FrenJabi in Cheshire East

We visited here back in March as we'd been drinking at the Picturedrome. Last minute decision as the weather was poor, but what a pleasant surprise. Amazingly, it being a Saturday evening, there was just one other couple dining. I am absolutely delighted to see the reviews on here because they are so well deserved. All I remember was that the food was delicious and the chef came out between courses to deliver some tasty nibbles. He described his creation with a real passion. I have the bill and we had the onion bhajis and then the Saag and confit de poulet for mains. A nice bottle of Shiraz was £25. This review has reminded me I need to make a reservation sooner rather than later.

This is the best Punjabi place I’ve ever been! Quality food, atmosphere and service. The host is one of the best you’ve ever seen, they will make you feel welcome and at home. Will one million percent be following this business around the country and wherever this adventure takes them. Can’t thank them enough for the food and environment, the best we have and will ever have and will continue to recommend this place to anyone I know. Thank you all for everything, The Marshall Family:)!!!!

We went for dinner with friends for an early Anniversary. Great food ,excellent service and well priced. Staff were brilliant and the little extras between courses helped make the evening special.

Amazing food..really tasty and something different and very special.Manager and chef very kindly accommodated our fussy requests.We had a great night. Would really recommend for a special night out.

What an amazing culinary experience in Macclesfield. A fusion of French and Punjabi food . So half the menu is each cuisine . And what a marriage it is . Also the most lovely husband and wife running it . I cannot recommend it highly enough - the food is amazing

Our first visit, and it definitely won't be our last. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, the staff - and of course the head chef who is lovely. Can't wait to come back!

We had a great meal at FrenJabi. I was a little sceptical at first as to whether French and Indian fusion would work. I was very pleasantly surprised however, all the dishes had a lovely balance of favours and each were presented beautifully. There were several nice touches, such as the amuse bouche before and in between courses. The service was also impeccable and the owners are incredibly welcome and friendly. Would highly recommend.

The food last night was absolutely amazing. The amuse bouche between courses was a lovely touch and the espresso martini (and chai-spresso martini for my friend) at the end was fab. The staff were attentive and nothing was too much for them. Will definitely be back!!

Amazing food, service and ambience. Was a really different and varied menu, the chef went out of his way to accommodate my dietary requirements. The amuse-bouche were a nice touch and we were also given complementary cocktails to celebrate the coronation. Will definitely be back.

We had a couple of deliveries from here during lockdown but have only just made it to the restaurant in person and what a treat it was. The food was delicious. The additional appetisers between courses an unexpected treat. Definitely somewhere we will be going back to and will recommend to as many people as possible

Great restaurant. Staff very attentive and helpful in this lovely family run business. Food was sublime. Well worth a visit if you want to taste the fusion of French and Punjabi cuisine. The Bakri Saag was gorgeous, a lot of "Indian" restaurants don't get the spinach bit right and on this dish it was perfect, spice level spot on, flavours balanced. Will definitely be going back with family and friends.

I booked a table based on a recommendation from a friend to celebrate my wife’s birthday. That turned out to be a great decision. The owner had opened the restaurant even though we were the only diners that evening (don’t let this put you off) it was a unique dining experience. Rav (owner) has a real passion for his art and this was reflected in the taste sensation of the meals. We will definitely be going back in the near future. And by the way the meal was great value given the quality of the food.

Lovely evening with friends here. Food was delicious with some nice culinary 'twists' or history to them. Rav and his staff very attentive and the free baby Guinness was an added bonus! Will definitely return.

What a great find, excellent experience at FrenJabi, attentive service, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely to meet the Chefs and hear the story behind the restaurant. Food was authentically French and Punjabi, and very good quality and well cooked. Definitely worth a checking out and we will certainly visit again. Thank you

I cannot fault this restaurant in anyway at all. The food was incredible, every course was piping hot and full of flavour. The presentation and attention to detail was second to none. The amuse bouche was a lovely touch and again the taste was impeccable. The hospitality from the chef and the very cute 'head chef' was faultless. Everything was excellent.

Great meal here - we were well looked after. When we visited their alcohol licence was not in operation for some reason so we took our own wine - the food was excellent and the service was friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and service. A great blend of French and a bit of spice. We ordered the chateaubriand. It was cooked perfection and served with green beans and dauphinoise potatoes. We’ll worth a visit.

Great food and service at this family run restaurant. Excellent concept of French and Punjabi food with a lovely personal touch of the owners coming out, explaining the dishes and cooking them to perfection. A perfect way to spend a Saturday night

Come here for great food, well presented by a passionate family team. The amuse bouches are an imaginative extra touch. We had a lovely evening. If you’ve not been yet, give it a try; you won’t be disappointed!

Been meaning to eat here for ages and we finally got around to it on NYE. Friendly service, and fantastic food. Between us we had a mushroom starter, prawn starter, fillet steak with Frenjabi sauce (which was amazing) and a chicken and spinach curry. If...

Amazing food and wonderful service Made to feel very welcome We we visited New years eve for a meal with family and without doubt we will be back

Wonderful food as ever . If you’ve not been, then go!!! Incredible inventive food , at a reasonable price. Well worth a visit.

Food was amazing, would definitely recommend!! We had a mixture of the starters and all were lovely. The amuse bouche’s were a lovely touch and my beef was excellent.

We went to Frenjabi on Friday evening for a family meal. The food was amazing and we were served by Rav, who runs this lovely restaurant with his wife, who prepares the food. They are both very passionate about what they do and deliver exceptional...

I cannot recommend this family-run restaurant highly enough - we visited last week for my fiance's birthday and from the moment we stepped through the door to the moment we left the whole evening was faultless. Despite it being a fairly quiet mid-week evening, the...

Good range of dishes, generous portions and well presented. Very well looked after by staff and reasonable prices, this restaurant is a cut above most. Enjoy.

What an amazing restaurant…we were greeted by the “boss”, little Tamanna, such a cutie. Rav was the perfect host, going above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble. Made our girls feel very special. The decor and atmosphere was fantastic. The food surpassed all expectations….home...

What a find! The food is simply superb. Novel idea to offer a choice of French and Punjabi cuisine on the same menu. We all went for the latter and every dish was delicious. Nice selection of wines complemented the food beautifully. The hosts were...

Excellent food and lovely host. Great to have such a lovely restaurant near my home. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back to sample the other items on the menu. V classy

Lovely family restaurant, tasty food with incredible depth to the flavours, will be visiting again. Drinks were unique and service fantastic.

We enjoyed a superb evening meal with my family - the whole experience from start to finish was truly memorable! Rav, the restaurant manager was the perfect host, advising us on flavour combinations with expert knowledge. The food, starters, mains and desserts were amazing… the...

Delicious meal in a convivial environment. Came out for a date night and were royally looked after by owner Rav. Perfect place for tasty, original food in Macclesfield.

After reading reviews from other diners we thought we’d give it a try. As vegetarians there was only one main option on the menu and only when I asked was I told about a mushroom en croute or a veg curry. I did look at...

This was our first visit to Frenjabi but won't be our last. The menu was imaginative and the food was amazing. We couldn't fault the service either.

I tried the steak this evening and had to write a review. Its was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and perfectly complimented with their signature sauce and masala drippings chips! Rav was the perfect host and would highly recommend a visit.

Had the most amazing meal here for my birthday a few days ago. Every course was a 10/10 especially the host's recommendation of the curried mince and chicken thigh that had so much flavour. Rav was a great host, really attentive yet never over-imposing and...

Another fabulous experience at Frenjabi; the service was attentive, and the food absolutely excellent. The steak is the best I’ve ever had. It’s definitely worth seeking out.

A very rare outing for us so we wanted somewhere special to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Very attentive staff, beautiful food and lovely atmosphere, especially the piano playing. We had the chateaubriand, absolutely delicious, highly recommend.

We had family over from NI to celebrate my mums 70th birthday. Our evening at Frenjabi was a night to remember. Great food, attentive, charming chef and highly entertaining!

The food itself was flavoursome, however the portion sizes were insanely small for an adult. The most awful thing to happen was when one of our party queried with the head waiter and the chef about portions, we had opposite excuses from both of them...

Wonderful meal! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal from start to finish. Very attentive and friendly service. Can’t wait to return on a busier night!

We booked a table for 5 on Christmas Eve and on arrival with my elderly parents found the restaurant closed. We were particularly disappointed as we weren’t contacted beforehand and no the owners mobile was not answered. So much for wanting to support local businesses...

We returned to Frenjabi to celebrate my 80th birthday and it could not have been better. it was a little disappointing on arrival to learn that Andrea the front of house was isolating but Rav was able to hold everything together perfectly. We began with...

A 15 year anniversary meal - we were spoilt with fine dining and great service not to mention live music ! My god the full package under one roof !! This place would make me want to do a drive every Sunday just for the...

Christmas with my friends and family. Warm welcome by Andreas. Food absolutely incredible. Lots of choices. We had steak cooked to perfection! Lamb agost, so tasty and full of spice and flavour! Turkey with all the trimmings. 3 courses for £28. Can't go wrong. The...

Had the absolute best time. The food was incredible. Had 3 courses. Absolute loved our visit. Would highly recommend!

The food was gorgeous especially the Punjabi sponge Andreas looked after us so well and played the piano for us.

Absolutely amazing flavours, portions were spot on, service was impeccable! 10 Yums! Delicious! Would def recommend

After a very friendly welcome, we were given delicious amuse bouches while we waited for our main meals, which were very good. Nicely decorated room.

Seven of us had a meal on Saturday night. Received with a very warm and inviting greeting by our waiter. Tables were too tight and close to each other so I had to breathe in and squeeze past another table to get to my seat...

We had a really great evening here - the food was really excellent, especially the perfectly cooked steak, with the added bonus of the amuse bouche. We felt really well looked after by Rav, who worked hard to ensure everyone had the best experience. The...

Super tasty food…great service…really good wine selection and such a lovely family business…thanks for a wonderful evening x

We had a fantastic meal here at this lovely french-Indian restaurant while visiting Macclesfield for the October Festival. Frenjabi is such a unique concept and the food is delicious! One side of the menu is French inspired and the other Indian. There’s a great selection...

We loved our meal here. We were slightly dubious about the French/Asian concept but it works well. The amuse bouche are a super touch and the lobster curry was delicious. The ambience is very pleasant, the staff attentive and we’ll definitely be back, it’s our...

First time back this year, and really impressed. Freshly cooked chicken kebab starter and perfect fillet steaks. Good service from friendly staff and interesting amuse bouches.

Absolute quality! Andrea is simply the most fantastic of hosts and the food was truly stunning! What a great experience!!!

Well where do I start. Having had a booking at another restaurant who had to cancel last minute, I was thrown into panic as it was my partners birthday and our first night out as new parents, so had arranged childcare and now had nowhere...

Good food and very Friendly service. Starters and deserts excellent, mains (fillet and duck) a little plain. Would of liked more of the Punjabi influence and certainly more sauce. If anything, an overly generous amount of meat, but lacking the "wow". £35 for a £6.99...

An inspired menu, perfectly cooked and presented! Wonderful staff and an excellent setting. Every component of each dish was perfect, and the front of house staff were entertaining and attentive all the way through. Fine dining with none of the stuffiness. Macclesfield best resteraunt by...

First time dining at FrenJabi, and highly recommended. The restaurant staff were attentive, professional and warm. As soon as we walked in, they knew our name and made us feel very welcome. I loved the pink velvet accents and the seating was really comfortable (nothing...

The Indian food was excellent, the starters and main were tasty, nicely spiced and not oily. Unfortunately the French main was extremely poor - the lamb was full of grissle and tasted like it was an old roast dinner that had been warmed up in...

Had a fab early Friday night dinner. Food was fabulous and service was excellent. Very attentive service. Amuse bouches were lovely. Complimentary glass of bubbles for our anniversary. Would highly recommend. Jon and Karen.

I visited Frenjabi recently with a friend who is a regular and had told me how good it was...she wasn't wrong! The food is "fusion", so you're getting a twist on many familiar recipes. There is quite a lot for pescatarians and veggies too. It's...

How great to visit Frenjabi for the first time after Covid! We had amazing night out for my birthday. Great service, entertainment and the food was perfect. Also a surprise birthday treat was provided! I would also thoroughly recommend treating yourself to the cocktails- espresso...

One of the best overall dining experiences I've had and definitely the best in Macclesfield so far. A warm welcome from the talented and friendly manager/cocktail creator/entertainer. Then one of the best steak dinners out I've ever had, cooked by Rav the chef, who came...

We went to the Frenjabi on the 4th September, it was our first visit. The new owners have really improved the restaurant it looks clean and fresh. Front of house is very welcoming and happy to tell you the best sellers. The menu is simple...

Wow, chateaubriand steak 🥩 🤩pure delight, loved the chef bringing it out and cutting at the table, melted in the mouth. Beef dripping chips and potato accompaniments were delicious, vegetables packed with flavour! Fantastic food, great atmosthphere and ambience, relaxing laid back fine dining experience....

We had an amazing night thanks to Rav. Amazing food and amazing service couldnt have been more pleased, I would highly recommend FrenJabi to couples, families and anyone that enjoys good food. Will definitely be coming back!

had the best chateau briand ever last saturday night. the whole experience at FrenJabi was a joy, with entertain an added bonus. will definitely be returning soon.

What a lovely evening! We had great takeaways over lockdown but this was our first time in the restaurant. We chose the French side of the menu. Chilli garlic Prawns, followed by sirloin steak. It was beautiful. The prawns were really fresh, cooked just right...

I enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal at FrenJabi last night with my mum and my brother. The food was really nice and freshly cooked and all the staff were friendly as well. We received complementary Prosecco and Tequila because it was chef/owner Rav Khangura’s...

Fren Jabi is a fantastic restaurant for both the excellent food and the warm , friendly atmosphere it provides. We had a great time and enjoyed the great food and entertainment provided by the exceptionally talented Andrea from Italy who sings and plays the keyboard...

Our first visit to FrenJabi, but definitely not our last. Food (including the unexpected amuses bouche) was superb and service impeccable. Andreas and Rav were very welcoming and friendly, and Andreas serenaded us (in a very non-intrusive way) with his wonderful voice, piano and violin...

First time visit to Frenjabi did not disappoint. From the unique House amuse bouche, mini escargots and the sublime Châteaubriand the food was excellent and the service and musical ambiance made for a very enjoyable afternoon eating experience.

Second visit, because I wanted to try more of the menu. meal, classic French cooking done with pride and skill, upmarket Punjabi food, it’s a winning combination. It’s in the top tier of Macclesfield restaurants IMO.

A trip to Frenjabi never disappoints, great service, mouth watering food and wines to compliment each dish.

Taste of Punjabi. Excellent food Excellent entertainment Excellent ambience Great to be able to start visiting again regularly

Having missed the planned Divali celebrations (lockdown!!!) Rav celebrated the end of the lockdown with a special Tastes of the Punjab - absolutely delicious: welcomed with a glass of mango lassi, followed by pani puri, then a choice of chicken wings or Amritsari fish, then...

Dinner here on a Saturday night, food was divine, fairly priced, fresh and hot to the table, everyone was so friendly, they went above and beyond for us. They'll make your night what you want it to be, a very personal service. Chef and manager...

One of the few positives of COVID-19 has been to get to know our surroundings, local businesses and eateries. We now have two restaurants we have never visited but have enjoyed fantastic takeaway/delivery food from and look forward to happier times when we can visit....

Order a delivered meal, 8.30 to 9.00, 9.35 and still waiting. Tried to contact restaurant but no response. New years eve, birthday and hungry, looks like beans on toast, what a treat.

We had the best time this evening at Frenjabi. Very warm atmosphere and exciting entertainment from Andrea! Food amazing, as always! Would recommend Frenjabi!!

Just had a fabulous time at Frenjabi. We were originally booked in for Boxing Day but due to the announcement that we're going into tier 3 we went tonight instead. Everything was perfect, the atmosphere was lovely, the food was gorgeous and the entertainment (that...

We celebrated our birthday evening dining at Frenjabi. Rav and his staff went the extra mile to ensure we had a wonderful meal. As we are all vegetarian, he gave us many options to choose from that weren't on the menu in advance so we...

This was a special event for Frenjabi as the second lock-down meant they were unable to celebrate Divali as they had planned to do and instead put on a special Taste of India that was truly amazing: an amuse guele of xxx (puff balls stuffed...

It was a nice atmosphere, good service and tasty food. We went for a quiet dinner for two. Had the prawns and calamari for starters & the curry of the day and steak for mains. Shared the berries merengue for dessert. Food had a nice...

In view of the increasing restrictions we grabbed the chance to visit Frenjabi again and it was as good as ever. The restaurant was completely Covid safe with distanced tables and all the pleasant and conscientious staff wearing masks with sanitiser at the entrance. Before...

This was my second visit to Frenjabi, and it was a great experience! The food (kebabs, and then curry) were really excellent. Fresh, hot and very tasty. High quality. The service was excellent, with very attentive staff, but not overbearing. The amuse bouche was a...

Visited here on a quiet Friday evening, everything was perfect. Delicious food (I had the king prawn & scallop starter, steak for main with tasty masala chips), very good house wine, impeccable but not intrusive service, and the bonus of some live violin playing. I...

We enjoyed the sunday lunch menu , my husband is vegan but great dishes for him too. I had the Horseradish roast beef and it was delicious and homemade sticky toffee pudding too. The kids had smaller portions of the main menu and really enjoyed...

Exceptional meal and service, from the cocktails and the meal. Best I have had in Macclesfield for a long time. Long may it continue - thanks guys 👍

Our first visit to Frenjabi. I can’t say I was blown away the food was OK there was nothing to complain about but it wasn’t fantastic. We took advantage of the Eat Out scheme I would have have disappointed if I’d had to pay full...

Great evening as spoilt guests of this wonderful restaurant. We pretty well sampled the menu between the six of us and it was all delicious. Highlights were the prawn starter and the lamb and vegan curries. We felt really well looked after - not in...

Sunday Roast Lamb at Frenjabi this evening. Marks out of 10. Food 10 Service 10 Friendliness 10 Covid safety 10 Violinist 11 Overall experience 10+ I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. You will not be disappointed. If he were alive today I’m sure...

Went during the half price deal. No amuse bouche offered, though some tables received one. My starter was prawns and scallops. No added flavours or spices and a pile of rocket on the side with no dressing. Does the chef not understand that people paying...

After living abroad when Frenjabi opened, I had been looking forward to visiting this fusion restaurant since I got back to Macclesfield. It took a bit longer than anticipated with the pandemic, but I managed to get a table last night. The welcome on arrival...

We called in for our date night on Thursday, although it wasn't too busy, we had the best night of food and music. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by Andrea, he was awesome, smiley and very engaging making us feel welcome....

Lots of great reviews on Tripadviser led me to Frenjabi. Really sorry but my experience was awful. Overall 2 hours to get two courses, with staff who walked past without offering menus, offering cutlery or topping up water glasses (when drinks were finally offered). Starter...

On the basis of tripadvisor reviews I was expecting great things of this relatively new arrival to the Macclesfield restaurant scene - French/Punjabi fusion dishes - so thought we'd give it a try. I know things will be different post-lockdown, so we were making allowances...

Had the best birthday dinner at Frenjabi. Amazing steaks, ❤️ also had the lovely Andrea play the violin for me & the boss man Rav specially deliver my dessert. Feeling the love guys, thank you so much. 🎂🥳
