Raydan Restaurant in Manchester

A simple restaurant but their food is really good.. The lamb mandi is really great, may God bless them.. You feel like you are at home with them..

Authentic Arabian food, great service, and amazing prices for big portions

I have been many a times and I always try their lamb or chicken Mandi. To me and my friends we love it from here. We also tried the Kunafa, which is not as expected.

The Food was very nice, they also offered soup for free. Unlimited Soup for free., i loved it.

We tried the Lamb Mandi, and while the food itself was quite good, the overall experience was disappointing due to poor service. The lamb was cooked to perfection — tender and flavorful — and the rice was soft and tasty, complementing the dish well. However, the service left much to be desired. When we approached the counter to place our order, the staff member was busy chatting and laughing with his colleagues while we stood there waiting. It felt disrespectful and unprofessional. Later, when I went back to order some extra mandi, I again had to wait for about three minutes while the same staff member was casually chatting with another customer. Although the food was enjoyable, the poor service overshadowed the experience. I had expected a more professional and attentive service, which sadly wasn’t the case. For this reason, I’m unlikely to visit this place again anytime soon.

Rude behavior & just ok food. Not satisfied, don't recommend to anyone, not at all hygienic

God bless The best, finest, and most luxurious Arabic and popular food is in you, Europe Frankly, without any pretentiousness, it is classified as the best food Hadrami rice is very delicious Mendi is abnormal I won't tell you and make you cry The areca is a myth The staff was very helpful, the place was crowded, and they gave us a seat. The food is hot and fresh Thanks And good luck

The food is not good, the restaurant is not clean, and the egg and regular salad appetizers are not good at all. Please correct the errors

Raydan's chicken mohamer - tender, aromatic, and deeply flavorful. A rich, lightly spiced and perfectly balanced. A must-try for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.

Enjoyed the bottomless dripping, Mandi and the broasted chicken 🍗 dish… the sitting is private like the majlis. Will definitely visit again with friends.

Nice quality food! Recommended!

Really tasty food. Mandi and kunaafa is my favourite. Nice seating options to sit on the floor like in the Arabs or sit on the tables.

The lamb is tasty and soft will definitely try it again

Amazing food, with friendly customer service and there Arabian style is unmatched

Chicken smell very bad , had to throw away , seems they kept it there for many days , asking Allah not to forgive them for doing this to the people’s health .

Chicken that smells like something that has been stored for a long time, it seems We threw it in the trash unfortunately May God bless them with this poisonous food

We use to order from this restaurant ,but today order was horrible with a very bad smell for the Mandi chicken ,their chicken looks damage not fresh with low level hygiene and storage requirement for this kind of meat witch can cause severe gut infection if it’s damage ,we just throw the food as per picture I will never order from this restaurant

I recently dined at Raydan Restaurant where we tried both the chicken and lamb Mandi dishes, in addition to enjoying the Agda lamb dish. All of them were exceptional. The Mandi was aromatic and flavorful with perfectly cooked rice that absorbed the spices beautifully while both the chicken and lamb were tender and juicy. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The service was friendly which contributed to the overall positive experience.

I visited Raydaan Restaurant and loved their Mandi and Kunafa. The Mandi was flavorful, with tender meat and aromatic rice, while the Kunafa was perfectly crisp and rich. The ambiance was warm, and the service was excellent. A great spot for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine!

This is a great restaurant for big meal's I recommend you go to this restaurant 😋

Raydan Raid Restaurant is amazing in every sense of the word

Good, but if they are developed in local sessions

The food I was expecting did not meet my expectations, otherwise the environment is good and the service is as well fine. Sitting place I like

Tasete was very nice atmosphere was excellent really enjoyed

The best restaurant in Britain The best mandi, pressure and broast as if you were in Saudi Arabia, may God bless it

Massive mandhi plate to share with the fam. Sensational. Lots of meat, affordable yet a really nice way to dine with your loved ones if you’re craving something authentic. Also had the broasted chicken which was injected with their spicy marinade. Juiciest fried chicken breast I’ve had in awhile. Will be back.

The best restaurant in Manchester truly! How delicious Yemeni Ma’sub is! Hala the Kunafa of Palestine! Amazing !!!

Excellent fast service and food. Reasonable priced food True tasty Yemeni food 😋 Very busy !

Found a hair on my lamb mandi! Extremely disappointing experience. I discovered a hair in my food and brought it to their attention. Instead of offering an apology, a replacement, or even a refund, the staff member simply took the plate away without saying much. This level of service is unacceptable. I have reported this incident to Manchester City Council's Food Hygiene to ensure proper hygiene and customer service standards are upheld.

Food was good and tasty, especially a broast is must try item at this place.

Good option and very good price

Don't park on the side road u will get a ticket like I did. Great food with good customer service. Slightly abit expensive. The lamb and broast chicken to die for xxxx

God willing, may God bless you. The broccoli is amazing. God willing, may God bless you. Thank you

Very high quality Arabian food in Manchester

If you really enjoy food with family and kids . This is the place .I Try all food 😋 yummy . Best 👌 is lamb mandi and spicy friend chicken 🐔. Must try

I did not regret visiting it. I came from Leeds on the advice of a friend to try it, and it is really worth a visit throughout my stay in Britain 🇬🇧 I recommend visiting it and will return again and again

I was with my family and we ordered lamb mandi and taste was absolutely delicious and environment was also amazing and was really about arabian style i like it i would recommend that place to at least visit one time 👍

Last time I was disappointed the rice was oily and salad looks like from the day before. I hope you do better because I believe this one of best restaurant in Manchester

For me, the cleanest restaurant in Manchester 👍

This place gave me a food poisoning

The restaurant has a distinct oriental character, profitable seating, quick and active service, delicious food, and the location is easy to reach.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Their work is clean, their food is good, and they are very respectful. I advise everyone in Manchester to try Raydan and not regret it.

They just take time to served good a bit late whenever is crowdy. And other than that food is the best mandi I had in mancheater

Not suitable for family fine dinning...

The place has been great and maintained its food quality and services

Best place I have ever been the food 😋

Tasty Yemeni food. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The service is good and sometimes gets a bit late when the are busy.

Tasty Mandy Would highly recommend

The food comes out very fast considering they are really busy. We visited on Saturday 21st September 2024 around 8pm and the place was full. People were waiting for tables and to place orders. But staff were very nice and helpful. Made us feel welcome. Traditional Arab food. Good quality dishes and large portions. We ordered chicken mandi, broast meal, chips and masoob as a sweet dish to finish off. This was more than enough for 4 of us as we aren't big eaters. You can also get complimentary soup which is very warming and delicious. Just note, you might struggle finding parking, so try looking for something in the side streets where there is 3hr parking (off peak). Check parking restrictions first and don't block neighbours drives. Would highly recommend trying this place if you have time and are in the area. Thank you to the owners and hard working staff.

One of the best halal food in Manchester. Brilliant price as well.

Lamb Mandi tasted good but quantity wasn't enough. Zarbyan was recommended by the server but it didn't look fresh.

Went around 1 PM it wasn't busy. They offer meat stock soup on the house Lamb mandi was amazing, it comes with bread similar to naan. Meat was very tender and didnt really have the lamb smell/after taste, loved it! I didnt really like the Mqalqel as it had the lamb after taste Service is good and food came quite fast It's also reasonably priced as we paid around £30 for mandi, mqalel, drinks, and dessert Overall nice experience would come again for the lamb mandi tenderness -- Here again to update on 2 additional dishes, the kunafa & fish mekhbaza (grilled fish). Both are amazing After going multiple times, sometimes the tables and chairs need cleaning, but the staff responds quickly when you tell them

Alhamdulillah, food is worth the price everytime

No service at all there dead service

Awful customer service ordered a meal but the price did not match what the meal original price shows on the menu so when I was asking why the price was so high even tho on the menu it showed £9 but he was asking £30 something for it he did not want to hear it and was asking me to pay or move over so he can serve the next customer... I would not recommend this place awful experience

Awful place they tried charge me for a meal and charge me double and when I was trying to explain to the worker why am being charged he was confused and was trying to ignore what I was asking and his manager was rude and was asking us to pay or move out the way so they can serve the next customer even tho we did not finish with our order we did not like his rudeness and we would not recommend anyone to go this rude place there customer service is 0 and would not be going there again

The worst service I have ever had in my life I never seeing restaurant like this no service no respect Every where you go u se always customer is first I came across all the way from Birmingham and they treated me un professional way which’s not good zero respect zero service

The mutton lamb and Hanees chicken were not only visually appealing but also tasted incredible. The mutton portion is generous, especially for the pric definitely worth it. I must mention their avocado and mango shake, which is just £3 and absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a Majlis with full privacy, making it perfect for families. The food and staff are excellent, and I still can’t forget the taste of their lamb mandi. Highly recommended!

Awesome and very, very delicious in Britain

The food is good and the prices are reasonable

UNPRETENTIOUS authentic Yemeni restaurant. CLEAN! Generous portion sizes. Thoroughly seasoned, salt content was appropriate. Meat was succulent. Hot and hearty meat soup available at a self serve desk. (Bottomless and turns your mouth yellow🥹) Price———>?? No wonder the restaurant is bustling. ~12£ for massive dishes. Mouth watering ACTIVATED just THINKING about the “ remix”kunafa. Standing ovation 👏 required. Subtle creamy centre, crispy kataifi, exquisite complementary sweet taste (it’s a remix; not mozzarella and condensed milk used in place of syrup) Ample free street parking. Restaurant resembles a flashback from 2002. Don’t let it bother you, the loudness, hustle and bustle, dated seating is inherently part of the experience. Just too000ooo good, I’ll be back

Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices.

The Yemeni lamb Mandi was amazing Meats were very tender. The Mandi rice specifically was very tasty. Unfortunately I have to complain about the service we asked if they had Yemeni tea and they said that they have it - later they said that they don't sell tea. Also had to go several times to the counter to remind them about drinks. Otherwise the atmosphere was ok, we sat in the booth which was very good. Very busy!

Food was really good. Excellent portions. Really nice lamb soup came with the lamb and rice. Really good.

Probably, the best place for chicken & lamb mandi in Manchester.

I had hair dish with some food in it . Not surprised that they didn’t make to 5 food hygiene . They got 3 !

Just amazing. Great meat. Lovely kunafa. Can't beat it

We booked a space to eat in advance and were not told of any time limits on our time. However, after 30 minutes, we were shouted at by multiple staff, including the manager, to leave due to other customers wanting to come in. But we were given no prior notice about this during our booking or when we actually arrived. Moreover, we hadn't even finished our meal. This soured our enjoyment of the cuisine and atmosphere- would not recommend this place due to the lack of respect for the customers.

Atmosphere need improvements...

I usually have zurbian chicken or hameez chicken. If you are looking for rice and flavoured chicken along with roasted onion, go for hameez. If you love flavour in rice, go for zurbian. You can also ask for mayo and ketchup apart from their own sauce, at the billing section.

Excellent restaurant and the best reception from brother Wael Al-Iraqi 🇮🇶..Greetings, Abu Noufal 🇸🇦

A wonderful restaurant with their best dishes being Yemeni Mandi and Brost

Visit this place many time. Their fried chicken broast is nice but the chicken pieces are always way to small and too dry and they charge around £9.5 for 4 pieces of chicken,way too over priced and not worth it, i have complained few time and they says sometime small chicken come but its not sometime but all the time. Kindly think and improve the chicken size. Current size of the chicken pieces are like chicken strips and too dry to eat, hard to shew. Thanks

We order Mandi and it was nice. They forgot to bring all our food and we keep asking again and again. Service not good. Staff can’t handle customers.

Is not the restaurant what we used to know it’s gone down very badly. I spent over £60 Wasn’t worth the money Not even the portion for the food very cold meat and rice. The Chilli supposed to be chilli it was just a water mixed with tomato not even fresh lemon in it. I’m very disappointed

Delicious dishes in afordable prices

The place smell really bad all the time they don’t have ventilation fan I hope they take this review in account

One kf the amazing place to go and enjoy the healthy food the atmosphere and the seating arrangements are fantastic

Best place for middle eastern foods

Wonderfull food and place. The staff were super nice and the food was perfect. The only con about this place is the seating if you are a big group you might find a bit of a difficulty in dining in but other than that this is the place to go for arabic food.

no idea i think this is not for us

One of the worst restaurant i have ever seen ordered deal after 45 mins we left without food and if you look inside you gonna see how dirty it is … Not recommended at all 👎

Nice food. Liked the lamb mandi. Little but plain but tasty.

Rydan in Manchester serves up a delightful Lamb Mandi and flavorful Lamb Stew, with the stew available in generous portions. The addition of okra as a side plate complements the meal perfectly. Their Chicken Mandi is also commendable, while the Grilled Fish offers a satisfying option. However, the Kunafa was only satisfactory. The seating area provides a comfortable and traditional ambiance, complete with private sections for added privacy. However, the restaurant could benefit from a facelift to attract more customers

To be honest, the food and cleanliness are second to none. I ordered Mandi chicken, and to be honest, the chicken is very delicious. God willing, I will return to them again

We were visiting Manchester over Eid and wanted to try this place after a recommendation from a friend. We waiting about 20 mins for a table and then 10 more minutes for our food. We got the mandi and fish. Both were very delicious. Make sure you get the tomatoe garlic sauce from the waiter as it adds a kick to the food especially if you are used to having a bit more spicy food. Overall good experience. The have separate cubicles where it is nice to sit with your family. Clean toilets and facilities as well

Raydan is a family favourite. The most authentic Arab food in Manchester. We order mandi platters for parties from here too and everyone loves it. It can get very busy as the food is so good so I'd advise going off peak times. Their fried chicken is the closest to albeik we have found too with the garlic sauce!

For the second time I let down there. Today I called to book a table as expected to be busy but they said it's fine come without booking. Came there made an order they came back later saying Mendi sold out then we changed to Mhamar and 1 hour later we went to check and they said sorry it's sold out too after waiting an hour we are 4 of us fasting, what a disappointment service. Absolutely never go back again

Amazing Lamb and chicken Mandi. The spicy chicken broast is one of more authentic one. A must try. The traditional floor seating option for families are also plus.

I congratulate them on their restaurant being the best restaurant in Manchester

Raydan Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with their quarter lamb mandi. The meat is cooked to perfection, embodying the essence of authentic mandi cuisine. Each bite is a testament to their culinary expertise. The rice, impeccably seasoned, complements the succulent meat, creating a symphony of flavors. Additionally, their complimentary soup, delightful and generously offered, enhances the dining experience. Moreover, the welcoming staff adds to the overall ambiance, making Raydan Restaurant a must-visit for those seeking a memorable culinary journey.

Mandi is 10/10 waiters are polite the booths and toilets are very clean Ramadan Mubarak

Fulfilling and affordable meals facilitated by a homely atmosphere, catering to both vegetarians, as well as cultural and religious practices by providing floor spaces where one can eat in larger groups and pray.

Food was so nice and fresh the lamb mandi what I ordered was very soft and tasty, i even had chicken but that was like 8/10, on the left hand side of counter there is a soup of lamb which is so yummy. Service wise they needed to improve because they are bit slow and laggy, what you ask they don’t understand they give you something else, but there are good mannered. Atmosphere it was nice family dine inn but you needed to wait for a area because people who finished they sitting and chill you have to wait untill there goo, Overall very nice recommend for family.

This restaurant makes you feel like you are eating at home👌🏼❤️

I have lived in KSA for two decades and tried each and every Yemeni restaurant there, if I would have known that the best Yemeni restaurant is actually in Manchester I would have eaten at Raydan there and then!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, highly recommend!

The worst restaurant in Manchester in terms of service and the employees’ treatment of customers. The food is not good and unclean. The meat is not sheep and is of questionable quality. I hope that the health authorities and officials in Manchester will close this dirty restaurant. The worst restaurant in Manchester in terms of service and the employees’ treatment of customers.

Amazing food, soft tender , melt in your mouth lamb and flavourful rice.

Very nice, great food, I recommend it

We had a mendi 1/4 Mandi lamb today, we brought it to leeds to try it, it was one of the best Mandi we have ever tasted 👏🏽😃 Highly recommended 🙌🏽
