Camel One in Manchester

Once tried their food. The food was extra spicy

They tried to make fool of me changing the price of kebab. Moreover, kebab was quite dry and cold.

The lady serving the food charged me £4.95 for a pickle tray which I did NOT ORDER. The food was decent but very OVERPRICED A group of friends who visited this restaurant a few days before were charged for a dish which they did NOT ORDER! Always look at the receipt before paying !! Won’t be returning

Ordered a red donner kebab and found multiple maggots inside the kebab. This seriously needs looking into. This place needs to be closed down immediately for the health and safety of the public.

I entered this place for the first time, and bought lamb curry and pilau rice. The rice was completely gone bad! Couldn't even keep the lid open because of how bad it was smelling. I called them to request a refund but not answer yet. The lamb was plain.. Not going back for sure!

One of the best place for late night option and great food great staff.My favourite is lamb karahi on the bone.

Not only is the food here incredible, but the service is also exceptional thanks to Tash. He was friendly, attentive, and quick, making our dining experience perfect. The variety of dishes offered ensures that there's something for everyone. A definite favorite!

Amazing customer service! Great food and hospitality!

Ordered from this place for the first time and was blown away by the quality and flavor of the food. Tash, made the experience even better with his friendly and attentive service. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Will definitely order again!

We've ordered from here multiple times, and it never disappoints. The menu has a great selection, and everything we've tried has been top-notch. Tash's reliable and fast service adds to the great experience. A+ for consistency and taste!!

I've tried many takeaways, but this one stands out. The dishes are consistently delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors and spices. Tash, our waiter, was prompt and ensured the food arrived hot and well-packaged. Definitely the best in town!

Ordered Aloo Methi but it just seemed to be a few potatoes, lots of oil and thousands of peas. Didn't see any Methi. What a waste of money.

Disguting disgusting nothing but disgusting I would never eat from her or recommend this place food was disgusting service was terrible of anyone wants to throw their money away then go to this place otherwise don't bother with this place

This place was sooo bad. We thought the food would be nice as the decor was really lovely but this is why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. As soon as we walked in there It gave off bad vibes , the staff was very unwelcoming and made us feel out of place. We still decided to give the food a try and first we ordered mango lassis. They got it from the fridge so we don’t know how long it had been there but it was very lumpy and flavourless so I had to keep stirring whilst all the staff was staring at me. We ordered a smash beef burger meal which was atrocious and by the end of the meal we felt like we wanted to vomit , we couldn’t even finish it. Overall the experience here was disgusting, 0/10 would not recommend

Go to kebab shop in Manchester. Dine in and all fresh food including home made sauces. Range of starters & curries look good and are popular, but I haven’t tried personally. Food and service can vary depending on what staff members are on in daytime. Naan breads are as light as a feather and lamb tikka / donner mix was excellent on this visit. Good value for money too. Would recommend.

The red donner is quite nice, but the chilli sauce is bad. They literally just mix chilli powder with water and call it sauce

Went for ther Red donner and the guys tried to give us old stesmed donner from the pot not sure how long it was there for when i said give us fresh cut one his face dropped anyway when it turned up ir was dry and bland best thing i ate was the cucumber anyway avoid

I go there staff no good and specially they cheat their customers I will suggest everyone to take proper recipt and invoice from them because otherwise they will charge you more I face this be careful

Fantastic food especially tawa!

Great food and service was really good

I had a portion of samosas to start and had chilli sauce and mint yoghurt on them. The chilli sauce was so salty I could hardly eat it. I scraped off my samosas and managed to salvage them. The samosas were quite nice apart from the edges of the pastry that were almost too tough to chew. I had mixed seekh and chicken tikka kebab on naan. The seekh was very dry and over cooked. The chicken was nice though. I avoided the chilli sauce having had it on my samosas. The kebab was served on a plastic naan tray, with no plate, so as I ate it the sauces dripped straight through on to the table which was pretty inconvenient. Years ago this was my go-to kebab stop in Rusholme. I'll try somewhere else next time.

This place is absolutely disgusting. Food was AWFUL!! Got a mixed Doner & Chicken seekh on Naan. The Doner meat was hard & chewy like they gave me last nights leftovers out of the Pot🤮. Salad was poor. All looked the same colour. The nicest thing was the Yoghurt sauce. Stay away if it’s nice Food you are after!! Shocking

Not recommended to anyone, lack of taste and service, high priced

Bad food waste of money, gave old chicken in shawarma.

If you want to get ripped off this is the place to be! I had ordered one Camel one platter, which was decent and two Aryans, which are £1 on the menu. On going to pay, we had been told we had been served the £3.50 "mango lassi glass" which was supermarket milk poured into a plastic milkshake cup. Even though he acknowledged we ordered Aryan the arrogant bozo insisted we pay - having been Ramadan, close to suhr time and having travelled 5 hours, I hadn't the energy to argue. The second kitchen at the back looks like a throwback to a WW2 field hospital.

I really like the grilled food option here. Seriously can anyone name a better place for Sheek Kebab on Naan on the Curry Mile in Rusholme other than Camel One?

Tasty food. Real taste like Lahori style, or Mian g Hasanabdal. I found this taste after 7 years. No sweet sauce in Karahi. Every thing ordered found tasty. Nice addition in my future list.

Tawa for 2 was spot on, tasty food👏. Just recommend Diners to bring their own drinks, we had paid £5.40 for a glass bottle of Irn Bru.

The food was really very awful..we ordered mixed platter and one biryani the food was fully rotten and I got stomach ache all night.i don't recommend this place anymore

Forgot the rice. Unacceptable Food was no good too. Last time I.will be ordering now after repeated disappointment.

Fresh foods at reasonable prices, mutton karahi love it kind staff

I had forgotten how good a kebab can be when made well, excellent food.

Basic takeaway but with good food choices. Nice tea's.

Awful food. Lamb karahi was watered down and had zero flavour. Very disappointing this time

Wow. 10 out of 10. Very authentic food. And delicious.

Red Donnar is ok, only if fresh, as a lot of the time it has been sitting there a while and is cold. You have to tell the staff to take it off fresh, as they are very unprofessional & lazy.

Okay. But not as good as it was. Changed ownership.

I used to love this place as a student, took my son last night for a late night snack. Salt. Not sure why anything on a lamb shish needs salt but the entire kebab just tasted of hideous salt. Absolutely disgusting.

After looking around the curry mile came across this place , very nice 10/10

Got lamb chops karhai , onion rice & naan . Naan was good , rice was awful and the lamb chops very very chewy . The sauce itself had 1/2 inch of oil on top literally ..

Unhappy chips were cold and soggy salad was clearly bad and smelled!...chicken was cold and firm First and last time not worth what I paid 😭

Got the camel one special, asked if it come with donner he said yes. It doesn't, but when it arrived he did give me some separate. Seek kebab was decent, chicken tikka ok, the lamb tikka was awful! Went about 4pm, surely must be from the night before as it tasted off. The chilli sauce tasted very strange too. Normally a decent place to go.

Good portion and average quality But cost to quantity ratio is very good

Camel one in rusholme is an awful restaurant....I had ordered a mixed tandoori or grill platter, it was yuck ! With too little quantity and zero quality along with stale salad and yucky chips !!!! Wasted money !!!!

To be honest the food wasn't all that. The sauce felt it was off

Fantastic mouthwatering chana Dhaal and chinken kaaraai

Thought the curry here was seriously tasty. Never underestimate the basic looking restaurants

Ordered bone chicken curry and got without bone. And restaurant didn't change

Decent tandoori meats and naan, not so good samosas. OK for a quick bite.

Went to Camel after a very long time. The samosas came out cold and had to warmed up! Then the Lamb Karahi was lacking lamb. I can understand times are hard but if you order a Lamb Karahi you expect a decent amount of Lamb! A bit disappointed to say the least!

Decent food here, I would definitely eat from here again

I frequently order from Camel One. The curries are good.

The inside is ghetto but is the opposite of the food which is packed with punches of taste. This takeaway would put many kebab shops on Wimmy and Stockport Road to shame. However I have to say the service and the workers attitude is atrocious. The cashier tried to cheat me out of a few quid. And the others were vaping and smoking in the kitchen near food! The food is overpriced and the portions are small. I would recommend you to go to the vast variety of other kebab shops in the Curry Mile. Hopefully the workers incompetence can be improved

Food is ok but not great. Not served hot and the sauces are not that good compared to other places.

The food that i bought was ok but not too good. The guy had a rude sign posted for customers which i didn't like and it kind of reflected the owner's attitude as well. He later was trying to cheat me on the bill by saying something and then giving the bill with an added amount. On asking for explanation, he returned the balance. There are other much better restaurants in this area.

The curry was liking every where in the delivery bag. I did not receive the order. I sent it back.

The taste was quite distinct than what I had in the past from other restaurants but it was still okay. Samosa was alright. But the huge let down was the smell from the food. There was a smell of fresh chicken from chicken in biryani and curry had sour or tangy smell. Moreover the packaging was bad too. The curry sauce was spilled all over the bag.

Dishonest workers Ordered a MIXED shashlick to takeaway, when I got home it was a chicken curry. Too late to return as we came from Oldham. Rang up the next day as we got home pretty late, the guy on the phone said to come down and he will give us the correct order to compensate. Went down the next day and the man behind the counter refused to acknowledge his mistake. Told him we came from Oldham as the man on the phone told us to. The man at the counter started arguing and refused to provide the order. Waste of journey, no morals, paid more for a mix shashlick, no refund or food provided. So disgusted by them.

Used to come here as a student all the time, 20 years ago! We were in the area and came back for a kebab recently. Loved it. Good quality meat, tasty and not too greasy. We decided to sit in and eat it and it was pleasant enough.

Food was nice but missing items, forgot the rice

Very good 👍 and provides delicious food which is fully effordable.

ABSOLUTELY ROTTEN! Small portions, uncooked,and bits of bone in the kebab meat all went straight in the bin (horse meat)

Food was awful in quality and taste, and portion sizes were really small. Person in charge has a very arrogant and condescending attitude, and also rude to staff in front of customers. Curry advertised for £11 on digital signage on window (still there and been on for a long time). We pointed to the sign and ordered, after finishing he charged us more on the bill. When questioned about the bill, he very condescendingly said the sign is old and prices have changed (didn’t tell us this when ordering and when we pointed to signage when ordering). We informed him that’s false advertising, he didn’t care! Absolute thief! Didn’t offer refund, and didn’t care when we mentioned why he hasn’t turned the sign off or changed it. Never want to go back and wouldn’t recommend. Would give lower than one star if I could. (I want to mention this used to be an okay restaurant a few years ago but has gone really downhill since the last time we visited a very long time.)

Mixed grill was nice and a big portion, a little bit heavy on the spices

I'm sorry to say that we didn't have a nice eating experience here. Three of us ate burnt kebabs. I really felt like complaining but was in a hurry to leave. The naans were delicious but the chicken and lamb shish were not just singed but actually burnt. From a kebab seller you would expect much better. BTW, I used to frequent this restaurant over 28 years ago as a student at MU, so was reminiscing about this kebab shop. I hope it was a one-off.

My first visit here was 5 years ago and had some really great experiences - fresh food and great service. Since returning however, the food is dry and really bad quality, the guy that runs it is always too busy on his phone and provides really bad service. Won’t be returning again.

Best dinner kebab and traditional curries.

Awesome Donner Kebab. Generous portion and friendly staff.

Regular customer here! Fresh food everytime I visit, great customer service & can always rely on a decent meal when I’m here. I’m a big eater and their portions are just perfect!

It was ok nice food and friendly staff

Only gets 2 stars because of it opening late and being clean. Donner was cold, portions were small but salad was good and fries were fresh. Ok if nothing else is open near by. But if your going during the day i wouldn't recommend it.

Brilliant top quality food and service

Absolutely awful oily tasteless food. Curry was full of oil, lamb was tough and lettuce was brown. What a waste of money and will never be visiting again!

potion sizes were small. Food was 6/10

A bit expensive than the rest of take aways on the road. Nothing special..!!

Camel One is one of those places that has been a Wilmslow Rd staple for a long time. We have eaten many times here and usually you get a good quality curry. More recently, last couple of times even though the food has still been good the service has declined. In particular the attitude of the staff is extremely sexist. Last time I visited, there were 2 wait staff that were doing something and didn't acknowledge me, I was first in line when 2 men walked in. Both male waiters asked each of the men for their order whilst totally ignoring me even though I was there first. A third waiter realised what they had done and sheepishly asked for my order. On this visit, I went in with my husband and even though I was closest to the guy on the till and was about to order, they totally ignored me once again and asked my husband what he wanted to order. We decided to go for a chicken curry with roti and the samosas on display looked delicious so we decided to opt for a meat and a veg samosa too - all to take home. When we got home the curry was absolutely delicious - couldn't fault it at all and it was extremely tasty. The samosas however were not great. They didn't look anywhere as nice as the shop either. It was clear that they had picked out some that didn't look anywhere as near as appetising as the shop. The summary is that the food is good but they need to get better at seeing their female customers and not just the men. For how they made me feel as a customer I can only give them 2 stars. Had it been based on the food (curry only) it would have been a 4.

I used to go in years ago still as nice as it was good food

Order a large sheek kabab got a small one ordered 2 diet coke didn't get them. Contacted the shop the said they would bring them didn't turn up.

Went with family for a nice quick kebab dinner. The owner or main worker was so rude to his own staff, shouting at his staff infront of customers. All I could hear is his rude arrogant voice during the meal. Food was served quick and the chicken and lamb tikka were BURNT TO A CRISP. Black bitter bits in every mouthful of meat. My family and I had to leave it there and then. Walked out and ended up grabbing a bite elsewhere. Prices are high for what you get. I wont be going there again even if someone offered to pay for me. Nothing was nice beside a can of coke which was chilled. Awful experience.

Good food. Curries taste like authentic ones. Half kg karahi is not made with half kg of meat,its just a half kg portion. naan breads very nicely done, not too thick like some places do.overall it's alright

Great food (although expensive) good staff

The only place to be in Manchester camel one camel one camel one from the start to finish finesse customer service 10/10food 110/10 hands down the only place to beee check it out or be left outt..

Visited today , charged £7.90 for a donner mix kebab , barely any salad or sauce and the donner was cold. Poor poor quality from an iconic place to eat. Never again ! For that price I can get a curry and Nan bread.

I have been going to Camel One for the last 25 years, I won’t be going again. The food was cold, the portion sizes have drastically reduced, yet the prices have increased. Though don’t mind paying more if the standard was the same as I had experienced previously. They are skimping on the salad and the sauces, which meant trying to swallow dry naan and kebab., which wasn’t very nice.

kebab was served on bone dry flatbread, no sauce no veg, ordered bbq sauce, did not come some salad was sent but no sauce, the curry was inedible, it came in a 500ml portion pot, was good and hot but 48ml was some sort of red greasy oil the rest ruined by this amount of grease, another wasted meal

Great tasting curry the right amount of spice 10/10

Lovely curry got free dips and salad great delivery service

Veey nice food but absolutely burn your mouth out spicy hot lol

Went during lockdown and the staff didn't understand social distancing also they do not wear any masks either. It was really hot their AC didn't work. We requested a fan which they were using and they refused. Please don't go there

Great food. Delivery guys was very polite.

Popped in during lockdown for a kebab as no other places open on Curry Mile. Not disappointed. Great food, friendly staff. Thanks

I was very disappointed as I read online that it was the best kebabs in Manchester. Obviously, that's all down to speculation and the writer must have had no taste buds. I've tasted many kebabs and it's safe to say that this is near the bottom.

Four of use called in for a kebab while working, very helpful staff member, very clean and tidy, good service, will definitely use again, all of us were impressed with our food.

Food not good taste really bad.

Few minutes late but the delivery guy was very kind and friendly.

Amazing kebab and what great staff this please is so welcome and so friendly, a fridge full of meats fresh and ready to be cooked to your requirements

Fantastic service, environment, atmosphere ans food -unspeakably good food!! Is recommend this place to anyone.

best kebeb and red donner and everything good and cheap prices but staff very friendly and lamb balti.

The staff with no manner. I ordered Donner kebab with chips the Donner was thinner then crisp it was so dry I had leave by paying food I did not eat. I tell everyone don't go this place.

Fui con mi familia en un grupo de seis. Los entrantes de samosas y pollo pakora fueron recalentados y duros y secos, que volvimos. El pollo saag estaba nadando en aceite y todo saag pero no pollo.El servicio es deficiente y el trabajador es demasiado hablador e intrusivo.Todavía nos cobraron por la comida devuelta que no habíamos comido! ¡Desagradable!¡CUIDADO! ¡EVITARLO!
