Sanam Sweet House & Restaurant in Manchester

I have lived in manchester all my life and did not no of this restaurant. It's food was very nice and nit too expensive. If you like Asian food then I recommend this restaurant.

Food was very bad and not fresh

Absolutely terrible. I would rate it 0 stars. Came here last week with my friends and ended up with food poisoning. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Food was not good and stuff was very rude and they show attitude for nothing I had sweet too which is really bad condition. I will never go there again ever .

I went there with my family and i ordered food and in food i ordered nihari as well but when they bring nihari there was no meat in nihari they said actually nihari was finished but you ordered so thats why we bring gravy only and they didn't even tell me that they dont have nihari at the moment ao that we can order something else. And they charged us with full price of nihari in the bill .that was only gravy without meat.they are robbers dont go to this place

Food was great, but service could have been a bit better

Came out of town to eat and decided to try out this place... What a big mistake that turned out to be. From the moment we walked in there was disappointment, the smell inside the restaurant was as though they haven't washed the fabrics in years, it was very off-putting for a place to dine in. In terms of food, starters were decent however we ordered chicken palak as a main, there was barely any chicken in this dish so we requested the managers assistance asking if we could change the dish as it was not explained that it would be DRENCHED with spinach and barely any chicken. So my friend (who has worked in many restaurants) proceeded to ask the manager if we could change the dish, he rudely said 'NO, it doesn't matter if you work in a restaurant' and refused to change the dish, his attitude was disgusting. I will not even start with the chicken biryani (bland & definitely not asian style as requested). No customer service skills amongst majority of the staff including the manager. After leaving almost all of our mains we decided to leave, after requesting the bill three times (on a very quiet evening) a very polite young gentleman named Kareem brought it over. He was very helpful and sets an example for a lot of the other staff who certainly don't look like they want to be there. They should definitely learn a few things from Kareem. Due to this experience I can definitely say I will NOT be returning, not even worth the one star required to post this review.

Went for a dinner with family. Really bad food and service.

I went with my family to eat there, food is very bad, doesn't like itt, very rude stuff, not worth itt.

The best veg biriyani in town. Good level of spice and great value.

Flavor food. Good service. Nice seating area with large glass facade. Good dishes.

Very smali sweet and food very bad omg sweet with fangas very very bad 👎

My husband and I love dining at this restaurant every week; the food is simply amazing! I’m a huge fan of curry and usually whip it up at home since it’s hard to find a fresh version. Whenever Musa is working, the quality of the food is exceptional, and his service is truly remarkable. He always brings us fresh chillies, garlic, and coriander to elevate the flavors of our favorite dishes. Musa makes it a point to check in with us to ensure everything is perfect, and he finishes off the meal with a hot towel and some chocolate mints. The service we receive from Musa is five-star all the way! He remembers our orders without us even having to say a word. When he’s not around, we definitely feel a bit let down!

We had the best dinner. Place wasn’t that busy, we were there at 6pm. Service was great, Musa is very kind.

Dirty bakery & sweet shop. No hygiene and on cakes quite often you will find hair on cakes. Also the cream on top of their cakes are not healthy and full of low grade fat which will make you sick!

Very disappointed with samosa taste and quality

Very nice breakfast and tea. Recommended.

Loved the food out here with excellent customer service on top of that the beverages was spot on had mojitos with the mix grills and had eskandari lamb with paya and the naans was top class

We bought birthday cake 🎂 it was good but the complementary YASEEN SHARIF and SALAH books I got are truly priceless. Thank you 🙏 May Allah bless you SANAM sweets .

Food wasnt too bad, customer service was absolutely rubbish. The waiter was too lazy to bring a jug of water so made us pay for bottled water and sold told me the chutney plate was complementary when he charged for it...we didnt even use it. Also tried to sell us other sides that were not needed. Toilets are also.rubbish, no hand wash and cubicle doors are designed so you cant get in and out without brushing past the toilet.

La mejor comida de la historia El servicio es increíble y el personal es tan humilde y respetuoso. Realmente disfruté de la experiencia. Quiero volver. Que Allah les dé éxito en sus negocios Amén 🙏

Amazing quality of food and such a delicious taste i really enjoyed with my friends 👍

Went there for a friend's Nikah ceremony. I parked my car in pay and display car park area which is behind it. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent.

My favourite curry house in Rusholme had meat samosas and chicken tik ka starters Chicken karahi with boiled rice all was very nice but the peshwari nan's are the best I've had

so good, student discount and the food is DELICIOUS!

He disfrutado mucho de mi experiencia con Sanam hoy. La comida llegó a un ritmo rápido y era de excelente calidad. ¡Tenía una porción de kebab, achar ghust y un pastel! Raja hizo nuestra experiencia muy acogedora y fue atento.

La sujeción es agradable con deliciosos currys y desiertos, y el hist Raja nos alegró el día con sus chistes divertidos y excelentes habilidades de anfitrión! : ) gracias. Volveremos pronto

Simply awful. £30 for chicken karahi, lamb karahi, 1 naan and onion rice! The price included a 10% discount as it was a takeway! The curries were dry, meat rubbery and so chilly hot, virtually inedible. Drove all the way from Bury. Stay away, rubbish

One of the oldest restaurants on Wilmslow road still has good food

I recently visited Sanam to buy a jalebi, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The person selling the jalebi was extremely rude, speaking to me as if he was doing me a favor by serving me. It felt like my presence as a customer was more of an inconvenience than a welcome. Customer service is just as important as the food, and in this case, the service left a lot to be desired. I hope the management addresses this behavior, as it really detracts from the overall experience Jalebi was okay.

Served by awais very friendly and respectful. Made sure all tables and people were looked after..

I came yesterday with my friends. Really enjoy the taste, specially lamb on the bobe is extremely delicious and service is too good.

I had a lunch with a friend at sanam restaurants because we were craving for Nahari in this pouring rainy weather. We went after 12pm and they it got busy soon. Thank God we ordered one portion of Nahari ,Haleem and kebab with Naan because one portion was more than enough for 2 people.Their Nahri and haleem was so delicious and full of flavours . We have asked few things extra like lemons and water or mint sauce and that boy was so active and attentive towards 3 tables and very pleasant manners and service. I really like their Sesame seeds naan with Nehari . In our way back we stood in their bakery to buy some fresh cookies and my very special surprise item was large baked Bakarkhuni which in last 19 years ,I have never seen anywhere in Manchester. That was pure joy for me to buy that . I have shared a picture below.

Will not visit again 1 waiter 13 customer

Omg!!! Never again. The waiter was so rude. Wanted a quick snack dahi bhalley and a main king prawn tandoori. The dahi bhallay was dry hard with no toppings on. When I asked where's the toppings he said some customers don't like...so I said who am I then? The prawns...omg! Dry and only 3. Nothowit was described on the menu. When I asked him he got irate and started calling me a time waster and started saying stupid things. Forget me...another couple sat infront of me asked for desi breakfast a d was asking about omelette. The same waiter was rude to them too saying how many times do I need to tell you that we don't make omelette etc...

I'm totally disappointed you guys gave me old sweet (chum chum ). And quality is very bad. Never recommend sanam sweets.

Sanam has lost its standard.When we raised the food issue with the manager the middle aged man who roams around every table and flatters British customers by saying hope that food is good but when faces rhe reality of the foods feedback got very rude and instead of acknowledging told us to leave saying now it's too late you have already eaten it.This restaurant needs a better manager! Greed and Disrespect is Sanam restaurant 😤

Amazing taste and variety food, value for money, great seating, wheel chair accesable, free parking.

The manager is a very disrespectful towards customers who have an issue with anything.He does not know how to deal with any complaints.The owner is very kind and down to earth but the manager thinks he owns this restaurant and deals poorly like hes a millionaire.Very disappointed.

Not happy and never ever will go again. Once a time this restaurant was amazing with service and food but it’s being very poor service and food now.

Disgusting food, Went there with friends, But really disappointed with the food, wasn't expecting that,

Food was cold and tasteless, when informed the manager, he was rude and didn't care about the quality. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone

Very lovely and yummy food on good prices

A REVIEW FROM BRISTOL: VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MITHAI, EXTREMELY SMALL SIZE AND VERY SMALL PORTION. DEFINITELY NOT 1/2KG MITHAI, IT WAS LESS THAN THAT FOR SURE. YOUR BISCUITS WERENT FRESH, VERY SOFT AND TASTELESS!

Been going here for years. Always great food, clean place, family friendly, excellent service and decent pricing.

Excellent service and very delicious cuisine.

The worker there is rude! The main guy that serve the sweets is rude. If you have a bad day you better stay at home!

La comida era buena. Un poco de aceite. Esta carretera está llena de bares de shisha ahora no hay muchos restaurantes indios auténticos como antes. El servicio era deficiente. Sin embargo la calidad de la comida está bien. No volverá.

I’m their regular customer now. I love their Biryani. I like the customer service, they are very friendly ☺️ Thank you!

Customer service was good, curries were on point, unfortunately we felt the chicken in the shezuan noodles tasted off, we did bring this to the attention of the waiter but he and the chef thought it tasted fine, we didn't argue and finished our meal less the Chicken Shezuan which we paid for, the waiter discounted us a can of pop.. not really a fair trade off considering the Shezuan was over a tenner. Overall it was good experience apart from the Chicken Shezuan. Be mindful, you have to pay for the salad and the tray of chutneys.

I normally grab a rasumalai on the go. 1st was great and very fresh. 2nd time it went in the bin as wasn't fresh. 3rd time, today, one piece was OK but the second tasted pretty bad and definitely wasn't fresh. Don't think I'll be going to this place again.

The food was ten ten with excellent customer service with beautiful food indeed

We came last Monday morning, place is very good and food is delicious. Specially the man who pass the meal is very friendly and well educated, he knows how to deal a customer very well. Will visit again.

Gran experiencia ambiente encantador y gran servicio a la gente le encantó la comida y volvería de nuevo a través de la gestión de raja

Great family dining experience. Very tasty Karahi dishes and very pleasant staff with no shortage of smiles!

We had the best lunch. Place wasn’t that busy, we were there at 2pm. Service was great, our waiter is very kind.

RAW CHICKEN!!! The 2 veggie starters were nice however two separate meals both had raw chicken. The mixed grill sizzler and the chicken burger had pink chicken!! They took away our meals offered a replacement but we’d had enough at this point as we had been waiting ages. They brought our food out in bits and pieces too. Half brought and then other half came 20 mins later. Not good enough! Manager raising his voice at a group of three girls who told them of the issue and showed him the chicken. Refused to take off the bill and other people were beginning to watch so we paid and left.

Served raw chicken today. Managers attitude towards the complaint regarding raw chicken was vile. Only go if you want salmonella. £60 down the drain.

Delicious food, we enjoyed a lot. Overall a very good experience, will surely come again.

Nice food and location, music a little loud and water glass had stains. Had to ask twice for water to be given for drinking

Lovely family restaurant food was delicious and VIP service

Great food decent price and if you are looking for traditional Asian curries.

Great quality food , great prices and services , great for Uber eats and take aways.

Sanam Sweethouse truly lives up to its stellar reputation with what might just be the best biryani ever—its aroma alone is a ticket to flavor town! Don't miss out on their papadums; they're so crispy and light, they could float away if you're not careful. A must-visit for a culinary delight that tickles the taste buds and leaves you craving more. Dive in and let your senses feast on the deliciousness—your stomach will thank you!

The curries were not the best I have tasted in Manchester. However, their sweets might be of better quality

staff were so friendly and inviting, food was amazing too!!

Good food at a reasonable price. Tandoori is definitely the thing to eat there as it's good.

We visited here yesterday felt very uncomfortable because the old waiter kept on talking whilst we was ordering saying order this forcefully which I think is very rude. Whilst we was eating the old waiter kept on starring which was very off putting. We hadn't finish ordering he give the bill and we had to re order. The tea was absolutely disgusting it was like water I don't think they let it boil. The jalabi was re heating for 3 tiny pieces it costed £3.80 which was shocking. Overall I wouldn't be visiting this restaurant again it's going downhill

What kind of food was there and expensive.

One of the best restaurants on the stretch.

Even though I've eaten the take out food from Sanam, last night was the first time I've eaten in there. The samosas here are so good. I went there with my friend. The place had a nice atmosphere and the decor is kind of cosy. We ordered 2 poppadoms for starters. When we asked if the sauce and chutneys came with it, the waiter said yes. But that wasn't the case. He asked us if we wanted a salad with our starter, and he asked us like it was complimentary, but that wasn't the case. We ordered a chicken biryani, lamb karahi, and 2 naan with 2 cans of tango (which cost £2.80 each, and that was an absolute joke). The Chicken Biryani looked good, but it tasted like it had too much of a spice, so it made it taste weird. The Lamb karahi tasted very nice. The lamb was so soft. The naan was fresh, so it complimented the curry very well. I would have given the place 5 stars, but the extra charges and the extortionate price of the can really put us off.

Food was not great even the table cleaned with the dirty cloth it was smelly and spoil the dinner

The waiter behaved like our his servant, A waiter spoke rudely to us.i feel slept to him but let it go ,you need to change your some staff

Vindaloo and fish curry superb. Service also very good.

Lamb samosa was tasting sour, the meat inside was spoiled, chicken cjhaat didn’t taste fresh way too much spices , I will Not use again and don’t recommend as clear food is not fresh, I thought that after many years they improved as years ago their hygiene rating was very low, unfortunately still remains Poor

It was disgusting. The manager was so rude and arrogant, it seems he hasn’t learnt basic principles of public service. Unbelievable he even pushed one of guests. Why? Trading standards should take action against this man.

I attended this restaurant few hours ago, I've never been so dissapointed before. I ordered mix starter plater, Paya, chicken jalfrezi with couple of drinks and naan. Everything other than naan was absolutely tastless, no flavours or nice smell of the food. Please stop wasting people time and money with this tastless food.

Food is (OK) can't complain even portions are small as flight size!! But prices are extra higher then usual.

Lovely food and lovely service.

This used to be my favourite restaurant as everything used to be perfect. However, I believe their chef has changed and that is negatively impacting the taste of their dishes. Their naans are not the best anymore. Their service had already dropped since quite a while ago, hence, didn't expect any improvement in my recent visit. Lot's of room for improvement compared to their peak quality and service. Overall, it's worth giving a try but avoid them if you know any other restaurant that is better.

Had a very nice set meal here. Reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They do an evening buffet which looks amazing but you need to be really hungry. No alcohol which is a shame when eating hot curry.

Sweet man very nice person I really love him and he gave me very good service 😃❤️

Excellent quality and service over the years.

5pm, Sunday, 7 April. Went in to get a few mithai boxes. I must say the special mithai boxes and bags look great. But the customer service was rude and lazy.

Excellent place to visit. Lovely ambiance and food quality is best around the town. Staff is very friendly and professional, specially the younger guy, very calm and polite. Will surely visit again.

Food was top of my list especially the mix grill and lamb karahi it was amazing with polite staff one of a great restaurant to come to if your in Manchester

Sanam nice food and excellent service

Absolutely delicious! If you happen to be on the curry mile I urge you to visit this restaurant. We asked for the waiters recommendation and we got 2 banging curry’s alongside some excellent side dishes. A mouthgasm for every corner of the palette. Lassan Al G’aib!!!!

Very good and tasty food. A good range to select from. My personal favourite is their Chicken Biryani and Butter Chicken.

They serve very good quality and fabulous taste

Ordered a take out, they microwaved food from the desert stall and charged me restaurant prices. Very dishonest

Customer service is very poor, dealing with customers not good very dry and rude manners not welcoming. Not comfortable

After previously leaving a negative review 2 years ago. Recently visited and it was newly refurbed, a fresh and inviting restaurant. Vast improvement from my last visit, service with a smile. Good table size, Karahis were excellent and the tandoori nan were just beautiful. The sweet and mango lassi were also very refreshing. Overall had a very pleasant evening and will definitely be visiting again.

Very nice , delicious food ,good service 😋 😍

Not a true pakistani taste in food. Food is ok. Ambiance and staff nice

Testy and delicious food fraindly staff good service

If I could give no stars, I would. I have been going to their sweet shop for a while to get their pistachio baklava but today I went and I always make sure to ask if it has walnuts in it. I asked this today and he said it's only pistachio and then I eat it at home and have an allergic reaction, which only happens when I consume walnuts. This is a disgrace to know that either they misunderstood my question so that it had walnuts in it or it had got cross contaminated. People have allergies and food should be marked up whether it's Asian or non-Asian food!

Mitai pretty expensive, but nice and fresh. Service this time was slow.....had one guy doing the order for someone, didn't acknowledge that we was there and was just so slow in serving....I mean if you see customers queuing up, u'd probably speed up wouldn't you or call someone else to serve?? So after waiting for a ling time the guy finally asked one of the other guys who was loading the cakes on the shelves to serve us....by then there were other ppl waiting to be served, however the first guy was still pretty slow in dealing with the first customer!

I really enjoy my trip to Manchester just for come and eat at Sanam. Best poori halwa channa 🤩
