Walnut Persian Restaurant in Manchester

Food and service on point! I’ll be back

Low quality rice disappointing. TBH No worth the price.

This was our second visit within 6 months. Really tasty and authentic style food. The staff were very helpful. It was really busy, as always but we managed to get what we needed. Highly recommend this little hidden pearl on the edge of the curry mile. It is price wise a bit on the high end as compared to other regular Kobeda places, but then it has more of a restaurant type feel as opposed to a quick takeaway. The mint tea was very tasty, a nice top off to our meal. The complimentary dessert was not everyone's cup of tea. I found it ok. It was like a semolina pudding but made in water not milk, sprinkled with rose petals and cinnamon. A bit different and as one of my friends suggested a nice palette cleanser.

Can’t recommend this restaurant enough! The food is absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked & so full of flavour. Portion sizes are so good for such reasonable prices. It’s amazing value for the quality you get! The service is top tier too! The Afghan waiter was incredibly sweet & friendly, & the owner was so welcoming & made us feel right at home🤍 Everything about this place is perfect, from the food to the atmosphere. Definitely a must visit!

Genuinely the most delicious food in the whole UK by far

The food and Service was amazing!

I had an amazing experience at Walnut Persian Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, making it the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal. The staff were absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. A special shout-out to Mandana, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her kindness and professionalism truly made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was nothing short of exceptional! Every dish was packed with authentic Persian flavors, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. From the juicy kebabs to the fragrant saffron rice, everything was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Cleanliness is clearly a priority here, as the entire restaurant was spotless, including the dining area and restrooms. It’s always a great sign when a restaurant maintains such high standards of hygiene. As for the pricing, it’s very reasonable considering the quality of food and service you receive. Great value for money, and I’d happily pay for this experience again! Overall, I left Walnut Persian Restaurant extremely satisfied. It’s a true gem in Manchester, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommended

First time visiting and definitely won’t be my last. The food and service were both unreal. The staff were super friendly and were lovely and chatty making you feel super welcome. Definitely recommend trying here for yummy, authentic Persian food. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Delicious Food & Excellent Service! We had dinner at Walnut Restaurant in Manchester for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience! They’re open until 11 PM on weekdays, which is great for a late-night meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome right away. Our order arrived in less than 10 minutes—super fast service! I had the Joojeh Torsh for my main course, and it was absolutely delicious. I expected a smaller portion, but they were very generous, which was a pleasant surprise. After dinner, we enjoyed Persian sweets and saffron tea—an absolute must when dining here! The flavors were rich and authentic, the perfect way to end our meal. Overall, the food and service were excellent. I’ll definitely be returning on my next visit! Highly recommend!

The best persian restaurant including best food ever with lovely staffs especially Mandana jon.

I have been going to walnut for years. Since the change of location the food has somehow got even better! Even when the restaurant is busy- which it always is on weekends, the service is great and the staff are so friendly. Persian food is the best (well I am biased) so if you are going to eat it anywhere please please go to walnut!

Very delicious food ,all food fresh

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere and welcoming staff.

Absolutely amazing food and even better atmosphere!

Very good service and very very delicious persian food. Highly recommended 👍

Thank you so much for your good service.

Good food but comes with price. Too busy and expensive. Brought spicy chicken for my child and and when I asked to change it they charged me twice.

Everything was amazing. They were so friendly and welcoming and the food tasted amazing. Highly recommended 👍

Professional respectful staff, warm family environment a mastering the art of cooking kebabs, chicken fillets and rice creates a perfect experience in Walnut restaurant. If you want a delicious well prepared meal and feel at home do have a meal there.

This decent restaurant serves up delicious Persian dishes and grill options. The food is top-notch, and the service is excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Manchester!

It didn’t quite live up to expectations.

First time eating here and it was really good, food was amazing and our waiter Masoud was very nice - i will 100% return.

Food was so lovely and we got the saffron ice cream for desert which was amazing, Masoud our waiter was amazing too! Will definitely be coming back, Thank you!

Amazing restaurant - excellent service, extremely friendly and the food is delicious. Vegetarians very well catered for!

best persian food in manchester can’t recommend enough, staff are always lovely and friendly, food is always of immaculate quality

Kebab Torsh (Sour Kebab) which is originally of the north of Iran, was splendid and very close in taste to the original version. Kebab barg was tender and lovely. Koubideh had a very pleasant taste The side of marinated olives (Zeytoon parvardeh) was a great match alongside. The traditional yogurt drink flavored with a variety of dried herbs and sumac could take you to Iran in its real sense. Overall, the complete score of 10/10 is a must to be given to Walnut Persian Restaurant. Thanks for their nice food and warm hospitality.

We’re regulars here and always enjoy the food. The dishes are consistently perfect, but what truly keeps us coming back is the incredible staff especially Mandana-she's a star! They are the friendliest team, always welcoming and never without a smile—even when they're busy or it's late.

Hello, great food, fresh food, delicious as always, great service, everything is great, everything is great

Shout out to Masoud & Forough, outstanding service, and delicious food 💯 will be back again

First time trying 🇮🇷 food, absolutely delicious! Beautiful services by Masoud and Forogh.

Food was brilliant and our waiter Masoud was great! Fab service

Super food; amazing quality, fresh products and cooked to authentic recipes. The personnel are very attentive and service was second to none; unpretentious and warm. Despite having lots of customers, they were kind enough to host us well after we had finished our dinner and dessert. I thoroughly recommend the place. It’s worth visiting Manchester to come and dine in this little gem of restaurant.

Fantastic food with large portions!

Great service from mandana, and great food!

Delicious halal Iranian restaurant and the staff are friendly

I came here with my friends on Thursday evening, from entering the atmosphere was lovely, there were heart shaped balloons on all the tables which was a nice touch, we shared a few starters, the kashk-e-badenjan was DIVINE!! So was the oloviyeh and those chicken wings were out of this world!! We had mixed kebabs for mains with rice, I recommend you order both the yogurts to enjoy with the rice and meat. I will absolutely be back and very soon!

Delicious food, beautiful people, always fun to be here

Thank you you all the wonderful staff! Delicious food and excellent service!

Very good food! Good ambiance too

Very good food authentic persian

Hicimos una reserva, estaba muy ocupado cuando llegamos. Este lugar nos fue recomendado. . Pedimos sus famosos aperitivos, seguido de carne a la parrilla y algunas bebidas de yogur. La porción es bastante grande, entonces pedimos sus postres .. la comida era excelente, las señoras que nos cuidaron son increíbles .. excelente servicio, no estoy seguro de si vamos a volver porque el aparcamiento es inexistente .. cuando volvemos a nuestro coche nos multaron por los buitres de Manchester a pesar de que es muy tarde en la noche y nos estacionamos en los callejones traseros de miedo de Rushholme, Manchester ..

Some of the best Persian food we've had with an incredibly nice staff!

The food was OK. The icecream was delicious.

Nice atmosphere, calm relaxed vibe. Good authentic Persian food. Good portion sizes. The drinks are presented beautifully and the doogh is delicious.
