Roots Restaurant Manchester in Manchester

Nice food and clean environment.

Great music and friendly people 👌

Amazing 👏 I enjoyed it so much . Dj is amazing . I will be back in 2 weeks time

Food was unbelievably amazing, venue clean and modern, staff was brilliant. Will definitely recommend anytime and be back

We had a mini-reunion at Roots Restaurant. We were received very warmly and our request for private area for 22 was quickly provided. The food was exceptional, delicious and very generous portions. We all tried each other’s meal and I tasted Nkwobi for the first time- Roots have set the standard for any future Nkwobi I will have. Being an alumnus of the same Medical college, uncle Bodun, as the staff call him, stopped by to say hello and surprised us with a gift on the house, Thank you! My pepper soup was just as I requested! I very reluctantly shared my puff puff, still I was so full I had to pack my main dish home with me. The ambiance was relaxing, the staff attentive and courteous. We thoroughly had a memorable time. I highly recommend a visit.

Delicious, love their jellof rice

The food is good and the atmosphere is amazing. This is the best Nigeria restaurant I have ever visited. Unlike many Nigeria restaurants, I really enjoy their service with relaxing music. It is devoid of the many noise and rowdiness you see in some Nigeria restaurants. I saw several English people coming to relax and enjoy nice wine. I will recommend this again and again to anyone looking for a nice place to go have a good time. Surely, there is always room for improvement. I hope the management keeps making the necessary improvement to make it a world-class place not only for Nigerians but also for all strata of people to come relax and enjoy.

The was very delicious, and I enjoyed it. I will definitely order again!

Had the pounded yam + eforifo and i started doing the azonto! Will recommend to my friends

Great place to eat. They hit it right on the variety and quality of meals. The Asun was especially a standout too. Highly recommend.

Good afrocarribean place up north. Vibe is great. Awesome mix.

Nice African restaurant and club

It was a group trip at the club and we booked the vip area, it was really hot, I got sick during the party, no ventilation, no fan. And they kept bringing people into the vip area, so it was packed

Absolutely lovely place to be in Manchester

This is the worst soup i have had from root. The Ogbono is not cooked. Not just good at all. I have had your bitterleaf and oha and they are good. Won’t be ordering ogbono soup from you

Great food tasted really really fresh

DJ wasnon point throughout and we had mad fun

One of my best experiences in Manchester

I ordered to the hospital and they just refused to deliver and second day on their website it says they’re open till 4 am and actually they are closed at 11 pm Very unprofessional

Laid back, excellent atmosphere and great music.

Visited here yesterday, Amazing customer service 10/10 and the food was everything i wanted and more. Very tasty, satisfying definitely had to take some home. Would definitely come again whenever i visit Manchester again.

The staff are great ambience is great, but the customer service is bad, the manager also does preferential treatment, which is bad, the restaurant needs a good club PR, the manager can't be the same as the PR.

I usually just get suya when I visit. Each time I go it comes slightly different, but i don't mind too. I do prefer to have more fresh salad, one piece of tomatoe wasn't enough.

I was told about root and had to visit with a friend, It was fun until we were berated out of seats. I felt embarrassed appealing to the service guy. His only excuse is that the place is reserved having lots of reserved seats there with no one on them. We could couldn't find a place to seat. My day was ruined and I had to stay outside until we left.

The rice is very good but the sauce is very bitter it takes like it is undone

Nestled in culinary perfection, this Lebanese gem stands as a testament to exquisite flavors and unparalleled dining experiences. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance transports you to the heart of Lebanon, with warm hues and authentic décor setting the stage for a memorable journey through Lebanese cuisine. Every dish, a symphony of spices and textures, showcases the chef's mastery in crafting traditional flavors with a modern twist. Impeccable service and a diverse menu make this establishment a true culinary haven, earning its place as the world's premier Lebanese restaurant. Love your regular, Sophie

Clean, tidy and large space. Yummy food & great service. Thank you.

The okro soup was really terrible

Quality food, great packaging.

Lovely place for family and friends gathering. Very clean and spacious as well. Food quality was superb and price comparable to other places

Sent the completely wrong meal asked for chicken, got beef. Then no support from just eat to get money back as email trying to respond to does not work! Waste of time and money

Roots is the best African Restaurant in Manchester. I love their Peppered goat meat most and it always exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend that you try it. I do two portions of peppered goat meat together fried plantain.

Great delivery and customer service

Lovely Nigerian African restaurant.

Good food and a pleasant atmosphere to dine.

Given the usual Roots quality I’m used to, the Ayamase was a huge disappointment. The Ayamase was just water, green peppers and some locust beans. Terrible and tasteless.

Nice place for Nigerian and African dishes

Great vibe. But too many grabby "uncles"

Everything was superb! Nice party jollof and nice nsiewu ! It was so sweet especially the nsiewu

Waooo ! Clubing out here is cool. Security is a topnotch

an amazing place to go with friends

Over the top SPICY and IMPOSSIBLE to eat. I thrown it away

There was no jollof rice, fried rice and various items on the menu were unavailable. Only certain dishes were available and the egusi was very salty. The toilets also were grim and looked very unkept. I won’t be recommending as I brought a guest and left very disappointed in the state.

Nice restaurant that converts to a lounge in the evening. Loved it.

The place to be if you want to go have fun, best music and the place is clean. The stuff are friendly

Great weekend hangout in a Club atmosphere. Fantastic DJ and music.

Second time visiting. The food was very tasty and served on time. Great atmosphere, will visit again.

The atmosphere attempted to bring Ojuelegba to Manchester. Fairly priced Meals.

Nice taste of food. And great staff

The soups (okro, efo riro, edikaikon) we got from here were poorly made. They looked and tasted poor. The jollof rice was really good. The sugar and peppersoup was also good. The service was good.

Nice African bar, grill and Lounge.

Terrible service. Sat down and waited 20 mins no one attended to me. Left

The waitress was very polite and gave us good recommendations. It was some of our first times trying African food and we were not disappointed. The goats head, while sounding disgusting, was the most delicious dish of them all. All the dishes we tried were unique. Very good experience, thank you.

The food was never delivered and contacting Just eat was impossible, I had to email them but no reply. I contacted the restaurant but they stated they can’t help either. My money gone but no food. I have seen some reviews now that just eat are scammers, taken your money but don’t deliver on their promise.

Food wasn't good, the drinks and the atmosphere were good.

The staff are polite and friendly

Food was complete rubbish. The meat was not cooked well and couldn’t eat it. Customer service was a total disgrace and unprofessional. Total Rubbish and a waste of money.

Very very very bad place to go to. The woman at the bar and the guy moving around very rude and arrogant beings making customers feel as if they are inconveniencing them. I was asking the lady what the jollof rice is served with, she answered with her back turned on me as if we had argued. My boyfriend ordered soup and he asked for water to wash hands as other restaurants do and the guy answered in a very very rude manner instead of just teliing him that there is a tap for washing hands. I ordered whisky on the rocks, the rude arrogant boss lady brought it with no ice and sort of banged it on my table, fortunately they younger waitresss added ice for me. My experience at this restaurant was very bad and i don't ever want to come back here again despite their okay being okay Africans, work on your customer service approach, this is poor on all angles!

Cool place for African and particularly Nigerian cuisine

Food tasted of soap. Porturn was tiny. Will need a refund. Absolutely terrible food.

Great atmospheric condition to have a chilled Friday and the weekend. Amazing staff members and beautiful musical combinations from their outstanding Disc Jokey. Would recommend and also visit again.

The efo riro was dry, it didn’t have orishirishi... the portion of the pounded yam could be bigger.

Good night out nice atmosphere enjoyed it.

This place is great for Nigerians and aby Nigerian dish. Service needs improvement though.

Portions are poor and for the price I expected better. Food tastes okay at best

Fantastic atmosphere, good food and good music

I and my friends from Ireland and Liverpool were reffered to this restuarant by a friend only to be turned away because of dress code. Tried to explain that we didnt know but the security guys were hostile. The website does even not state the dress code. We left after just buying drinks when they later decided to let us in. Will not refer anyone to this restuant.

Great environment to celebrate with friends, chic and beautiful hang out spot.

The DJ was great, Variety of songs, the service of the bar was deplorable, there was 5 ladies working the bar and it was not crowded but it took 20 minutes to get drinks.

It's fair for an african/carribean club. But they didn't have food on a Friday night

Lovely atmosphere - wonderful service

Terrible customer service, food and drinks. But you can visit for the music (afro music)

I ordered 3 soups and peppered goat meat. This restuarant only brought the soup and skipped the peppered goat meat. By the time i found out about this, the restaurant was already closed and cant be bothered calling the next day. Very appalling.

The food is amazing . Love the grill fish. Just amazing. The place is clean and relaxing.

Great place to be if you wanna have fun. Although you are made to buy drinks but not allowed to take them out. Either you finish or bin it

I've been to Roots previously but this visit was something else. I came on Saturday and despite place being almost empty (2 tables were taken) I was told they got nowhere to sit me down for a meal. Eventually after explaining that I travelled for over an hour I was sat down at dirty table and handed menu. It took staff 40 minutes to come and take my order despite having just 2 other tables to serve. I was made feel very unwelcome and like I was inconvenience. Next time am in Manchester I'll be stopping at different African restaurant.

I don't think this place for everyone I mean not for white or Asian people

Nice place in a serene environment, you would feel all the African vibes here. 👍

Dirty ambience, tasteless food , terrible service.

Very good place to do ur events, a well behaved customer service.

The food was not nice at all. The pepper soup smelled bad and the wasn’t nice at all. The jollof rice looked nice but it wasn’t tasty. I wouldn’t recommend.

The ambiance was lovley and the food was amazing. The customer service was also on point, I would highly recommend this place

Beautiful experience for my birthday. Food, drinks and music was spot on. Will definitely return

Its was an awesome time with my wife

It's a nice place to enjoy but the prices extortion 85 pounds for a 21 pound bottle of Jack Daniels yeah you heald me right

Everything Checked right. Love it!!!

Was more relaxed and comfortable. Clean environment with excellent service.

Done in , the food is real good. Just make sure to tell the staff what you need in your food. If you wish to have little salt or pepper and they will adjust to your liking. Price is good and you can tell them how much you have to spend and they make great choices for low prices as well

Was looking forward to my first Nigerian food experience today but food was bad meat was tough had to put in the bin ,what a wasted £38

Always fun to visit roots. No dull moment

Terrible food. Practically bare bones in a tiny amount of sauce. Shockingly bad. Will never order from them again.

You all wait forever to be served, and for some reason you loses your wristband of vip so call, you may be disgracefully hulled out like a poppers.

Three overall! Focus area for me is speed of service and customer attentiveness. Management boss lady MUST work on her approach and how she speaks with paying customers for real, for real. She has potential for growth there. The rest of the staff are lovely but lacking in genuine people friendliness overall and attentiveness. Music and vibes on Friday and Saturday night are lit. Fried fish and plantain was good enough. One of the staff when asked ' is the meat halal' did not have a clue, she never heard of halal. Please educate your staff. Take note, people skills and efficient service helps bring in more customers through the door. Luckily your music vibes make up to 3.

Restaurant by day, club by night. I had a great time at the club, security was adequate, the people were mature and staff were helpful. Dj had a great mix as well. All round fun.

I enjoyed the food. Attentive staff. I would recommend the outside gets cleaned too

Great food worth the wait. Must have hot pepper fish soup

Chilled vibes. Requires more efficient and courteous staff though.

Where to start, we were moved from our original table due to booking issues, we then ordered drinks plastic dirty cups came, we asked for glasses, the glasses were dirty with lipstick and other things, got new glasses ordered food and asked for starters and main to come out all together they did not, I asked for extra chilli in one dish it was not. We were enjoying the music and someone came to present the bill even though we hadn’t asked for it. Upon the bill we were billed for 2 grilled fish when asking about this they said it was the Prosecco.(please make it make sense). The bill was not worth the food as it had no flavour the jollof was not even spicy. Service was horrendous. Attitude from some of the servers was bad. 0/10 will not be coming again. Then to get out of the building the front entrance was close the side entrance was closed but with no warning I had to ask another customer how to leave whilst my Uber was charging me by the minute. Worst place to eat and for clubbing. DO NOT GO HERE.

Great hangout spot, great night out venue. Great staffs and door staffs. Good business strategies. But if you have a one time celebrity guest, always remember your regular loyal customers, they're the horn of your business. Above all keep up your great vision, shoulders back and smash it

I ordered fishermen's soup only to arrive and was told sorry there is no fishermen's soup. I should have been told so that I don't bother to show up. I then changed to Afang soup. I asked and was told it is fresh leaves only to be served dried afang. I didn't appreciate being deceived when they know quite well the leaves are dried. I didn't enjoy my food. The rice my kids had was alright.
