    Me and my wife went there to have Turkish breakfast and we were not disappointed. We had Turkish breakfast and everything was perfect. I really enjoyed the bread that was freshly baked.

    The food was very standard. At other Turkish restaurants we've had home made out of the oven bread, but here we got a tortilla wrap which looked like it had come straight out of a supermarket packet. There also seems to be a language difficulty with the guy running the restaurant.

    I am not someone to leave review but when a place is worth a good review and recommending then I won’t hesitate. Literally the best Turkish place for breakfast, felt like I was in Turkey. Highly recommending this place. Food was excellent, fresh bread and fresh food. Service beyond excellent staff are very friendly. And their price is very reasonable you can’t get this food and service for the price they offer… anywhere else in Manchester, nor in London.

    The food was great, had a burger and a salad with my partner. Service was quick, but the food wait time was a bit longer than expected due to a completely empty restaurant, but nothing too bad. The salad looked amazing and tasted the same. The burgers can use a bit of smash on them because it’s nearly impossible to bite the whole thing in one mouthful.

    Came here for breakfast with the family. It EXCEEDED our expectations. The food was delicious, choice of music was great, and the hospitality and friendliness that the staff radiate is just special. I strongly recommend visiting this place - they seem to also do lunch and dinner.

    Authentic Turkish cuisine This is perfect for a date night or even a group outing where you want a nice, calm dinner. It’s quite a small venue and can seat around 40-50 people Go with an empty belly as you’re not going to be disappointed!

    Incredible food. The mini meze for two is delicious and almost a meal in itself! Incredible food, genuinely warm and friendly service. An absolute gem, and, as my friend who hadn't eaten there before said, a great find.

    I can only say amazing things about Saray - I would even say best Turkish in Manchester. I discovered this place a couple of months ago with some friends, we got the mixed meze platter and mixed meat platter, and both were so unbelievably delicious and great value for money. The portions were generous and the food really hit the spot. We had such an amazing time last time, that Saray was the number 1 choice when we decided to throw a large surprise party for one of our friends. The management and staff (shout out to: Mehdi, Mehmet and Jem) went above and beyond with everything! From the moment I picked up the phone to organised the party for 20 people, to the very end where they had a station to pack-up all our leftovers. I can speak highly enough of them and their kindness that day. Mehdi even came in on his day off to make sure everything was perfect for our special event. We ordered a wide selection of food, from mixed meze to mixed meat and mixed fish platters - every single item was delicious. One friend even said that it was better than the food in Turkey ... talk about authenticity! (Side note: I've also been here for brunch, and it's definitely the best brunch place around) So, I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you for being an amazing restaurant. I'd recommend you all try it out :)

    Truly delicious food, and such variety. My partner and I only discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and have already been twice! We’re both vegetarian and there are tonnes of options which are tasty and also feel quite healthy. The bread is the best I have tasted, and we would really recommend the Esme. The host is so kind and attentive and gave us a free dessert as I am pregnant so eating for two!

    10/10 !!! The nicest Turkish cafe! Prices are so reasonable and huge portions of food! I went for lunch today and ordered a full English and it was the nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. The Sausage & bacon was cooked to perfection and cooked throughly. And I was offered the choice of Turkish bread or regular bread. I tried the Turkish bread for the first time and it was unbelievable! Genuinely the best loaf of bread I’ve ever had! I highly recommend the fresh bread! My dad ordered the club sandwich with fresh chicken and Turkish sausage and it was unreal! We ordered a pot of tea to share, and it lasted us 4 cups each! Honestly the best cafe I’ve been too! The quality and service is 10/10 We enjoyed our visit here and will be back again soon!

    Great little Turkish restaurant in Chorlton. Friendly service and lots of options on the menu. The breakfast is quite good and is served until 4pm which is great. I'd recommend it!

    By far our favourite place for authentic and tasty Turkish food. Everything we have tried so far has been amazing including the fresh warm bread. If you want something off menu then nothing is too much trouble. The owner is very attentive, friendly and has a great sense of humour which makes the whole dining experience a complete package. It’s a must try if you are in the area.

    I don't normally leave reviews but these guys go well above and beyond! After performing a panto round the corner, they managed to accommodate 28 of us at 10.15 with no hurry to rush us out even though we were there for ages, and the food is incredible. Everyone really enjoyed it. Massive thanks to Saray and the whole staff for being really lovely. Nothing is ever a problem! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!

  • 4/5 Flor D. 1 year ago on Google
    Walked in for a late breakfast, my initial intention was to combine a little meze. I ended up getting a flatbread with spinach and cheese from their bk menu and a hot chocolate with whipped cream. What a lovely service, food and atmosphere. I'm happy I found out this option in Chorlton.

  • 3/5 Jacqui K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had eaten here before & my daughter treated me to a pre-birthday meal with my Mum & 3 grandchildren. We'd previously eaten here 7 years ago fory special birthday & the food & service was amazing. We've also been in between time for various celebrations so was excited to return. The restaurant has been remodelled & looks amazing, staff very friendly. 4 of us ordered the set menu which included a starter & a main course. 1 child had grilled chicken, rice & a side of fries. 2 had a dish "can't remember the name of which was a mixture of chicken/lamb served on pitta. My starter was lamb meatballs served in a tomato sauce & lamb casserole served with rice. Ate the starter but found it lacked seasoning & the sauce had no flavour. The main was considerably better. My mum ordered sea bass for her main & left most of it because it lacked flavour & was dry. She requested hot sauce & a slice of lemon for flavour but was disappointed. On the whole, the meal was enjoyable, our waiter was lovely, very friendly & welcoming which was reflected in the tip. I think the chef has changed, not sure if we'll return any time soon but 5 stars for customer services.

  • 5/5 Ollie 2 years ago on Google
    We tried Saray for the first time this week as a takeaway and we were amazed by how good it was. We shared a mixed platter, moussaka and lamb/chicken grill and everything tasted delicious. Good value with decent portions that tasted fresh and homemade. The staff were kind and when I went to pick up our order, there was a really pleasant atmosphere inside. Definitely will be trying this one again.

    I have visited Saray a few times and the service is always excellent. It never disappoints. The food is always brought to the table quickly and well presented. Most of all it’s delicious. Asiye is a fantastic host and today she was amazing, going above and beyond when my son was ill in the restaurant. Çok teşekkür ederim. Hope to return soon

    Good turkish food. We ordered a Turkish sausage sujuk toastie which came with a side of fries, sucuk omlette and hummus which came with a piece of turkish bread. Everything tasted good, thanks Saray!

    I’ve Visited a few times now food is lovely my favourite is the garlic prawns. Staff even went out there way to make a sucuk pizza for my son who is very fussy with food and rainbow mocktails which he was really happy with made he’s day. In all you can’t fault anything most importantly staff are lovely and welcoming.✨
