We went to this lovely little restaurant during a weekend in Manchester. The restaurant is located in a very central position, easily reachable on foot. We booked online, you will be asked to insert your credit card as a precaution in case you do not respect the reservation, as it is a very popular place despite the very intimate environment. The staff is friendly and nice, they are extremely helpful and kind throughout the evening. The place is evocative and the menu sublime, one dish better than the other. We can't wait to return and delight our palate in pure Manchester style!

It was a busy Friday night in Manchester & we had already been turned away once as walk ins. When we arrived at Maray they greeted us with warmth & found us a table for two. It was a busy place at 8:00 PM. Lots of happy diners. We settled on pita, baba ghanoush, disco cauliflower, lentils and rice and a fatoush salad. All were simple. All were fresh. All were delicious. Our server was exceedingly charming (we gave him a cash tip of 10 GBP). He guided us to some cocktail lounges to continue enjoying the night. This is a pleasant place for food, drink & conversation.

Had a great night for my first time at Maray, the food was incredible. And a big highlight was genuinely the service. So polite, genuinely interested in conversation and with a laid back friendly manner. Joules (sorry if spelt incorrectly) was a highlight, very welcoming and charismatic! Thanks Maray.

My word, I absolutely loved my meal here, small (actually quite big) sharing plates and heaps of choice and variety. Staff were amazingly knowledgeable on allergens and their cooking practices. Majority of the menu is already gluten free (including the fried chicken!) and is coeliac safe (no reaction at the time of writing anyway!) They really looked after me, food was great and they even had Free Damm 0% GF beer. It was great, I'd happily recommend it to all my coeliac pals! Will be back and in greater numbers.

I visited Maray Manchester with my partner after reading the wonderful reviews on Google. Disco Cauliflower and Falafel were very much worth the hype. Goats Cheese and Pita bread were delicious too. We wanted to try all the bestsellers and were left with no space to try the desserts. Something to try on my next visit! The ambience was cosy and relaxing and the waiter was very welcoming and took very good care of us. Thank you for the wonderful dining experience!

Nice place overall.. the waitress was super nice and very very kind I give her service and personality a 100! The vegetarian food was okay the french fries and hummus were the best. However tbh the chicken was not good at all,,so tasteless and very oily but they were kind enough to take it off the bill as they were very understanding ♥️ also there were some decorative dried flowers in the ceiling just right on top of the table that kept shredding and falling off while were eating 😅it was a little annoying but again overall it was a nice experience.

The food is great, very unique recipes and taste great. However, the waitress' attitude sucks. We finished a bottle of drinking water, asked for more three times, and each time she replied "yeah", then went on to doing her own thing cleaning up other tables, completely ignoring our request. At the end I asked her for the bill and also some more drinking water, and she replied "OK", then came back with the paying terminal only, still no drinking water, and went away to do her thing. I will not come back for this type of service no matter how good the food is. And then I reviewed the e-receipt after I went back to the hotel and found out they overcharged us.

OUTSTANDING!! Maray is my new fave I have been wanting to go to Maray ever since I heard about the disco cauliflower. But WOW it exceeded my expectations and more. The full meal was absolutely phenomenal and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection. The warm pitta with garlic on was amazing to dip into all the wonderful sauces on each of the dishes. It truly was amazing. Will be returning very soon !

We recently visited this restaurant with high expectations. The service was moderate. The food, while presented beautifully on the plates, didn’t quite live up to its promising appearance. The flavours were underwhelming, and I've had much better options in Manchester. That said, I did enjoy the falafel plate, which stood out as the highlight of the meal. However, aside from that, there wasn’t much that would entice me to return.

The mood was just right for chit chatting (i hate when the music is too loud and u have to shout over each other) but this was perfect. place felt busy but not sweaty or overcrowded, plenty of natural light and spacious. The food… EVEN BETTER. incredible portion sizes for the price and the DESSERTS 🥵🥵🥵 do not sleep on the bread&butter pudding and baklava cheesecake. Although would deffos recommend sharing…. very dense and huge portion sizes; definitely not a bad thing!! an incredible selection for veggies and vegans!💗 And to top it off: the service. God bless our lovely waiter, Morgan from Wales! big UP🔫🔫 so fast and attentive, nothing was too much of a hastle, and just all round good vibes?!! highly highly recommend and happily a 5/5 for me which doesn’t happen often. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (sadly no pics as embarrassing with the in-laws)

Absolutely phenomenal service, food, and drinks. My partner and I were here for our anniversary this evening, and the staff there absolutely made the evening with looking after us. There was a minor issue with food coming out to us- it was solved immediately and comped off our bill. The food we got was some of the best Middle Eastern food we’ve ever had- the falafel was incredible, as was the cod loin. The dessert of Baklava cheesecake had absolutely no words to describe it other than it’s a must for every time we come back. Leaving the restaurant happy and extremely full. Thank you all for a lovely night!

Maray is a fantastic place for small plates in Manchester. The food is excellent, with a wide variety of plant-based options (with a dedicated menu), which includes the best hummus I’ve ever had. Service is quick, friendly, and personal, without feeling intrusive. The space has a cool, modern atmosphere, great for anywhere from 2 people, all the way up to a large group. The only slight niggle is the lack of acoustic padding on the ceiling, so it can be quite difficult to hear the person across the table from you when it gets busy! I highly recommend the Disco Cauliflower, Roasted Broccoli, and the Falafel with Hummus. All are great plant-based dishes. Will definitely return next time I’m up north!

Fantastic experience. Pretty much totally gluten free and allergen-friendly. VERY tasty small plates, our fave was the braised carrots. Gluten free fried chicken was a treat for the mrs. Lovely wines, local craft beers. Totally hit the spot. It was busy, great atmosphere, very friendly staff and not terribly expensive. Style was like Ottolenghi on steroids. Only wish there was one nearer to home in Henley on Thames!

Exceptional service and the food is out of this world. The portions are surprisingly big and perfect for sharing. We struggled to finish six small plates and one flatbread between two. The falafel, the cauliflower bhajis, braised carrots, and roasted broccoli were seriously delicious. The sea bass was cooked to perfection. Everything was perfectly seasoned and felt authentic. The dishes come at different times which actually makes for a wonderful and surprising dining experience. The serving staff were so friendly and attentive, and everything just flowed. We shared the chocolate and coffee ganache for dessert - a huge portion that we couldn’t finish between two. Almost all of the menu is suitable for coeliacs, and they appear to accommodate most allergies and dietary preferences.

Visiting Manchester with my partner, and we found this place recommended on a list of places to eat in Manchester online. We emailed ahead (on the day of) as I have many allergies, and needed to know if they could cater for me. I had some emails back and forth, and a phone call, with the manager (Amy), who was very helpful and spoke to the chefs to sort out a list of dishes I could eat! I was very grateful that theh were able to sort this out in the space of an afternoon before we came in! When we arrived, our server told us they were coeliac, and so understood my stress and anxiety around going out for food and they were very thoughtful and kind when taking my order (and when I had multiple follow up questions to double check things). The bar were also very attentive and checked every ingredieng of both our cocktails meticulously to make sure I was safe. The food was incredible, I don’t get to go out for meals very often and this was such a treat for me. We had the flatbread and the hot dips and pickles (the dips are Hot but delicious), sweet potato and carrots (both of which the kitchen modified slightly to ensure they were safe for me!), lamb kofta, and my partner had the disco cauliflower, which I couldn’t try unfortunately but he said was fantastic! Our favourite dish was the carrots:) Every aspect of this place was fantastic, I can’t thank the kitchen, bar, and our servers enough. Will definitely be back if we visit Manchester again. (ps. apologies, we couldn’t wait to tuck in to the food so I think the carrot pictured has already been partially eaten haha)

The first dish (spicy crispy kale) was delicious, but 3 other dishes (roast aubergine, roast brocoli, smacked cucumber) were the poorest food I have ever had in a restaurant. It’s sheerly poor and overpriced. Everything was flooded with oil and thick sauce, and tasteless. The cucumber was supposed to be fresh therefore crunchy, but it tasted like a failed marinade, as if the cucumber had soaked up water. It tasted very strange, the skin was not green but almost brown. The roast brocoli was also almost brown, overcooked in water then grilled, served in a sea of tasteless, thick sauce. To make it even worse, a bottle of *filtered* water which had been proposed as if it was table water turned out to be for 3£. I paid 49£ for a meal which I could have prepared myself much better. It would have cost me no more than 20£ including drinks. And, none of the 4 staff said a word to me when I was leaving although they were super nice when I arrived and was being served. This aftertaste spoils the whole experience sadly.

We went to maray yesterday for the first time and we absolutely loved every minute! The food is incredible. Literally everything we ordered was so delicious, on we ordered things we wouldn’t normally necessarily go for - but it was so so good. The disco cauliflower that I’d read so many reviews about didn’t disappoint either - how do you make it THAT good?! The cocktail I had was also delish! Now to mention allergies - it’s usually an absolute nightmare for me to eat out with a dairy and soya allergy (not lactose intolerant like so many people assume, it’s an allergy to anything dairy!). This restaurant goes above and beyond for people with allergies and even their statement on their approach to allergies is so refreshing - they want people with allergies to feel comfortable and enjoy their food like anyone else ! THANK YOU - 99% of restaurants just say eat at your own risk. They have a really useful app which allows you to select what you’re allergic to and it filters out what you can’t have and leaves what you can - why every restaurant don’t do this I just don’t know because it’s just so much easier for everyone involved! The girl with the copper hair who waited on our table was so lovely and even helped me with a slightly strange breastfeeding request!! Just 10/10 all round. We will most definitely be back. Thank you again for such a fab experience.

They recommended 2-3 small plates each but honestly they were not that small! When we came to pay at the end it was the easiest bill splitting experience I’ve ever had, the app they use on the handheld card machine is fantastic, I think it was called Yeti?

I recently had the pleasure of dining at maray and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by James. From the moment we walked in, James greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Throughout the meal, James went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. His extensive knowledge of the menu helped us navigate through the delicious options, and his recommendations were spot on. Not only was he attentive to our needs, but he also anticipated them, making sure our glasses were always filled and our plates cleared in a timely manner. What truly stood out about James was his genuine passion for hospitality. It was evident that he took pride in his work and genuinely cared about providing each guest with a memorable experience. His friendly demeanor and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. In addition to James' impeccable service, the food at maray was outstanding. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the presentation was simply stunning. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. Overall, I cannot recommend maray enough, and James deserves special recognition for his outstanding service. Dining at maray with James as our server was truly a highlight of our evening, and we cannot wait to return for another exceptional meal.

What a great restaurant. We went at 18:30 on a regular Tuesday evening and had a fantastic experience. It started out quite quiet (as you may expect on a Tuesday) but slowly filled up and ended up full by 20:00 creating an ambient, comfortable, and relaxed buzz. We had whipped goats cheese and cauliflower bhajis off the mezze. And disco cauliflower, falafel sharer, spiced lentil and rice mejadara, fries, sea bass, fired chicken, and lamb kofta, and an extra pitta. A great selection being the perfect amount of food to fill us all up and very reasonably priced. The lamb kofta and disco cauliflower particularly stood out, and were especially difficult to share! All accompanied by Track brewery beers on draught completing an perfect evening out.

Delicious food, great variety of vegetarian choices! Love the disco cauliflower and the falafels are some of the best I’ve ever had! Whipped goats cheese is one of my favourite mezze dishes ever. Love the cocktails, they’ve clearly been thought about and constructed with Middle Eastern flavours. Overall fantastic!

I was just looking for somewhere that offered gluten free dinner in Manchester and stumbled across this place and I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely incredible, my partner and I ordered four plates to share and every single one was amazing. The cocktail I ordered, the ‘Le marais martini’, was also perfect. It’s on the more expensive side for the portion size, but so worth it for the quality. One of my favourite restaurants to date!

Everything here was excellent, staff were well trained and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and were comfortable making recommendations. The food was well cooked and creative the menu is well designed and Maray is a good example of tapas or small plates working really well.

Disco Cauliflower & The Falafel Sharer are 2 definite must tries when eating here. The fried chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had (without the sauce) The sea bass was tasty as was the baklava cheesecake. The only thing that let the meal down were the fries that were clearly just frozen chips.

We arrived just as it opened. It was very quiet but within 20mins it was bustling. The food was so tasty and this was my first experience of Middle Eastern cuisine. I went with a friend and we chose 3 dishes each to share. I would definitely recommend. And look forward to booking again. The disco cauliflower was my favourite oh and the cauliflower Bharjis.

Brilliant atmosphere. Service, food and sheesha is impeccable. Defiantly the place to be on a weekend for a night out or during the week if you just want to kick back and relax while getting some work done.

I had the pleasure of dining at Sultan Ahmet Grill Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the professional hospitality provided by Rahime. Her warm and attentive service truly elevated our dining experience. She was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Rahime's kind demeanor and genuine care for her guests made the evening unforgettable. The food was amazing and very tasty Thank you, Rahime, for your exceptional service! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return."

Unfortunately, I'm giving it three stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Why? They've chosen to charge higher end wine prices, but don't have the quality to match - £42 for a low grade wine. Principally, I can't agree with that - it's a deterrent to eating there again. I never select my wine by price - I'm happy to pay anywhere upwards of £60 for a good bottle of wine for the table. But if I'm paying for it, I do expect quality wine. And at £42 for a cheap and bitter Malbec, you've got it so wrong. I hadn't looked at the price, but by its bitter taste, I expected to be paying £26, max. I was stunned to receive a bill of £150, £42 of it from the malbec. Either the person selecting your wines doesn't know wine, or you've simply accepted a wholesaler recommended choice and they've screwed you over on price. Furthermore, although the food is delicious, your overall pricing is on the higher end per head, but your service simply doesn't match it. There's nothing wrong with the service staff - they provide a run of the road restaurant service. But you're not charging run of the road - if you want to charge higher pricing, you have to provide the higher quality service. Which you don't. Overall at £150 for two people, I just don't see the dining experience is worth that. Had it been £100, I'd have returned again. At £150, I think you're overcharging hugely for what you provide and simply aren't operating in that price range. Based on that, you wouldn't see me again - there's far better restaurants in Manchester at a more appropriately priced level for their quality and higher level of service.
