Safire Restaurant & Grill in Manchester

Had iftar here with mates. Everything was nice and tasty.

Attended for a Ramadan banquet, lovely options.

Food was quite plain and middling. Had the buffet - not worth the price

service is good food is 6/10 Atmosphare 7/10 overal 5/10

Went for iftari they only gave a few dates on a plate per table.. There was no fruit or drink. The queues were big at least 10 mins to get to the food. No soup, the pizza was soggy as they put it in one of those big pots should have been on the hot plate. No noodles, they had cold pasta near the salad bar. £21.95 per person during ramadam not worth it as cannot eat that much when opening fast.

A lovely evening with choice of food and hospitality thanks to furqan and team

I visit Safire every year for Ramadan buffet This year I was so disappointed to see bad management and service No roof afzah or even tap water on table , staff was so reluctant to serve dates that people were picking up dates from someone else’s table to open fast. Food quality has gone down tremendously. Not coming back again

Disappointing and Unprofessional Service – Reservation Was Not Honored I had an extremely frustrating experience when I booked their buffet for iftar. I made my reservation a day in advance, as Saturday was fully booked, and secured a table for Sunday. During the booking call, I clearly stated that we were two adults and a toddler under three, and I requested a quiet corner space, preferably with a couch, for comfort. The staff member assured me that they had a half-couch, half-chair setup, which I agreed to. To avoid any issues, I even called again on the day of the booking to confirm everything, and they reassured me that all was set. However, upon arriving early for iftar, we were shocked when they attempted to seat us at a small table meant for two—completely unsuitable for a family with a toddler. When we questioned this, they simply asked for the name of the person we had spoken to, which, of course, we hadn’t noted, as we never expected such an issue. Instead of taking responsibility for their mistake, they made us wait and ultimately told us they couldn’t do anything about it because they were “fully booked.” It felt as though they were treating us like walk-in customers rather than honouring a reservation made the day before. Their reasoning was absurd—while they insisted they couldn’t change someone else’s booking, they had no issue denying us the table we had specifically reserved. Even after speaking to what seemed to be the manager, the response remained the same. As a so-called solution, they offered to charge us for only one person, as if we had come looking for a discount instead of a proper dining experience. This entire situation was incredibly frustrating, especially happening right before iftar. The lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic customer service was unacceptable. What’s the point of making a reservation if the restaurant won’t honor it? We ultimately had no choice but to leave, as the seating arrangement was impossible. The staff showed no remorse, and the experience left a very negative impression. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a well-organized and respectful dining experience.

We went for iftar. The starter was good. There is prayer room upstairs. The food and desserts were good. The staff were nice and helpful. Recommended.

Went there for iftar buffett. Realy great food options. Fresh and tasty food. But the thing that won me over was the staff. Super attentive and helpful. 5 stars overall

Love this place staff are very friendly food amazing prices ok parking outside

Food was really nice with a good variety of starters and mains

I order I chicken Karahi was really bad chicken boiled seprate gravy made seprate oil poured from used fryer to make it look like Karahi. This way of cooking is for the balti house not for Asian.

It was a wounderfull experience, anyone wants to go I would recommend it.

Food was decent, service was a little disjointed but the people were really lovely. Restaurant could do with a bit of decoration as it looked a bit run down.

Came with the family, very good food and service. Thank you

This used to be one of my go to restaurants when I'm in manchester however I will not be visiting this place again. The service was diabolical and the food standard has dropped off to the next level. My sizzler starter did not sizzle on bit and the fish pakora was undercooked RAW, to top it off I had to wait 25 mins for mains to arrive, I then ordered an extra nan which took 12 mins to arrive by that time the dish was stone cold. I fed this back to the owner who did not care one bit, just looked at me like ive done something wrong when it was his service that was not up to standard. It's unfortunate and I will not be visiting this place again

Services were really kind and helpful. Made sure to check on us when necessary to make sure we had everything we need.

Its a nice experience. Missing one of my favourite waitress Miss Vyshu.

I have great experience with them but specially mention miss Ayesha who give me a great services and suggestion to order a good meal for me.

Travelled all the way from Nottingham after seeing a ticktock video about the place. Was not disappointed at all. The food was delicious and service by SANA was excellent. Thank you Safire for your excellent service.

Safire is my ‘go to’ perfect dining experience. I tend to come here a lot with family. The service, food and staff are always consistently of a high standard and it’s well balanced with the very reasonable prices. There’s no surprise that they’re mostly fully booked and every time I have gone it’s busy but the staff at Safire have a way of making your experience very personable and enjoyable. I highly recommend to anyone looking for all round great food and service.

I like this restaurant and the employees there ❤️

Great service and tasty food. We will be coming back for more!

If I could, I’d give zero stars for the service. I called to book a table, but they said no and hung up before I could ask about allergies. When I called back, they told me they were too busy to answer this question and hung up again. Absolutely awful experience.

Food was amazing and very tasteful and price is quite reasonable, atmosphere was okay quite loud. One of the staff called Aisha was very kind to us and served us in an excellent manner Will definitely visit again.

Food was excellent, staff very friendly. Good value for money.

Muy bonito curry. El cordero en el hueso estaba delicioso. También el saag aloo que disfrutamos de la ranura. Placas vacías Volveremos seguro.

Hire a receptionists or get your phone fixed or take number down. Wanted to book table for 10. Rang numerous times no answer!!!!

Really nice place with great service

This is our go to restaurant, for special occasions to weekend treats. Never disappointed with the food or service.

Great food and great atmosphere. Had to put up with a lot from our rowdy group, but they couldn't of been more helpful.

Beautiful food, really good portion size. Lovely atmosphere. Gem in Manchester

My husband and I came here for a date and the food was really nice, our server yshu was nice and attentive and she made sure we were okay. All the food we had was nicely done and well seasoned. Will absolutely recommend

The food was beautiful with really respectful, helpful service. Must say portion size is huge highly worth the money. 5 star experience

Food was amazing and staff are friendly too

Great food, arrived quickly and lovely staff

The chicken parmesan was fantastic and had great flavours. Same with the chicken burger. However the lamb shank was as though the shank was cooked separately and plated with the sauce so the meat had no flavour The shredded beef sizzler was a huge disappointment, it was simply cut in the strips rather than shredded as advertised and tasted very bland/no flavour at all. Very disappointed experiencing after seeing many influencer reviews on social media.

Food is always excellent here and friendly staff

Staff is really friendly. The food is great. Authentic flavour. Really enjoyed our visit. Had a great time.

The mixed sizzle platter was amazing.

Nice calm place, food was really good and a wide range of choices. Only thing is that our drinks came after our food rather than before it so that was sad but very nice place do reccomend

Great restaurant with authentic & tasty food. Customer service was exemplary throughout. Would thoroughly recommend!

Good staff and nice food really

Food is ok. Ambience is nice. Customer services is very poor and disappointing.

Had a great time! Really great food and service. 😊

Lovely food, all the servers were so friendly and helpful! Thank you so much- will definitely be returning :)

The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The creamy chicken was an absolute masterpiece; rich and flavorful. And those cheesy fries are always a crowd-pleaser, never failing to hit the mark. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to make the experience memorable. This place has my heart—forever my go-to favorite!

Really lovely food , cheap prices very nice

Lovely food and excellent service

Amazing food and restaurant. Great prices and taste is the best. We are regulars here and they treat us really well.

Amazing food & service, highly recommend 👌🏽

I have eaten at this restaurant several times. The taste of food is always great. It is sometimes very crowded and noisy at dinner time, but the overall atmosphere is quite nice. I'll go back to this restaurant in future.

First time visit for myself and family last night. Travelled from Bolton and it was well worth the journey. Even though there appeared to be a wedding in the function room, the food was delivered nice and quick. We decided to make it a curry and spice night and every mouthful was amazing. The staff are all so happy and friendly. Speaking to a lady at the next table and she was recommending things and says she visits every other weekend (very nice lady). We can not wait for our next visit. Gutted we didn't take pictures of the food, but we just wanted to tuck in.

Food is always amazing our favourite place to eat, the staff are really polite and friendly happy to help with anything you need

Quite loud noise in general but music could be louder. Food was great and service was great

Great experience, excellent food and service. Would love to visit again.

Delicious food and lovely family environment

Wonderful service with very kind staff.

Delicious food, great service and very tidy atmosphere. Zero complaints. 😋

First visit and will definitely be going back. Delicious food, wonderful service and a great atmosphere.

The entree and starters were good but the main menu had very suboptimal taste.

10/10 service Would recommend Prices are descent affordable

We went for dinner with the family-it was all lovely! There were 11 of us eating and 3 curries worked well-they were a little small but very tasty. We got starters too (mixed grill) they were really nice too.

Today I went for both my kids birthday meal with family. The food, staff and overall atmosphere was really good. I would recommend this restaurant to others. The flavours in the food was excellent, kids loved the food. Normally the kids are fussy with curry and rice. Alhamdulillah they enjoyed it today. Thank you to all the staff.

Aisha was really nice. She really provided us with good service and recommendations. She made sure that we are satisfied with the food quality and also the food was really tasty.

Food served was warm, homely and delectable. Aisha was our server, she was very attentive and was helpful with our queries regarding the menu. Will definitely be back again!

ayesha has really great service !!! She was very friendly , helpful and polite!! And she checked back on us which we Appreciate. The steak, lamb chops etc that we got was really delicious.

Food was exceptional , staff so friendly and restaurant very clean & comfortable

Meal was mediocre. Very noisy from other tables so couldn't hear my colleagues. Prices good

I had a lovely very tasty chicken tikka masala and chips one of the best I've tasted, lovely service with a smile, and great value for money, I will definatly return.

Had a lovely time! We really enjoyed the fish. Delicious food and very friendly service. Not too busy. Parking was so close too!

Really good good recommendation . Nice food the atmosphere was really calming . And service 10 out of 10 . I came here for my birthday it was a good experience. Thank you very much

Estaba aquí por el cumpleaños de mi sobrino. Tenía pollo mariposa con patatas fritas y palitos de Mozzarella para empezar. La comida era fresca, sabrosa y deliciosa. El personal era amable y sonriente.

good place, great service, came on weekday so not much rush, overall good place and food was good too.

Me and my family went today to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We ordered the chicken Parmesan, butterfly chicken and the mixed grill platter. It was amazing. The food was fabulous which was topped off by the kindness of the amazing staff. Phenomenal. All the food tasted to be the best quality and there were no issues with any of it. For dessert we got a peanut butter stack, cheesecake and a hot fudge sundae. The presentation was amazing. The toffee in the stack paired with the complimentary ice cream was indoctrinating. They did forget the ice cream with the cheesecake but quickly resolved it. Overall an amazing visit.

I went here randomly one evening and had to go back the next night because I was so excited to get the paneer masala with garlic naan again. Very sweet staff and good pricing. Go here!

Good varied menu and very good value nice food

Food was nice, ambience is cosy, perfect for family evenings and gatherings. Service was on point and very friendly.

Stopped a night in Manchester Google searched and went to Safire Restaurant & Grill on Upper Brook Street and have to say it turned out to an excellent choice. The food and the service was exceptionally good quality. I would highly recommend this Restaurant to locals and the visitors alike. Tariq M
