Lahori Dera in Manchester

Not all that tbh waste of money

The staff was not really helpful and very rude.

There tandoori fish is the best.. must try

Very nice food friendly atmosphere, iqra

The guy with the beard at the front was picking his nose , handling cash and serving at the same time Disgusting place Next door lahori nazara is perfect place of you want to enjoy real food Lahori dear avoid this place Lahori dear not going again crap

The food was okay. It was prepared quickly. Not bad in taste. Inside, the store looks more like a snack bar.

No flavour in food what so ever and it felt like I was eating heart attack karahi because of how much oil there was

Food was delicious. We ordered Tawa (portion for 2) which is easily good for 3 people. Also got nihari, spices were on point. Place was packed - people were going in and out and a couple of them were waiting for seats to become available! This is how you know the food is excellent! We had to wait approx. 25 mins for our order as it was being freshly prepared. Customer service was decent as well.

Amazing range of curries, well worth a visit

Not up to our standards food was not that great

Walked out of a restaurant in the same area and got told this place had good food by a bystander. Great food at great prices- my favourite was the biryani!! 100% will be coming back again.

Fantastic will return wonderful wonderful food keep up the great work

Horrible food the fish had no taste was soo salty and dry the food was horrible also the charga chicken was just as bad they are making this horrible food famous on tick tock and then turning they comment section off so no one can comment the reality of the place I went with my family and it was not a family atmosphere the food was expensive and tasted really bad not worth the hype

I ordered the chicken tikka and the lamb karahi to be delivered last night and it was absolutely gorgeous. Head and shoulders above any other Pakistani place I've tried. Fantastic, consistent quality food.

average but rude owner of restaurant

I recently ordered a takeaway from this place, and I must say, I was extremely disappointed. First of all, the food arrived late, well beyond the estimated delivery time. When it finally got here, it was barely warm, which was especially frustrating considering how much I paid for it. The portion sizes were shockingly small, and the quality didn't justify the price at all. The main dish was bland, lacking the flavor and freshness I expected. Even worse, one of the items I ordered was missing entirely, and when I called to resolve the issue, the customer service was unhelpful and dismissive. Overall, a terrible experience. The food was underwhelming, overpriced, and the service left much to be desired. I definitely won’t be ordering from here again.

We ordered tawa for 2, food was freshly cooked and served after 25 minutes approx. Food tasted good. We liked their thin roti/naan. There is free parking on the road.

First time going. Fish was absolutely distgusting. Chicken looked like it was cooked 2 weeks ago and kebabs taste was horrid. Every fish was different price starting from £28. Would not recommend for the price and taste

I went in to get a a take out that I had ordered on the phone but he charged me £4.50 extra. Whenever I go the price fluctuates and it changes depending on who the customer is. The customer service is rubbish and l would not recommended this to anyone. He has just scammed me by charging extra. I would never go again

Went there to have a meal but the guy was scratching his bums half of his hand inside the pants and afterwards started serving Disgusting I don’t understand why don’t council see hygiene on these people Disgusting

Best place to eat and buy roti ( baked bread ) !

Hi, Food is good but price is expensive according to portion.

Really bad service wait for long time

I ordered a take out for collection tje food was spot on ordered 3 curry disheswhich wete really nice & the naan was light & lovely !! We were all impressed as read recent reviews for this place!!

Good food and especially famous for tandoori fish and lamb Karahi.

Great food but inside is very very basic but would definitely go again for the taste

Loved their veg curry and steamed chicken. Simple but amazing food

Desi atmosphere. Desi takeaway or sit in. If your looking for a 5 star location seating then it not for you but I guarantee its food is amazing and better than 5 star authentic pakistani food..better than home cooked

visited Royal Manchester Restaurant yesterday with my wife and baby, and unfortunately, the service was terrible from the start. The manager was extremely rude, making our dining experience very unpleasant. Despite our concerns, the manager showed complete indifference to our situation, which ultimately led us to leave the restaurant. I am very disappointed and cannot recommend this place based on our experience.

Best lahori chargha i have ever had . Really worth eating !👍

Very nice nihari and lahori chargha . I m always coming here all the way from Birmingham just to enjoy the real lahori taste here. Really worth eating!!

Horrible service. We were served after 2 families who came and ordered after us! They had even finished eating by the time we got our food. They started preparing it to the very end, could see inside the kitchen. My parents are aged and diabetic and had to take their insulin and other medication and this place let me down, wish I could burn this place down. We had to request for everything repeatedly. We were served in disposable cutlery and glasses LOL. No water given. Charged for unsealed bottled water lol. Had to really beg for them to give us our tea although we asked to be served the tea with the breakfast. We were about to leave when they gave with the tea. I could see into their kitchen. They started preparing tea when we threatened to leave. Horrendous service and no apologies by the staff. They stayed silent whenever we complained about the delay. No apologies at all!! Appalling. We had to ask for even things like sugar (for tea), tissue paper, glasses, cutlery etc each time. And each time the guy went and came back after ages. Horrible. If I could I would sue this place so they close and go bankrupt InshaAllah.

What a food! If you love your tummy you should go there:)))good price, good portions and really nice spicey food.

Best Lahori Karahi in UK. Always go to Manchester to have this.

Bad food, bad service Dirty restaurant.

Whay you go anywhere else for traditional pakistani food choose to come on for food on this place 😋

Excellent food, excellent environment and Excellent service! Highly recommended!

Taste is really good. Prices are also within reach. Tbh, It’s lower than the expected price. Love to go there again and again.

Amazing food and definitely reminds you of authentic Lahore taste. Their lahori channel, chilli chicken, masala fish, chargha are highly recommended. Prices are reasonable. There not much seating area but they don't need to expand as the demand is more for takeaway.

Don't even bother eating from here, The worst seekh lamb kebab in the UK. Burnt, dry, microwaved old seekh kebabs. This place needs a health inspection. Many good food places near by just avoid this lahori dera. Absolutely Disgusting. The only thing good is the fries but not worth £20.

Ordered two seekh kebab sandwiches and a portion of chips. It was our first ever visit as we live in cheethamhill. To be honest, we had high expectations as it looked busy from the outside. Once we got the seekh kebab sandwiches, we were shocked to see the kebabs on a paper thin hard peice of something that was not a naan at all. The kebabs were burnt and hard as a rock. Only managed to eat one kebab with loads of yoghurt sauce to make it edible. It was the most dry kebab we ate. Told the waiter that kebab is burnt and hard like a rock and that is nothing like a naan. To be honest, the waiter did offer to bring me some complimentary curry, but we were put off with the food already. Brother, this is a very honest review so please ask the waiter and he will tell you that we left the kebabs behind.

We had Mixed grilled Tawa for 2 people. Liked it. Worthy to have a try.

When will you be back open and is there a renovation happening is that why your closed ?

Had a pleasure of eating at Lahore Dera today, I visited along with my family, we were super hungry as we were fasting, we ordered Chicken Chergha, Nehrai, Haleem, seekh Kabab and Biryani. Chicken Chergha was 8/10, Nehari was 7/10, Biryani was 5/10 as it was just a curry in rice so not a actual biryani, Haleem was 2/10 not good at all, seems it was made in a grinder. Overall food was good, service was super fast.

Best food in Manchester hands down. Homemade taste, great service, I won’t eat food anywhere but here ❤️❤️❤️

Delicious authentic food, with an authentic atmosphere and friendly service.. came here with some derbyshire/german folk who loved it... highly recommended

One of the best desi food with good offer for students. I really appreciate & recommend students. If they didn’t any desi food from long, they must give a try…

Been there to eat Butter chicken karahi, taste was not the same , spend £40 roughly for only karahi also have to pay for salad as well. So ridiculously high priced as compared to other restaurants.It was just before Ramadan , few days ago.

small shop packed with flavour !! got the mixed tawa for 4 people , best food i’ve tasted! highly recommend

Good food a little more spicy sometimes

Very good food! Recommend the karhai

Traditional Pakistani dishes, spicy taste, fresh, quite busy.

Best food in Manchester I recommend this restaurant for food you should have to try this

Lahori karahi demonstrated a commitment to quality and the food tasted fab!! Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Will def recommend..

Been there many times and the food has always tasted amazing and the customer service was top tier. I reccomend this restaurant to my friends and family and the owner is a gentleman to. From Rana

Nice Food and very good Hospitality

Exclient food friendly staff strongly recommend 👍👍👍

It’s cheap & reasonable in price

The food was extremely delish fresh and juicy. Had such delish food after long time. Highly highly highly recommended

Just had Lamb Biryaani. Tasty as always. Quality food and Service.

Really enjoyed it recommend to everyone food is fresh and very delicious. Friendly staff and brilliant service. love from Preston

The most rubbish service in the manchester Asked for water and not giving. Ordered more food and the guy said u need to leave the table in 10 minutes. Will never come again Rubbish

Food was okay.. nothing like lahori taste... kebabs were not fresh.. fish was okay but nothing special

Was nice and fresh food want to go again when get chance

One of the worst food in longsight..i will not recommend to anyone..staff and owner also rude..

If food was your priority then Lahori Dera will be top of the list. Quick service, great food. Go for it!

Very good service Very nice food

No service at all bad attitude by staff having no taste of karachi just waste of money not gona recommend this place to any one

Food is very good in taste and ask to other to visit them with good quality of food good atmosphere and nice cleaned tables.

بیت اچھا کھانا دوستانا عملہ مگر جگہ بہت تنگ💯👍

So I walked in and was immediately asked would you like to EAT IN or TAKE AWAY, upon enquiring I was informed by the server that they have separate Menu for Eat in and Take Away. Anyway I decided to EAT IN as it was cold and raining outside, I ordered CHILLI CHICKEN along with a Portion of CHICKEN SEEKH KEBAB. I thought it’ll be a quick turnaround as the Kebab’s were ready and all they had to do was Re-heat them and Naan should not take them a few minutes as the restaurant wasn’t busy and they have enough staff to fulfil the order. To my DISAPPOINTMENT I had to wait around 15 minutes for my food and even then the server just gave me a plate with a portion of 2 SEEKH KEBABS which have been warmed infront of me in the microwave and to my surprise the plate had water drenched from the Kebab’s (Again not Impressed as No Cutlery was given along) So I had to ask for cutlery! Anyway after another 10 minutes I finally got the CHILLI CHICKEN and 2 naan. Firstly the CHILLI CHICKEN was by no means whatsoever deserved to be called Chilli Chicken as it seemed more of chicken rashers with a lot of oil and no chilli or flavour not even enough salt. (Huge Disappointment) The kebab’s were just ok and not the very Best. Later as I couldn’t finish the food, I asked the Server that if I can get the remaining food to be packed for it to Taken away and again to my Surprise he brought in a Container and a paper bag and left it on my table so that I can do it all myself. Overall a Huge Disappointment both in-terms of Food, Quality and Service. A Massive let down as I surely won’t be Returning and Won’t be Recommending to Anyone. So save your hard earned cash and AVOID this place to save your Disappointment.

We did eat fish at your restaurant very delicious food thank you I rate you 100%

Had our meal with family and friends on few occasions, food was really nice. Have been coming from last few years food is always nice and fresh. Happy to dine again.

Seekh kababs too heavy to digest. Kabab meat is too coarsely ground. Chicken tikka not fully marinated and over-treated with termeric. Sauce was stale.

I ordered heleem and its like daal .no meat at all.portuin is too small even not enough for 1 person with 1 naan.

2 years ago use to be good quality. Unfortunately since they have become established the prices have increased ALOT and the quality has fallen ALOT. Not very clean inside either, my kids refuse to sit inside and eat. As they don’t clean up very well. The staff are over worked and must be low paid as they don’t smile and take your order like they are doing you a favour. The owner is the same, does NOT give you the service you expect from a family run business. Attitude, quality of food, hygiene and lack of quality of service is an issues here for which I would NOT recommend and will NOT be going back. There’s plenty of other places you could try. Avoid going here.

V good food but service average

Proper desi food but it can be old sometimes

Food: Multiple visits. All the meats are tender and spiced perfectly. Butter chicken or mutton, both are well made. Lassi hits the spot and the mint sauce is to die for. Service: Prompt and friendly staff. Overall 8/10. Would recommend

10/10 food 10/10 service will be comin back soon

One of the best asian restaurant in Manchester. The staff was very polite and the service was spot on. The owner of this restaurant possesses a gentle personality and a down to earth person. Overall 10/10 in taste and service.

Service too slow but food was good.

My experience at Lahori Dera was extremely disappointing. Not only did they overcharge for their food, but the service was also incredibly rude and unprofessional. It felt like they were trying to take advantage of customers with inflated prices and no regard for providing a pleasant dining experience. I won't be returning to Lahori Dera and would caution others to avoid it as well.

Even doesn't deserve a 1 star yesterday tried haleem from this place overpriced and tasteless looked like very old.never ever buy any more.

Restaurant with comfort food which tastes AMAZING! Authentic Pakistani cuisine for sure. Don’t expect anything else other than just great food :)

Honestly, I was blown away with the quality of food. Its a nice, quiet unassuming place. I ordered 2 paronteh, though it wasn't on the menu. I wanted daal with ghoast (lentils and lamb) I didn't get what the guy was saying, did they run out or was it discontinued, something got lost in translation. so decided to keep it simple with massala lamb. The lamb salan was utterly delicious, just like your mum makes it. The paronteh were massive and the salad with the chutney makes it. My recommendation to management would be that they should do more breakfast type meals because that's why I went. Overall I'd recommend.

Average chicken karahi, below average degi chargha. Waiter does what he likes, wont listen to you. He will serve how he likes.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Nihari and Chicken Masala at this restaurant and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The Nihari was rich and flavorful, with tender pieces of meat that melted in my mouth. The Chicken Masala was equally delicious, with a perfect balance of spices and a creamy sauce that had me licking my plate clean. The portions were generous and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying meal.

Food was nice but not as good as i expected

The waiters need to speak English, more so than urdu

Food quality is okay but sometimes they don't accept cards. Would be great if they accept cars all the time.

I had palak chicken, lamb biriyani and naan... Its been so long since i had palak gravy... That could be a reason for loving it... And the rice of mutton biriyani was satisfactory but the lamb pieces were superrbbb... So soft and tender... When it comes to price... Its cheaper compared to the quantity of food they have served... Overall it was a nice experience for me.... I recommend people to try there once...

Unhygienic food after eating I started having cramps and continuous dierreha so would say don't ever eat there again also very expensive.

Last time I came here the good was good. But let down this time

Quiet nice. Lamb karahi was really nice.

We only went because we've heard so much about their lamb chops and they were amazing. Soft n juicy. Place is set up with traditional Pakistani decor. They make fresh lamb karahi whilst you wait. Took around 35 mins for the food to be prepared. They supplied us with piping hot rotis as we ate which was amazing. We washed it all down with mango lassi. I cant fault their food. Only downside is that the place is small and crammed with tables and chairs. Its one of them places where you just sit and eat and leave, not sit eat and chat.

Traditional desi food. But their steam broast is really famous.

The food is good and fresh . And the stuff very very polite and nice . I give 7 star for you .

The naan is ok the curry is ok for lunchtime

Rogni nan are good ..charga (chiken full) is nice to soft
