Sanam in Manchester

sanam sweets before it was very good, but now they got the sweet the Mathai is not that level at the moment

The biscuit selection is nice and tasty...Ordered Samosas recently but no chutney was given with the order like we asked for..

Fantastic food and comfortable seating. Service was great everything was on time. Super Duper. But Sanam is now very very expensive.

Great food - Lovely staff very accomodating - will deffo vome back

I ordered 6 samosas today and they packed only 5 when i came home and checked my guests were waiting, it is raining today 26/02, after speaking to their staff on call they started ignoring and discard our calls, which is extremely dissappointing, therefore, i am leaving this review for all reading this dont go to Sanam sweets ever, instead go to Nirala’s they were way better than Sanam’s. Please note: it isnt about your £1.40 it is about the trust and loyalty with the customers but here we go. You better maintain your goodwill.

Helpful staff but little vegetarian or vegan dishes.

Brilliant service, the food was very nice. Will definitely be coming back with my family. The channay were really good, it had a nice kick to it. Halwa puri was perfect for one and very reasonably priced.

Went with family for breakfast, food was really tasty, atmosphere was great and service was very good.

Good food, good service , highly recommended

Food and service very nice specially shahid sb ,we loved mixgrill Lahore gosh and sunday halwa purie channa very freshly, I must give 10 on 10

Hi, just wanted to say a big thank you to the staff as we went there for a wedding anniversary small family get together. They personalised the cake on arrival with the song and candles after we finished buffet, making her day extra special so a thumbs up to the staff for the great customer service as always. Food was good too

Excellent food very pleasant service ..will go back again.

Khan and teams service here was excellent from the moment we entered, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here just now and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend, the masala fish starter and the lamb karahi the best we've had. Thank you

Fabulous food. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service from Khan

One of the best experience food and service I really appreciate them how nice the staff is and on top they give us jalebi on the house it was so warm and crunchy my kids love it and our family really enjoyed thanks allot

Amazing Good.Loved the Buffet and the desserts especially the Gulab Jamun and Jilebi was superb

Best Asian buffet with reasonable prices and lovely atmosphere.

Starter was ok.. All curry's taste is very horrible. Service was not good. I was waiting so long for nan bread. I wasted my money. Chips was so cold. I want toilet it was so dirty.

Amazing service, very accommodating for my daughters birthday and the food options were great.

We have booked the whole yesterday and the experience was very negative they haven't received the full food I have paid £1500 very bad experience

I like food with family. Very tasty

The manager was so dodgy I paid for my wedding deposit with card then on the wedding day he came in and rather obviously counted how many guests I had, he was probably annoyed I was actually 5 people under what I had paid for. He then insisted we pay the rest in cash! My Dad had to leave my wedding to get cash! Dodgy man, definitely pocketing some of the cash! Hope the owners read this and look into the manager!

Delicious, fresh authentic Pakistani food. Family friendly restaurant

Very nice service and perfect food keep it up

Good delicious food and the waiters are very respectful and kind. They also offer a praying place

Good food. Great service. Mudaser was very helpful. Recommended 👍

I have visited with my friends🙂what a delicious lunch it was. I will recommend everyone to spend your time here for quality food.

The food here is absolutely amazing! Every time I visit with my family, we have a wonderful experience. The quality of the food, hygiene, and customer service is exceptional. Some of my favorite dishes include fish and chips, pilau, palak gosht, desi chicken, paye, nihari, cakes, gajar halwa, zarda, jalebi and so much more. I highly recommend to everyone visiting Manchester.

Enough space for people upstairs and downstairs, including a sweets shop and fresh jalebi. They have a buffet for lunch, dinner, and breakfast. Parking is at the back.

Me and my friends ate some golgappas (panipuri) and have some milkshakes as well. Food was very nice and behavior of the staff is so good . I appreciate all the staff team they give us good customer service.

Nice food and good service all ways 👌

Great place for breakfast or lunch

Bought gajar halwa. It wasn't good taste. Called them and asked to taste by themselves and they agreed it's not good. When came back to return. I was shocked to know that even I as charged more. Won't recommend, even at purchase please check price list as well.

Excellent service and delicious food

Service was so good ..Taste Was amazing literally Obsessed with there taste …

Nice place,very delicious food and service is also very good

overall staff is good 10/10 food 3/10 atmosphere 7/10 no parking we try buffet no taste uncooked food just ewwwww🤮🤢

Fantastic customer service and good food

Don't go there very bad food old somsay and same with sweets my stomach upset for few days..

Ordered Pina colada, lamb karahi, raita, pilau rice and roti. Rotis were really nice. The karahi was very basic and lacked flavours. Pilau rice were okay but again flavourless. Raita was very sweet. Staff was good and professional 👍

Don't waste your time at the buffet here, abysmal! Service and atmosphere were decent, however.

Not too bad good food and peaceful environment... Afternoon time.

I was there today, bought a falooda which was extremely bad in taste. When i questioned, guy at counter was extremely rude even though i asked politely. Such shame

Ahtsham is the best waiter i seen and experienced and the food the restaurant is just so wonderful if there is any other word more than wonderful i will say it is

Hi all I booked a birthday event tonight. Firstly I thought that it will be a normal event but when as the event went on it was amazing. Everything was very tasty specially the the dessert. And most importantly the service and atmosphere was awesome Thanks very much all the staff and management of SANAM for making my event special and memorable BEST WISHES FOR FUTURE

Excellent atmosphere with great taste of asian foods , always enjoyed there, been there many times, always food is fresh

Had brunch at Sanam. Ordered the chana and puri and nehari and naan and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and portion size was very good. I must mention the service from the waiter was on point unusual good for Sanam made the experience even better. Ordered the lemonade and lime didn’t really enjoy that.

Best food ever very friendly staff I really recommend. Come and enjoy the food

Absolutely disgrace scammers. We ordered Indian Sweets from this Sanam Sweet house on Uber eats, paid full money, but received less than half of the Indian Sweets, bloody criminals.

Great food at reasonable price. The lamb karahi and the special dish for the day as well as the deserts were great.

Amazing service - we booked the small hall for a small event and it was setup exactly how we wanted it - thanks for Ashfaq Bhai.

Very delicious food, friendly staff, highly recommended

I just brought sweets from this shop is tasteless and hard to eat worst experience

Always go to this place with my family and friends for buffet, Very friendly staff,They always serve fresh food.

Came here last night for a meal. Wasn’t that busy. We were seated but then nobody came to take our drinks order. After 15 mins of tucking into our meal we called one of the waiters about ordering drinks and he said the drinks were there pointing to a table next to us . We all looked over and he was gesturing to another tables drinks. We had to tell him it was a separate table and not part of our group. As for the food, immediately as we sat down my nephew found a fly cooked with the fish on his fish batter. Reported it to the Manager who in fairness was apologetic and took the drinks bill off the final menu and gave us free jalebi. Even so it really put us off the food for the rest of the evening. Although we have been here before and booked events (and really enjoyed the food) the fish used last night was the cheap pangasius. The tandoori chicken was dry as was the lamb meat. Biryani was good , wings were exceptional as were the kebab but malai tikka was pink on the inside but tender. The waiter informed us it’s the masala? The kids enjoyed the dessert bar but the waiter at the desserts was getting annoyed that the kids were going back again and again. Parking is difficult as car park joined with the supermarket behind only have a few places. Unfortunately would not return again.

Shout out to Mudasir and Saad for great service!

Sold me dried Black forest cake.Don’t believe the sanam staff because i asked staff that i only want to buy cake if cakes are fresh and he said its todays fresh cake..These cakes are for special occasions which you ruined just for few pounds….

It was really good food, Buffet was awesome, loved 🥰 it

Been coming here for years and never disappoints. The extensive mithai menu through the glass window is amazing. Get the ras malai, fresh jalebi, motichoor laddoo and lahori falooda. In terms of savouries, their chicken patties are always a winner and the Mrs. likes their samosa chaat. Buffet here is very nice too and well stocked/priced. All halal and good value for money. Staff always polite, courteous and accommodating.

Normal taste. Very slow service.

Amazing food , Amazing service, Best Value for good .... 😍

I recommend never buy birthday cake is horrible I’m not happy with the cake at all 😕

Sanam Restaurant Desi Pakistani Buffet in Longsight, Manchester, is an absolute Gem. The food is delicious and authentic, offering a wide variety of Pakistani dishes that are full of flavor. The buffet setup means there's something for everyone, and you can enjoy as much as you like. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to help and make sure you have a great dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a family meal or a gathering with friends. Everything from the starters to the desserts was top-notch. I highly recommend Sanam for anyone craving genuine Pakistani cuisine. It’s a fantastic spot that never disappoints.

Thank you Musa bhai for the great service. Good food and great atmosphere.

Amazing service by Musa Bhai and team. We had puri halwa, aalo paratha, delicious orange juice, chai, and freshly made jalebi. All the food was delicious.

I bought mixed sweets I've never eaten in my life. They are tasteless and not fresh. Nafees is the best compared to this tasteless Sanam Saweet. Unfortunately, Nafees is temporarily closed for some reason; otherwise, I used to go there specifically from Leicester.

Friendly staff and good ambiance

Beautiful tasty food very poor service.staff approach is very lazy

Really nice food. She curry’s were tasty and nice. Relaxed atmosphere and staff friendly.

Taste is so good well managed staff overll 10/10 .

Need better trained manager very confused

Good Service And Excellent taste. The chicken karahi was automatic and juicy. Garlic Naan was one of the best combination for the curry (for me).🤤

Sanam Restaurant and sweet house is providing best services in longsight area Manchester. You can enjoy best buffet and sweet of Uk here. Come, enjoy and make great memories. Bravo 👏

I bought Sanam sweets 3kg,their staff cheated with me to serve very old and stinky smell in it,even I requested him I came from Bolton to buy this but he did not bother to sell old sweet,when I reached home then I rang in their shop to make a complaint so manager says I ask from staff why they served you old sweets instead he should apologise and offer me fresh sweet or refund but he was blaming on his staff.such a shame.I promise today myself I will never buy any stuff from Sanam Sweets.they are horrible people to ripping of their customers

The only thing to try here is chicken patties as no one else does like that, rest is all average so don't expect or waste money on trying the food or buffet as you would be disappointed.

After a long time I had crave to have a cake, so I went there and ask for a single piece of cake, which coast me £3.50. The taste was pretty bad and smell from cake was disgusting. I got really disappointed. The Sanam sweet never let me down before, but I think they are compromising on there quality, which is really shameful. The cake was definitely out of date.

Absolutely fantastic food. We had the chicken tikka masala , achari chicken, roganjosh, lamb karahi and 5 naan. Everything was delicious and the waiters very helpful. Highly recommend

Just bought half a kilo laddo from shop asked if they are fresh the staff told yes they are fresh. When arrived home opened the box to eat they are definitely not fresh as I always bought laddos from Sanam Wimblow road branch and know the taste of fresh laddos. They were hard and not fresh at all I want full refund as not been eaten. Came all the way from preston and bought for family and very disappointed.

I had buffet with my friend everything was perfect and fresh Food Service Environment Music like 10/10 from my side ..! Must try Gulab Jamun and Golgappy 🤤

Had Ramadan buffet there where had terrible experience, prevented offering tap water. The most worst part the rat poison was on kids reach

Food was absolutely delicious especially the mix grill it had so much variety in the grill with the lamb karahi it was absolutely amzing id recommend this to evryone

Tasty food and freshly prepared. We ordered a la carte. We ordered Seekh kebabs, Lamb Karahi, with 3 rotis, chicken tikka naan, chocolate cake. It was really good value. Thank you.

Everything in our food tasted bad.

Food was good. Customer service was great.

"DONT OEDER FROM THIS PLEASE" CALL THEM TO SAY U HAVE MISSED ITEM ON MY DELIVER AND THE ANSWER WAS WE WILL GIVE YOU DOUBLE NEXT TIME. IF I WANTED TO GET FOOD NEXT TIME THEN I WOULDN'T OF ORDER FOR NOW. SCAMMERS ........

Mr Fiaz the manager is incredible with service outstanding experience and very friendly always happy to see customers The best

Went with the family for the buffet Positive points The starters are nice especially the gol gappay and tandoori wings The nihari is nice Gulab Jamum very nice Decent price £19 for adult Negatives The haleem was not nice needs improving Also the waiters were always near the table very eager to take the dirty plate away Got told kids under 5 was free but then got told it’s kids under 4 that’s free and my kids 4 so I had to pay so not very professional Overall decent for a one off visit

Amazing foods and service. Fiaz the manager has been exceptional as well as Ahmed ayar super helpful and great to be here. Value for money and love the service.

At last find some good place to dine in. Food taste is amazing, specially the service is very good, specially the younger Pakistani guy is very calm and humble. Highly recommended.

Always been asked by the team tha jaleb is hot and fresh . Eventually when i come the its cold. Everything else is good

Very nice food love mixed grill starters 😋 lamb chops and fish tika was great I loved it I will try again 😊😊

Below average food. No variety. Improper management. No arrangements as per iftaar requirements. Better to eat at home that wasting ur money, time and energies.

Not so good for family - had buffet, some dishes are really great like nihari, rolls and chaat but all others were average.

READ THE REVIEWS PEOPLE AND SAVE THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND POSSIBLE UPSET STOMACH! Shameful methai is stale and when I opened the box this is what was inside a few dried up pieces, minus the couple I tried but still this is disgusting the young guy at the counter was rude taking to his friend while I was clearly waiting to be served then made me feel as if I was making it an inconvenience for him to do his job. He didn’t weigh methai so I believe knowingly overcharged me for few pieces of out of date food. This is shocking how they are allowed to treat paying customers like this. Too many decent alternatives out there will never step foot back in here.

Best buffet in UK so far. The food and service was amazing. Will definitely recommend for best halal buffet.

Great selection of sweets. Buffet options were also decent considering the price. Recommend Karak chai and Special puri halwa platter.

Simply the best buffet in Manchester, right at the start they serve each table with a freshly cooked mix grill which is worth the entire price itself. Staff are very polite and parking right at the back.

Just purchased chicken pastries , filling was very little about 5 grams which is really bad. Customer buy chicken pastries because of filling not for pastry. Sanam needs to pay attention on quantity and quality. Very bad experience.

We visit the longsight sanam restaurant it’s a Lovely place with nice food and atmosphere we have had the buffet a few times and also tried breakfast and lunch menu. The staff is absolutely amazing very respectful and looked after us very well as we had babies with us the staff made it very comfortable. Lovely friendly staff with very good customer service would definitely recommend to go with family also lovely place to relax and enjoy with friends and family

First time trying the buffet here at Sanam. A good selection of starters, mains & desserts.
