Jandol Baklava in Manchester

Lived in London most my life and found it difficult to find a good sharwama place in Manchester. This one so far is my favourite but not at the level of Helen’s in central London

What a lovely discovery!! A gem of a place. The food was delicious and plentiful with a vice selection for both myself (carnivore) and my wife (vegan). We had a wonderful, warm welcome and the service was excellent. Finished with the best Arabic coffee I’ve ever had and, as we were paying, our host slipped us a sample of baklava each. We will DEFINITELY be back.

Great atmosphere! Welcoming and friendly staff! Amazing foods!

Great food across the board. No nonsense service. BE AWARE MENU PRICES DO NOT REFLECT SERVICE CHARGE OF 10% WHICH IS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO YOUR BILL AT THE END

amazing food great value for money

Went there for lunch and tried starters . The owner was very nice and helpful but the food was very ordinary . They also charged a dine-in charge which I have not seen before . I recommend curry mile more .

Food was absolutely beautiful and the staff were kind and friendly ❤️

Ordered a takeaway. We had stuffed vine leaves, cheese fatayer, meat kibbeh, a falafel wrap and a lamb shawarma wrap. Ordered mango cake and Black Forest cake for dessert, restaurant phoned shortly after we ordered to say they didn't have these and offered baklava or honey cake instead. This was absolutely fine, I'm not bothered that they didn't have the cakes because they dealt with it really well and the woman who called was really friendly. The food was all delicious. It wasn't cheap but it wasn't expensive either and considering the brilliant quality of the food it was very good value for money. We will definitely order or visit the restaurant again.

This place is so underrated. Went on a Sunday and it was empty but the food was amazing and so reasonably priced.

Visited with a friend who wanted to try some Lebanese food. The decorations and atmosphere in the place is good but the place is a bit expensive for what it is. On top of prices, they charge service charges where the service is not professionally dressed or anything. I ordered the chargrilled sausage as a starter and Kofta Kebab wrap as the main. The taste was similar to what you can find in any other middle eastern restaurant. I paid £18 for both of these, which, I believe, is a bit too excessive. I think smaller takeaways will be more authentic and better value for money.

Very nice restaurant, really good food!

Quirky, friendly, cheap, delicious food. Would recommend if you’re in Levenshulme

Friendly and engaging service. Lovely mix of food and flavours. Excellent wine, tea and coffee. Thank you

Great menu with a mix of veg and meat options. We shared a load of the hot and cold starters as a main meal and were absolutely stuffed- we definitely ordered too much. The baklava is great too we’ve picked this up in the shop part of the restaurant many times.

Lovely lively atmosphere, friendly service, great food. Hate added on service charge

Great range of vegan options and lovely staff.

Beautiful food, the cakes and Baklava look amazing, will definitely visit again

I love this place. The staff are so lovely. My friend and I love to go for a meal then take home some sweet treats (cannolis are my favourite). The food is always very fresh and tasty. The restaurant itself is very clean and pretty.

The baclava are excellent. We travelled 20 miles to get some for Christmas gifts. Freshly made and beautifully wrapped. We have never found a better supplier.

What a local gem. Sensational food and lovely people.

Ordered twice on Ubereats and the restaurant cancelled both times? No reason given.. don't know how to give a lower rating

The best baklava ever tried. Very balanced ingredients and right amount of sugar

Always love it here Top Lebanese food delicious and plentiful Fabulous cakes Cannoli and baklava along with Turkish delight for afters Always have a great time here for birthdays or lunches with friends

Nice food but the fatayer pastry was raw unfortunately.

Really good food and lovely place. The Beirut cocktail was fabulous 😍

The boss is the rudest honestly if I could give them less than one star I would The food is cold and is not fresh at all

Such beautiful, fresh delicious food. Just ordered a takeaway. Absolutely perfect. Fast delivery and very reasonably priced. Delicious!

Best restaurant in Levenshulme Friendly staff, delicious menu, I just can’t fault it! Shout out to Lamb Fatteh, next level saucy juiciness. Love you Jandol.

Absolutely loved the chicken soup and the desserts

Thank you for helping my partner making my birthday meal special.

Incredible mezze and kebab. And the mint lemonade is so tasty

great food and friendly service

Absolute scammers. Charged me extra for no reason

Really nice wrap, would definitely come again.

Great food at really good prices

Nice casual meal with a friend. Tasty honest food. Chicken was really good, lebanese hummus too, fresh sausages with hint of lemon. Has a bit of a cafeteria feel with the chef banging the ringer when a meal is ready to be served and loud radio music past 9pm.

Delicious, nice vegan stuff too 👌

Came here for the first time last night and the food was delicious. Had the grilled halloumi starter and chicken sharwarma main which was absolutely yummy! Lovely and clean inside the restaurant too! I must come back and try the pastries:-)

The most authentic and delicious tasting Lebanese food in this city.

Lovely food for all the family. Very well taken care of. Amazing staff.

Went here tonight for a lovely little payday treat, the food was lovely and fresh! The cucumber yoghurt salad was amazing, meats and rice were delicious. Everything was tasty and fresh, restaurant is very cute and clean, nice decor and the staff are lovely friendly. Highly rated!!

We have eaten at Jandol several times, we keep coming back for more! The food tastes fresh and delicious, the menu is extensive and I haven't had a bad dish yet. There are loads of great vegetarian options too. We have always found the service friendly and welcoming. My only other feedback is that sometimes the music is a bit too loud.

we couldn't aqquire a reservation the lady refused to give me one and told me she hoped i got cancer of the eyeball

Incredible food and lovely staff. Such an exciting range of baklava and Turkish delight too! We went on a Monday night so we were one of only two groups there but seen it is busier on other evenings and weekends!

the best best best restaurant in all of manchester for middle eastern food!!i absolutely loved it i ordered the shawarma wrap with chicken and loved it!i was served by tanya the manager and she was lovely!

Fantastic intimate atmosphere and really friendly service. Hot fresh food, 😋 definitely a hidden gem

Service was slow and food was average. Expected it to be better but was just average. Drinks were rather poor.

Absolutely amazing wouldn't go anywhere else

I wouldn't be discouraged from going, the food looked good and the atmosphere was nice. It's just that I didn't get my food after 90 mins of waiting and had to leave. Took around 30 mins just to get hold of a waiter to pay, and there wasn't really an apology for the mistake. I didn't want to kick up a fuss as I was hungry and needed to catch the train. It was definitely an honest mistake and an unfortunate experience, but the staff need to be a little more attentive

Great little cafe and restaurant. I try to stop by here at least once a week for coffee and baklawa. Very friendly staff and good herbal tea choices. I will try the food one day!

Amazing restaurant. Absolutely love the ambience and the food is near perfect. Authentic Arab food and flavors unlike the restaurants around this place. Thank God this place exists.

Beautiful food and lovely staff. We went for lunch on a weekday and it was very chilled and peaceful.

Always had lovely foods and friendly service when been here. Defiantly recommend

Wasn’t what i expected. I ordered a lamb kebab with chips. I left special instructions for it to be well done and not red.I also rang and asked if I could have only onions but was told “the salad is already made up”. When it arrived the naan came as one half and two quarters? All the meat was red inside too. I won’t be ordering from here again as I haven’t got what I ordered and paid £17 for, it’s gone in the bin. Was hoping I could add photos to prove but, there is no option for this?

Awesome place amongst all the disgusting fried chicken shops. Great food , shout out to the lovely young woman waitress she is a great asset. Use it or we are going to lose it. Amazing decour and gifts available too. Great value.

Delicious food - went for dinner and ended up going back for lunch the next day. All was good, the baklava particularly delicious

A brilliant place, great food and even better service. We had the vegetarian options and they were all so flavourful - one of the highlights of my visit to Levy. Get the mezze platter and try as many dishes as you can 😊

Try the areyas and sheesh tawook....nice ambiance..good food

Went for coffee and cake. Service brilliant, as usual. Don't understand why the place hasn't become more popular- great selection of bakery products with many varieties of baklava and fantastic and reasonably priced Lebanese food. Good portions too!

Such a bizarre experience. Called up and made a takeaway order to which I was told it would be 20 minutes. I turned up and waited at the counter to collect. There was a lady in the kitchen that completely ignored me. Sat down for a further 10 minutes which was half an hour at this point. No food being cooked the whole time and pots being washed. One of the workers just walking past me. I have never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant. This is food I could make at home but it's nice to have a bit of a treat. Walked out in the end and I haven't even had a phone call. So either I have died and turned into a ghost or they are just rude. Either way I won't be returning. I took what a thought, my non existent self to another takeaway on Manchester Road and had the opposite experience.

One of my favourite places to eat in Manchester, I have been going here for years and the food is great, the desserts are my favourite. It is a hidden gem and worth a visit. 10/10

Beautiful food. Come for the kebabs, stay for the baklava

Super delicious food and amazing service! We were served by Irina who was so friendly and welcoming, will be coming back for sure. I highly recommend the baklava, it is some of the best I've ever had :-)

Had a lovely lunch here with friends. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service and lots of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from. Highly recommend.

Nice place to shop syrian sweets

The most awful shawerma I’ve had in my life the chicken shawerma was mixed with bones I really don’t know how the food is served in this way!! Also I received my meal without a spoon or a fork! I threw the food away as I couldn’t even eat any extra bite!! I just paid money for something that doesn’t deserve a single penny Very disappointed! I doubt that this is a Lebanese restaurant as it is not even close to it

Ordered the halloumi and falafel wrap and a humous for lunch, so fresh and tasty with great portion sizes

What a lovely place & nicest baklava ever

Little gem of a place. Excellent food first time in a Lebanese Restaurant. Excellent choices. Staff couldn't do enough. Plenty of room inside. Really enjoyed it.

Best baklava ever. I always go there

Went in as most coffee shops seemed to be closed in Levenshulme on a Monday?! What a great suprise! Lovely welcoming staff. Baklava and canoli's were beautiful as well. I'll definitely be going back!

fabulous selection of authentic dishes for you to try something quite different. Recommended

It's always a joy to eat at Jandol. Good food, good service, good times

Not the greatest photo. It was all amazing and I can't say anything negative about the experience. Truly perfect from service, to food, to drinks! I'm very impressed and this place has highest standards.

We went to @jandolbaklavapastries to enjoy ourselves some Lebanese food cos who doesn’t like this! And we walked away having enjoyed the food and the most memorable was the Honey Cake - can we just say, if you haven’t tried this, you need to go! Even after a full meal, we both happily inhaled this…layers of sponge covered in cream with a sweet honey touch - not too sweet and completely perfect Not forgetting the Baklava too with 20 years of perfection by this family-run restaurant - a wide variety and there’s one which had a cinnamon kick that we went mmmmmm too. We don’t usually like cinnamon flavoured items but we’ll happily take this again On the savoury side, the Mix Mezza was a winner for us - a little bit of everything and tasty all round

Amazing food,healthy and filling.

Tried this place again for the first time in a year or two. I'd forgotten how tasty and fresh the food was. It was great. I'll be back.

Lovely food and staff and very reasonable too.

Okay, a good sitting place with good variety of sweet.

Amazingly tasty food, well cooked and delightful presentation. The young Russian waitress was so lovely and kind.. We can't wait to eat here again.

Lovely pastries, baklava and turkish delight

Really excellent food, friendly efficient staff. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, friendly staff - you can also buy baklava to take away.

We decided to pop in for a late night snack and we ended trying lots of nice food and some sweets. We shared some delicious grilled halloumi, a Greek salad (which was huge) delicious Lebanese flat bread, hummus topped with shredded lamb. My boyfriend had the lamb flat bread but was so big we brought it home. We had to try some baklava and some Turkish delight. Both were delicious especially the pistachio baklava. we had a double espresso too which was lovely. All in all lovely service! Nice to eat local and try something new 🍯🍽🧆

Tasty fresh baklava! Half of the tray didn't even make it home from the car!

Very welcoming and friendly staff, the food was delicious and to top it off they presented me with a free slice of cake with a candle in it for my birthday, a well deserved 5 stars 😀👏🏽

This place is amazing. And incredible value. We always have mezze; fattoush salad, baba ghanoush, hummus, mumharra, shawarma hummus. With loads of homemade flat bread. Some stuff I can't remember the name of, it's all so fresh and tasty, you can't go wrong. Very easy to go vegan or veggie, but our teenager always has a lamb kebab which is amazing. It's not licensed but they are cool with BYOB, and just they just charge a few quid corkage. Ignore the garish decor and jump in. We took some baklava home. But it's all about the savoury food for me. A feast for four for under forty quid.

Great food, vegan options, friendly service at a very reasonable price too👍

Fantastic place to eat delicious Lebanese meal,or chill with a pot of cardamom tea and some freshly made baklava in the day,great ambience and fantastic staff...call out to Irina for looking after us every time we go

We had two starters each instead of a main so we could try a variety. Wow....portions were so big and food was delicious. Plus we had a dessert each. £25 for two of us .....great value ! Definitely recommend.

Absolutely fab. Excellent veggie food & wonderful staff

Excellent food and dead friendly staff

Lovely little gem of a place. Only had coffee, mint tea and cakes but all so lovely

Nice and friendly atmosphere and tasty shawarma and falafel wraps....don't forget to try the yummy cakes.

Lovely cafe with a great choice of cakes and small plates

Lovely food, never had Arabic coffee before and mate ITS BARE TASTY

Lovely food, lovely staff, absolutely pristine restaurant, would defo recommend 👌

I'd recommend the fresh lemonade. Very nice. Reminded me of the stuff we'd have in all the restaurants in the middle East. A shop/ restaurant hybrid. We sat in and had lunch, which was good. Place is clean and bright. The counter selection of cakes, pastries and traditional food also looked good.

Lovely staff, delicious food and very clean. We were a party of 8 and all made to feel welcome. Reasonably priced and BYO drink too.

One of the best Lebanese restaurants I have come across in 7 years in the U.K. having lived in the Middle East for 2 years I can recommend!
