Sooo Ive been trying to try Somalian food. Asking around I was always told Bellos. A few times I passed they were closed, but that was me not knowing their hours. Therefore I tried another neighboring restaurant. Their lamb was good but LET ME TELLLLLLL YOU CHILE YOUR GIRLS TASTEBUDS WERE PARTYING. Everything at Bellos is perfect. I had to go back the next day and I pre ordered that bad boy you hear. Was on here to check the menu to go back now 3 days in a row and decided to leave a review. The beautiful owner/chef has great customer service. Just ring the bell😉

The girls are friendly and responsive but the takeout portions need to be better. The trays are barely half full or close to full and 50p for bananas each is quite ridiculous for Somali food. Please make your take out portions are as generous as if you were eating in the restaurant and fill up the takeouts trays as you fill up the plates when eating in the restaurant. Thank you.

The service, customer service, and management, is sub-par and unsatisfactory, i.e. horrible. There seems to be no management when it comes to receiving orders. Others could arrive 30 minutes after you, order the same meal, and somehow get their food before you. Staff has no time management and customer service skills. The customers I have witnessed including me, have been ignored completely when it came to inquiring about our food. "It will be ready in 5 minutes" has turned to 45 minutes instead, despite already waiting 30 minutes initially! The food is great, however it is not worth it. The bad service completely ruins the taste of the food and the overall experience. My advice: 1. Have some sort of order management system. Orders should be prioritized based on who orders first! 2. Hire some more staff. The two servers were struggling to serve and tend to all the customers in the restaurant during lunch time. NB. Customer service goes a long way, apply it with more urgency.

We had an amazing experience at Bello’s Kitchen! I brought a group from out of town and we were well looked after. The owner is hands on with customers, quick to welcome, share her story, answer questions and accommodate needs. Everyone in our group was extremely satisfied. The food is outstanding! Packed with flavor! You simply must go to this restaurant!

I had the most incredible food and time. I hadn’t experienced Somalian food before and the owner personally helped us order. She came out and answered all of our questions about how she got started. You could tell that the costumers knew the owner and she knew them. Everything was fresh and made to order. If you are in Manchester it is a MUST!

This is the first time visiting and definitely will not be the last. From the beginning to end the experience was 5* plus. The food was delicious (dynamite box) the drinks were 😍. But the service was very warming and remarkable. The young female was so attentive and polite her smile was just as beautiful and she made the whole experience that extra special. Thank you we really appreciated it. The effort that you made, the time and also the attention to detail. See you soon

The rice is absolutely delectable, the Haneed dish, which I believe is lamb shoulder is "Get outta Here georgeous", the lamb literally falls off the bone. My friend who is vegetarian ate the pasta minimale, which again sounds so basic but is so tasty!. Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed the food. This is now our go to food spot.

Excellent fish options, Soomaal get the grilled flavour so well... if you’re hungry don’t worry portions exceed satisfying... always finish with the tea, it’s moorish and with good music you might be there a while... After lockdown of course, lucky they’re doing takeout!

Authentic and very different place for the UK and europe in general. I’ve only had Ethiopian once in my life before (in France) and this place didn’t disappoint. It was very authentic (you could see so many natives eating there), delicious and the portions were very generous, and the people very warm. The service however was very slow - I think they were understaffed and couldn’t handle how busy it gotten for a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommended tho if you want to try sth different! We go 2 mains to share and a vegetarian menu as salad and they came with tons of 🫓 their local bread. The lady showed us how to eat with the pita bread as spoons. The prices were super honest but they could work a bit on the interior (it was inside a kebab shop on the top floor) all I. All tho the food and the experience were delightful!
