Jimmy's Killer Prawns in Manchester

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.

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!

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

An interesting concept for a seafood restaurant / diner.

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

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.

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

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.

Fantastic staff and delicious food

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.

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!

Amazing food! Adi was very friendly and helpful😊

Thank you to Mirel for the excellent service.

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

Nice place. Staff are helpful.food was nice.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

We’ve had platter for 2 by a recommendation, That was tasty prawns and great service from Maryam.

We have been for many times before always great service and great food We were served by MARYAM who was such a nice person very polite and very helpful 5star

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

Worst experience ever.. food was over cooked no flavour inedible never again. Was really looking forward to it and was more than disappointing

Food was amazing and portions were very generous. We were hosted amazingly by Srikanth and felt very welcomed. Will definitely come back.

Brilliant food this is my third time at this place. Love it they have a new menu and it is fantastic lots of choices, I just can't get enough. Still great quality and the service amazing.

It was our first time visiting Jimmy's Killer Prawns and we were very impressed! The food was absolutely amazing especially the spice and flavour of the prawns. The staff were all very friendly and special mention to Maryam who looked after us all evening and no request was too much for her. Thank you for a memorable dinner and great 5* service! 👌😃

Absolutely delicious food and great service Maryam was an amazing hostess make sure everything is great as usual

Friendly service, fast and tasty cuisine.

We go regularly and usually enjoy the food. We spent around £200 this time. Our mountain of prawns consisted of two types, small and large. I guess the small ones were added to make up the number. Also, we asked for extra tartar sauce and the waiter went to get it but she came back saying if you want extra, you have to pay for it. We don't mind paying for anything especially if it's mentioned on the menu. We found this very rude and clearly indicated that making money is more important than customer satisfaction.

Enjoyed eating here. Service was good and so was the portion size. Took 2 of us to finish the paella. Will try one of the platters next time as they did look good.

Ready for a lovely meal with my girl but had to walk out because they refused to serve tap water with our meal. Said It had to be bottled water at £2:50 a pop. Disgraceful! P.S 40-50 quid they won't get from me now!

Delicious shrimps with great taste

Favorite go to sea food place, at this point we probably come here once atleast once a month, honestly would recommend it to everyone

This is my first time eating at Manchester branch (been to Leicester branch twice before). Foods were delicious and services were efficient especially Srikanth. Good concept and restaurant to eat and bonding/catch up with your friends and family. Also has prayer room if you want to pray.

Worst food ive ever tried!!! Me and my family always go to the leicester branch we are regulars and we always get the Jimmys saucy prawns with 18 pieces, the sauce tastes nothing like what it should and the prawns were overcooked and not fresh at all! When we complained the manager came to speak with us and he was adamant this is how it should taste. No great customer service from him at all! Bill came to almost £200 for 4 of us as we ordered some starters too! No suggestion to make fresh ones for us or even any discount as we were not happy with the food quality. Will NOT be coming to the manchester branch ever again.

Food was okay, millionaires platter, website said 1 price, menu said another price and the waiter said it was a completely different price all together , about £40 difference between the 3, very disappointed, we only committed to buy because our son was so excited to try it , we will not be back again

Thank you for a fab time with great food and service

The prawns tastes absolutely delightful. They should open a branch in Birmingham.

Top place! Maryam was very helpful and her service was top class! Highly recommended

The atmosphere, the service and food was 10/10, the place is amazing.

Don't visit if you have minor allergy to prawns as you will not be served! It is claimed they are a prawn restaurant but also sell steak/chicken/burgers. There's plenty of places which sell prawn but will serve. Highly disappointed.

Very bad, Service the stuff very rude they are not polite

The service from Srikanth was great. Would definitely return. Great guy, checked if food was okay and if we needed anything. Food was nice, first time taking my mum and she enjoyed it and would come back. Thanks Srikanth.

What a lovely place! Spicy Prawns platter was amazing. Enjoyed the food and easy to park off the street opposite the restaurant. Excellent service. Meme was amazing with brilliant customer service and very pleasant with the big group "24" of us.

Jimmy's Killer Prawns is located in Deansgate, Manchester. It provides the seafood style is quite similar to the American style, which I used to eat in Seattle, US seafood restaurant before. We order grilled and deep fried prawns. Personally i like the grilled prawn style more. Service is good.

I was really confused which plate I ordered until Srikanth came in helped I really like it and i will definitely come back again

Mate.. why was there only half of my food in the bag and half my prawns were gone. Can you please sort this out. Also it seemed like my bag enjoyed the food more than me.

Very nice food , best ever seafood restaurant in Manchester, love it

Very decent flavour with plenty of seats available. Would strongly recommend their killer prawns

Are at this restaurant yesterday, good atmosphere. The food looks great, we found the food to be very salty, especially our child’s meal, I can’t understand why. Children should have low salt and not be covered in this amount of salt. The staff are friendly but have no idea when placing hot plates down on the table in front of a one year old, a child will automatically grab, we had to protect them from that. We found the tables to be small. Our table was for 2 not 3. Our food looked great, but still the next day we are very thirsty from the amount of salt we had. The restaurant toilets are downstairs, but there is a lift.

Refused to serve tap water which is illegal. Sorry not quite illegal. I missread their "mocktails" as cocktails. Legally restaurants only have to serve tap water if they serve alcohol. So not illegal but a shame they don't at least offer any mock tap water to go with it :( Regardless of being legal, I think when you're spending close to £100 tap water should be offered. I'm not stingy I just like water, and if I don't need to harm the environment that's a bonus.

Privey but oh my goodness food is amazing

I loved the food... abit crowded but lovely service and food.. parking is not easy

Worth the long drive to try this place out. Amazing price for such a large portion of prawns. It goes well with the rice. The drinks are a tad overpriced for what they are but overall I enjoyed my experience!

The food is super great and well priced. I asked for extreme spice and it came out just great. I would be visiting again and again.

I have been to Leicester Jimmy as well Lovely taste of the prawn

I had been asked if there was any allergies advised I had but it wasn't served at the restaurant. To which the girl who greeted us said loudly, "we're not serving you" at such a high pitch that half the restaurant started looking at me like I was a terrorist. She could have simply apologised and advised that she couldn't serve us in a professional manner, but you can't teach good manners to the un-educated. Didn't respond to the staff with a bad attitude. Decided to go a few doors down and get a delicious steak rump and ribs. Spent money elsewhere where the service should be as good as the food. She'd be excellent at a Macdonald's drive thru, but not somewhere where there is overpriced prawns.

Came for a birthday meal what a disappointment over price rubbish staff very rude won’t be coming bk again also they give u a car park ticket in post watch out!

Worthy of being the assassin among shrimps, dddd👍🏻

Great food, Srikanth was brilliant in his service as well

Service staff were friendly and food was also served without much waiting time. Prawns were amazing! (They were medium btw!) 💯🔥😮‍💨 100% would recommend. Would definitely loce to try other dishes given the opportunity next time!

The food is amazing!! Perfect place to go with your friends and have a prawn-eating-vibe. The problem is a lack of alcohol. A nice glass of white wine is a must after !

Second time visiting and did not disappoint! Food is great, staff are friendly and accommodating. First time ordered the Jimmy Sizzler and spicy red soup, but really the highlight is the prawns which is fun to devour a mountain of in a group. The second time we got the 50 prawns platter (enough for 4 people) in extra spicy which did have a kick to it and spice built up the more we ate. Loaded fries were good and very cheesy but not something I would order again. The passionfruit lemonade was refreshing and not overly sweetened and artificial tasting which I would highly recommend. They also have prayer room. Will definitely be back, and would highly recommend going with friends and family for a special meal out.

Marcie was absolutely amazing and sensational she deserves a pay rise!!!!!!!!!!! fantastic customer service and tasty food.

Wasn't sure if Jimmy’s in the UK would give the same vibes Jimmy’s in South Africa gives.... It was the same, we didn't have a reservation but the host made sure we got a table as soon as possible, friendly waiters, food was prepared in record time and everything was absolutely delicious. Would definitely go back for those mouth watering prawns...

Best prawns in the UK. Cooked to perfection and nicely spiced. Good and quick service. Recommend that you make reservation as it can get very busy at times. Lots of paid parking nearby too.

Myself and my partner visited Jimmy’s on Saturday for the first time. The highlight of our visit was the customer service - we spoke to 2 waiters who were absolutely lovely and very attentive. Also, the potions portions are very generous.. especially the size of the prawns! Will be visiting again soon 😄

Amazing serving sizes, don’t serve alcohol (we didn’t know) and really good prawns and selections of dips

Very good service from the waiter Srikanth
