Jazera in Manchester

Nice food. Cooked well. Chicken and kebabs were nice and tender. Very large portions. Only criticism was that the service could have been given with a smile but food was top class.

I had a delicious dish of lamb chops dish. With an excellent service by a staff member called Summia. I will definitely recommend any one to go and taste this delicious food and excellent customer service. I am excited by their service!

The service at Al Jeezra restaurant was excellent. Summia, our server, was incredibly helpful, very polite and attentive. The food was lovely. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Warmly welcomed by a lady by name Sumayia. Waiting period short,food was freshly cooked,hot and good presentation,good taste. Mint tea was excellent. Excellent service and good customer service I will visit again.

Still selling coke, while children are dying? Food is reasonable but a little expensive for what it is. Tables were dirty. Apparently owner is not listening.

usually the food is amazing but today they disappointed me a lot,burned all my food,didn't see the usual concentration

Always busy, always fresh. You pay that bit extra from most places on Wilmslow Road but it is nice clean fresh food. The meats of a good quality too, I’m picky with my meats and it’s something I can eat comfortably time and time again. This is another place we go often! If your looking for meats/rice/kebab type food this is deffo worth a try.

The food so so delicious and customer service very good and the staff very friendly and kind. We love this place and higly recommend.

I had a single serving of a Kabob with bread and it came with rice, some salad and sauces. The kabab was a big piece and it was hard to finish. Price was pretty reasonable and the food tasted fresh and good. They serve you at the table. Tips are not necessary it seems in England.

Having a reunion with friends after many years. Pre booked and the the staff took care off us. Food kept coming. From the chicken - falah barbecued to perfection for starters. To the qabli for mains with curry WOW. It was absolutely delicious, the best I’ve ever had on the road after years and years of visiting! Thanks all

Always at the top of the game. Every dish is full of flavour. I have been visiting this place for 17 years and cannot get enough.

I practically always order my Qabili Pulao from here, it’s so good. Fast takeaway and delivery. Really fresh salads with the kebab and pulao.

Ordered a cheese burger and chicken burger. Cheeseburger and the chips were great, but the chicken burger was very disappointing. A very small patty in comparison to the bun and then half of the patty was so over cooked that it was inedible, could not get a bite out of it. Not sure if this the standard for the restaurant but we did expect better. Other than that, decent food.

It's my favourite restaurant in Manchester. Had never tried this style of food... chicken with rice is so yummy! Milshakes are really good. I always recommend this restaurant. Good food, good taste, good quality

I been going to this place for over 10 years , just been today , I understand they r busy , but the young girl serving is rude , one of the dish was given 15 mins after remaining people getting food , so It was reasonable to ask where it was ! She just shouted “ CALM DOWN Can’t u see we r busy “ n walked off She is young but she should show respect apologise n just sorry “ sorry we r busy will b as quick as poss “ n I would b fine with that Please get polite staff

We were 5 adults and a baby. We ordered rice with meat/ chicken. Naan with lamb shish and roast chicken. Everything was nice served and tasted nice however the chicken was bit bland.

Been coming here for a number of years, fantastic service. Best Afghan food on wilmslow road, fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend it

The food was great,however,the ladies staff are very rude when everytime we in, not as same as atmosphere as before(we are regular costumer from Sheffield ). Imagine we can felt scared to add more order as they were busy talking and.They ignored the order with the sour face and no hospitality to make us feel welcoming. It happened to us twice. We banned this restaurant and will not come back as many halal restaurants around there can serve great food and relaxing /welcoming better than them!.

I am an expert cook by myself. I rarely like restaurant s food. But this restaurant is the best restaurant in the UK. Kabli Palao was so good, so fresh. Whenever I go to Manchester, I visit this place and I just love their food.

Came to sample the Qabily Pilau. The portion size was large, which was ideal for me. Although not the most flavorsome, rice/meat dish I've had.

Pedimos kabli paloa, mango lassi, pollo a la parrilla y kabeda. Absolutamente increíble, la carne era tan tierna y cocinada a la perfección! Incluso proporcionó el hielo por separado sin pedirlo. Porciones muy generosas. El personal era muy acogedor. Bonito y limpio. Cocina auténtica. Veníamos como una familia de 8 personas, 6 de los cuales eran niños menores de 8 años, y los asientos no eran un problema, eran muy espaciosos. A los niños les encantó también.

Fuimos por una familia / amigos se reunieron. Siempre he oído hablar de este lugar y me alegro de haber ido. Tuve pescado y arroz a la parrilla (¿delicioso?). Aparentemente el pescado es nuevo pero los platos de carne son igual de buenos.Ve por la parrilla, el arroz y el delicioso nan (¡estaba demasiado lleno como para pellizcar el pan!)El mango lassi también es bueno! Un favorito de la familia!Gran ambiente familiar (con niños). . . puede ser un poco ruidoso . . Servicio fabuloso de un personal amable con sentido del humor:) tqEstaremos bk una y otra vez por supuesto:)

Oh my God, I visited Manchester 3 times, none of them I missed to go and eat the rice at Jazeera. My family also love rice especially with chicken, I personally like lamb hahaha. You won't be regret, trust me.

從這裡訂購雞肉里脊漢堡和5個燒烤雞翅。漢堡很糟糕，但雞翅非常好。值得4/5磅優秀的傳統食品已經來到這裡幾年，從不貶低食品的質量。

El Qabli pilau es excepcional y suficiente para alimentar a al menos 2 personas muy hambrientas. La comida siempre es fantástica, creo que lo mejor para este tipo de cocina en wilmslow road, supera cualquier lugar que ofrece qabli pilau en Preston por una milla. Me encantaría esta calidad a nivel local.

Went there for years. They make really amazing food. My favourite is the Qabily pilao with either chicken or lamb. Comes with variety of sauces and is very appetising. The rise itself is really delicious.

Outstanding traditional food been coming here for a few years and never let down on the quality of the food.

Very delicious Grilled chicken also chicken teka nice as well and the price is good. I recommend this restaurant for every who love rices

Siempre voy por su cordero y arroz pilau qibly pollo. Es servido caliente y viene con patatas salsa espesa, frescos, yogurt, ensaladas frescas y chiles en escabeche. En realidad, el arroz se puede comer por sí mismo porque es muy sabroso.

Been coming here for years and it never fails. The food here is brilliant.. excellent quality for the price. The qabili pilau rice is to die for. The tandoori mix grill is something I would recommend too.

I ve been visiting Al jazeera for quite a while sometimes with family and sometimes with friends but honestly speaking the rice they are serving customers is not cooked fresh like everyday,Most people eat the Rice thinking it's fresh but they should go in the kitchen and see for themselves their Rice is cooked weekly they just heat it when order is been placed and the chicken it varies depending on when they have the left over they have to sell it next day about the ribs and kobeda it's always fresh which is good but Rice and chicken Al faham you have to be careful and if nobody believe me they should go and be there when they prepared everything and see for yourself you will understand why am writing this

Fantastic and quick service as well as very tasty food which is at a good price. We ordered kobeda, chicken tikka, full roast and 1/2 roast with pilau - all the food was well cooked and delicious. Will definitely be back again.

While at uni I had memories coming here after class and work

Really nice food and cheap. Just to eat and go as the place is not very charming and can be really cold. The have additional seating upstairs.

Absolutely beautiful food to eat in or take out staff is friendly and helpful number 17 is tasty haha

Si quieres comida excelente que está excelentemente bien de precio, no más, este es el lugar para ti. Sus platos más populares son el pollo al faham Qabily Pulao, tanto y de que son para morirse, además las raciones son bastante grandes. La única razón por la cual estoy clasificación este lugar como un hotel de 4 estrellas en vez de 5* es que no sirven agua del grifo. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar.

Me lo habían recomendado un amigo Jazera cuyo hijo está en la Universidad de Manchester. He estado en el gimnasio y quería una comida sabrosa en el camino a casa. Tengo que decir que no me decepcionó. Pollo tandoori roti kebabs en ordenados con un zumo de naranja. Las piezas de pollo estaban bien cocinadas y suculentos. Quizás un poco salado pero rápido y con buena relación calidad-precio. La ensalada de tomate y yogur picante salsas eran muy buenos.

Deliciosas comidas disponibles con precios muy razonables. Si quieres estar más cómoda, subes por la entrada de estacionamiento. Servicio muy rápido como la nuestra nos sirven en menos de 15 minutos. Era nuestra segunda visita al lugar y todo lo que podía decir que son coherentes en término de el sabor de la comida. Los camareros amables. Lo único es que no sirven agua del grifo en una jarra. Tienes que pedir la botella de agua en su lugar.

The best kobeda kebabs on the Rusholme strip, eat in or take away. The pilau rice and chicken are also favourites of ours. Primarily a take away fast food outlet, there is proper restaurant seating upstairs.

Estar a la vuelta de la esquina voy aquí a menudo, la comida nunca se ha tardado más de 5 minutos. El pollo y arroz espectaculares. Un poco caro, sin embargo, un estudiante fr no me importaría volver. Comida increíble.

Seguimos visitando este lugar y a pesar de haber pasado más de 40 minutos de Manchester debido al sabroso kobeda kebab en el U. K. a la parrilla a la perfección cada vez, no puede tener nada más que un doble kobeda o al menos...

The first time trying qabuly pilau and love it so much! It is totally different from Chinese rice which is more sticky and shorter than pilau rice. Qabuly pilau here is full of the taste of lamb and spice. I'm especially into the lamb buried in the rice. There are three huge chunks of lamb and all of them are tender. The salad is more gorgeous than other cafes. The price is a little bit higher but worth the money.

Worst day to start the new year, will definitely never forget this day. I ordered Kobideh Kebab with my partner at 1:00am after the fireworks. And guess what ...I got food poisoned for the first time in my life which has GREATLY put me off getting a meal outside! I was instantly sent to A & E because of my constant puking ! Please everyone DO BE CAREFUL this place might look nice from the outside but what happens in the back of the kitchen is a complete MYSTERY, SO AVOID.

There are a selection of restaurants on wilmslow road that do middle eastern food but this one is the best hands down can't fault it I've tried everything of the menu and all of the charcoal meats are of high quality and mouth watering taste. 5/5

Really great grilled chicken and good rice cheap and chearfull but really great value .. IT IS REALLY REAL CHARCOAL THE CHICKEN SOAKs THE BARBQ FLAVOR YUMMY best chicken grill 10/10

Superb food..big portion for the price you are paying...loved it here. Usually will go for the qabili pilau but decided to have half chicken with rice this time around. The chicken was nicely marinated and grilled to perfection!

Had a grilled chicken kebab while my friend had the grilled lamb. Extremely big portions. The meats were grilled very nicely and the bill only came up to 15 GBP. A little out of the way unless you are in the university area.

Beautiful food. Priced well, large portions and great staff. Our new fave for grilled chicken. Recommend to everybody. Only visited twice in the space of 1 week and I'm hooked, I want it everyday. So tasty

I always get the rotisserie chicken with rice which also comes with sauces and salad. Not only is it absolutely delicious and a hefty portion but for £5 something you can't go wrong!!

Oh god never thought I will find a nice food in Manchester until I went to aljazera it's out of this world very tasty so clean and nice welcoming they just professional of what they doing happy to call again every day

Always do delicious food. Would definitely recommend this place. Kobedah and chicken al fahm and shawaya are luscious, oh and the qabili rice is finger licking!

I love the rice and chicken from Aljaz, they are always friendly and nice. service is great and food taste soo good.

Went for lunch after an exhibition in manchester, the Qabli Pilau was the best, so much flavour, the lamb fell off the bone, served with a daall. couldnt have asked for anything better. i have been so many times but not for a while and cant wait to go back.

Top class food, fantastic lamb chops, Kobeda kebabs and of course the rice with sultanas. I'm a regular here and never had a bad meal yet. Cheap and cheerful...

Cheap, friendly and best food ever! Just need to go to the upstairs lounge to be more quiet and enjoy your food with more time. Incredible food! I have been there many times and will come back for sure. Highly recommended!!!

Walked in, saw dead cockroach on floor...walked out!!Its a shame because the previous reviews are good.

Delicious cuisine in Manchester! I love the rice :) the place is also really nice. My friends and I really enjoy having dinner here after having a long journey from Southampton. Oh! The mint tea is also really good and the best of all, it's free!

I had kabadia kebab which was very tasty with rice. The place is small can get very busy. Sauce was not nice will be going back soon.

If you're in the mood for some genuine Afghani food this is the place! Don't go on the ambience just go for the food. The Kublai Pulao was mouth watering. The meat was so tender that it just melted in your mouth. The mixed Barbecue grill is a large helping of various chops kebabs and chicken cubes. Staff was friendly and courteous and service was quick. Looks like a fast food place but if you're a fan of Afghani food this is the place for you!

Since I moved to Manchester last month, I've already visited this place 4 times. The food are very tasty especially the Qabili Pilao rice (can't remember how it's spelt). The lamb placed together with the rice are very tender. I love the taste of the sweet raisins in the rice. The mint tea is tasty as well. We often order that everytime we visit the place. Price wise (without converting) is pretty reasonable especially for a large portion. Definitely recommended!

As an Arab, I grew up eating a huge variety of tasty middle eastern dishes so naturally it would be harder to impress my taste buds compared to someone who's never tasted this stuff before. With that said, the food they serve isn't bad at all. I ordered a rice dish, can't remember its name, but it had chopped carrots and lamb meat. It was really good! The long kebab dish is not bad either but I recommend ordering it with some hummus, wrap it in the bread it comes with, dip it and enjoy. Or eat it with rice, which is what I did. You order at the till, no waiter to come ask for your order, and you pay later. The service is good and quick too. Prices are on the cheap side which is always good. My main complaint about the place is the noise. It was really loud in there, the tv was loud, some customers were loud and so is the kitchen noise. Another thing was the hygiene, there was a weird smell that comes and goes, it was bad. I'm not sure where it came from, but it's tolerable. There was a small fly walking on my table and some soup drops on the ground where we sat which made it slippery. So to sum up, if you don't mind the noise, then go eat there because the food and the prices are great.

This place is a little small and always busy which is always a good sign. The kobeida and lamb shish mix was amazingly tasty so tender and succulent. I've not had better before or since I last ate there. Well worth a visit.

Second time visiting and was impressed again. Me and my husband and 3 kids were all fasting. We were seated and there was around another 5 or 6 families all waiting to break fast. The service was excellent especially considering how many dishes they had to get out for us to break fast and the fact the workers we're all probably fasting too. We were able to help ourselves to dates and they gave a complimentary lamb and lentil soup to break fast with. The food was delicious, hot and fresh and was served promptly as soon as fast was broken. Staff are brilliant and friendly and very attentive. The food it self is brilliantly priced and dishes we're large. Can't fault the food or service. Would defo come here again........in all we had a brill meal and time, thankyou to Jazera.

I came to the UK four years ago, Aljazera was one of the first restaurant I felt in love with. Every thing is supper delicious and the staff are so friendly. Las year in Ramada I went there and they serve some dates and soup as free of charge starters. When my uncle came few months ago to visit me here, I took him to this restaurant and he was pleased. I always recommend it to every Saudi who come to visit or study in Manchester.

Aljazeera is one of my best restaurants in Manc if not the best!Their Kobeda kabab is very tasty and soft, I really don't get enough of it. Their Qabili rice (pilau) is also the best I have ever tried, besides the grilled chicken on charcoal (chicken alfaham).It's not a fancy restaurant, it's very traditional and busy, however has the best food in Manchester.

This is one of my best restaurant in Manchester,I went there many times to ate different dishes.the welcome & friendly, it is clean place .Furthermore, I order Grilled chicken,Lamb chob,TikkaAll delicious, in Addition the nan wonderful. Also is it great value because the price fair.The seats nice and good but i prefer set in sofa in this restaurant. highly recommended if you like grilled food.

This is the best restaurant in Manchester for some one with middle eastern. Its all about the quality of the meat here, but otherwise its an average restaurant with small space no assigned area for family usually busy but staff hard working and the waiting would not be long. eat the meal above with the special chili and you will come again.

Went into this place by mistake, but best mistake ever made! food was brillaint. One of the best kobedas I've ever had. Cost way under a tenner for 2 of us will be going again for sure!

Is the place spelt Jazeera or Jazera? Don't remember to well, but it had the symbol of the Arabic News channel on the sign board. Went as a group and ordered various dishes. The place was packed, it had all the ambience of a takeaway in Morocco and most of the food was fine.This review is to advice, nah order, you go and try the Qabli pulao that they serve. The rice is so aromatic and the meat is tender, though a bit dry at places. The sauce was also decent.Parting shot? I wish I could make rice that deliciously at home, because I could eat it all day long.

Have eaten here a few times with my family when visiting Manchester, small and unassuming but absolutely amazing food. The qabily rice is great and the kobedeh kebabs are the best I've ever had. Fantastic value as well, 5 adults and 2 small kids fed for just over 30 quid, can't go wrong. The owner has now bought an adjoining spot and there's family seating upstairs, accessed from the back. An absolute jem, don't miss it, I lived in Manchester a few years ago and only found about this place before I left, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

We were staying near Oxford St Station and decided to walk to the "Curry Mile" to find a meal. We randomly chose All Jazera and were very happy with our choice. Huge servings and good sides. Quick, good quality meal - highly recommended!

Once every 2 months I or me and my family pay a visit I usually get the qabilly pilau with the kobeda kebab and I don't like lentils with that kind of rice so I tell them to leave it!They have fresh home made hummus and there chicken is nice too!They are always busy when I go sometimes it's quiet but customers do start eventually coming inI would deffo recommend this place!!!

This place serves kurdish and afghan cuisine, i have eaten here several times and particularly like there chicken alfaham roast chicken and kabuli plough rice. The service is slow but the food is well worth the wait. This is the best place on wilmslow road to eat, particularly if you like grilled bbq wholesome food.

I dont know what made us choose Jazera from amongst all of the other middle eastern cafes / takeways on Wilmslow Road, but I am glad that we did.The interior is clean bright and modern. You order your food at the counter. The kebabs are fantastic, served on nan bread with fresh salad and tasty sauces plus a couple of chiliis for good measure. A real delight for the tastebuds.The other customers also seed to be enjoying their food and I cant wait to go back to try some of the other items on the menu.

If you are looking for an authentic middle eastern cuisine, then you should definitely pay a visit.The half chicken with rice is legendary, out of this world. Proper home cooking, the rice itself can be eaten on its own, such is the flavour.It's a refreshing change from all the oily curries you get in Rusholme, this place is a no-nonsense foodie's haven. You know, the kind that is tucked away in a street corner with no ostentatious decor but the food sweeps you off your feet.Try the qabily pilau too, a blend of lamb meat slow cooked with rice/raisins/carrots served with a bowl of lentil soup. All this for less than 6 pounds and the portions are huge! Throughout Uni I have only met one female friend who managed to finish hers and she has gone down in folklore.The 'red sauce' that they serve is often copied but never rivalled. It's a blend of tomatoes, onions, coriander, herbs and lime, totally outstanding. Trust me, pay a visit once and you will never forget. My mouth waters just by writing this, and guess what, I am going to head there for dinner!

Deliciousfood at a reasonable price.must try!Great hang out spot for the youngsters,families and students. Takeouts are available too
