Ariyadh Arabic Restaurant مطعم الرياض العربي in Manchester

The meat is tough and dry and the vermicelli with the rice is burnt, a bad taste and a worse experience. Really bad experience — I will never order again! I ordered Lamb Mandi and Mohamer, but I received two similar dishes (Mohamer). If you don't have one of them, just say so! The meat was tough, and the vermicelli on top of the rice was burnt! I also ordered Arabic bread, but instead received two pieces of Lebanese bread wrapped in aluminum foil. Very disappointing.

Three of us with a baby had an excellent meal in beautiful surroundings. Very welcoming and hospitable. Highly recommended.

Food was amazing, portion was big.

Excellent, clean and delicious food

Iraqi guy made what I took to be rude jokes and didn’t provide good service.

Amazing food, brilliant service.

I thank Adam very much for his kind treatment

This is the first time I visit the restaurant and I heard praise for it and to be honest I was disappointed. I ordered meat mandi and the taste is delicious, fresh and juicy. Brother Adam did not fail to provide us with hospitality. May God grant him health and raise his status

Adam is a very good guy mashallah loved the food and service

Average food, average decor and atmosphere.

Very clean restaurant. And the Madi Rice was yummy. We ordered 3 Mandi Rice .. the quantity was enough for 4 of us. You should try it!

We had tasty Lamb and chicken mandi served on a bed of rice. The lamb and chicken were both succulent served with beautiful long grain rice and brown onions along with tomato and chilli chutney. We also had a side salad and Hummus served with fresh naan bread. Sat in a private booth and service was attentive. Very reasonably priced Thanks

The food was great and the place was very nice! Would really recommend :)

Visited this place after watching a food blogger rave about it. Went inside was fairly quiet. Service was fantastic but the food itself not so much. The meat was perfectly cooked , fall off the bone tender. But the rice didn’t taste fresh, just reheated and were lukewarm. The hummus wasn’t edible- it tasted like tinned chickpeas blended and nothing else. Couldn’t get rid of that tinned unwashed chickpea taste so that went to waste. Naan was fabulous. A little butter with it would’ve gone down well. In the end we found a beard hair in my rice. We didn’t say anything out of politeness and especially as it’s a small restaurant and it was pretty busy by the time we left. Disappointing to be honest.

Great food, service and atmosphere - we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Highly recommend. We went as a large group of ten, and they were able to accommodate us comfortably in a large room with lots of privacy. The meal was great - lamb was succulent and overall food was delicious.

The restaurant is bad in terms of food, taste and service, and the price is high for the food. Frankly, it is an experience that is impossible to repeat. The food is bad. Bad.

Amazing Food. My favourite is Mandi Lamb

Truly one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. Chicken off the barbecue and rice that melts in your mouth. Wow wow wow. What a little gem. Sometimes finding these small family owned businesses is always the way to go. Beautiful! My only regret is not taking a picture because I wolfed it down too quick! X

Food was good but the seating needs to be upgraded.

I strongly recommend it as one of the best restaurants

Drove all the way for 40mins to eat here,not as expected. We asked for 3 dishes in one big plate, salad and tea for £40. We got served in like 10mins, its ok restaurant, not so well maintained, food taste good. The person was kind, he asked if we need more rice but rice was enough for 3people but I felt meat was less compared to price it was for...

Went with family for my sisters birthday 🎂 nice sit down meal. Tasty food will deffo go back

I recently ordered food online and it was the bomb! The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions were huge. It was amazing! Keep up the good work!

Food was great, good prices however caused my whole family to have food poisoning the next day :/

The restaurant has an Arabic seating area, and the floor is clean and tidy You like the food and it is delicious Surprisingly, the prices are very reasonable I regret not knowing him before.

Nice atmosphere and excellent service

One of the best Mandi restaurants in Manchester

Food was not as expected at all. Tried Chicken Mandi with lots of expectations. Unfortunately, the rice and chicken lacked mandi flavour and were too bland. But the kunafa was quite good. Made fresh, and was tasty. The prices were quite cheap. Half chichen (baby chicken) mandi was priced at only £7.99. They have majlis seating as well, which felt nice. Service was also good and friendly.

Very nice food, enjoyed it. Friendly host

Very good and the service I received is 10/10 I came here like more than 10 times Adam look after us

I went to the restaurant twice. The first time the experience was very nice in terms of food and service, but the second time the service was unnaturally provocative. The receptionist was very rude and you felt like he was deliberately provoking you. This is different from the potato broth that came with a quarter of a potato, I expect.

The food is very good and exquisite

I really love this place! I ordered the large dishes for my sisters engagement from here. I also come in with my family for food. Try the Omani mendi it’s the best!

Very nice food and great service

Beautiful food, elegant treatment, and ordering does not take long

Delicious food and great service thank you

It was very good and the staff was very friendly

Fantastic food fantastic customer service!!!

Whenever I go Manchester I always go Raydan restaurant with my family and I thought to change once in a while and try the Ariyadh Arabic Restaurant, absolutely bad experience, the curly haired server was rude I wanted to order for my kids, so I asked about kids meal options and he replied this is not McDonald's or KFC, and he started lecturing me about what my kids can eat, if my family weren't with me I would've spoke to his boss about the importance of customer service. Wouldn't recommend. Would've put less than one star, but clearly not possible.

Great service great food. Aadam was the star of the show.

Great service all the time and food is always perfect! Keep up with the great work!

Mashallah, I loved the clean place and food, Mashallah 👌❤️

Fantastic food and great service. Can never go wrong with food!!!

The place is bittersweet and their treatment is good. May God make them happy. They did not fail in their work. They did well 🤙🏻

Eating them is worth the experience✨

Riyadh Restaurant, frankly, is very excellent and I recommend it! The food is very delicious and the staff are more than nice and very respectful. Their prices are very reasonable. For those in Manchester or visiting Manchester, good advice

Ariyadh is a great place for authentic middle-eastern food. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was nice. Prices are reasonable compared to the high food quality. I recommend it !

If you are looking for generous portions and authentic food with reasonable prices this place is perfect. We were recommended this place by some friends and it was our fiest time here. We chose to sit on the floor, although there is tables available. There is no descriptions on the menu so you have to go off the pictures. Our server Abdul Rehman was friendly and great at explaining what some of the dishes were to us. We arrived before the dinner rush and the chef personally came and explained the differences in the 3 types of rice dishes. We were given complimentary lamb soup, which was piping hot and delicious. By the time we left the place was packed out and very busy but they still took the time to make fresh kunafa for us. I'm not normally the biggest fan of this desert in honesty, but this was the best one I've tried so far, crispy, buttery and not too sweet. The arabic bread was freshly baked and so moreish, perfect with the tabbouleh and hummus. Lamb Mandi and Chicken Zurbian rice was on point with plenty left to take home.

Very clean and welcoming upstairs space for family. The service is very good and staff very friendly. Affordable price too! Recommend 100%

I bought 2 full lamp wre so delicious and cheep per than another restaurants.

Absolutely amazing place to go and have some lunch or anything else.Amazing service and very respectful staff.Perfect Chicken Mandi and perfect cakes like Tiramisu

The best in Manchester ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The best Staff and food in Manchester.

The best lamb Mandi in Manchester. Very comfortable seating too. Amazing service always

Great food at fairly affordable prices. Great restaurant with enough spaces, good for family dinners as it gives privacy curtain. Defo recommend it.

Thanks for remembering me the time I spend in saudia I like very much and the Man Abdul Kareem is very nice and friendly

The food is very amazing and I’m enjoying

Very nice food overall fabulous Mandi and kunafa

But if they reduce the colors in the food, it will be 👍🏼

A beautiful restaurant. The food is very nice, the service and the place are clean. Abdul Rahman’s style is very nice. May God bless them.

Brother Abdul Rahman's meaning is limited to his dealings, his sweet style, and the best man, I swear

The restaurant, God willing, is excellent. The meat is tender and melts in the mouth, and the restaurant staff have excellent manners

A very nice restaurant. The food is honestly delicious and the juicy jerboa has good meat. It reminds me of Saudi Arabia

I recommend it to you, excellent 👌🏻

The food is absolutely delicious and the customer service is outstanding.

Worst service waited for lamb mandi after waiting gave me chicken mandi

I’ve tried many Arab rice and lamp dishes in Manchester and the UK. This restaurant hold top one in my options when it come to rice. The best thing that I always recommend to my friends is “Omani Lamb Shuwa” 🏆😋 Update: The food qulity dropped down after the new managment took control. still ok but befor was way better

The restaurant is very, very delicious. Their food is exactly the same as Saudi cooking. The staff are very professional and respectful, and their service is top-notch. If I return to Manchester for the second time, this is the first restaurant I will come to.

I ordered chicken mandi. Unfortunately, the food was cold and the chicken was not of the required quality. Also, the spicy tomato salad that I had eaten had a rotten taste as if it had been there for a long time.

Very chill. Proper Arab style food and a banging Mandi. The customer service was on point and the staff were so friendly that it just added to the experience. Deffo would recommend !

Very bad and their treatment is very bad

International and delicious work. I tried their Mandi chicken, the respect and fast service is second to none

Absolute vibes. The owners were amazing. Came from west Midlands to meet my university friends..Made more after leaving the restaurant. Food was on point. Their customer service was even better.

The worst behaviour from this restuarant

food never turned up and the numbers don't work.

Good food, comfortable and hidden place, and good service Updated in July 2024: The food arrived very quickly. Normally we would have to wait half an hour, but they surprised me and I said it was improving. But I was wrong when I tasted the food. It tasted like bits of food. The soup was cold and even the rice from the main order was cold. The rice was old and dry and the meat was less than what we are accustomed to in this restaurant. Unfortunately, I used to love this place and come often, but they ruined it the last time and I will not return again

A beautiful Arabic restaurant serving a variety of Gulf dishes... They have a delay in serving food

Good customer service from Jamal

Ordered online. Was horrible. Food burnt to black.

The best place to make Arabic food in Manchester

Best experience, very good and generous service. Deserve every penny 💝

A restaurant specializing in popular Gulf dishes, mandi meat, chicken, rice, edamame, Arabic bread, and sweets. Their work is good and they are helpful and hospitable.

We ordered a large amount of food for a party, all the guests loved it and there was plenty to go around! Would highly recommend for events

No one call me and food is not delivered.

The taste of the food is marvellous!! I little gem in Fallowfield

Whoever loves rice should not skip it

Great food, great service and a great place to eat inside. Family friendly and worth the money

Was ok, the rice portions were big, but more meat would be better - this was also a bit chewy. The private booths gives it a nice authentic feel sitting down, and the guys were very warm and friendly.

Very local traditional place. Sat on the floor. With our own little private section. Went with few friends. The guy serving us was great. He bakes the best desserts. I took a few tiramasus away! Food was good. I like a bit more spice and this was def not that! It's Arab so bear that in mind if you if you like spicy food!

Authentic food. Big portions and authentic experience too. The guys running the show gave free food and drinks too which was nice of them. We ate on the floor on some comfy carpets too.

Top service, tasty food, highly recommended

Clean and tidy work. Our order was Omani grilled meat, which was special, with zirbiani rice. To Brother Ayoub, thank you for the reception, sweet spirit, and distinguished service.

Amazing food and great customer service there’s a guy he’s name is ayoub a great person honestly whenever you go the restaurant ask about him well recommended

I have ordered two chicken madhbi but i only received one. And it was oily and dry.

It was the last night before departing back home and I missed the lamb rice. I ordered one lamb mandi and it is enough for 2 persons. You need to try it it is very nice and the price is very suitable

Yesterday I Bought (Take Out) chicken Mandi, Lamb zurbain and humus with 2 breads. Bread was cold, there was no olive oil on humus. Chicken mandi rice was dry, partially cooked with burnt raisins n toppings. Lamb Zurbain was pathetic, was cooked a day before, which was re cooked even the potatoes were burnt all the toppings burnt (black). I came around saturday 5pm to take out. If u dint had the food or wasn't ready you should inform the customer DONT GIVE THIS ROTTEN FOOD OR RE COOKED FOOD.

I recommend this arabic restaurant. They have room available upstairs upon booking

I bought the parcel of lamb zurbain,the rice was burnt and taste was not good.

The best restaurant in Manchester

Great service and excellent food, very delicious. Good food and very nice treatment. May God grant you success
