Manjaros in Birmingham

I went to Manjaros on Ladypool road with my family and the service we received was excellent. Seating was spacious, even though there were 6 of us - My siblings all either had a Hotshot Parmesan or a Tandoori chicken pizza. The staff was polite and our food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering and came out piping hot. The food itself tasted great and the portion sizes were good value for money. If you are looking for a good restaurant to eat at in Birmingham, this is the place to go.

Avoid at all costs! Poor service, dreadful quality of food and totally overpriced. They're just there to take your money, not bothered about the customer. Best to spend elsewhere where they actually value your custom.

Last minute me and wife went out have a lunch, as we entered lovely young lady great us and taken to out table, we quickly ordered our food and had very quickly served us as well, food was delicious and service was excellent. I really liked to go restaurant when staff are happy and tread customers with respect. Management should pass our presentation to this young lady who worked Tuesday lunchtime. 😊

I had been to the old branch it was ok, this one they have definitely upped there game food was delicious and presentation was on point, friendly staff and a good atmosphere in general for the family would definitely recommend

Had Lamb chops and tandoori fries. Also, my partner had chicken peppercorn with rice. Just an average meal. Nothing special. Service was just OK. Sat upstairs. Drinks was a cola & orangeade.

The food and premises top notch but I was left with a bitter taste when leaving. The waitress/ attendee designating tables lacked the simplest hospitality skills. There was no smile, welcoming or attention. The table and floor was only cleaned after we were seated. The food was thoroughly enjoyed and filled our bellies; flavors were igniting and the lamb tender. Upon departure I noticed my friends in discussion at the till. I was confused but realized that we asked to split the bill and pay by card. The Gentleman at the till was trying to convince us to withdraw cash OR get one person to pay the entire bill by card and for each of us to then transfer to him separately. This was absurd. The justification was that there is a charge for each card payment. I pointed that businesses should be flexible with customers. The response to this was ' I could say the same to you'. At that point a friend paid the approx. £100 bill and we sorted it out later.

Good service from Bilal Pasta - delicious but garlic bread was burnt. Could be more creamy Hot shot Parmesan 9/10 bit dry

Went out for a family meal, service wasn't great last time but hey ho give it another go. Really wish I hadn't. Food was extortionate for portion size. I ordered the creamy Caribbean Lamb, it was 6 small cubes of lamb , tiny bit of rice with 1 flatbread quartered , and fries for £15. When I pointed out that the portion was tiny the response was very much a..."meh". After resignedly eating the dish I discovered it wasn't just lamb, it was mixed with mutton meat. When I highlighted this at the time to pay, again the response fell into...meh. One to avoid.

Have had manjaros in middles borough and London This is nothing like those branches . I have doubts it’s the original manjaros franchise. Food wasn’t great was kind of bland, we forced our selves to eat didn’t want to waste. Service was slow. Don’t think we will be visiting again

Never again vile food ,chicken Parmo cold Chips cold ,Salad garnish dry , Order my children’s pizza at 17.45pm only 1 margarita ,had to ask 3 times where it was ,did receive it till 19.00pm after every one eaten ,coke cans imported not from uk,they don’t serve tap water like wtf ,no toilet roll or hand soap in toilets, cash only business ! All mouth no substance ! Highly not recommend 👎

After asking around apparently I’m not the first!! It was too late to cook after work so ordered Manjaros Parmesan’s for family. After waiting eagerly (as u do), Uber delivered the food cold, chips were freezing cold!!! Manjaros manager had no interest in his customer relations & blamed Uber, he liked the sound of his own voice & sounded like a sales man (over a £20 order!) Ive never bothered complaining before as I’m not that fussy, however i was so frustrated especially as prices have nearly doubled way food arrived. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY - Mankato’s didn’t care how their food arrived “not their problem”. They’re not going to take it up my complaint with the Uber - WHO THEY CHOOSE TO DELIVER THEIR FOOD, so then it’s up to customer isn’t it? Save your money & TIME order from someone else!!!

Food is ok nothing special Would prefer if they can accept card payment instead of expecting customers to pay by cash.

Visited this place for first time as a family greeted by a sign at the entrance cash only happens to be a cash machine right outside however charges a fee. Was seated behind a wall and forgotten about no menus had to get up to get attention of staff. Ordered the mix chicken and lamb boti and the Rasta rice and 6 piece lamb chops and two kids meals. My wife found a dead fly in her rice disgusting informed staff they offered to make a fresh one and said he wouldn’t charge on the bill felt uneasy about manager came to reassure us the rice was being made fresh and tried to explain how this happened I tried the lamb chops which were stone cold raw and barely cooked I called a staff member over and she checked and agreed it was cold offered to make new ones I declined I just wanted to leave I asked for the bill. The manager became defensive saying he checked with kitchen staff and they say food was served hot and it must have just got cold could not believe what I was hearing poor customer service embarrassing for them ended up paying £30 not sure what for would never visit this place ever again left Hungary and concerned I would be sick claims to have a 5* hygiene rating I find this hard to believe.

We came in- wasn’t too busy- were shown to a table- asked table to be cleaned due to having a child with anaphylactic allergies (we had bought in our own safe food with us- as staff couldn’t ensure any cross contamination even for the chips- even though they are supposed to be fried separately and nothing else to be fried in the same oil)- I was told to clean the table myself?- ok fine rather do it myself but no need for the unprofessional attitude. Then asked for water- which we then had to ask for 2 more times before it was given Asked for crayons for the kids as they had been waiting patiently for a while now and were getting bored- which again had to ask for several times before finally being given. Kids were starving by this point as we had to wait more than 45 minutes before we eventually got our food- again the place wasn’t busy- but very disorganised and uncoordinated- but only half of us got our food had to wait further for the rest to get theirs- half the food was cold, tasted bland and just horrible and the other food was over cooked and burnt- not a very good experience at all. To pay its cash only (clearly tax dodge)- very inconvenient for customers. Seriously not worth it. There are better places out there.

They don't honour the competition winners by the looks of it, was the only person to predict the 11th round and like/share the post for £100. Still no announcement on the winner....🤔

Avoid!! Place has gone downhill SO much. The food is always lukewarm. We always order the mixed grill & lamb flambé chops.. the lamb chops barely have any meat on them. Each chop has less than 1-2 baby bite of meat on them. They are tiny. The lamb and mixed grill have no grilled taste to them whatsoever. It barely has any flavour - the flavour comes from the sauce just poured on top. The meat is so bland. It’s obvious the food is not cooked fresh. It’s just warmed through and sent out. There is no grill marks on the meats & it looks boiled or oven baked. You can’t call it mixed GRILL or FLAMBÉ chops because that is totally false. Neither cooking technique is applied. It was one of our favourite places to dine couple years ago but this past year it’s been getting worse. The reviews on here speak volumes. Such a shame. Sort it out Manjaros!

I ordered 2 kids parmos with chips for a 7 year old and 8 year old, the food tasted good, but my problem was the size of the kids chicken parmos, each parmo was no bigger than 3 Mcdonalds nuggets connected together and flattened to 0.5cm thick! Kids were still hungry after it and I had to buy them another burger each. If that's the size of a parmo for £5.95 I think it should be called a toddler's parmo and chips!!! I've had the adults parmo in Manjaros which is 10 or 11 pound, the kids parmo is half the price, so you would expect half the portion of a normal chicken parmo, but I would say this was probably 25% the size of a normal Manjaros parmo. I've ordered kids parmos before which were perfectly sized but the consistency is non existent. Tip try using a set weight of chicken that way they won't end up different sizes on different days!

Absolutely fantastic. Best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Pleasant staff. Quick service. Food was absolutely brill..

Waited 1 hour nachos came with main course and the portion was small. Spoke with 4 staff to chase order, other tables also complained, atmosphere was very chaotic. Was over charged for dessert which manager first disputed .Gave manager/owner feedback, he made no eye contact, looked totally uninterestred and did not even apologise once. Received better service years ago. Will never go again and would never recommend.

Me and my family had gone yesterday for the first time in 2 years, the last time we’ve had a great experience and food was great. But this time we ordered the jumbo platter but the chicken on one of the platters was Luke warm you could tell it wasn’t heated up properly. No spice or taste to it. And today I’ve gotten food poisoning from it so I really do not recommend wasting your money here unless you like getting food poisoning🤣 the customer service was great but that doesn’t defeat the purpose on how terrible the food is prepared.

Food was nothing special had the platter and Parmasan. Food tasted re heated not fresh. Only thing was fresh was the chips. The flavour on the meat on platter was something you would get on a all inclusive holiday in Egypt or Tunisia. Not my...

Have been here a few times and have always loved it. Portion sizes are great, always busy but quick service and staff are friendly.

Called to check if they had the government discount and was told that they do. Once I reach after driving 30 min I find out that the person on the phone didnt know. So basically the workers dont have a clue what their doing. Then...

The place was quite busy, after checking in, giving out details and having a temperature check, we were told to take a seat even though there were over 5 tables free, a waitress walked past several time’s asking us if someone had checked us in,...

During this pandemic we’ve really missed going out and seeing other people’s faces, so we decided whilst we were in town to go and eat in a nice place, and Manjaros was highly recommended by friends and family so we decided to give it a...

*Anyone who is going to manjaros on the discount days read below* Yesterday I went to manjaros and we had to wait over an hour outside and people after us were let in first , a man in a wheelchair had waited 2hrs outside and...

Amazing food, professional friendly staff, quick service, great menu!!! Well organised place! We all love it!

Love the food, the sauces are amazing and can help yourself when eating in. Generous helpings at very reasonable prices. Pleasant decor, lot of staff at hand. Good customer service. Recently had an experience where the food ordered for home delivery was cold, on calling...

Visited the restaurant recently and was highly impressed by the great service offered by Abdul Qayum. He was very polite, sincere and provided a professional service. The food offered was great and really tasty. Would definitely visit again and recommend to family and friends.

I ordered food on uber eats I found a bottle lid on my food my colleague phoned the restaurant they didn't even apologised they said the manager is not here we will phone you later. I am disappointed with their reply I almost choked and...

This restaurant was strongly recommended therefore when I checked the menu, I was really looking forward to visiting. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and I thought, yes this is very good, our order was taken and we waited quite a while, they really whet...

Came on a Sunday evening with a group of friends. We ordered a chicken platter with 5 sides. The chicken was overcooked and the breast was dry. There was nothing Caribbean about it and i would say the likes of Peppes and Dixy probably do...

Lovely food and brilliant service. Very friendly staff excellent staff work hard lovely variety had an energy very family friend

Amazing and tasty food and great service. Always staff on hand and would definitely recommend to others. Staff was friendly, was served by Fathia and she was very kind. Would come again.

Loved the food and the staff were brilliant. my only gripe is the doggy tax evasion or money laundering tactic of cash only. Come on, how in this day and age are you cash only?

Wanted to try this restaurant on many occasions, I’d start by mentioning if you are looking to visit this restaurant Friday-Sunday and have a large group as we did to call and book in advance as it gets VERY busy!! The service was great and...

We went there as a family and enjoyed the experience. The food was piping hot and very tasty. The service was excellent, especially Fatiha, who was always smiling. The staff were always on hand to help and asking if everything was alright. Cannot fault the...

Amazing food, good portions and brilliant service one of my favourite places to visit parking can be a nightmare.

The food was amazing. The Service was brilliant By fathia .enjoyed chickens Parmesan always come here

Visited here with work colleagues. I had the chicken parmesan which was very dry. There wasn't many staff around, which meant that we were waiting awhile to order, and then we also waited awhile to pay the bill. It is only cash only which was...

Staff service not so good as getting our order wrong. Food quality is not so bad as pretty tasty and flavoursome. Defo would go back for food again. Got my kids takeout order wrong as put in cups but we asked to take out, she...

Good food good service only one drawback like with most places in Birmingham cash only maybe everybody in Birmingham is scared of the HMRC.

Manger need more training not friendly refuses birthday music food experience and not given students discounts trying to RIP off this is second time not coming back again. Warning careful

i enjoyed and loved my meal. got nachos at the begining then got pasta. the size of the portion was so big i couldnt finish it, but was very tasty and i would definitely come back,

We went last nite for a meal with all my mates and children I really have to say the service has really improved the staff really catered for us the children loved it. Haven’t been there for six months I have really missed the chicken...

The food was lovely however the service is non existent. Had to ask for water 5 times. Had to ask for plates 3 times. Most of the staff are young and inexperienced. We received water when we finished the meal. We had to then ask...

I've been many times and the food has always been excellent. The only down point to this restaurant is the uniform that the girls wear. Its very unprofessional and inappropriate for a daytime family restaurant.

Worst food. Poor management. Pervy staff. Quality of food is frozen and reheated . Its not edible and its run by incompetent people

So we went her after a while and noticed a few things changed and were taken off the menu. But other than that the food was really good and service was okay not the best but then again the restaurant was really busy so can’t...

Visited manjaros yesterday, absolute delight. Very good food. Served pretty quickly. Family loved it. Sauces were nice. Only suggestion to management would be better ventilation... It was bit smoky inside. Otherwise was good experience.

Great family restaurant in Birmingham with some amazing food! There is also a cash point outside the branch if needed.

A group of us attended last week to celebrate Ramadhan, the place was extremely busy on a Sunday night which added to the buzz of the place. If you have never been to the place think of it as Nandos meets the Caribbean! The staff...

Visited for lunch while in Birmingham. Read a few bad reviews before going but wanted to give it a try myself before judging. Have to say I felt a little disappointed. They seemed to be short of staff as there was only one waitress who...

Please do not visit this place. It’s cash only (we wonder why) the food is horrible and Luke warm, and the service is depressing. Firstly, the menus said 3 courses for £10, but they class a drink as a course (stupid right?) we were told...

The first year I went to manjaros they did this course meal for £10 per head which includes starter, main and any 3 scoops of icecream of your choice which was fantastic tbh for Ramadan. The year after they did the same but only vanilla...

I haven't got much to shout about here. Manjaros is clearly different to your usual restaurant around this area. The staff are attentive and we didn't have to wait long for our order to be taken, so no complaints there, but I was a little...

Made a reservation however when I got to Manjaros they sat me right next to the kitchen without consulting me first and then stated that all other seats were allocated although no one else was here yet. Also as I went during Ramadan there was...

Went for a lunch during the week with my friends, had chicken Parmesan with pepperoni and it’s tasty and huge ! I tasted the waka waka which is a garlic mushroom sauce that was nice as well Portions are biiiiiig! Salad is getting smaller every...

Went today for the first time. The food was delicious and we were served by a lovely girl called Nisha. Super friendly and very good service overall. Defo recommend :)

Been here before. The food is always amazing however the food takes so long to come even when it’s not busy. The waiters/ waitresses r friendly but don’t have a clue! They always miss something on this occasion they missed out my child’s meal which...

This is things guys food & service awesome, staff are great so far so good, yesterday as usual food & service was faults less but when I went to pay staff on till sad we don’t take card only cash, I went to tell him...

Went to this place last night whereby we ordered bean burger and half chicken. Food took ages to come but when it was served the chicken were the wrong pieces as to what was requested and the bean burger was uncooked and cold. We told...

Firstly we were not greeted at the door. We did get seated quickly once we were acknowledged! Order taken quickly and drinks served. 2 of us ordered a mini mix grill each. Food arrived 3 mins after we ordered so it was obviously pre cooked....

Lovely tasty food I really enjoyed the mini mix grill huge portion on a big plate. Excellent service I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back soon.

We visited for the first time today after so many recommendations. The manager was friendly and gave us a table straight away. The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful. She kept reassuring us and asking if we needed anything else. Service was...

Me and my friend went, order two plates and both shared them. We had mixed skewers, however when the dish arrived we had to ask again what it is, because it looked like a curry! It was nice, but only a very few pieces of...

Visited with family for a birthday meal nice place suitable for families. We ordered a range of things from the menu and it did not disappoint I was mostly impressed with the kids menu as it had a range of things. The only thing I...

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the waiter who quickly got us seated. Within ten minutes of ordering we were served our piping hot food. I would recommend the sweet Parmesan chicken for those who don't like hot food like me otherwise go for the...

This was my second visit here and honestly the quality of the food has improved. Also, the waitress who attended to us was lovely. She welcomed us with open arms, suggested great dishes which me and my friends ended up liking along with the barbican...

Haha so I've reviewed previously and gave this place a really negative review. So it was 2 against 1 so had no choice but to go there again. This time I played it safe and just ordered a BBQ half chicken with chips, and some...

Been a few times, but the last visit was a revelation after getting over the fact they do not serve cheese with a gourmet burger? That's right its an extra £1?after you've forked out £6 for the burger. Now they have decided to charge for...

I would recommend this restaurant. It had a nice feel. Good seating and the ambience was nice too. I went with some friends for a colleagues leaving do and we had a great meal. Bus routes are easy enough to get to it. We tried...

Decent food and service was decent. The only weird thing is that the restaurant is so big but don’t accept card. Even taxi drivers carry a card machine these days.

greeted by lovely staff, Toheed and Neesha provided excellent customer service, who went above and beyond to surprise us with a birthday cake, having been last minute. one of our friends were visiting for the first time and absolutely loved it, she’ll be visiting again!...

Came to Manjaros for a catch up with a friend, went in noticed no parkings however a side street is available and a unnoticeable cash machine right outside to let you know they don’t take card payments..went inside and got greeted nice and sat down....

Food is average. Personally wouldn’t go back. Ordered 3 mushroom waka waka and waitress musta heard discussing this with my family so instantly knew. She however repeated my order and I ended up getting chicken waka waka instead. First I ate it and was confused...

Went to this place looked very nice from outside... food was ok hard to understand got cash machine outside but they won’t accept credit card pay... Food isn’t as good as menu explains or the waiters... service was very slow... Few items missing never go...

I've been to this place a lot and the food and service used to be great. But recently everything has become poor. Recently went here again and the food was poor. They don't have hardly anything for vegetarians, ordered a Cajun wrap, means you're ordering...

Absolutely delicious food and all staff catered to my awkward needs. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants fresh food and great service. Vegetarian friendly

I really enjoyed my girly night here with my friends - ordered the Parmesan cheese and it was absolutely amazing along with the pasta-this is one I’m definitely returning to and the price is very fair and portions quite decent!! Fab choice and yummy.

Food is excellent however Wouldn’t rate the customer service at all.. staff are very rude walking around with phones in hand no customer care.. staff need training as food is worth coming back for but not the customer service

Place isn't worth going to. Terrible food. Cheap and inedible. Staff are disgusting. It is a place for cheap reheated uncooked food.

Was on a business trip, so decided to dine out at this place, first there was nobody at the desk! despite having tables ready, couldn't not understand why we were told to wait, the young girl came over a few times, telling us to wait....

chicken had no taste like it genuinely tasted like nothing. Imagine having water as a solid meal, that’s what it tasted like. If you’re deciding between the chocolate and strawberry milkshake go for the Pepsi as it probably has more taste and might even resemble...

Cold food . Watered down fizzy drinks , food arrived in ten minutes , totally cold , never again ! Sauce bottles opened under air con vents , waiter was asked why the sauce bottles are opened , her response was do you know how...

This has to be one of my favourite restaurants in Birmingham. I love eating here. The food is delicious, I like the prawns as a starter with the rice, and also the rasta chicken and vegetables, I also like the 1/4 chicken sizzler. Great casual...

This was my third visit today at Manjaros in Birmingham. The food was nice as per all my visits here. Each time I’ve visited I’ve tried something different and the food has always been spot on, especially if you haven’t eaten all day. I’ve had...

I ordered a supreme chicken with rice and i could not fault it one bit. The food was absolutely amazing: the flavours, texture and overall looks. Been there many times and they have never disappointed. Very friendly staff and food was fast to arrive. Really...

This place is wow food is very tasty service ok could be better staff need more training very big portion we loved it thank you for lovely hope the service he next time

Today was our second visit to Manjaros and definitely the last. I cannot complain about the food as it was to my taste and enjoyable. I am however not very happy with the service. Staff telling my child that they will be sent to the...

Went here with family, the food was OK had the chicken and mushroom parma and it was absolutely colosall! The onion ring portions are big as well, and so are the chips, for what I paid it was decent but I did notice almost everyone...

Upon arrival I had to wait 15 minutes to be seated and there was no staff around. There were 4 members of staff who had seen us but completely ignored us. Eventually I had to walk up to the front desk and call a waiter...

We visited the restaurant on the weekend I was well Impressed with everything. We have read mixed reviews online so was in to minds if we should come or not I have to say I’m glad we did the we had a table of 10...

Thank u so much Ayesha - you were the reason I liked it there! You wet attentive and considerate. Great customer service!!

We asked the waitress to recommend a dish, she said Chicken Parmesan first mistake!! IT was like the chef had had a fight at home and was taking it out on the guests, that's how bad it was. The pizza was so late and my...

We just visted the preston branch and had a great experience. The manager Shahid and the team especially Salvador and Nasir were very pleasant and welcoming. The staff here are the backbone of the business. The food is amazing and we as a family would...

One of the only places I'd give 5 stars too. Great food and the staff are brilliant. If I'd have a guarantee that I wouldn't put an ounce of fat on my body. I would eat here everyday!! This place is everything you want for...

Couple of starters was out the world. Service from the waiter was good and decor nice. But the owner was arrogant and full of it and slightly rude. If he doesn't pay importance to his customers then one day it might not remain as it...

This place needs to seriously work on their customer service, if it stays this bad this restaurant will be closed within the year. Rude waiters, who completely ignore your requests and try to dodge any eye contact LOL. Food came quick..but that's not always a...
