The best restaurants serving Greek food in Rusholme Manchester North West

Amazing costumer service, very friendly and attentive. The drinks and pastries were excellent. Will definitely be coming back!

It must be getting on for twenty years since I first came to Jaffa for lunch. Then it was quite a rarity – somewhere on the “curry mile” that wasn’t a curry place. Now, those South Asian places are the rarity with only a handful remaining, their premises taken over by more recently arrived immigrant cuisines – Middle Eastern, Afghan, Turkish, etc. Along with a profusion of shisha bars. It’s still a vibrant strip of Wilmslow Road but more “kebab kilometre” than curry mile. Good shawarma and mixed mezzes are the key to Jaffa’s continued success and it seemed as popular as ever this lunchtime. We visit a couple or so times a year, combining lunch with a shopping trip to one of the large Asian supermarkets along the strip. Our order is constant. Lamb shawarma – a generous portion of tasty meat, a handful of shredded salad, a dab of very pokey chill sauce and a flatbread. And the mixed mezze – houmous, chickpeas in yoghurt, tabbouleh, chopped salad, chilli peppers, potatoes in spicy tomato sauce and a spiced yoghurt dip. We ordered another flatbread to help that along. Bargain lunch – the food, plus a couple of canned drinks came to thirteen quid.
