Absolutely delicious! A hidden gem in Honley, and we will definitely be back. The food is all fresh and prepared from scratch, very flavoursome and equal to, if not better than a highly rated Lebanese restaurant we eat from in London. The baklava is the best we've ever had! Staff are friendly and attentive from the minute you step through the door, relaxed atmosphere and great for couples or families. You always know you've found a great place when you are leaving and thinking about what to have next time!

What an absolute hidden gem! Had a meal here with a few friends and it was absolutely wonderful. We felt really welcomed and looked after as soon as we arrived. The food was absolutely gorgeous, and the staff were all excellent. Two of our group are vegan and the staff were so easy and accommodating with making sure the menu options were clear and even helped with slight adjustments to ensure they were catered for. Highly recommended, we will visit again soon :)

We were made to feel very welcome from stepping through the door. The food was delicious. Couldn’t fault it. Hummus was the best we had, definitely won’t be buying the supermarket Hummus anytime soon! Moussaka was full of flavor! Absolute gem and be visiting again soon.

The food is amazing the staff friendly and attentive. I had the Marina hot Meza starter which was crisp and very tasty then the Shish Tawouk which was also very good both came with something neither myself or my friend had ever tried which was pickled turnip. It was delicious. For pudding I had a baklava and two of the traditional coffees. Overall a place to try. Will be back

We went to Savaro for the first time, what a great experience. We were greeted so warmly and the staff are so lovely and go out of their to make sure you have a lovely experience. We used to live in the middle east and by far this is the best we have ever been to. We ordered mix starter for two and a Fatayer jebne for starters the portions were very generous and soooo fresh. For mains we shared our mains, we went for lamb and chicken shawerma, the lamb melts in your mouth and chicken shawerma full of flavour, all served with rice. The rice though you could have it by it self, we had to even ask for the secret recipe. We will defiantly be back with the kids as this is now our favourite place to go.

Was looking forward to this first visit but it will be the last. Cold dining room: The starters chicken wings 2 , and Harisa Potatoes were very expensive for what was provided. The chicken was nice and hot but the potatoes were pretty awful. No sauce, just a smattering of potatoes and three bits of lack lustre red pepper. Something badly needed here. Main courses were , in the case of the chicken, very dry and difficult to swallow. The tuna thing was not good at all. Not worth the price £65.00 1 glass of wine and 1 half pint of beer.

We love going to Savaro! The atmosphere and service is top. Staff always go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. We went on Thursday with family and ordered the mix mezze, marina and fatayer jebne to share between the 4 of us, followed by mix grill, sheaf and lamb chops. Their lamb is the best we have ever had. Every thing is always so fresh and clean, you can tell they use top quality ingredients. It's our new favourite restaurant. We will be back soon.

Visited for the first time last night with friends. Service was very good and server was friendly, pleasant and helpful. The restaurant wasn't overly warm and could have done with some heating. The food itself was of excellent quality but it was very very expensive and poor value for money. My wife and I shared the starter which was £15.95 and a main dish, the Mashawi Mix which was £18.95 but the portions were small and not value for the price.

I went here with my partner and his friends for his birthday (visited Sunday 30th July). Absolutely fantastic food. The menu has cold and hot mezze available and then mains. The portion sizes were wonderful. The coffees came in such beautiful Turkish style cups. We booked in quite early (5.30). The restaurant was very peaceful and staff gave excellent service, going through the menu with us and answering our questions. All the food was really fresh (the breads were delicious). We also were treated to some drumming and a bonus birthday baklava for my partner (he hated it - the rest of us loved this). The place is really clean and toilets fab. I have eaten at most of the Lebanese restaurants in and around Huddersfield and I have to say Savaro's is my top Lebanese place now. It certainly is on the pricier side but well worth it for the quality and service that you receive.

We visited Savaro last Saturday with the whole family, it was our first visit. We were impressed from the moment we entered to the moment we left. It was my daughters birthday, we were greeted by the owner with smiles and happy birthday wishes. We chose a selection of hot and cold mezze, which included the best hummus we have ever had served with fresh baked bread so light along with Fettoush salad which was so tasty and fresh, Father's Jebne, cheesy boat shaped bread , which the kids loved and Marina , thin bread stuffed with minced meat, served with a red sauce which was out of this world. For Mains we ordered lamb chops, Shekhar, Mousavi and mix grill. I must say the lamb was the best we have ever had in any where we have been to. So tender and fresh all served with rice which you could have just eaten it by it self as it was so flavourful and light. The service was wonderful, attentive and very cheerful. We can not wait to come back as this is now our favorite restaurant.

Ate at this place after hearing some good reviews. As soon as arrived - noticed it was freezing cold. We kept our jackets on throughout our meal. Ordered hummus - cost £6.59 - the hummus was not like normal hummus - it had a creamy/mayo texture - came out with one piece of small bread/pita. Tasted terrible. It had been thinned out with Mayonaise. I ordered sea bass with vegetables. I eat a lot of fish and could tell straight away that they did not serve sea bass. Extremely disappointed as I could tell they served a basa fillet of fish instead - as I said I eat a lot of fish! I double checked with the waiter if it was sea bass and he said it was. This fish cost £16 - shocking to be served a cheap cut of fish. It came with a salad - cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes in a dried mint dressing. For this type of price I expect some fresh mint leaves in my salad at least! Daughter ordered a mousakka - she didn’t enjoy it at all. Son ordered chicken pieces (marinated) - he was starving and couldn’t even finish it off. The bread pieces that it came with was hard. We were the third family to arrive as we had booked to eat early in the evening. We ordered more or less as soon as we got the menu. We waited 30 mins for our food and noticed that other families had arrived during that time - they all got served before us. The food was piping hot. So a bonus. The best thing to eat here was the rice! Altogether- I feel we were ripped off. Food not delicious and feel the most disappointed at being served basa fish instead of paying the premium price of £16 for sea bass. Won’t be eating here again.

I visited with my husband for an anniversary meal. It started off ok but showed signs for improvement.We ordered two starters but they only brought one out then the other arrived a few minutes later. The first starter was Luke warm but that might have been due to the delay. We ordered the potato’s and chicken wings. The potatoes tasted ok but the chicken was really nice and I’d recommend this dish.When the main meals arrived the same thing happened again with the service. My meal arrived alone then my husbands a few minutes later. I can understand with a big party bringing the meals out staggered but when there is only two people dining it’s very disappointing.I ordered the lamb vermicelli which didn’t excite me to look at but the lamb was very nice. The rice and noodles were greasy and if it didn’t come with the tsasiki sauce I wouldn’t have been able to finish it. I was also expecting more salad with it but it was more of a complimentary decoration.My husband ordered the mixed grill dish, although he enjoyed it he was unimpressed that it was served with only half a pitta and not sure why it wasn’t served with a full one especially for the price.We decided to try somewhere different for a special occasion but this won’t be somewhere we’ll be going back to in a hurry.

It’s very rare I eat until I can eat no more but the food is so good it’s hard to stop. We’ve sampled a lot of the menu now, nothing has disappointed and even when I’ve thought “I don’t really know what that is” it’s been amazing. The meat is beautiful, the vegetarian dishes so tasty and the hummus will make you question the grainy crap you get from the supermarket.

We were very warmly welcomed by the hostess / owner and seated comfortably. We were soon served a free appetiser, a small cold mezze. We are not familiar with Lebanese food, and it was very interesting to try our mains of Fetit Dejaj (rice and chicken with a tarator sauce, nuts and coriander - the sauce meant the dish was served lukewarm which was fully explained as I ordered) and Savar Ma'Qaly (a mixture of bulgar wheat and vermicelli with minced lamb). Both were extremely enjoyable, and we finished by sharing a baklava. Service was very pleasant throughout.

They also serve their own freshly baked bread loafs which added to the great taste. The hostess was very nice and we appreciated all her food recommendations. This was overall a great experience and I would definitely come back.

I love this place. I came here in November with some girlfriends and didn't have a clue what to expect. Honley is full of foodie places but this is very different, Very authentic Lebanese food and we ordered and shared all the platters.

This Lebanese restaurant is run by very friendly people, and provides good food and excellent Lebanese wines - very reasonable prices for the food, even if the wines cost a wee bit more (but they are worth it).

Savaro opened for lunches in December which was great for us. We had felafel wraps with salad and sliced potatoes plus a sauce. The felafels were homemade and so tasty; a good filling lunch. I loved the sliced potatoes which were nicely thin. As always great, friendly service in a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

We had a wonderful lunch here - really lovely staff and the food is fantastic- really fresh, interesting and tasty! Everything was perfect- clearly freshly-made with the best ingredients. It makes a lovely change from the usual cuisines about and we will definitely be becoming regulars here.

Our first visit. Definitely won't be our last. All 4 had different starters, with no idea really what we had ordered! Every one was beautiful. Mains also excellent. The last one on the menu (a mix of 3 meats with rice, potato slices, salad, flatbread and a fabulous mild chili dip) is one we will go back for any day of the week! Highly recommended. Very friendly warm welcome too, and a really nice Lebanese red wine.

Our first visit to Savaro and hopefully won't be the last! Delicious food, well explained by the lovely Lebanese daughter who was perfect front of house. Great service and food from start to finish and thanks for the surprise birthday sweet treat. Hope we'll be back soon!

Fantastic fresh home cooked Lebanese food. This is absolutely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at and I’ve been to a lot ! I can’t recommend it enough. You’ll have to be patient because mum cooks everything from scratch but well worth waiting for. Excellent vegetarian food also, not just a thrown together veggie option ! Manager Jiyan ( hope Ive spelled that right) welcomes every single person warmly and affectionately. We ate fattoush, spinach stew and some veggie starters. The home made bread is gorgeous ! Best restaurant in the area

Heard so many good reviews about this place, thought we would give it a go.....had a drink at the bar..fine.. but then had to ask for a menu to browse...taken to table & waited a good 20 mins for order to be taken & it wasn't busy....food was absolutely fabulous!!! but staff didn't really seem to know what they were doing, our mains were given to wrong table & returned to kitchen then brought to us...a table apart! Barman wandering around asking who had ordered a certain drink. All in all would we return? Unfortunately probably not.

Went here for the first time, from the moment we entered the staff were so friendly and attentive. We shared the hummus and salad starters which were very tasty. Mains we shared again the lamb and chicken kebabs well cooked and full of flavour. The young waitress who I think was the owners daughter was super friendly and a real credit to the place. Good value meal I would definitely recommend and will most certainly be back.

Not visited for a while but always enjoyed it. This last visit I really enjoyed the meal in fact it was excellent. Also they now have a great Lebanese house wine. Do try a mixture of starters if there are a few people. It’s great for sharing

Wow! This was our first visit here despite living nearby for the last 6 months. We fancied something “different “ and I really can’t recommend this place enough. Gorgeous hot and cold starter (falafel, aubergine dip & bread feta boat thing!) were all incredible. Mains even better. I’ll attach photos as I can’t remember dish names. In summary, don’t hesitate to come here

Lovely food and friendly service. Portions are large and you definitely won't leave hungry! Plenty of meat options, but also clearly labelled vegetarian dishes and everything comes with salad so it's not too heavy. Well worth a visit, a nice alternative to the chain options in the Town Centre.
