowned for their delicious fatayer. I sampled the chicken and lamb varieties, and the chicken fatayer stood out with its incredible flavor. The savory fillings were expertly crafted, making for a delightful experience. If you're a fan of superb fatayer, Jaffas is a must-visit.

👍👍 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...
