Alexandros Greek Restaurant in Manchester

Great family run restaurant. 2nd visit. Good food. Great service.

Food was excellent, service with a smile and a great little gem.

We googled this before we came, eventually found it. Oh it was so lovely and quiet after such a busy road. It is run by a married couple, he is native Athens Greece. whare to start the wife made us welcome and left us the menu, we all ordered different mains but started with olives and pitta breads plus halloumi salad, scrumptious. I had a chicken mains, oh delicious, daughter had mousaka and grandaughter beef. We all sampled each others too, extremely full plates, more than enough to eat. If we returned to Northenden we would definitely go again, they are only open Friday's and Saturdays now, do go

Fantastic food, and service & very reasonable prices. Absolutely great in all respects

Amazing place. Owner is very kind and helpful. Food was so nice and fresh, I honestly couldn't say a bad word about the place. Even the price was amazing, under £50 for 2 course adults meal and drinks. Will definitely be back.

Really lovely place, excellent food and very nice owners. Will come again we had a lovely evening thank you!

Great service, lovely food. Small restaurant but very obliging - opened early for us enabling us to be in time for a theatre performance.

5* service 5* food. Had such a lovely night for our Christmas meal out with work. Even brought leftovers home as there was so much food and we were all stuffed. Thank you to demitris and Stephanie ❤️

Used this place a lot over the years iit was shut over lockdown and covid. Then open for takeaway only. Now fully open we went last weekend. Food was very drab. My starter was ok. Main gyros very dry. Wifes main was bowl of 8 meatballs and a bowl of greek potatoes. No pitta bread no sauce and no salad. Looking like its geared up for takeaway customers. Long long time if we go again. If ever. Definitely gone downhill

Not our first visit to Alexandros and again the food was excellent. Good quality, genuine Greek food. Sadly the restaurant itself is looking very tired and really needs a refurbishment. There was only one other table occupied and after they had left, it was just our party of four remaining, so as such the place was devoid of any atmosphere. The feeling we had was they all wanted to go home. The waitress left when we said we didn't want any dessert, after that we all felt a little rushed and compelled to leave. So we did. Again, we enjoyed our food but the restaurant is not without its issues. We probably wouldn't return, sorry.

Hidden Gem of Northenden. Really Good Greek restaurant

What a great find, we're so glad we decided to give this Greek restaurant a try as the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the dolmades to start, followed by chicken gyros platter and moussaka. Everything tasted great and the service was excellent.

We finally managed to return to Alexandros for a dine in meal. We weren’t disappointed. We shared various starters and each had a main course accompanied with a very nice white wine. I don’t usually have a desert but the homemade Sticky Toffee Pudding looked too scrumptious to ignore and it was delicious! Thank you to Stephanie for the warm welcome and to Dimitris (very busy in the kitchen) for the really authentic Greek cuisine once more. Won’t be long until we visit again.

Great place with lovely staff! Only take out but seems like they’re planning on opening up shop in a couple of weeks. Warn and friendly staff that was more than helpful! Great food. Looking forward to visiting again, and hopefully dine in next time!

Very delicious Greek food. Superb service. Good Greek wines

The new wraps are top 🔝 I had a wrap 🌯 and a baclava and that was the best dinner ever.

Wonderful authentic Greek food, amazing taste, huge portions, quick and friendly service. Don't tell anybody, otherwise it will get too crowded :-)

Great food Lovely hosts Love flying from Manchester so I can go here

Excellent service, excellent food

Lovely food and warm welcome lovely staff beautiful

Top class service and food as always

First time here last night with my partner we got the mezze for 2 and it was absolutely outstanding the food was so fresh and so much of it the waitress was lovely and explained all the food that was coming out and the owner and his wife lovely and chatty and we got a free shot of ouzo at the end highly recommend defintley be back thank you so much Alessandro 10/10

Found this gem... the food was delicious and the hospitality is very warm... both by the lady waitress and the chef. Thank you for feeding us such authentic Greek food.... The meze for 2, the selection is very wide, portion is huge and very tasty. The moussaka is very flavoursome... Awesome dinner. Thank you very much, Chef!

Just been here tonight and omg what a treat.. we ordered 2x 2person meze for 5 of us, it was so much food it would of easy feed 6 of us. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back. The service was fantastic. The waitress explained all the dishes and was very attentive. The chef came out to see where we were up to during the meze. He was lovely and told us not to fill up on pitta (this is great advice lol) This is a must visit place, highly recommended.

I went for a meal with my 3 boys all under 10. The staff were amazing with them and it was really nice that the owner came out to chat to us. We had the meat mezze and was more than enough for the 4 of us and was so delicious! The food all tasted so fresh and seasoned perfectly. This was my first visit but definitely not my last.

Fabulous food and great service

Fantastic food. Best food outside Greece and great service .

We had the most amazing food last night ,1st time in ages that I’ve been, excellent value ,great service. From all the staff.We’ll be back soon. Thank you .

Fantastic little find...Great service great staff and awesome food

Another amazing night in Alexandros x. Never disapointed, fantastic, friendly staff and chef x. Food deliciouse as always x Looking forward to come back in April with another friends so they can try amazing Greek food x. Thank you so much x

Nice food lovely people. Thank you

Went to this place last night and OMG beautiful. We had the meze for 2. You might think £48 was a bit pricey but let me tell you it was well worth it. Started with the pitta bread and dips. There was more than enough for 2. Then came the starters. Again - there was more than enough for 2. We didn’t even get to the meat dishes. The owner potted it all up and we have heated in the oven and had it for dinner tonight. It feed 3 adults. The food was amazing. Would strongly recommend. The young waiter was brilliant. I am just annoyed I didn’t take his name. For a young man he was full of confidence. Nothing was too much for him. A real gentleman and an absolute credit to the owners. This place is definitely are new go to place. Well done to the whole team

Amazing food and wonderful service! Would recommend.

Fab family meal out 4 of us shared Mezze, great value

Good food, large portions excellent value for money, from a fantastic mine host. Thanks for a fabulous New Year's Eve

We have visited Alexandros a number of times to eat in, but this was out first time ordering takeaway but won't be our last!Amazing authentic Greek food at a great price, delivered bang on time and the food was delicious!Would recommend the moussaka, lamb souvlaki, and spanakopita. Looking forward to ordering again soon from our favourite local Greek restaurant.

Had 2 take aways from here during lockdown despite being 40 minutes drive. We have 2 local Greek restaurants that sell takeaway but are poor in comparison.Food this evening was spot on as always. Staff are very welcoming, wear face marks and make the process very easy. I'm sure if we was a lot closer we would have a takeaway a lot more often. Can't wait to visit when you reopen for sit down meals!

We had a takeaway from here and were really impressed. Quick service, superb quality and great portion sizes. Highly recommended.

Reallly delicious takeaway this evening, enjoyed by us all! Highly recommend! Excellent quick service too!

Visited today ordered via just eat for collection as had some good reviews. Really pleased with the meal. Really tasty lamb kebabs. Well cooked and perfect texture. I would recommend you order extra portion of bread one because it's so delicious and two because it's just half a slice as standard in the meal. My husband had the mixed grill which was a good size and really tasty. In visiting the staff team advised it is cheaper to order directly from the restaurant via phone or on their website to get 10% off. Will be visiting again and will go direct too. It has been the nicest meal we've had since lockdown not being able to eat out has really affected our treats and date nights so fantastic to find a quality option to order and take home.

I used to live locally, so i have met Dimitrius the owner on a number of occasions. He's known for being one of the tallest people in North West, he's also known for being a budding enterpreneur. Over the years he has started a variety of businesses such as, a chippie, a cafe patisserie, a food wholesale and distribution, a pop up kebab shop in Manchester Christmas market and others. All of them are still going and doing extremely well, even in those hard times, just like his restaurant.

Not authentic, not greek. The quality of the meat served is the worst that could possibly be, it only opens 2-3 days a week and on Saturday night was empty. The only positive fact is that the very tall owner (should be 6.4) makes you laugh with his jokes about the high quality standards of the restaurant. I would visit it again only for the tall guy.

Un restaurante familiar y acogedor. He leído comentarios aquí donde la gente se queja de que las instalaciones son básicas y estériles, bueno, todos son diferentes, por supuesto, pero para mí las premisas brillantes no significan nada si la comida es basura, y en este caso la comida más que compensa el lugar en sí.Las porciones son enormes, la calidad de todos los ingredientes es claramente superior, o de todos modos. La primera vez en mucho tiempo tuve pollo que sabía a pollo y no a un sustituto acuoso lleno de hormonas.Definitivamente regresaré, ya sea solo para tener otro de sus asados yummi.

Das Restaurant ist unr Freitag, Samstag und Sonntag geöffnet. Ein Besuch lohnt sich. Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt, in netter Atmosphäre.

I visited here with my partner at the weekend. We both had a lovely time from the food to the chilled atmosphere, it felt very authentic. Very reasonably priced and the staff were both helpful and friendly. We will definitely be going back again soon!

We love this restaurant. The staff are lovely and the food is amazing. Thanks for looking after us on my Mum's 60th birthday and me and the hubby will see you again very soon.

I took my partner here on a Friday evening for what was to be a nice evening for two. Interior was very basic and chairs not too comfy but mainly the food was bland. The items on the meze lacked flavour and the vine leaves were not homemade. The meat was tasteless and not marinated at all. Food presentation was tragic, just cheap cuts of meat, thrown into a plate !!! Finally the restaurant was almost empty. Not a good sign. We left disappointed.

This is my third trip to Alexandros and every time I have gone the food has been astonishingly good. Each element of the main courses are perfect balanced with fantastic salads, breads and dips. Absolute recommendation A***

Been to this restaurant this evening and WOW ! - excellent food. We ordered Meze - it was amazing, loved every mouthful - even daughter enjoyed It.! We couldn't quite finish the food as we were so full and contented. The staff were attentive and lovely to be able to speak to the owners who are friendly and jovial. Love this place. Will definitely be back soon. Keep on doing what you're doing Alexandros - you're amazing.

I don't know what to say, this was the worst restaurant i have ever been. Probably locals have the same view, that's the reason the place was totally empty on Friday evening. There was grease everywhere. Greasy potato wedges, greasy chicken, greasy burgers. The vine leaves was clearly canned as were the butter beans. There was no atmosphere, no authenticity, just a mature, tiny guy going up and down. A complete waste of time and money. Unhealthy food served in empty premises!!!

We have been visiting this restaurant since it first opened and have always had a super meal. The staff are so nice and always give a great welcome. We shared a small variety of starters and a main course each with the house wine which was good. My husband had his usual choice of Lamb chops and I Alexandros Prawns as mains. Dimitri presented us with a small portion of his very popular Chicken Gyro to try for the first time. It was so tender and succulent I can understand why it has become a favourite with his customers. I know what I am having on our next visit. Thank you Dimitri and staff.

I don't know where to start really! As we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a friendly lady and taken to our table. For starter I had (homemade) stuffed vine leaves. If the vine leaves on the plate are all exactly the same shape come straight from the tin, obviously they aren't homemade. To make things worse, they were served in a tomato-garlic sauce. That combination made my starter inedible. I then ordered chicken souvlaki for main. That was cheap (Iceland quality) chunks of chicken brushed with fat, some salad, a yogurt sauce and frozen potato wedges again covered in fat. Although I was hungry, eating the grease was somewhat disgusting. Presentation wise, obviously we didn't have high expectations from an empty restaurant. However just throwing some greasy chicken and potato wedges onto a plate, wasn't acceptable. I decided not to complain, as it was crystal clear to me that the (chef) didn't know what he was doing to put it kindly, therefore there was no room for improvement. To make our greek night even more remarkable, suddenly out of the blue, a tiny guy came out and started chatting with our table. Apparently the owner, told us how proud he was about the quality of the ingredients he was using and the authenticity of the food he was serving. Needless to say that we were trying hard not to start laughing. Conclusion. Even though the portions are generous, the food there is unhealthy and bland. That's the reason this place is empty, even on weekends. Avoid !!

Arrived for a date night meal. We were not at all disappointed. The waiting staff were incredibly insightful and patient. Wine and gyros were excellent, as was the selection of starters we shared. Would definitely recommend!

We arrived and was surprised that only 6 ppl (3 tables) were occupied in the entire restaurant, however we were welcomed quite positively and ushered to our table.Waiting staff were polite and helpful but could have been in better attire (there were very relaxed in different types of clothing... maybe a smart shirt would be better).The food was tasty and very large portions (bring your appetite with you).The service was good enough, but staff could have alerted to some food items that would take a bit longer as it meant my partner and I were eating our meals at different times due to his taking more time to prepare.Overall we will be back! We liked it there

Me and my mum came on Saturday evening- we had a lovely authentic Greek meal. Very attentive and pleasant staff and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back.

The food was amazing, friendly staff, great atmosphere The best greek restaurant in town Fresh ingredients

Visited this restaurant whilst staying in a local hotel before our flight in the morning. A brilliant find for gourgous traditional Greek food. Excellent choice and service, staff even explain the large portions are probably too much for children and offer half portions. Our son is 12 and a half portion was plenty for him.

Really enjoyed our meal last night. Had a lovely evening. Lovely atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My son's needs were fully catered for as he has severe allergies - the best response we have ever had. The service was excellent. Food gorg!! Thank you so much.

Excellent,tasty,authentic cuisine. Really good value,good sized portions, all served by the friendly staff. We look forward to visiting again very soon

Visited on a Saturday night, we both had prawns to start with then chicken gyros and lamb kebabs. The food is gorgeous, really good service, the chef comes round to check everyone is happy. Hopefully the start of many visits!

Tuvimos un tiempo fantástico con mis amigos aquí el 29/06/2019, que fue mi tercera visita.

We’ve been coming here for some years now for all types of occasions. The best Greek restaurant by far and never fails us. Amazing food and amazing service!

First time to Alexandros Greek restaurant. All I can say is that the food was amazing, the staff are friendly welcoming and made you feel at home. Nothing was to much. Looking forward to coming back and trying mazes. You get plenty of food.

At the time of writing this restaurant is ranked 12th of over 1800 restaurants, the top 1% of all the restaurants in Manchester - really?

We've been here again this evening. Thankfully it's local but the taste is not. It's perfect little restaurant with fabulous staff and authentic Greek food.

Once again, I’m happy to give this restaurant a 5* review

Visité dos veces en diciembre, en primer lugar como una fiesta de Navidad, pre mezze pre, con opción de vegetariana o carne. . ambos increíbles

24 novembre 2018. ristorante di bella presenza, accogliente, come il proprietario, la carne cotta in maniera spettacolare. tutto ok..dal servizio al conto. alla prossima un saluto dalla sardegna... ristorante che consiglio per chi va in visita a manchester.

All great to see you both and have a fantastic meal and time at the best restaurant in manchester see you soon

The best Greek restaurant in Manchester, delicious food, amazing service , nice staff We definitely back here again

I visited last night to celebrate a 50th birthday. I have heard very good reports of the restaurant but this was my first visit. There were 7 of us and we had the mezze. The staff were great - attentive and friendly. The table was groaning under the weight of the delicious, freshly cooked food which just kept on coming. Fabulous and I'll definitely go back.

We came here after seeing such fantastic reviews. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Both the service and food was first class - fresh, plentiful and home made. We will definitely be returning here.

Came here with my wife after several recommendations It's only open on a weekend so book your table .we ere greeted by two lovely friendly ladies who took us to our table we had a good chat with them then ordered drinks .when they came to take our order my wife wasn't sure what to get so the brought out a few samples something which I have never seen before then the owner / chef came over for a chat what a lovely guy he was we had our starters then main and it was beautiful and fresh and nothing was any trouble to the staff the chef came out again to greet the other people arriving and came to see if we needed anything he told us to stay and have some fresh made coffee and biscuits on the house but we have to leave I thanked him and his staff for a lovely meal and great night he then put his arms round me and thanked me for coming I don't think in all my years of eating out I have ever felt more welcome and more relaxed in any restaurant We can't wait to go back

We visited here two weeks ago and due to having to come back to Manchester, we decided to come back to Alexandros and the food once again did not disappoint. We rang earlier in the day to ask if we could move our booking forward and they said this was not a problem. When we arrived we were greeted with a very friendly welcome and were made to feel at home. The food was first class again, this time I went with the Alexandros Special Mixed Grill and it was all cooked superbly. My partner had a prawn dish and she thoroughly enjoyed it again. I cannot praise the owners and staff enough as they are very friendly and polite. Next time we are in the area we will certainly be returning again.

Having travelled to Manchester (for a flight the next morning) from Durham City we were hungry!

De repente teníamos ganas de una comida griega, así que investigamos en TripAdvisor y encontramos este lugar, un poco lejos de casa, pero puedo decir que valió la pena.

We like to have different foods as always chose Italian or Chinese and my hubby chooses greek this little gems and we both satisfied and fall in life with foods as well place. Recommended to go there and will never be disappointed for sure.

He vivido en el lugar por 3 años y nunca había visitado antes. Alexandros Sin embargo, por un capricho fui en un domingo por la noche como estaba impresionado con lo que he estado perdiendo.

After reading all the great reviews on Tripadvisor we finally visited Alexandros and it definitely lived up to expectations. Amazing traditional Greek food cooked with love. The chef and I believe owner visited our table and chatted for a while which was a lovely personal touch. I'll definitely be back and spread the word about this gem of a place.

The Greeks are known for cooking lamb to the highest quality and they did not disappoint this time. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal with friendly & welcoming staff, will definitely be visiting again!

Tuvimos una comida muy agradable en la noche de sábado que normalmente tienen 3 entradas y luego de un breve descanso y luego 3 más entrantes - básicamente sólo crear su propia mezze, entonces usted puede tener exactamente lo que quieres. La comida era muy buena, así como el vino blanco de la casa de la jarra. Un par de cafés y un griego Metaxa y Tia Maria terminado una noche muy agradable. No hay demasiada gente para un sábado, pero los clientes lo suficientemente cerca. Buen servicio. Cuenta General muy razonable para lo que teníamos.

No hemos podido llegar a un restaurante favorito por mucho tiempo, pero fue fantástico ver tanto y como siempre, la comida era perfecta y disfrutar de cuidar su jubilación semi y volveremos pronto gracias de nuevo por una comida fantástica.

The halloumi. The dips. The butter beans. The rose. The service. All fantastic!!! We will be back to try the meat meze :)

Been loads of times and sat in the restaurant which has always been fab. We recently got a takeaway delivery and it was just as good. Arrived hot and fresh and the delivery was quick. Love this place.

We went with a group of adults to this restaurant the food was fantastic very tasty and lots of it.the price was very reasonable. The ambience was lovely thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go again

Alexandros is a brilliant restaurant. It's authentic Greek cuisine. I'd recommend the meat mezze and a bottle of mythos to anyone!

Again, the same fantastic standard of food has been maintained, fabulous service and great atmosphere. Thankyou :)

7 of us visited on Friday 7th April family girls night out.

Have just had another great dinner here. The vegetarian meze at Alexandros must be the best meal in Manchester. Great value for money, tasty food, attentive service and more than we could eat.

I love Greek food and my partner is Greek so we were excited to try Alexandro's. We were definitely not disappointed. The food is good, portions are big, and the staff are friendly. I recommend trying the prawns saganaki they were delicious! The house wine is also good and nice that they also serve it in a 500ml carafe if you don't want a whole bottle!

Lovely food! Dimitri is a nice bloke! Always looks after us! Worth the drive! Enjoyable meal again, have the set...

He estado aquí muchas veces antes. Siempre he estado satisfecha con la calidad de la comida. Sin embargo, esta vez me dejó impresionado, ya que no esperaba ser tan desilusionamos. Mis expectativas eran altas, porque como he dicho que tenía una buena reputación y he...
