Saray in Manchester

Great taste in a location that is easy to reach after a short research. Those who do not visit will be deprived of this taste.

My friend and myself went one Sunday afternoon. For me it was the first time. Service with a smile, always efficient and helpful.

I told my family how amazing the Turkish breakfast was at saray, so everyone was looking forward to this amazing breakfast. We were really disappointed when the breakfast arrived. It was not served with Turkish tea and only 2 flat breads between 3 people. I think the new owners have cut out some of the things that were previously served with the breakfast such as olives jam nuts dried fruit etc although they have increased the price. Sadly we will not be dining hear again!!

Fabulous food competitively priced. Friendly atmosphere and great service.

amazing food so delicious every time , my favourite place to eat I highly recommend you want be disappointed lovey atmosphere friendly polite stuff the owner is so lovely and has gone out of his way to Accommodate

The food is always delicious and tasty. My favourite place to eat I highly recommend i been many times . The place is lovely and clean the staff and owner are welcoming polite and make it a great place

Delicious food and great service at good value.

Great service and delicious food. Definitely recommend

The food here is consistently good. Been about 5 timers and have yet not to enjoy my meal. Staff helpful, and the tables are not crammed together.

Booked a table in Saray for my 50th birthday. The food and service was amazing, couldn’t fault it. There were 7 of us and we sat in the outside eating area. My partner also took balloons and a cake before the booking and the owner was very accommodating. We had a fantastic evening.

Fab food, superb service. Highly recommended it s a hidden gem I always return to again and again. Eko the owner is a gentleman

We arrived at 9:40, although it looked open from a long road, it was closed when we arrived, we came all that way for nothing.

I come here every Eid and the food and atmosphere is always amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We don’t have to wait too long for the food and it’s over all a great experience. Thank you :)

Beautiful calm atmosphere. Friendly welcoming service. Delicious food and Turkish breakfast. I have been going here last three years and always good and delicious food. I recommend everyone. Thanks

Always a great experience, the most nicest of people. Service is amazing

New management, new focus , new menu , love this place more now So many same cuisines locally but this o e stands out for me 👌🏼

Everything was very nice, I recommend it. Even fresh hot bread came with breakfast, it was perfect.

Always Fantastic customer service. family friendly. Absolutely delicious food. We come here regularly and will continue on coming regularly.

Always a pleasure, friendly ,new management making good changes My go to place Best in Whorlton by far Great for take home food too

Superb Turkish food, great service, all at very fair prices. Our party of four greatly enjoyed our visit. Totaly recommend

Nice hot food...reasonably priced

I don't normally leave reviews but these guys go well above and beyond! After performing a panto round the corner, they managed to accommodate 28 of us at 10.15 with no hurry to rush us out even though we were there for ages, and the food is incredible. Everyone really enjoyed it. Massive thanks to Saray and the whole staff for being really lovely. Nothing is ever a problem! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!

Food amazing. Prices are very reasonable. And the service is top. Definitely will go back again

The food was excellent and tasty. The staff were friendly. I want them to start selling their homemade chilli sauce in jars.

New owners and the interior is nice more spacious.

The hummus is amazing here as the bread is freshly baked, good options for vegetarians

Absolutely appalling service. Please don’t order from here if you are Muslim! Ordered the halal breakfast and they gave pork instead of halal sausages and rashers (i could see they looked very pink and fatty) I called to ask if they can make the halal instead and I return the one they gave but they said no because it’s a loss for them. I was not able to get my refund on just eat either. What a waste. Bad customer service. Avoid.

Amazing service! Food came so quick was the best breakfast I ever had. My go to spot in Manchester

How on earth can you charge 2.50 for a warm glass of coke which comes out of a can ??? You can get a multipack for a few more pound

Good turkish food. We ordered a Turkish sausage sujuk toastie which came with a side of fries, sucuk omlette and hummus which came with a piece of turkish bread. Everything tasted good, thanks Saray!

I’ve Visited a few times now food is lovely my favourite is the garlic prawns. Staff even went out there way to make a sucuk pizza for my son who is very fussy with food and rainbow mocktails which he was really happy with made he’s day. In all you can’t fault anything most importantly staff are lovely and welcoming.✨

One of our most favourite places to go for food in Chorlton. Have never been disappointed, everything has always been delicious, and the service is always amazing. Can only recommend!

Really good lunch deal. I had the meze. Do go i recommended it

We went here yesterday. We drove about 45 mins to get there only to wait another 45 mins for our food. The waiter forgot our order which was unacceptable given that there was only about 5 tables of people and it was breakfast time. One of the kitchen staff came to apologise and then took another half hour to get the food on our table. We drank almost 2 pots of tea before the food arrived. We were not pleased.

Everything was very nice. The food was tasty. Served was polite. Thank you.

Menemem was delicious and Bread was too soft.

Nipped in on a whim because i was hungry and didnt want pub food and i am so glad i did. The food was beautiful, the atmosphere was claming and relaxed and the the service was exceptional. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Great food friendly service had a lovely time

The food was great, had a burger and a salad with my partner. Service was quick, but the food wait time was a bit longer than expected due to a completely empty restaurant, but nothing too bad. The salad looked amazing and tasted the same. The burgers can use a bit of smash on them because it’s nearly impossible to bite the whole thing in one mouthful.

Went for a Turkish Breakfast. Everything was 10/10. From the service to the food! The gentleman that served us was very professional and nice.

So expensive and it is not worth the money

The breakfast smelled like fish and it was so expensive.

By far our favourite place for authentic and tasty Turkish food. Everything we have tried so far has been amazing including the fresh warm bread. If you want something off menu then nothing is too much trouble. The owner is very attentive, friendly and has a great sense of humour which makes the whole dining experience a complete package. It’s a must try if you are in the area.

Very freshly made food better than my own cooking !!

Warm welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff, and an array of flavorful dishes, it's a must-visit - best in Manchester!

Amazing food and staff always enjoy

A friendly welcome. Standard Turkish food. We shared a meze platter and ordered some kebabs and a couple of bottles of Turkish wine. No other diners.

Ausgezeichnet um ein richtig gutes englisches Frühstück zu essen! Und bitte nicht mit Toast, sondern mit dem türkischen Brot welches täglich frisch gebackene wird, essen. Man kann schön draußen sitzen und die Menschen in Manchester beobachten. Ich empfehle es! Ich habe das Frühstück um 12:30 Uhr gegessen, 😅

Came here for breakfast with the family. It EXCEEDED our expectations. The food was delicious, choice of music was great, and the hospitality and friendliness that the staff radiate is just special. I strongly recommend visiting this place - they seem to also do lunch and dinner.

Really great food, the starter platter is simply amazing, we couldn't manage a desert after the sizzling chicken and sizzling meatball dishes, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. A very warm welcome from Eko and his Team Thoroughly recommend

10/10 !!! The nicest Turkish cafe! Prices are so reasonable and huge portions of food! I went for lunch today and ordered a full English and it was the nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. The Sausage & bacon was cooked to perfection and cooked throughly. And I was offered the choice of Turkish bread or regular bread. I tried the Turkish bread for the first time and it was unbelievable! Genuinely the best loaf of bread I’ve ever had! I highly recommend the fresh bread! My dad ordered the club sandwich with fresh chicken and Turkish sausage and it was unreal! We ordered a pot of tea to share, and it lasted us 4 cups each! Honestly the best cafe I’ve been too! The quality and service is 10/10 We enjoyed our visit here and will be back again soon!

Joined family for lunch. Had sizzler beef strips with wrap plus a chocolate/cream waffle. Tasty!!!

Food is amazing and the owner is very welcoming, fantastic humour. We love visiting this restaurant

Truly delicious food, and such variety. My partner and I only discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and have already been twice! We’re both vegetarian and there are tonnes of options which are tasty and also feel quite healthy. The bread is the best I have tasted, and we would really recommend the Esme. The host is so kind and attentive and gave us a free dessert as I am pregnant so eating for two!

I’ve been coming here for years but haven’t visited since around November 22. Didn’t know it had new owners untill we arrived, restaurant is still as nice as before but obviously the food has changed. Didn’t realise untill we were seated and it’s no fault of the owner, chefs etc but I got my usual dish and it was completely different. I didn’t eat any of it. Waitress offered to change it I said no because I didn’t want anything else knowing it’s all different. It was no fault of there’s but also no fault of mine so expected the dish to be taken off the bill. I didn’t eat any of it yet got charged. I have anxiety and I felt awful asking for it to be removed but I shouldn’t of had to, Ive previously worked in hospitality for four years and it was basic courtesy not to charge customers for something with one piece of meat missing. It was full of oil and the meat was rock hard. Waitress was lovely but service was not the best. Would not go back

A good find in Chorlton. Friendly accommodating staff, very polite. Food was well presented, enjoyable and good value.

The best mezze we had it in Saray. İt was joyful under the sun in the balcony. Thank you very much for your hospıtality. See you again.

I asked in the notes to remove the tomatoes and mushrooms from the breakfast as I can’t stand them and don’t like the food waste but they were left on. The toast wasn’t buttered. If you’re going to pay a lot for a breakfast you’d hope it was right.

Great spot for turkish food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Lovely food and you get a lot for your money. I would definitely recommend!

Best experience ever ! Delicious food and very good service

The food was delicious ,I recommend it to everyone 💫

Fantastic food made with love and served with care and a smile. Excellent quality food and value for money. I would recommend this restaurant above others in Chorlton.

Excellent lunch today. Really excellent cold meze followed by chicken skewers which were delicious. Good value lunch deal.

Very good food and service and price Best one .

Decent breakfast, served a group of us (10) efficiently. Roughly £15 for breakfast and a hot drink

Great place even under new management the the place has now gone even better been coming here 11 years would highly recommend this restaurant 👌

Lovely food, friendly service. The homemade bread with the mezze starter was delicious. Would highly recommend the sizzler. Fantastic place, would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Had a family meal , friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Food was lovely plenty of it , would recommend the mixed mezze for starters , mixed grill was very tasty. Excellent service and great staff would highly recommend you to pay a visit.

It’s one of the best restaurants in the area, I’ve been coming here since 2020 and it gets better every time I come.

Amazing atmosphere, the food is sublime and the owner has comped myself and my wife multiple times under the new ownership. If you're partial to Turkish cuisine in Chorlton, this is the place to be, day and night. Portions are bigger than you see at first sight. Ingredients are always very fresh, without fail. Would recommend to anyone.

The food was very standard. At other Turkish restaurants we've had home made out of the oven bread, but here we got a tortilla wrap which looked like it had come straight out of a supermarket packet. There also seems to be a language difficulty with the guy running the restaurant.

Amazing place for Breakfast ✨️ quality product, professional costumer service . Highly recommende

Lovely food and drinks. Friendly staff. Music was a little loud. Not badly priced. Everything was clean and tidy.

This Restaurant has just changed hands and the food was just amazing as it used to be and the new management and staff was friendly and welcoming. We will be going back.

Not been here for quite a few years due to covid etc but last minute decided to go tonight. Eko was lovely we talked about turkey and what we love best. Shared stories and made us feel really welcome. Most importantly the food was amazing even a fussy teenager had empty plates. Will be back soon not leaving it as long this time! Thank you

It brought a quality to our region with its renewed staff and concept. The new menu is quite successful and delicious. 👏👏👏

Amazing food and atmosphere very friendly people 👌

Food was alright, great bread but salads were a bit weak. Maybe it's a culture thing but service was bizzare, so slow. Waitress poured my beer out and it was literally 50% head. After starters we waited 20odd mins before we had to ask for our plates to be cleared and mains served, we should've taken more notice of the uncleared tables when we arrived. Walked up to the till to pay at the end otherwise we might've still been there now.

The best Turkish resturant in Manchester,delicious food and reasonable prices

The food was excellent and good value, the service was good and unrushed which made for a very relaxed evening

We’d gone to Chorlton to do some Christmas food shopping. The best cheese shop and fishmongers in South Manchester are directly opposite Saray, so it was very handy for lunch. As well as their main carte of Turkish classics, they have a keenly priced (£15.95) set two course menu at lunch, with six or so choices at each course. So, there was a “chilli salad” (Ezme Salata) for one us. More dip than salad in texture, there was finely chopped walnuts, onion, tomatoes peppers, garlic. It was fine but would have stood more than the vaguest hint of chill that was in it. Went well with the large bread roll, topped with sesame seeds that came with it. A “mini mezze” was anything but mini. This was a generous main course sized mix of cacik, houmous, yoghurt with spinach, and another dippy thing that I’ve forgotten. There’s also a butter bean salad, some of the Ezme Salata, a slice of grilled halloumi and a filo triangle borek stuffed with feta. And there’s another bread roll. For mains, two lamb kofte kebabs were fine. Tasty, if a little dry. There’s grilled onion, green and red peppers. And rice and mixed salad. The rice and salad also sat alongside a vegetable moussaka – layered potato, aubergine, courgette, mushroom and peppers, with a béchamel sauce , topped with a cheese that was a bit overly plasticky. A decent enough lunch. Even though only two other tables were occupied, everything took the sort of time that made you glad you didn’t need to rush off anywhere.

Had a gorgeous meal here last night - fab food, great service and superb value for money 😊. I think the moussaka here is perhaps the best in the world - and the cheese triangles are to die for!!

Walked in for a late breakfast, my initial intention was to combine a little meze. I ended up getting a flatbread with spinach and cheese from their bk menu and a hot chocolate with whipped cream. What a lovely service, food and atmosphere. I'm happy I found out this option in Chorlton.

The food was delicious but the waitress was rude and didn't treat us well then at the end we asked her to separate the bill she said she can't because she has printed the bill.

Average food quality, very poor service 😢

Food was very good, best borek I can remember having ever and the lamb stew was excellent very rich and almost too much lamb, the house wine was good the coffee and baklava also good. The salad acompanyment was the only bit that was a bit dodgy. Not sure I like the seating layout and it was a bit quiet but I really enjoyed our visit.

Turkish restaurant, on main street, Sunday lunch. Parking where you can find it? Entrance is wheelchair friendly .Small restaurant, pleasant atmosphere, clean. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Menu is quite large, good variety and reasonable prices mainly. Fair wine list. This was our second visit, we were not disappointed.

Went here this evening for the first time based on the reviews. Main meal came with the tiniest portion of rice. Not enough to feed my three year old. Staff not very friendly and cooperative. Will not be coming back here again.

Just had a nice breakfast. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Best Turkish breakfast in Manchester

Delicious food and very friendly staff. Great atmosphere strong recommend..

Excellent Turkish restaurant with a lovely variety of menu options, cosy atmosphere and very helpful, attentive and friendly staff. Been here twice this year and fantastic service every time.

Delicious food, friendly and welcoming service. My 4 year old son insisted on coming back and we did. Portions are generous and can easily be shared. Thank you.

I am not someone to leave review but when a place is worth a good review and recommending then I won’t hesitate. Literally the best Turkish place for breakfast, felt like I was in Turkey. Highly recommending this place. Food was excellent, fresh bread and fresh food. Service beyond excellent staff are very friendly. And their price is very reasonable you can’t get this food and service for the price they offer… anywhere else in Manchester, nor in London.

Beautifullly cooked home-made food and warm helpful staff. Comfortable and inviting space too. Love it. Pictured here is the Sultans Chicken and Chargrilled King Prawns. Thank you! 😋

Amazing service. Friendly, affable, attentive. We popped in 30 mins after our reservation and they were accommodating. Food was amazing. The mousakka was divine! Creamy aubergine richness and a crispy cheese topping. Hearty food, wonderful staff. Felt like we were a art of their family. Will definitely be going again!!

I took my family of 8 here for my daughters birthday and the service and food were impeccable! I would recommend this restaurant to all clientele, be it families, friends, couples and all! Truly a lovely time and the food is wonderful! Thank you to the great team, you’re doing a brilliant job x

We went for Turkish breakfast. It was fabulous.The gozleme portion was really big. 1 full Turkish breakfast is enough for two people. We ordered menemen however we could not finish as we were so full:) The tastes of the breakfast was so delish. The staff were very friendly and the prices were reasonable. Great work. Keep going :)

Great food simply done. definitely going back

I regularly have a coffee outside the coca tree coffee shop and have been tempted by the smells of the food coming from Saray. Today my husband and myself took my mother in law in for lunch, and I'm sorry to say we we're so disappointed. We had the meze starter which was ok but nothing to write home about, then when the young lady came to clear the plates she asked us if we could keep the cultlery we had used because they had no-one to clean it which I then had to clean them with my napkin. We then had the chicken and lamb iskander and I'm sorry to say it was awful. We paid in full and didn't complain but un fortunately we won't be returning.
