Saleem's Tawa and Grill in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Each and everything on Tawa is very delicious. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. Highly recommended.

Food are Very high level of chillies 🌶 ,spices & salt ,not edible for normal person especially a family with kids. Avoid this place. Very high price too .not recommended any one .

The most delicious food I have ever had .Definitely recommend.

Food quality is not tht good anymore,v disappointed

Ma sha Allah no doubt everything was outstanding the staff, owner and the food was vary delicious it reminds me Pak 🇵🇰 .

The way the owner greeted and his gaze was quite🤢🤢

Need upgrading with they place especially tables and seating downstairs are not even. what I found annoying was the service guy kept coming even in between eating and then bringing over things to buy what we never asked for but they knew kids would ask for. If we want something we can ask and not to be constantly being disturbed while we eating and bribing kids to buy sweet things and offering other savouries etc what we don't need . Food was ok even though we asked not to make it spicey few times before he walked off came back with fresh spices in the curry . Why bother telling them when they still do what they want .. I wouldn't come back again

Real pakistani taste every time good service and food. Ma Sha Allah.

Came here early evening with a family of 4. Ordered tawa for 3, chaat and biryani. The food was average. The waiter who served us looked depressed and lacked mannerism, didn't catch his name but he was the short chubby guy with a beard and dark skin amd bald patch

I heard good things about this place and I was left disappointed. The curries in the tawa lacked flavour and were quite mushy although the chicken wings and chicken legs were cooked well. Once we ate the food, it took a while for the waiter to take away the food/plates and no it wasn’t busy. Also the waiter bought out a big tray of kulfis. To be honest it looked complementary however we were charged for this which is absolutely fine. There could be and there is a better way to do things. Overall left disappointed.

I placed an order for a tawa starter for 8 people after reviewing the menu available online, which listed the price as £48. However, when I went to pay, the bill came to approximately £65. I brought this discrepancy to the attention of the cashier and showed him the menu I had ordered from. He informed me that the menu was outdated, but he still honored the price of £48, which I appreciated. Additionally, I had requested mild spices for the children, but this was not possible due to the pre-marinated nature of the dish.

Ordered 2 Platters through Uber Eats but only received 1. Asked for a refund with full proof but still didn’t refund my money. Worst Customer Service

I placed an order for TWO platters but received only ONE. Food quality was awful. It was informed to the management who were rude and directed to contact UBER EAT and did not resolve the issue. And nothing is fake as i have uber eat complaint record. I shall be filing complaint to food quality standards for your unprofessional reply rather than helping to resolve the issue professionally.

It was a nice experience. Thank you!

We have visited a number of times over the last few years, nice authentic food, well priced. Not very aesthetically pleasing but decent place for a hearty meal.

Phenomenal lamb karahi, the lamb seekh kebabs were off the charts. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. They use lamb not sheep like other places do. The lamb literally melted in the mouth

Me and my family went yesterday for a meal.. food was OK but the service was pathetic. We orderd mix grill tawa for 4 and signature tawa for 3.... and been charged £95. All of us were altogether. checked in 8.45pm and ordered food straight away, and got our food at 10.05pm. After 1/2 hr wait, we been told our order was mixed up and it will take 10 mins after 10 mins another 10 min and it carried on till 10.05 pm when we were about to leave and they brought food out. No compensation was given. Absolutely pathetic!!! And pls be noted all of us were there together no other waiting guests and we didn't ask for the delay or changed our order. So no silly excuse....It was 6 of us altogether. Absolutely disgusting service!!! Will not be going again!!! @saleem tawa don't make silly excuse in reply.. I've got all the proofs in my phone..I'll upload everything here if you want....

Do not order from here save your money guys. I want today and the food was absolutely dry like chips were dry and the lamb chops. The chicken was not fresh at all actually the whole dish was not fresh. Just because it’s Ramadan it’s not an excuse not to make the dish fresh absolutely horrendous. They do not make their food fresh I repeat they do not

Too expensive, cold food, freezing temperature inside, and food had no taste! The customer service was a joke too! Never again!

Decent Tawa and Delicious Chicken Roast

I came here with the family. Absolutely lovely place in the thick of the hussle bussle in Levenshulme. We went for the tawa for 3 which has literally everything you would love to eat 2 chicken tikka, 3 lamb chops, 3 seekh kebabs and fries with 2 curries I went for keema and the veg option tadka daal. The whole tawa was delicious and reminds you of being back in pakistan also got the jug of mango rubicon and for starters masala fish portion which I didnt really enjoy and poppadoms which are a must. The service was very good but I have to say the price has inflated since last year. Paid just over £65 which in my opinion is a little expensive but the whole experience was pleasant. Food was very nice apart from my starter and would definately come back again in the future.

I came here because my uncle is named saleem, now you are my 2nd uncle, tawa for 4 was very nice, only bad thing was the chicken dishes was a bit dry, maybe use a bit more marination next time, other than that i loved it, will be back again my 2nd uncle, staff are very friendly, decor could do with some updating, and toilet door was a quite broken so i didnt take pee in it as lock is also broken.

Extremely caring staff members. Ordered signature tawa for 2 with chicken karahi boneless and maash daal as mains. Absolutely finger licking good. ♥️ this was the second time we visited them. The first time was with one of our parents and that trip to them was also amazing.😻

very poor service. We ordered from deliveroo never gave us our naans and the driver also didn’t have it in the car. Their phone line was also busy. very disappointed in their management .

Consistently high quality food. Always hits the spot. Great service. We come twice a month.

Very nice food and great service

Nice place, tasty food. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and great service

We came here as a group on a Friday night, the food was amazing traditional Pakistani food served on a tawa. I would give it five stars but the man who served us initially was not too friendly. Other than that, the waiters were helpful and it was a nice clean restaurant. Thank you Saleem's.

Service appalling. Food was ok 6.5/10.

Excellent food, excellent service

Excellent food as usual, good staff service highly recommended 👌

fresh food, good service, not too long waiting time, we ordered signature Tawa, enjoyed, especially Tawa fish, though prices a bit high

Ridiculous service with min environment. Like you're spending your money here to get freezing environment with some raw mixer food.

Food was reheated not fresh at all as I was expecting. Overly priced. Complete waste of money. We ordered tawa for 3. Small quantity of food was served

Very attentive staff, upstairs and downstairs seating. Downstairs was somewhat cold with the door constantly opening and given the Mancunian weather but eventually were moved upstairs which was warm and provided a nice view of the busy Stockport Road. Mixed grill was tasty.

Always great food and great service.

Food is great and tasty also the service.

No discipline no fresh all dishes was cold and no cleaning all plates was dirty. We expand more than £400. I will not recommend any persons to go this restaurant.

Come regularly. Brillaint place and great curry

Went to Saleem's with the family and ordered the large Signature Tawa for 6 > Food and Service was still Top Notch as before! :)

Wouldn't go again.. Went with a group of 8 lads, got the food wrong 3 times. Made a very specific request of no onions in the tawa and there was onions everywhere. Tbh, i don't blame them. Indians/Pakistanis tend to have subpar customer service.

Food great just need to impoove on lamb started.

Signature Tawas are awesome - tasty and plenty

very nice place amazing food and very responsible staff and great place to go!

Very nice food, a big tawa with plenty of food. Just brilliant

I ordered grilled BBQ through deliveroo. All the lamp chops and chicken were burned and black. Very disappointing.

Food was tasty and came out quick but the waiters were slow with the drinks.

We had the Tawa for 4. Food quality was spot on, very spicy & tasty. If you want traditional spicy Pakistani Punjabi food then you won’t be disappointed. Staff were very friendly. 4 stars only as washroom facility was not up to par!

Professsionally cooked and served by the waiters. Fantastic Pakistani cuisine option in Manchester. Highly recommended.

Gorgous food the price is unbelievable so High

Fresh and tasty tawa, really loved the flavour of everything. Ordered tawa for 3, which felt bit pricey at the moment, but it was good size and tasty

Food is decent. Service is great but not sure about the atmosphere 🤔

The lamb curry and chicken curry were good but the starters were disappointing as they were not fresh just reheated!!! When you spend £80+ on a tawa you expect to receive fresh and sizzling starters but in this case we didn't!!! A real shame

Went over with my family, we all enjoyed the food. Full of flavour. Meat was very tender and cooked freshly. Definitely will be going again. Highly recommended!

Best seekh kebabs I've tasted in a long while, cooked in the tandoori, juicy and bags of flavour. Aloo keema curry was 10/10

Good food brilliant staff and service

Very traditional pakistani food. Very tasty. The staff is welcoming and the place is neat and clean. The only problem is that there is no parking nearby.

Food was fantastic, the dhall was amazing, found young waiter a bit rude but the older waiter made up for it, we were only people in restaurant but we were early about 6pm.

Amazing service, Food is good, reasonabley priced, would 💯 return

Signature tava for 4 with added extra lamb chops. Upgraded to both meat curry’s and changed the plain naans to rogni kulcha naan. I have to say everything was 10/10 could not fault this place at all. Flavour wise bang on meat was tender and juicy so full of flavour. Literally every item on this tava was absolutely banging. Service was good boss man nice friendly chap. Can’t wait to go again.

Expensive as compared to food taste and standard. It’s not proper Pakistani taste more like Bangladeshi style of food

Enjoyed the lamb briyani, flavourful and good portions. Lamb was tender and marinated well. Palak was too oily for my liking. Comfortable restaurant. Good service from friendly owner.

Food was exceptional, we had the tawa for 6, no complaints, will be back again soon

Stay away - no value for money. We spent over £150 on Tawa grill and other food. We were extremely disappointed to see that all food items were reheated, there was nothing fresh. You would expect fresh sizzling food to be served but there was none of that.

Tasty food, tawa was nice and sitting with family perfect atmosphere. Thanks for good service and jug of mango lassi.

Food was good but the service good do with a bit of improvement.

Ordered the Tawa for 2 and I can say it did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend coming here we will be back!

Food was nice and so was service, just the starters and mains got brought at same time and was no space on table to out all the food.

The restaurant is pure desi. When you enter inside, you feel like you are at one of the restaurants in Makkah or Madinah. Old style, tired furniture, family seating area upstairs with narrow staircase. You can ignore all that because the food is mind blowing. Their signature tawa is definitely worthy to be called "signature". Fresh food, each dish has its own flavour. To tip this up, service is very quick, staff is on point. I have been here a few times and will definitely be going back again.

Tasty food Very delicious 🤤 would defiantly be going again

Poor value for money, seating area upstairs wasn't very clean. Food was unremarkable, there's better places out there.

Delicious food! Their tawa starters had a great selection and were juicy and flavourful, I would highly recommend the chicken karahi with naan. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the fish starter, which we also got too much of unfortunately.

Fresh, delicious food and excellent service. Will definitely go again and recommend to friends

Food was really good and prices are very reasonable. If you are planning to visit Manchester and looking for desi food then this must be your go to place

The grilled food was OK the Currys aren't the best overall was not too bad, and probably not return again or maybe will.

Great food, very well seasoned and flavoured. They did take our food to the wrong table.

We had gone to Iftar during Ramadan. The food was amazing but the only thing that let us down was that our food was given to the wrong table and some of our items were missing. They did bring out the missing items fresh but we had to wait for them as they cooked them freshly. The portion of their Tawa was enough for our party.

We always like coming here because its value for money, although it would be nice if they took advance booking slots for larger grps just my opinion

Great experience enjoyable time and good quality

Not been here in a few months so visited Saturday 15th April. I used to regularly order their biryanis and meat curries every week after my shift at Asda as both their lamb and chicken were spot on. I have had to cut down on my weekly takeaways due to my own personal financial pressures so now only get a takeaway as a treat usually every month around pay day. Originally their chicken and lamb biryanis were boneless and then they introduced with bone which completely changed the taste and dynamics for the worse (in my opinion). To be honest I noticed they have also increased their price substantially but understand given inflationary pressures and other cost of living crisis. However, I do feel utterly cheated that they have reduced the original size of the container, meat with bone introduced as a cheaper alternative for the owner, hardly any meat in the biryanis when I opened the two containers. I don’t mind paying more but for you to cheat and make shortcuts in quality and quantity and not look after your customers is disappointing, totally unjustified. I always pay cash as fully aware establishments like these will no doubt try to hide paying any VAT or taxes where they can. You will hardly fail to see the “CASH ONLY” sign proudly in front of the owners till (respectfully, wake up Mr stop cheating decent and loyal customers by reducing the portion sizes). I won’t be going again as there are too many competitive and better quality eateries in the Longsight and Levenshulme areas who specialise in Indian related cuisine. Please note I was a genuine customer and make no recommendations of where you should eat. Please also note the owner is so arrogant, rude and also disillusioned given his comments from some negative feedback. His response from negative feedback ie, the chicken palak was TASTELESS from a recent customer review and the owner feeds back with “see you soon” (my point exactly - he does not care).

**HORRIBLE SERVICE** (DO NOT GO HERE) I had requested for the table to be cleaned after waiting over an hour and was told by staff ‘DO NOT TELL US WHAT TO DO, EITHER WAIT OR GET OUT’. I would not give this place even 1 star if I didn’t have to, such disrespectful staff! Went here for an iftaar with the family and was told it’ll be a 5 min wait so we waited up to an hour and although tables were becoming free, they did not bother to clean the tables for new customers. They are money grabbing people ripping off people and not even providing complimentary tap water or dates to open fast for iftaar. Horrible service and disgusting food that caused food poisoning!

Loved it. Delicious food but we sat down stairs so it was a bit chilly as the door kept opening. Many people weren't even closing it. Other than that everything was great 👍.

I forgot to leave a review last year the chicken stank like rats from a sewage. Fish left me senseless with the horrible smell. Chips decent but very minimal portion especially during ramadan. Kebab decent. Curry average. Overall 2 stars.

Fresh food always, taste is spot on

Asssalaamkium your Lamb Chops weren’t cooked properly I had bite of it make sure you cook everything properly

Nice staff and service. But no heating and was very cold sat down stairs. Got moved 3 times, and eventually ended upstairs, which was very cramped, food was average, sorry won't be going back.

Tried their signature tawa for 8 which was great in terms of quality and quantity.

We been there 2 days ago with friends food is not fresh they served us day before tasteless grill food on tawa we order jug of Pepsi they don't have proper jugs they served drinks in decoration piece hard to put drinks from jug in to glases very disappointed 😑

Rubbish food wasn't fresh it's cooked day before just reheat and served tawa chicken legs was cold from inside we found plastic paces from mint souce we didn't like at all never go again very disappointed 😞

Excellent food couple with great service 👌

The flavours of the chicken karahi were nice however.. we did not manage to eat the chicken in the tawa as it was early in the day…. Later on came to discover it was not cooked enough! The chicken is pink!!!

Came today, starters were lovely, lamb karahi was stunning, however, the mixed veg was a let down. Apart from that it was lovely. Affordable and great quality food. Will be back oh and to quickly add, the restaurant is quite cold which also ruined the atmosphere.

My burger had multiple hairs in it

So so so good and it’s hot and delicious

Honest review! The food was not tasty at all. The chicken was very dry and curries had no flavour ..so bland. I came here with my family after watching tiktok reviews. I think those reviews are paid promotions! The service was just as bad with waiter attitude! We wasted nearly £100. Please people dont waste your money here your better off next door in sanam! We were short changed on the drinks too and waiter was so arrogant ignored this. We will not be returning! There are far better places which are much nicer and cheaper. V dissapointing visit!

Food was good. Nice family sitting area. The only thing I dislike that the prices on their menu card were higher than they have on their website .

Food was great ..quantity and quality. But we felt cold in restaurant. Or else 5 stars guaranteed

Satisfactory. Could do better with the tawa. Dishes were great.

Slightly overpriced but overall satisfactory food.
