I enjoy Greek food, and the moussaka here was excellent—highly recommend it! However, due to the behavior of one of the waiters, an older gentleman with white hair, I wouldn’t return. His rude and unwelcoming attitude was disappointing, especially in front of my guests. A younger waiter was friendly and professional, but I can’t accept being treated that way.

We waited quite a while to get menus,I ended up getting up from the table and had to ask a member of staff for some. The food was amazing,when it arrived. One of our party had to ask again about her meal because it still hadn't arrived as we were finishing ours. The staff were all very polite and apologetic for the delay.

We usually go to the one in Stockport but as we were visiting town we decided to give this one a try, so glad we did! Food was unreal, Prawns are the best I've ever eaten, staff were so attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them.

I went to Rozafa with my friend and sister. The food was delicious 😋. I love Greek food. The one thing that puts me off are the extremely uncomfortable chairs. They are hard and not what you expect in a restaurant. There is another Greek restaurant that I Iike on Deansgate and the food is equally as good and the chairs are much more comfortable so I think in future I will have to go there. I am disabled and walk with a stick and the chairs are important as it can ruin my experience in a restaurant.

We went here this evening to celebrate our parents 34th wedding anniversary, and since they like Greek they offered to pay for the celebration. We were greeted by a somewhat grumpy old man and he seemed reluctant to seat us at first, assuming we didn’t have a reservation, I think. Then we said we have a reservation and he asked for the name, then sat us down. The other staff was friendly and took our orders. We waited about 20 minutes for our food which isn’t too bad. Then our food arrived, it was the grumpy manager. I felt a little embarrassed when he, I think, overheard us talking about the waiting time and had to explain that the fish took a while to cook to perfection. The food itself was okay, nothing too special. My wifes chicken seemed to be burnt though, and my fish was slightly overcooked, but it was still delicious anyway. The salad was alright but one thing, there was too much rice. Another thing is that my wife told me she kept smelling a foul odour the entire time, at first she thought it was the toilets, but when she went there they smelled nicer than the restaurant. We never found out what the smell was. And also, like another comment mentioned, there was a woman in the kitchen who kept shouting at the staff. Im not sure if it was meant to be good or not, because Greek people can be a bit dramatic like all southern europeans are. Lastly, the menu online seems outdated. The one in the restaurant was a bit more expensive, as you can see the kotopoula kokkinisto cost £20.90 on my receipt and the menu, but online it says £18.90! How is this possible? Please update the menu because I actually spent more than expected. The rest was pretty good, the coffee was delicious and the greek yogurt as well! I might come back here someday.

A great Greek restaurant opposite Manchester Town Hall. The waiters are super attentive, the food is very tasty and authentic and I have discovered the "dolmades" which are like rolls of rice with herbs wrapped in vine leaves that I would definitely return for if I pass through here again. Super recommended.

Rofaza, located in Manchester city center, stands out as one of the best Greek restaurants in the area. From the moment you step in, both the food and the staff transport you straight to Greece, delivering an authentic Mediterranean experience. The dishes are as genuine as they come, capturing the true essence of Greek cuisine. Despite the high quality and authenticity, the prices are reasonable, making it an excellent value for the experience. It's no surprise that Rofaza ranks among your favorite restaurants in the city, offering a memorable dining experience.

Excellent Greek restaurant. We booked on Saturday and had a very warm welcome from the gentlemen who allowed us to choose our table. We opted for outside as it was really warm. We ordered mixed mezze for 4 people to start with stuffed vine leaves, feta salad, sausage, pitta breads, olives, hummus and said we all liked chicken and lamb so we had a selection of skewers, rice, chips and roast potatoes for main. Everything was delicious and served with humour and a smile! We all had dessert, a mix of 4 different ones. Baklava still my favourite ♥ We all drank wine and had complimentary ouzos. A fantastic place with lots of laughs!

It's not the best Greek food. The only thing that was up to standard was the houmous and pitta bread. Rozafa, a word of advice when you are selling beverages. Please don't be a cheap skate.. if I buy a glass of coke for three or four pounds, I really don't expect aldis essential. It was flat, warm, and tasted awful I sent my beverages back, and the waiter came back with the sed beverage The king prawns were half decent. The vines were not up to standard. Basically, the food wasn't to my palette ..

Phenomenal food. Highly recommend the swordfish steak. This is excellent. The potatoes are flavourful and well cooked (nice crusty yet soft skin, and really soft on the inside). The swordfish itself is fresh and tender. The butter garlic and dill on top add for a phenomenal aroma and taste. Also very well salted. Got the melizanosalata for starters. A bit oily but flavour is 🤌 pizzas are nice, especially with the oregano.

Hello Our requests were Mixed grill plate with three types of meat kebab, awsal and chicken Vegetable moussaqa Greek salad Regarding the food, it was delicious, except for the salad, which was below standard, and it was cut into large pieces once. The moussaka was delicious with rice, and its quantity was enough for two people. All of the grills were very delicious, but the food in general was lacking in salt. The service, on the other hand, was not good, and we did not have to ask him for recommendations. He said, “All of the menu.” We told him, “Okay, things without pork or alcohol.” He said, “Chicken,” which means, in brief, that he is not sitting around cooperating. The atmosphere of the restaurant was strange. You felt like you were stuck in time, as if you had returned to 2010. My songs are annoying, very simple style.

The place vaguely recalls the classic Greek taverns. The food was quite good (we ate vegetarian, I can't evaluate other types of dishes). The problem is the service. In particular the absolute lack of friendliness, not to mention the unjustifiable rudeness of one of the two waiters (probably the owner, otherwise his presence at the tables would not be explained). I wouldn't stay here again and wouldn't recommend it. If you have children, don't go. Impossible to ask for half a portion of skewer. Indeed, the proposal alone seems to have extremely offended the waiter who angrily offered us spaghetti (apparently the most popular dish among the children who frequent the restaurant). Being Italian we were careful not to order pasta in a Greek tavern in Manchester. And we kindly pointed this out by saying that we prefer to eat spaghetti at home. At that point the waiter's annoyance reached very high levels. We folded in a basket of pita and after lunch we took my daughter for ice cream. In short...

Food is tasty and fresh. However this is the third time i have been there and always ordered the fish meze for two and i noticed the types of food you get and quantity has changed, but not for the better. This last meal i had on 18/05/24 was less enjoyable and I struggled to finish it as they give limited to just potatoes and no salad for the main. The fish was somewhat very oily for the main. But the atmosphere was brilliant.

Family birthday and I cannot fault the meal, atmosphere and entertainment. All the staff looked after us really well. The food was tasty. The beer and wine flowed. Why am I only giving 3 stars? The bill came and a service charge was added. I thought this fair for the service we had. It also saves you from wondering how much to tip. What ruined the evening for me was that one of the senior serving staff took me to one side and asked for a tip in cash! The barefaced cheek of it. I’d have understood his concern had they not already added one. Left a sour taste on the mouth I won’t be returning.

I have read previous reviews and was therefore looking forward to a special birthday meal. I was severely disappointed. I ordered the Rozafa special, a selection of three kebabs, my wife ordered the Halloumi kebab. Firstly when hers arrived it was just warm but strangely instead of onions or peppers the halloumi was interspersed with leeks. The leek was tough and undercooked. My three kebabs along with the chips were also just about warm. The lamb kebab was really tough. The hot and spicy kebab was far from it, the chicken kebab was passable. I left more than half my meal but no one bothered to ask if everything was alright. Our first and only visit.

We were welcomed very well and asked "What table we would like" and were given the menu. We ordered the meal that we wanted. On arrival of the meals, everything looked very nice until my partner and sister started their meal and found both of the meals were cold. called the waiter and he said "sorry" and took the meals away. we waited and the meals came back slightly hotter than before. Cold plates were the reason for the meals being cold. This was explained to the owner who was asking why we had not paid the service charge. We explained and his reply was" we do not have hot plates as people complained about burning their hands".

The food itself was quite good. However, our dining experience was extremely poor due to the rude service from our waiter. While it's possible there was a communication barrier, his lack of professionalism and unpleasant demeanor negatively impacted our evening. In contrast, we noticed the younger servers attending other tables seemed much more amiable and professional in their interactions. Despite the high price point for our meal, the disappointing service from our waiter left us with an overall terrible impression of the restaurant that evening. The delicious food was unfortunately overshadowed by the subpar front-of-house experience.

My wife & myself ate in Rozafa tonight. From the moment we entered the staff were friendly & helpful. We chose the house red wine & it was a nice smooth easy drinking red wine. For starters I had the selection of sausage & my wife had the king prawns in white wine. Both dishes were lovely. My wife’s King prawn dish especially. For main course my wife had Lamb Souvlaki & I had the house special dish Rosto (shoulder of lamb in a tomato based sauce) we both had Greek roast potatoes with our dish’s. Both dish’s were excellent & very generous in size. My dish seemed to have almost half a lamb! Unknown to us a guy turned up to entertain us, playing his mandolin. Plenty of clapping, dancing & singing with the odd plate being smashed ensued, much to the merriment of everyone. We had a fantastic night. Great food, great music & great hosts. Next time we come to Manchester we will definitely book here again 😊

We had Tzatziki and Halloumi for starters, then Mousaka and Swordfish with chips. It was all really nice and we were so full afterwards. We only had 1 drink, a bottle of Mythos each.

It must be getting on for twenty years since I first came to Jaffa for lunch. Then it was quite a rarity – somewhere on the “curry mile” that wasn’t a curry place. Now, those South Asian places are the rarity with only a handful remaining, their premises taken over by more recently arrived immigrant cuisines – Middle Eastern, Afghan, Turkish, etc. Along with a profusion of shisha bars. It’s still a vibrant strip of Wilmslow Road but more “kebab kilometre” than curry mile. Good shawarma and mixed mezzes are the key to Jaffa’s continued success and it seemed as popular as ever this lunchtime. We visit a couple or so times a year, combining lunch with a shopping trip to one of the large Asian supermarkets along the strip. Our order is constant. Lamb shawarma – a generous portion of tasty meat, a handful of shredded salad, a dab of very pokey chill sauce and a flatbread. And the mixed mezze – houmous, chickpeas in yoghurt, tabbouleh, chopped salad, chilli peppers, potatoes in spicy tomato sauce and a spiced yoghurt dip. We ordered another flatbread to help that along. Bargain lunch – the food, plus a couple of canned drinks came to thirteen quid.

Although the service was great, we can’t say the same about the food. We went there with hype for the music and the vibe but there was only one more table and no live music so it felt so quiet and with low lighting. About the food, we got the meze which came with greek salad but no olive oil!? It also included spring rolls (very random), a small falafel which was very dry and tzatziki which didn’t feel at all homemade. The chicken skewers and the keftedakia were quite nice but the rest of the food didn’t feel very fresh. Instead it felt like pre-made 🥲.

I came to this place once I called a hidden gem of Greek meals. Sticky tables, rare smiles, however that’s the people. I order chicken wrap, pork main and hallumi salad. Dressing on the salad was terrible, chicken wrap cold, pork cold and undercooked. It was edible, but I don’t think that I will recommend this place to any of my friends.
