Shahbarose in Manchester

The food was absolutely gorgeous! I had this place recommend to me by a Syrian friend so went in with high expectations and it was met! We didn't feel rushed off of our feet to choose and the waiters checked in with us during our meal. It was such good value for money. Everything was clean and tidy. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone if you don't need wheelchair accessibility:)

The grilled fish is made to perfect. We like it very, very, very much. Service is nice and polite. We have enjoyed a great meat and good time here.

It’s amazing place and awesome food and very nice service thank you so much for everything Im very happy to visit you 😍😍😍

Great fresh delicious taste and on time delivery

the food was delicious and all the service perfectly fine friendly and everyone welcomed us

It's scandalous that food is still allowed to be offered here. There are 'no smoking' signs everywhere while the waiters are more interested in their hookah than their work. Glad we weren't served by the person in charge of the food. We left before the food tasted like smoke.

The food tasted really nice but the price for what you get is not right. £18 for a "plate" of shawarma gets you 2 small naan, handfull of chips, handful of shawarma and "salad". Plenty of places nearby that do better value for money on shawarma

Tasty food, amazing service and friendly staff

From outside unexpected you find a nice restaurant with tasty food.

Very disappointed. Food was really bad. Chops was burn and was bone only no meet. Chicken and lamp tekah very chewy. Kabab was the worst. Dry no test. Not recommended at all.

Very bad experience with this restaurant ,I ordered today some full grilled chicken according to My friend recommendation but I receive some burned piece of chicken not fresh cooked dry and black colored also smelly The thing that we are fasting and have guest ,I really don’t recommend this place for any one

Brolliant, invited personally by the owner and his family for a fascinating open buffet Iftar. All food of high quality and juicy meat and beautiful flavours. Chef said I look like mo Salah. Rob, if you don’t want meat I wouldn’t eat lamb and kimmie go the chicken was beautiful

It's was so lovely having food and coffee with them. I'm so enjoying 🤗🤗 Thanks for the service 🙏 🙌

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Shahbarose through Uber Eats, and despite a mix-up with my order, the experience turned out to be outstanding. When I contacted the restaurant about the error, they not only promptly rectified it by sending me another order the next day, but they also included an extra complimentary item . The owner personally delivered the order and took the time to apologize for the mistake, which truly impressed me. Such dedication to customer satisfaction is rare to find and speaks volumes about the commitment of the team at Shahbarose. Moreover, the food itself was absolutely delicious! Each dish was bursting with Arabic authentic flavors, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs. The grilled meats and chicken were incredibly tender, and the refreshing tabbouleh and fattoush perfectly complemented them. Each bite was a delightful I highly recommend Shahbarose to anyone craving authentic Arabic cuisine and exceptional service. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be ordering again!, highly recommend

Amazing place, and amazing service

Good times spent with friends at Shahba rose, a friendly staff and good food indeed.

I reeeally wanted to go to this place and give it five stars. I’ll start with the positives for that reason. The menu is authentic, with a couple of familiars for the less adventurous (like biryani) and plenty of good Arabic food for those that want something you can’t get in most places The cook(s) definitely know how to cook the food. The people complaining about the food being burned clearly don’t realise that this is supposed to be chargrilled (they aren’t painting the effect on like some places, this is the real deal). Where it falls short is that the ingredients, while fresh, aren’t as fresh as they could be. There are only two items which lost the fifth star entirely - and they’re so easy to fix! The onions have clearly been chopped in advance. First, that really is lazy. There were only eight people in there when we went. Second, they’ve been chopped so far in advance that they’ve developed the distinct smell and taste that comes with leaving chopped onions to sweat. We got the shawarma as one of our dishes. When it came out hot, it was stunning. A real highlight. As it cooled. The taste of the sweaty salad started to take over. It ruined it. Unfortunately, the second item also started to make the dish sticky and soggy The oil wasn’t clean. You could taste it. Again, we were one of the first tables served that night so this really shouldn’t have been the case. Even worse, this dirty oil infected every cooked dish that we had It’s a real shame because the building is very clean! I have no concerns about hygiene but the oil has clearly been used, reused, and left to be used again for a few more nights The quality of the menu and cooking itself, along with the service from the staff, should make this place five stars, even without sprucing up the outside. Unfortunately, these two issues knock a full star off I genuinely hope that they address these items because this place deserves some real appreciation

We got a Mixed Grill and it was plenty of food for two of us. It came with rice and bread and a little salad so it was a good value. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. The food and service were all excellent.

Good tasty food,i had lamb it was so delicious and tenter just fell apart under my fork .

I ordered on Uber Eats with low hopes, every time I tried vine leaves in Manchester, I really didn’t like it. These were very tasty and the closest to authentic which I have tried in this city. Sad that I only discovered this place near to when I am leaving.

The place is far from the center and the building is dilapidated from the outside. There are no signs directing you to enter. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly.

Food was excellent overall so rather a shame that the place overall was tired looking and the effort seemed to be on the adjoining shisha lounge. Outside looked rather off-putting but inside was considerably better. Main dishes great with fabulous 🍋 flavour

One of the best Syrian restaurants. Great ambiance. We had Hummus, Grilled chicken wings(spicy), Shish Tawook, shawarma(for 2) and Kharouf Mahchi. Everything was just delicious. The owner himself served us, was very friendly and hospitable. They dont offer Kunafah but the owner recommended us 2 of their famous desserts and both came out fantastic. Our overall experience (in 2 visits) has been excellent and would highly recommend this place to everyone. 👍👍👍

I came out for dinner with my partner, my mum and her Husband. What a lovely place. I have never tasted such flavourful food! Absolutely outstanding. The menus are a little scruffy but that can easily be overlooked by the amazing service. The staff are friendly and attentive! I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

Quite simply some of the best food I've ever had! Atmosphere was relaxing and calm with fantastic service. Will definitely be back again!

Yesterday I attended an event. I requested vegetarian food in advance when booking my place. When food was being brought to the tables I asked two different members of staff to confirm what was vegetarian. I was told all starters were vegetarian, and that there was one vegetarian main course with rice. One member of staff pointed to the starters which were being arranged on the table and said they were vegetarian. The issue is this: one plate arranged on the table had falafel, spring rolls, and another item - which contained LAMB. This was arranged with the starters. I was NOT told they were NOT vegetarian and took a mouthful. This is the first time I have taken meat in 25 years. This is a disgrace. Do you not respect people's beliefs, allergies, and values? You did not take care to inform me what was vegetarian despite me asking on quite a number of occasions for confirmation. It was not a matter of a mistake, it was negligence and failure to help a customer with a specific request. I am very very upset by this.

Empty place, yet the waiter was rushing our order and rushing to get us out - there was literally only one other couple there. Food was not very good.. At all. I got the lamb and rice and my husband got the chicken and rice. Wings for starter and it was so overdone so dry, old and chewy - tasted like a few days old. The lamb had so much fat and barely any meat and the chicken was overcooked and dry. I actually got food poisoning from the lamb and had the runs.. I was also hurling in the bathroom that night and the following morning. Would not ever return nor recommend this place.

Really good tasty food. Tabulah is awsome

Delicious food and generous portions. Most of the diners were extended families celebrating Eid. The staff were great. There is no alcohol served, but that wasn't a problem as their Mango Juice hit the mark and complemented the food. I recommend that people try this fantastic place. 👌

One of the best middle eastern restaurants hidden gem. The food is delicious highly recommended you will not be disappointed. Staff a friendly and welcoming.

Lovely place and lovely staff and best food ever♡♡♡♡♡highly recommend

What a wonderful restaurant with delicious extraordinary dishes... one of the best food experiences in my life . I recommend this place so much... the owner is so nice.. the workers were very Friendly…

The food was delicious, prepared well and serviced very well. It was very much value for money. Thanks guys

Amazing restaurant and Shisha bar. The food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is run by a family and they were very warm and welcoming. I've been in on 3 different occasions and have enjoyed every visit. I would highly recommend you visit if you have a craving for Middle Eastern cuisine. The prices are fair as well, got to indulge in the mixed grill, hot starter platter and the grilled sea bass - All of which were quite delicious. They also had various cakes and desserts on offer, including Baklava and Cheesecake. Will be visiting again.

Very nice place for food and entertainment

Good, okay. The food is delicious and as we like it. It is well cooked, the dishes are well presented, and the prices are neither cheap nor too high. Note: Only the facilities need more cleanliness and care, and even the children’s chairs need to be cleaned. I did not accept putting my son in them. Thank you for the good treatment.

Nice place and good service, but didn't like the lamb because it was full of fat . Dont know if this is normal .

Beautiful little cafe food is always fresh and tasty moctails are just as from bar ,shisha arrives quick and the guys are good always check coals you don’t need to ask them to do,

Staff and owner are trying to be nice. Food quality is poor.

Nice food, one of the best middle Eastern Arabic food in town, friendly staff and the owner is really kind. Highly recommended.

The food was nice and authentic!

Hope not anyone to go there and waste their money on this restaurant. Very Disappointing food & service!

Great service, lovely food, visiting from London, definitely a hidden gem in Mancheste, would 100% come again!

Food was amazing. Freshteh Was very helpful highly recommended

I've had several meals at Shahba Rose, aswell as bought gift cards for family and friends. Superb food and a pleasant atmosphere with lovely and attentive hosts. Highly recommend.

Great dishes and shisha for shisha users

This’s the perfect place to try Middle Eastern food the food is spot on !! the service is amazing 🤩 i always go there with my family and friends and never leave disappointed!!! Everyone should try it !

It's very nice place , good atmosphere, the food tastes great as well , it can be a bit pricey tho.

Amazing food, big portions and brilliant service! The place is lovely and clean and the food is cooked freshly! The taste is amazing! Will definitely recommend and we will be back soon.

Below average Food teast not wow at all, the staff need more training .

First, let me start off by saying the food deserves 5 stars. My husband and I shared the mixed starter and the mixed grill, which was a lot of food, but we were able to sample a little of everything. The mezze starters were so fresh and a wonderful assortment. We especially liked the hummus and the beet dish. The mixed grill was just as good with a nice variety of marinated grilled meats that were served with fresh and grilled vegetables. Overall, the food and service were 5 star, the only reason we gave 4 stars is because the outside of the building needs some serious sprucing up but do not let that scare you away!

Amazing authentic Arabic food by a family run business who are really friendly and welcoming. The food was so tasty and flavourful, true Arabic flavour which can be hard to find. It was presented beautifully and the music added to the atmosphere. Everything we ordered was amazing and they even made us a special lemon mint drink :) 100% recommend and will be back again soon!

Good quality and delicious Mediterranean food.

Amazing service,food quality, Shisha perfect

We booked a table before coming. We had to wait an hour to be able to order an food. Then it took another 2 hours before they served us the food. And they gave us our starters and waited around 15 minutes for the main dishes. The food was delicious . The toilet smelled really bad and were not clean. Food 8/10 Service 0/10 Toilet 0/10

Visited on a Wednesday at 7pm, the restaurant had a simple but nice theme with the deco, toilets seemed clean but had a bit of a public toilet smell, would benefit from air fresheners. We were the only people in the restaurant-though considering the day and time I think that's why, I think this place probably does fill up more on the weekend as they have a Sunday buffet. Orderd meat samosa starter and hummus, hummus was nice in flavour and smooth, mini samosas were quite dry and plain in taste. For mains we got kofta kebab and grilled chicken with flat breads, again the meats were quite dry but the chicken flavour was nice. Having some sauces served with the dishes would have been nice but was only served with lettuce and onion. We orderd desi tea which was fresh not packet so we was glad about that, a little strong on the cardamon though. We purchased a ticket for our food via groupon and we didn't know how to access the code online at first to show we had baught the groupon ticket, the receptionist said i had to find it on my emails but the man who I presume was the owner or manager came out and he seemed quite impatient and said I have to find it on groupon (I was only looking at emails because thats what the receptionist told me to do), I just needed to have a couple of minutes to figure out to access the code from groupon but he seemed impatient and slightly stern. Earlier on in our meal he did seem quite nice though and blessed us with an Eid mubarak. The receptionist/waiter girl was realy nice and polite, she wasn't too familiar with the menu or the deal offer though but she did say she was a new worker, she also came to clear our plates when I hadn't quite finished eating, she was very nice though and I think just eager to do her new job right. Probably wouldn't re visit this place but perhaps a good place to go on a Sunday for the buffet for people who like very simple food, and somewhere casual to eat.

Open Buffet does not include any sweet. Dates are of cheep quality. No sweets or drink included. Small plates privided! No variety of meals. Limited meals some of the meals are cold. It worth £12 to £15 only not 20. I dont recommend it.

Good staff and delicious food ☺️ roomy interior . highly recommended for families .

I attended an event held here. Overall it was good. Good service. The food tasted good. I would recommend it for a small event.

Wonderful restaurant, excellent service, everything is always fresh and hot, reasonable prices

Always enjoyable. Delicious food and lovely ambience. Very friendly staff.

Was very lively when I visited on a weekday lunchtime

The food is very delicious, the prices are reasonable, the meals are large, and the service is fast

I attended a wedding here, the food was absolutely delicious. The hummus was the best I've ever had and the sheikh kebab and babaganoosh was also delightful. Definitely recommend and look forward to dining here outside of a wedding setting. The venue could do with updating a little but overall a fab experience.

Authentic, real authentic. The exact taste of Syrian food .

Hi, Very disappointed to use this voucher which was a gift. 1. The description of 'six course Lebanese feast' was actually a starter each, a main each and a shared dessert. So very misleading. 2. The original price quoted of £50.30 was also incorrect. Very limited starters (most expensive being £4.25 each). 4 mains to choose from (most expensive being £12.99) and a shared dessert (no choice given, just one dessert priced at £3.99). So if we didn't use the voucher and ordered the most expensive of each course then the bill would have come to £38.47 Grilled chicken was nice. We sent the Moussaka back to be microwaved as it was luke warm at best. No choice for dessert, just 4 small pieces of Baklava. Service was slow. Appreciate Groupon takes a big cut but at least charge a price were it works for you and the consumer. I would rather pay more than having the feeling of being short changed.

Food was very good and delicious. Very nice friendly and welcoming staff. Very clean restaurant. Thank you for your services and wonderful hospitality.

Absolutely recommended. Orderd Maklouba earlier tonight. Food very rich in flavour, tasted how it should exactly be, well presented, generous portion and definitely good value for money. Delivery was quick too. Well done and all the best

A very charming and cozy yet delicious food A place for all

Simply excellent. Highly recommend. Beautiful Iranian waitress. Wonderful food and service. Definitely give this place a try.

Very good food. The waitress spot on

Tasty food fresh ingredients. We will definitely visit again

What an awesome place and amazing food.Staff were friendly and helpful. Kids had an amazing time.i would definitely recommend a visit

Please do not order from here, it’s not worth a single penny. The most tasteless food I’ve ever eaten and not to mention the poor portion sizes. The lamb chops were burnt to a crisp as you can see and yet still somehow the inside was tender and hard to chew.

Yummy halal syrian food and friendly staff. Family friendly.

Excellent place. Food and service were amazing.

I did my baby first birthday. The food was so delicious and the service was perfect. The staff was so helpful .everything was amazing as I want. I am so recommended

One of Manchester’s best kept secrets this place is immaculate with great attentive waiting staff and the tastiest Arabic food around We came here on a Groupon voucher but will definitely be coming back soon as the food was fabulous, tender and healthy too. The chicken biriani was the tastiest and most tender that I’ve ever had Try it, you will NOT be disappointed

I quite like the food, the meats are cooked really nicely, the salads are delicious. The only thing is that there is no fresh juice, but the coffee is pretty good too. You can have shisha in the coffee shop attached to it. The staff are really friendly too.

Very nice atmosphere and excellent customer service. The girl which was serving us , was very nice and polite . Very nice and beautiful presentation of food. Highly recommended

Got some takeaway from this restaurant and it was was amazing.

Another amazing taste and awesome presentation by shahba rose honestly breath taking dinner

Great food!! We got the Lebanese feast.... would highly recommend visiting, the starters were incredible!!!

Delicious Syrian Delicious Syrian cosine whichosine which is famous for its mixed starters and grill, reasonable prices and good portions topped with friendly service.

Excellent service and food. Great time had. I recommend. Plus large car park.

Very Disappointing food & service. I ordered via Ubereats and got my food spilled all over due to their cheap unsecured packaging. The packaging they use is similar to what you get in cheap fast food places, probably worse. Food was not tasty neither. Do not expect quality here.

Gave me food poisoning next day and I puked all the food a ate the precious day

i’m north african and absolutely adored the food very delicious and flavourful the food was gorgeously garnished and arranged so alluringly loves it and will for SURE come again only four stars coz it was SO hot inside

Excellent fresh and well presented food. Good prices. Laid back atmosphere in the restaurant and relaxing decor. Shisha bar next door if you wanted to go after your food. They do a buffy on a sunday which I will go back to try once the buffy opens.

Bad service wait for food more than 1 hour been there more than one time steel same and food wasn't half price 178£ they took 108£

Amazing place, very testy food Specially lamb with rice,l loved it. Staffs are so friendly and respectful,great service.HIGHLY RECOMMEND .

the food is different from the picture the food is very little as if we are paying for it for food and not tasting in my first order was scattered and shameful i asked again so as not to be ashamed with guests Without money, I ordered a lot of food, but because it would be filling, I asked for another time, and we delayed so that I would not be embarrassed with the guests. 5

We visit shahba rose last week Best restaurant in Manchester, fresh and delicious food , it was fantastic the staff so welcoming and helpful and the prices very fair definitely we’ll be back over and over again Highly recommend

Lovely place, amazing food, very good service and nice atmosphere. Also, the staff is very good and friendly.

The worst service and food quality I have ever had in this restaurant. The venue inside was boiling with no care of running air conditionand I waited around 1,30 hour for the food to come. Also, the food was terrible and very less than the amount ordered. Hope not anyone to go there and waste their money on this restaurant.

Delicious food ,, Great and lovely staff specially (Ahlam) , perfect service, manger so friendly ,, very clean place . Definitely coming back ❤️❤️

Today was my first visit to this restaurant and unfortunately the last. They had a problem with service and management. Packed restaurant with over 20 tables (over 100 customers) has only two waitresses and the owner serving customers! The starters and the mains arrived together and the drinks 20 min later and I had to go to the counter and ask for them. The restaurant was boiling hot with over 30 degrees outside and a broken air conditioner inside.

Excellent authentic Syrian / Lebanese food.

Food was plentiful but not the best quality, pleasant waitress, though she clearly didn't understand that the mask needs to be worn all the time, not just moments before arriving at the table.

Delicious Middle eastern food. Lovely atmosphere & friendly staff, great service. I would highly recommend & go again with friends and family.
