Jimmy's Killer Prawns in Manchester

Crab, salmon and shrimp all tasted the same. Even the chips had the same spices. Salmon did not taste good

Kyra was attentive and friendly. Nothing to complain about...I keep coming back here on each trip to Manchester from Essex .

Very good service from Srikanth and amazing food!!!

Great service from Shrikanth, the prawn platter for 2 was delicious

Staff were very welcoming and helped us with our request. Gave us variety options of their finest food on the menu. Srikanth was also very friendly and helpful. He gave us tips of which ones to try next time we come back. ACE TEAM!

Had a nice meal and thanks to sriknatho

had an awesome time and great service from sriknath

I recently visited Jimmy's Killer Prawns and was thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. We were particularly blown away by the excellent service provided by Srikanth, who went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. Srikanth was attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was just right for us. His professionalism and warm demeanor made the meal even more memorable. If you're looking for great seafood and exceptional service, Jimmy's Killer Prawns is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Great service from Srikanth. Steak was awesome prawns were amazing. You get gloves so your hands don’t get icky. All n all great value for money. Left feeling full and happy.

Delicious food and friendly staff

The food was spectacular!!! We had ordered the Killer Prawns (World Famous Killer Prawns) Platter for 1 with a side (we chose chips) and Grilled Salmon, which came with rice and grilled vegetables, as well as a Passion Mojito. They were absolutely delicious! We thought we wouldn't finish them, as the portions were big, but from the first bite we dove straight in! They provided plastic gloves and bibs (if we needed) to help with removing the prawn shells, which was really helpful. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was lovely, calm and soothing, not too loud or too quiet. It was lovely and relaxing. And as an incredible bonus, they have a prayer room, which is really helpful! I would definitely come here again, I love seafood! It was the most delicious and comfortable birthday meal. Thank you!!!

I didn't buy a very ordinary seafood bucket with Optzer, the quantity is small for the price, but overall it's worth a try.

Srikandh has been excellent, food wasn't spicy enough and he brought us the special spicy sauce from the kitchen! We're regulars and we cannot recommend prawn platters enough!

Me and my partner love it here, food is unreal, Kyra was our waitress and gave us amazing service, 5 stars!

Absolutely one of the best prawns in MCR hands down! And Srikanth was so so helpful! If you go there; just take his advice please he’ll arrange the best possible combo for you

Delicious taste , fresh and big portions. Excellent hospitality by Srikanth. Thanks

I come into jimmys all the time basically every week and have been going for 2 years and every time I go in Kyra and adi always look after me and are very hard working.

Never seen that amount of prawns in a platter my whole life … tasty, juicy and freshly presented

Can't rate it for food because we didn't stay. Such a shame, because we were looking forward to the seafood. They don't serve alcohol, so we went elsewhere. We were on a night out for a nice meal with wine followed by the theatre, so we decided not to stay. Didn't like the seating arrangements much either - cheap bench-style tables.

Had the spicy Prawn Boil for One. It was pretty spicy, but not unbearable. It was delicious and the portion was pretty big.

Loved the heap of prawns and it was really yummy

I would give four stars if it was in other country, but considering here’s the UK, it’s good enough. Wish the boiling seafood was less sweet

prawn gone bad, strong urine smell and the owner refused to change and told us that was prawn supposed to smell. I have been to this restaurant twice and ordered exactly same dish cuz I really loved it, I never had similar issues before. I feel very disappointed how they responded to me and told me that I still needed to pay. All I want is to change to a fresh prawn dish. I would never come back again. I am concerning about their food quality.

Jimmy's Killer Prawns offers a mix of positives and drawbacks. Starting with the positives, the food is delicious, delivering on taste and quality. Despite its affordability, the flavors are rich and satisfying, making it a great value for money. However, where Jimmy's falls short is in its service speed; i experienced long wait times during peak hours. Additionally, the lack of on-site parking can be inconvenient. Overall, if you're patient and looking for tasty food at a reasonable price, Jimmy's Killer Prawns is worth a visit.

Kasmiri prawns was amazing! So tasteful

I have been there few time’s ! The food always spot on . But the staff not with it sometimes !

Very good atmosphere,had my anniversary dinner here..staff was very friendly, service was prompt... love it will visit again..children welcome

An interesting concept for a seafood restaurant / diner with plenty of options for every enthusiast of shrimps and prawns. The place is a part of the larger multinational chain, but offers a very decent diner like informal atmosphere. A gem in the city centre of Manchester.

Been here a few times and the standard platter has been spot on but recently went and the standard prawns are smaller and hardly any sauce on the spicy version, they looked more like the original. Left hungry and got a top meal after elsewhere after leaving. Plus my friend got charged twice. I know lots of food places are cutting corners to save cost but didn't think Jimmy's would compromise on their quality.i would return only if the standard prawns went back to normal size and they stopped scrimping on the marinade.

Gran comida y un excelente servicio por Srikanth. Bandeja millonaria es fantástico junto con la bandeja para tres. Vendría de nuevo

Nuestro servidor Srikanth era increíble, darle un aumento, hacerle gerente, sólo vender la tienda a él. Tyttttttttttgttggtghjrbjdhcjejdjj esto es para alcanzar el límite de 100 letras

Adel served us very well 🙏🏻 I like the food of course will come again

Me and my family come visit on a regular basis, at least twice a month. The experience we had with the manager yesterday was awful. We explained the prawns weren’t how they usually were and were mushy and overcooked. Instead of coming to a solution the manager instead kept contradicting us and saying they’re fine and that’s how they’re meant to be. Everyone in my family who had the prawns yesterday all got an upset stomach and it just shows the prawns weren’t good. I called today to complain and the same manager lied saying she asked if we wanted them replaced yesterday and we declined. Which definitely didn’t happen. Please work on your customer service skills and food quality please.

I’ve been going to Jimmys for years now and recently it’s just been going downhill. We got the Thursday deal of 50 prawns and they were either overcooked or really poor quality. The prawns were really soft like mash texture half of them had to be thrown and had a bitter taste. We tried complaining and the manager refused to listen and instead argued back stating the prawns are good quality and that there’s nothing wrong with them as if we were lying. I genuinely love going to jimmys, but it’s frustrating when the customer service is poor. After eating the food, our tummy hurts and I’ve not been able to stomach anything for two days.

Food was good, although I preferred a bit more seasoning on the prawns and rice. The experience eating the prawns was messy and fun! Atmosphere was good. Recommend the experience.

Serves seafood 10/10, very delicious

🦐Dinner ends with a seafood-style restaurant. Shrimp buckets like those from Thailand, like Jimmy's Killer Prawns Manchester. Delicious prawns. The sauce is considered delicious like in the UK.

"People are very nice, food is VERY good, super quick." Freddy Aged 8. Jokes aside always fantastic food and service. A must visit.

Si quieres gambas jimmy’s es el lugar correcto gambas de buena calidad de buen tamaño demasiado bien cocinado recogiendo a la parrilla o frito menú interesante algo para todos el servicio era excelente personal amable no hay problemas

Very tasty food its a bit messy but great if you like getting stuck in. You get an apron and disposable gloves as the food can be a bit spicy and you wouldnt want stains on your clothes. The seating is basic but if there keeping it clean then its practical. The staff were quick with our food and explained the different meals to us. Theres NO Alcohol in the resteraunt, all the beers are alcohol free which is not a problem and keeps the bill price down I suppose. Definitely worth a visit to try this great food.

Straight 10, service, staff, food, portions. A must for any lover of prawns. I'm coming back soon

Food was exceptional, service is very good

I heard mixed reviews but I must say I personally am a seafood lover and I loved the food here. We ordered the 50 prawn platters in spicy and one in extra spicy. Both tasted delicious and perfectly cooked. I preferred the spicy one the extra was too much of a kick for me. The ribs were amazing the bbq taste wasn't overwhelming. We also tried most of the starters, all were decent. Atmosphere was casual which was fine. Very clean. Tables a bit close to each other but can't always be helped I guess. Staff were all very friendly and smiley which I love. Menu was nice. Bit on the pricey side but expected with sea food so maybe try and go on Tuesday or Thursday for a bit of discount. Family friendly. Halal and allergy aware. I didn't see a kids menu so mine mainly had starters unfortunately. Parking on road but lower down from the restaurant so might need to walk a little and cost a few pounds if you go before 8pm but we all managed to get parking for 3 cars so no issues x

Visitado durante el almuerzo la oferta del día montaña de gambas era genial. David sugirió que los mejores entrantes que los anillos de calamares y las gambas dinamita eran increíbles deben probar. David era educado y muy comunicativo sobre el menú.

La comida era fantástica y el servicio es genial. Srikanth es muy servicial porque es nuestra primera vez en la tienda que ha explicado completamente el menú y nos ayudan a ordenar

Good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff. I would enjoy a glass of wine with fish but they don't sells alcohol unfortunately, this is why I gave 4 stars only.

Starting things off - food was beautiful. We had the platter of prawns for 4 and the deep fried squid. Again the food was stunning and flavourful. The let down was the service. It was brutally poor. No one smiled or acknowledged us and when they did get the drinks they couldn’t be less bothered. Nothing. And I have been in hospitality for 16 years. I would not be letting my teams get away with this. I also used the loo at the end and the chap who greeted us on entry, I actually held the door open for him after he didn’t wash his hands and went back to work. Amazing. Food - immense Service - none Also I was going to tip on the machine but the lady who took payment just bypassed it before I paid. Amazing!

Early start so not that lively. Exceptional food

When I go to a restaurant, it needs to calming and one should be able to eat peacefully. The music was constant and far too loud. Not necessary. It is a restaurant, not a night club.

Food was amazing top notch. However service was a little slow even though the place was not crowded. Took them about 20 minutes after seating me to take my order but once ordered food was fast to arrive. The other thing is the girls next to my table were arguing really really really loud! To the point i thought they will start fighting! It was very annoying and everyone in the restaurant weren’t comfortable and were talking about how absurd this is. No body of the staff tried to hush them down or even ask them to leave!! I had to take 45 minutes of screaming and unfortunately I didn’t have my AirPods on me. They ruined my experience but I blame the manager for not acting on it.

They served our dishes to the wrong table and after they realised they gave us a lobster filled with cheese 🤮🤮🤮 Bad attitude and worst costumer service ever.

Food was.. OK. It was reasonably tasty, and the prawns weren't overcooked. We got the 50 prawn platter, so didn't try a huge range of things. It was a decent amount of food between the 2 of us, but not too filling, expected the prawns to be slightly bigger. We ordered a sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it very much did not deliver. It felt more like a light sponge that had been soaked in a toffee sauce. When you order a sticky toffee pudding, you expect it to be quite dense, with a sticky sauce that makes it almost slightly chewy. We didn't get that at all. The dessert was poor, and what drags the overall rating down. Prawns were 4/5, pudding was 0/5 really.

Loved my time there, David was very helpful and prompt with the orders. We will come back soon !

First time here and it was perfect more than as I expected we have been served by Srikanth great guy very clear and straight forward

Good service and Nice food! David should get at least 5 stars for his helpful service and good attitude.

Well done David for the excellent service, 5 stars 👍🏻

I've been coming to Jimmy’s Killer Prawns for several years now, and it has consistently been an outstanding experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it's the prawns, seafood platters, or any of their other dishes, everything is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every visit is memorable. I often forget to take photos, but here are some pictures from two years ago to show how amazing the food looks! Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great seafood and a welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be coming back for many more years!

A halal fish and shrimp restaurant and one of the best seafood restaurants in Manchester

Very tasty fresh Prawns. Crab is just amazing.

I am south African sadly not the Jimmy's we get in SA prawns over spicy with raw spice & sauces totally different highlight of evening was the spicy chicken livers closest to home service mediocre certainty will not go back very disappointed

I was there its middle to low class restaurant. I don't recommend it

Very good food and very good service and Srikanth he is the best

Great food and great service from Srikanth

If you love prawns, then you will love this place. Great quality food.

Food is good but a pain to eat, crab doesn't have much meat but it does taste nice. Prawns are easy to peel and do taste great. Lobster tail was by fat my favourite, lots of meat and tasted nice. Sauces weren't really my thing but they were good quality. I'd recommend it for a nice experience but you will get messy eating it.

Gone downhill this gaff not like how it used to be. No starter spicy queens. The crab was mushy has hell and the chips was hollow scraps I don’t know what’s happened but it was nice when it opened.

Srikanth’s severs is great and food are delicious

Amazing place if you love PRAWNS ❤️ you gota go here great staff 👍🏾

No issues with the food staff were friendly enough when I walked in but I spent longer with my finished plates sat in front of me than I did eating the food, even after 20 mins and finally getting a menu to look at dessert they were still not taken… another 15 mins of sat with the finished plates later we gave up and went and found a server to get the bill and a full 35 minutes later the plates were taken and we walked out. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so ignored in a restaurant.

I went to Jimmy killer prawns over the weekend with my Mrs and my children. The service and food was on point. Very family friendly atmosphere. The prawns/spicy were to die for and my other half ordered a lobster which was soo good as she was nice enough to let me try it haha. They gave my children paper and crayons to colour which was a nice touch. Thank you so much for having us, you have a returning customer.

Fantastic staff and delicious food

Their style is very sophisticated Their food is very delicious and clean

Always greeted with a smile. I did want a spicy option for my chicken but they didn’t have. But over all the food is amazing and the staff and always friendly and patient. Food comes timely never too long.

Terribly bland food! A friend recommended this restaurant and suggested a particular meal. I ordered the Mozambique Prawns mea (picture with Mocktail). The presentation was pathetic. I sent this to my friend who showed me the same meal but he's certain that ours was sub par. This was clearly an inconsistency on their part. We did speak to management about it who suggested that he couldn't replace it however he would give us a free sauce. He then proceeded to add that to the bill. Overall, i would not recommend this restaurant due their inconsistency of food and terrible management. The waitress and service from her was fantastic. I hope the company reads this and reaches out to me for a more indepth feedback.

I was so looking forward to prawns! My sister reserved online and told them I was GF on the reservation. When we arrived they took over 20 minutes to even talk to us, but we read the menu and it looked great … eventually a waiter came - we ordered prawns, chips and a Greek salad. He came straight back and said we couldn’t have the salad as the Feta contained gluten! I pointed out that Feta is cheese and naturally GF but he insisted the chef was happy to cook the rest but not the salad! I sent him back to check as this was blatantly ridiculous. He then returned saying that actually the prawns contained gluten - at this point I asked for the manager as I had no faith that ANYONE had done any allergen training. The manager had a bit more of a clue … he explained that the secret spice mix contained gluten - I asked if I could just have prawns without the spice mix but apparently this was impossible - the only thing he offered me, from the whole menu, was a chicken breast! We walked, having wasted 45 minutes on the whole saga - thank God for Evuna across the road - I had fabulous prawns with garlic and chilli that were GF plus I got to drink a beautiful wine with them! Really don’t bother with the shower at JKP - environmental health will be informed of their incompetence!

Thank you to Mirel for the excellent service.

Amazing food! Adi was very friendly and helpful😊

Always order grilled spicy shrimp with rice and mashed potatoes.. 😋 yummy

Srikanth is so nice！ Food is good.

Prawns were amazing! Excellent service provided by Srikanth! Definitely need to go back.

Good food and good service, thank u srikanth

Spent 244£ on just eat to be told by manager ‘Adi’ that he cannot add an extra 50p sauce into my order. Won’t be ordering from here again. Zero customer service following ‘franchise rules’.

Srikanth's service is very good and the food is delicious

Nice place. Staff are helpful.food was nice.

I went to jimmys for my sons birthdays for the first time and wasnt dissapointed.As my sons favourite food is prawns i thought we would try this place.The prawn spicey platter was amazing and so were the accompanying sauces.Excellent service but a bit on the pricey side.Would definitely recommend and would go back again.

Food amazing. Service from the manager Adi horrendous, first after refusing to give us tap waters, continues to be rude throughout the meal. Avoid until he leaves.

wonderful sea food menu. the shrimp are exceptional. prices are reasonable for the kind of fish and quantities. It definitely made me a repeat customer

We had a great lunch today at jimmy, Prwans , Staffs are very polite, we served by Maryam and she was very kind and nice. 100% recommend

The best seafood in manchester, such a great food and lovely team, Maryam served us tonight and she was very professional and we are happy to had a great night there. Thanks Jimmy we will be back soon.

I spent my 25th birthday here with some family and friends - food was amazing! We had the lovely Makatha /Rhu (this could be very much a typo, apologises) as our host. Thank you!

We had a great experience in this lovely environment. I have ordered the queen prawns and it was an absolute best. Also, we were served by Maryam who was very friendly and helpful staff of there.

Food was superbly great, table service guy srikanth was really friendly and nice. Amazing overall experience!

Such amazing day, we were at jimmy yesterday, We met maryam, She was very very kind and polite, she helped us to choose the lovely food with amazing taste, We will recommend everyone to taste jimmy's prwans. Thanks Maryam and lovely team, we will come back soon.

Food was amazing, staff was attentive by how busy it was! Especially thanks to MARYAM who was looking after us, such a nice girl! Would definitely recommend booking especially on a weekend!

Amazing food! Amazing vibe, Lucy went above and beyond with the service.

This is by far our favourite place to eat in Manchester, we've become regulars. The pile of 50 prawns are fantastic, as well as the creamy seafood soup. The gentleman who has been our waiter on multiple occasions (Srikanth) was friendly, attentive and very approachable. I can't fault the food or service.

Great food per usual and great service by Srikanth! He is very friendly and nice!

Where to begin, at best it's pub grub and at worst it's fast food. Unfortunately, the prices don't reflect either. It was bad from the off. On making it to the table, the waitress immediately came over to take our food order. At this point, we were also informed that the restaurant didn't serve alcohol or tap water. We could however purchase non-alcoholic drinks and bottled water. For a place that specialises in spicy food, charging for water felt a bit unreasonable. The food didn't improve things, frozen chips and variations on seafood which seemingly involved either a microwave or a fryer. I'm not convinced on the back of the visit that anything is made or prepared fresh. The service is equally dire, the waitress offered no insight into the food when asked, and when it did arrive it was just dropped on the table with no explanation as to what anything was. With everything battered, the food all looked the same but we were left to figure it all out for ourselves. Finally, having asked for the bill, it took a further twenty minutes to pay and leave. This only really happened when we collared the waitress who had no plans to come back to the table to take payment. All in, a complete car crash from start to finish.

The food was very nice and the staff SRIKANTH was very friendly with us and helpful

It's delicious and they serve too much food. I love Srikanth he is very kind thank you for the great service
