Taam by night in Manchester

Worse than ever. Staff rude Food ok Place filthy Empty of customers Now I know why Have eaten many times here but that’s the last time.

The restaurant is dirty and the service is terrible. Just because it’s kosher doesn’t mean it has to be so bad. The food is average at best. Shame!

this restaurant is really good for a quick supper out and our family really enjoyed the food and atmosphere [but the service is not great] but all together i really recommend for a good supper out

Extremely disappointing. No customer service, mediocre food is not served hot and is over-priced. Presented in single-use plastic containers and cutlery so poor quality that it split when we ate. What a pity as this used to be a reasonable place to eat in the evening.

I actually like the food from here and the guys who cook it are generally nice, however the women working on the till with zero skill has to be the most bad mannered person Iv ever had the wdispleasure of meeting. Rude, unprofessional and appalling customer service. Unfortunately for this reason I won’t return again despite being a regular

Have eaten here a few times over the years. The food is always good and the atmosphere lively and local. Only concern is that the organisation is a little chaotic - for example staff can be a little relaxed in their work ethic (slow service and old plates tend to be left unattended) and there is too much high level dust gathering. Five people at work most recent visit, one sat down and another simply preparing his cigarette, the pair of them having an amusing chat, about the customers by the looks of it. (On a previous visit I recall a member of staff having a smoke just inside the rear door). Food today was served through a hatch next to a discarded bowl of soup. All these observations probably explains the 4* food hygiene rating. Owners advised to get a grip - if they read this review please receive it as constructive observation and not an attempt to knock you down.

Stumbled upon this great bakery/cafe on way out of Manchester to M60. When you establish how and what to order the food is outstanding. Shaslik in pitta bread with loads of fillings was cooked fresh to order. It was A1 delicious. Trouble is I don’t have reason to go to Manchester too often!

Standards really slipping, awful service, mediocre food at best, wrong order fulfilled. Not a pleasant experience. Has peaked and now spiralling decline. Won't return anytime soon.

No one in sun but took ages to complete a pargiot laffe and a habibi burger. Burger was overcooked and dry and there was not a lot of lamb (it cost £14.99 quite a hefty price for lack lustre experience!) the laffe was ok. I feel the attention to quality is dropping the customer service has always been questionable at best but food used to be worth it, not not so sure I think Taam needed to care s not more about their customers experiences and up their game.

Terrible service, the waiters are very rude!! Food is inconsistent and not presented nicely. I wound to near there.

Had about 5 takeaways from here and its never right, always arrives 30 mins late, tepid/cold, missing items. The owner doesnt care.. shame because the food is tasty but really awful service..

It was just me and a friend in there for lunch. No other customers! The WC was dirty, service was friendly. The chicken tikka and salad was tasty. The tummy pains and diarrhoea are unreal. How old was the chicken? Never again for me in that place.

The welcome was warm and the food was faultless and plentiful. Excellent service and generous portions. We'll be back when we next visit family in Manchester. Highly recommend Ta'am if you want the best ever shawarma.

Not sure if I can review if I didn’t eat BUT….planned a family meal at 1330 Sunday Oct 22. Went in to be told by owner that it was actually closed due to it not bring clean enough or something of that sort. But he was just sitting there with two other men and wasn’t really apologetic or bothered. They seemed be open an hour later so why he couldn’t he gave just said come back later? Took my custom elsewhere

Thought we would have treat this lunchtime haven't had take out from taams for some time. Sorry I did as was left felt very let down. I had a pergiyot in lafe and they had two pitta pergiyot kids meals. I asked for two salads on mine and one for the kids each. I keep kosher so the choice is limited although improving Inn this area. They forgot one of mine completely and gave me a half portion of a the other and very few pergiyot in my large (had before and nowhere near the same) the kids meals asked for one salad that was missed completely and no straws for their drinks and it came to over £34 with a portion of chips(half size of normal) for £4 taking the complete Michael. I won't go back in hurry they have too much competition now to serve meals like this. You have fallen in standard Taam maybe you should concentrate on quality of food and service instead of how many businesses you can have now you are expanding?

Dear Reader... Terrible and VERY rude service. My meal was not as ordered and they could not have cared less. They literally didn’t put in the meal what was ordered...The basic attitude is take it or leave it. So I took it as I’d paid for it. The food had been sitting around for 15minutes and they never notified me it was ready for collection on the order App. Happy to take the money on the App but not let you know your food is ready. Also Taam’s hygiene levels re dubious at best. If you want tasty cold (should be hot)kosher food and to be insulted on collection this is the place for you. If not just wait until you got to Jerusalem and go to Grill Bar!

Went Saturday evening noone else there which I expected. However he had burger on griddle for far too long and when I ate it it at home, I am sad to say it was a real disappointment (and I have supported Taams for nearly a...

Just had the food delivered. As usual, It is absolutely delicious and came bang on time. Can’t fault the food or service. Well done Ta’am, you continue to excel!!

The food is tasty. However,their delivery system is not good:the last few times , they have delivered the wrong side orders and desserts. They just assume that's what the customer wants - why not call the customer?? And dont waste your time calling to complain..

I've visited Taam many times and have never once been disappointed . it's definitely the best eaterie in prestwich and beyond The staff are very hospitable and friendly more like family If you want the best then look no further Jewish food to the highest...

Wanted to order from here for ages, and decided to give it a go. Ordered a Lebanese kebab. Came on time....But! It was stone cold, way too much bread, and salad. Asked for no onions as i really dont like them, and i know 100%...

If you want to be insulted, this is definitely the place to come. Customer service is non-existent and the woman I spoke to is the rudest person I have ever come across. She makes you feel like she’s doing you a favour by taking your...

Decent food. But agree with others staff not great. Don't EVER get a takeaway though. If they are missing anything you ask for instead of telling you they'll just ignore it. And food comes cold. Eating in is ok though. As long as you can...

There is no doubt that the food here is great. It’s fresh, good, hearty food and the people here know what they are doing with their food. Imran is great too. He makes the taam such a good and attractive place. He is a really...

This is an difficult one as I haven't tried the food however how you treat people is 1/2 the experience. On receiving my credit card statement I saw £26:90 debited to Ta'am in Prestwich. This was strange as I have never visited. I rang to...

We ordered a takeaway from Ta’am this evening. On collecting the food, we were assured 3 times the whole order had been packed, however when we returned home, a chicken pitta was missing. My partner called the restaurant and we drove back to collect the...

I came to the restaurant twice. The first time great, when I went the second time they changed the menu. It was a bit weird so I didn’t return. The food downstairs however is always on point. We always order the chicken snitzle.

When I arrived after ordering online 10 mins before she rudely told me it would be a 30min wait. After 35 mins still no food so I asked her again. At this stage she gave my order to the cooks to begin cooking. When I...

Having been a frequent customer of this restaurant (sticking with them through their turbulent times too) we have usually been reasonably satisfied overall, with both the quality of the food, the service, the ambience etc. However, Sunday night was a disaster... firstly, with having to...

We try to visit whenever we are in Manchester and have never had a bad experience. The food is great, the portions generous and the prices are great value for a kosher place. I always want to try different dishes but the shwarma is just...

Love this place. Lots of great grilled food. The beef and chicken kebabs are v good indeed. Then there are the salads which are always fresh and tasty, with great selection. Falafel top notch. And great chips. Highly recommend it for a casual lunch or...

We went specially to eat kosher curry. I had a lamb bityani. It was delicious. Well done to chef Imran. A very authentic flavour. I cannot wait to return!

We've visited numerous times over that last couple of years and have always enjoyed the food. However, on our last visit, we noticed that the prices (for sit down) seemed to have increased quite a lot. Never mind, it's a treat, we thought. When the...

Worst experience ever, below average steak and service was horrible. Restaurant staff had the worse attitude by far, asked for a steak to be done medium and it came fully cooked to second death - they did not even try to apologize or get us...

I went to this restaurant and the level of service for the price was appalling. Cold food. Cold service. If you’re in desperate need of kosher food in Manchester and can’t be bothered to clean up I’d recommend getting a cleaner and going to the...

The restaurant has three distinct menu sections, Middle-Eastern, far eastern and Indian. We ordered from the Indian menu and the food was excellent. The litmus test of this kind of food is the rice, if they can do that properly the rest is usually good....

When I got there they were so friendly the decor was also nice. The service for food is amazing.When I bit into my burger it was like heaven.definitely would go back

Haven't been in for some months so was surprised to find it empty Sunday after 2pm. So, an immediate service instead if the usual crowds and the BEST rice ever in a kosher restaurant spiced gently with cardamom. Large portions n quite expensive but good,...

Had an amazing take away, such yummy food, staff all so friendly and helpful, can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been to this kosher restaurant twice before and given it poor reviews both times. But this time was different. We were downstairs, which means it’s self-service, but we weren’t rushed away before we were ready, we didn’t get any hassle from the staff, and...

It's a casual place and the staff are friendly. We had the burgers and shwarma, all really tasty and the portions were generous.

The omens weren’t good, when our booking for 15 was taken only on condition that we were there at “6.15 sharp”. They couldn’t have made us feel less welcome if they had tried - but I’d heard that their attitude left something to be desired....

This is a place of two halves - upstairs is your formal dining with waiter service. We found the service very attentive - although the male waiter/host spoke over and got in the way of the female waitress who was doing a good job and...

Queues at the door but this just attests to the quality of the the food. People must travel from miles around.

If honest I was a little reserved about joining colleagues for a night out, the pictures and reviews are somewhat off putting. The restaurant is a cosy environment and staff are attentive the big plus was that the food was exceptional indeed and we all...

The most amazing, wonderful food in the history of the world. Dont go for a quick meal. Go for the quality of the food!

Was there yesterday,7 of us. I did not know what to expect, but none of us disappointed. Food was totally fantastic. If 7 Jewish people and not one complaint I would take that as a serious compliment. One down side, place was freezing and we...

Was really craving a falafel on my work trip to manchester, i was really excited to find a real israeli place near to where i was staying. Alas, incompetent service and confused process in store meant i never received my falafel and the store was...

Kosher eatery on the border of 2 main Jewish areas in Manchester, Broughton park and Prestwich. A thriving takeaway and basic sit down downstairs was complimneted by waiter service upstairs. Big disappointment..no disabled access to the upsatirs for table service. My 94and 89 year old...

Visited this restaurant as I keep kosher. Got forgotten about by the waiting staff and made to eat my meal with plastic cutlery in a cafe although requesting proper service when it was evident there were seats available. Curt staff. Mildly redeemed by portion size...

Came here with an old friend who hadn't been before. We both loved the middle Eastern food, we would both highly recommend coming here and we'll be back

The restaurant brought the wrong food multiple times, when the food came it was cold. I came as a group and wouldn't return to this restaurant. They got the bill wrong and also tried to overcharge.

Seven of us sat down for dinner. Unaccommodating, arrogant, rude. That was the waiting on staff. Lady at the till was abusive. Oh! She maybe owners wife so it’s ok???? Most importantly we were not rude, we were not abusive and did not even raise...

Myself and my family booked a table upstairs, we ordered our starters and the waiter told us that what we wanted could not be served to us as requested as it was only available that particular way for people who order downstairs downstairs (take away)....

Couldn't deliver a simple request. My boyfriend ordered falafel in a pitta very politely. Although they serve this in the same building and after offering to pay more to have the dish in the restaurant the waiting staff got rude and refused. The whole ordeal...

Terrible service, didn’t make it past the order. Untrained staff. Dependent on their kosher status as they fall down in every other department. If you want to keep kosher in Manchester stay at home and avoid at all costs!

As the restaurant is up two flights of stairs, I had to eat downstairs which is really more of a takeaway. Not only does one order and pay at the servery, one has to actually collect ones own meal when the dish you ordered is...

Always friendly Always helpful Food is great, steaks, shwarma salads are all delicous Atmosphere brilliant You have to come

The food was delicious, went for a friends party , we went upstairs it was really posh and the staff were very helpful.The concern is though the wait,it took some time to get main course and dessert. But overall very good food would recommend

Very pleasant meal. The food was well cooked and tasty. Service in the restaurant was better than I expected, as previous experience in the takeaway was slow and haphazard. Only real issue was that other customers were very noisy So overall a good experience and...

We love the food at Taam, ok it can get busy sometimes but that is a sign of a good restaurant, every time you go you got to try something different, shawarma, Chicken Tikka, Burger in fact everything is done to perfection & its cooked...

Having made an online reservation three weeks ago and received email confirmation (twice) just had my booking for 11 people cancelled two hours before we were due to eat. No apology. Just a phone call from the restaurant cancelling because they can't fit us in....

Great place. Smart decor. Good service. Clean loos n tables but a "madras" curry though tasty was about as hot as porridge needing spicy anything to rightfully call it Madras. Nevertheless would happily go again as the chilly sauce on the side made up for...

An earlier reviewer described this place as a little bit of Israel. And it's true - great food but rude staff and no idea of customer service. The restaurant is supposed to open at 12.30 - yet we were waiting in the street for 10...

This has got to be one of the best restaurants in Manchester for flavour (as the name "Ta'am" suggests!). Be prepared for a no frills dining experience though. It can get very busy, especially around dinner time. It's an allround authentic Israeli cuisine experience and...

Went as staying nearby and was fascinated as always looked busy. Very casual dining downstairs alongside the takeaway and proper restaurant upstairs. We chose downstairs and were helped through menu choices by a very helpful young man. All went for chicken shaslick which was exceptional....

Wishing to book for 15 people for a family get together, we called the restaurant and the phone was answered by the owner saying book online, when responding the limit for booking online, she responded she was busy and we shouldn't call her mobile (we...

Food absolutely amazing and so was service but had to leave early because of the freezing cold air con directed right on us...don't sit on table 13 unless you wear your winter coat ❄️❄️❄️❄️

The most amazing Lamb Tagine I have ever tasted! Hummus is stunning too and everything I order is always gorgeous.

The food is amazing and delicious Very friendly atmosphere Comfortable for families The steaks are great

Simply Divine, huge portions, fresh and filling with great friendly service. Family Orientated as well for those that don't mind the odd noisy child

I've been meaning to try Ta'am for a while, and my only regret is I didn't try sooner. Restaurant is lovely, but only had a take away today, and by far the best choice in the area. Real quality food, fresh and as for taste,...

A nice, buzzy atmosphere, and a good, varied menu, but I was also left feeling a bit disappointed after this first visit to a kosher Manchester restaurant that gets great reviews. The Thai green chicken curry was good, but not exceptional, and their idea of...

I have been visiting recently Ta'am and love the food here ! Healthy, Massive portions, fresh and tasty food. Not much more I could add.

My wife and I went to Ta'am last week...upstairs Dining Room. Menu extensive and we enjoyed the food. Friendly and attentive service. Two major complaints. Hot food must not be served on ice cold plates and there is nowhere to hang your coat. We would...

With 4 close friends, all of us dining at Ta'am for the first time. Our choices from an interesting menu very different but everything we tasted was delicious! Attentive service, our every wish dealt with quickly, but why oh why does hot food have to...

I have been eating in this takeaway for many years and until today it was my most favourite place to eat, Kosher or otherwise. Ta'am was my go to place for a treat or a quick bite on the go whenever I was passing. Today,...

The food is amazing I think I've probably tried everything on the menu! I go regularly and am never disappointed. It always tastes so fresh and I love the variety. The staff are so friendly towards me and always make me feel welcome. Would definitely...

Loved food, design and it didn't have that noisy rushed restaurant feel that so many places have now. Have always lived coming here and will contunue to for many years. Cannot wait for milky side to open as we are gaurenteed that as the rest...

Enjoyed the mix of fresh grilled food and choose-your-own-salads, food on point, fit for purpose, satisfaction!

I frequent this restaurant regularly. It's my favourite restaurant. The food is set to the highest standard and could definitely be served to a king. I have seen a few comment`s about the reservation system at the beginning which occurred due `to the business being...

I have been here time and time again. Each time I have not been disappointed. I myself am a non meat eater unlike the rest of my family and can therefore struggle with variety when dining out however the options here have been amazing. All...

We paid a visit on a very busy Sunday evening, vibrant atmosphere and very comfortable surroundings. We had starters and mains, due to the size of the portions were unable to choose from the dessert menu, much to my personal regret! Mini kebab starter and...

Super impressed with this new restaurant. We went with 3 adults and 5 young kids. Great kids menu, very accommodating. Great main menu, delicious food, big portions, everyone was very happy. Great friendly service as well - highly recommended!

Authentic food, super tasty and lovely new venue, thoroughly enjoyed taking the family there for my sons birthday, something for everyone and especially loved the tagine

My favourite local establishment. Fabulous food and always a welcome from the loyal staff who somehow remember everyone's favourite dish! Always a great atmosphere and food to match. What's not to love about this place !

We have been going to Taam every week since the restaurant opened and can't get enough of the place. The decor is fantastic !! From the curries to the kebabs the food is truly delicious !! The best burgers and sweet potato fries we have...

My partner and I usually order a take away from Ta'am every Sunday, which completes our weekend. The food always has great flavour, and portions are of a generous size. Sometimes I find this establishment to be quite busy, however it's high quality food makes...

Totally enjoyed my meal at Ta'am. Will definitely be going back again. Great food, large portions and good service.

i have gone to taam a number of times never been disappointed the food is next level :) every time im in london with all there different restaurants i still miss taam there is no place like it and all the staff are so friendly...

Popped into Taam for a quick lunch.. food is great as always service fast as always.. will be returning soon.

Friendly service, excellent food and a relaxed atmosphere. A great menu full of variety. The quality of the food is brilliant too. Love coming here.

The food is well presented and delicious!! Humous mushroom is amazing! Absolutely recommend! The service is great also, very polite and pleasant!

We have been here three times now and every single visit has been a joy. The energy in this place is electric which feels very much like you are instantly welcomed into the fold and also like you have entered another world. This is the...

This is possibly the best kosher restaurant in the UK possibly in the world! Deliciously juicy and tasty burger. Perfect chips and amazing salads. If you've not visited yet, you must do so soon!

We were very pleased to see that there was a relatively new Israeli restaurant in Prestwich, Manchester and I rang to book on a Thursday morning. The restaurant was not yet open but the lady I spoke to told me it was best to book...

I popped into the restaurant to grab some lunch and I ordered the chicken schwarma. It was delicious, I also really liked the salads that you could put with it. I was peeking at other orders and could see that the portion sizes were very...

We ate in the restaurant upstairs. Loved the modern decor. We had perfect hummous and felafel to start (perhaps the felafel were a little small and on the greasy side). For mains I had an absolutely fabulous entrecote steak. I couldn't finish it, but got...

I booked a table online. Ta'am then texted saying they were cancelling the online booking. I asked if the booking was still valid - they said yes. Unfortunately we had to cancel a few days later as our guests were unable to join us. I...

Very disappointed, salt beef lukewarm and tough, chips greasy altogether inedible. Waitress was unhelpful when asked for condiments told us we would have to wait until she had taken another couples order as she had to go downstairs. By that time our already tepid food...
