Had to try this after a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. The lad on the front was cheerful and made me feel welcome. so I chose the mix of chicken and lamb shawarma in a fresh fluffy tasty samoon bread with salad and it was perfect. And only a fiver as well Then chose the halloumi tray with chips and salad including hummus, pickled cabbage and other healthy fresh veg tables . The halloumi is the best I have ever had no joke. Absolutely fabulous food and great value would highly recommend and will be back.

Accidentally found this place and loved it!!! Disappointed with a different shop next door, I came here after seeing crowds outside and I realised why it’s so popular after getting a couple of their mixed meat shawarma’s in their freshly baked bread. Meats were cooked perfectly, tasted lovely and their fresh salad with house sauces are nice, all in an amazing warm fresh baked bread. Best shawarma I’ve had anywhere. The bread is the game changer better than anywhere else. The service is really fast and good too, with all the guys serving with a smile and willing to help with your order. I was in and out within a few minutes and the shawarma was eaten even quicker!! 🤣

A gem.... honestly......a gem! It's inexpensive and really very good. The bread is fresh and hot, the meats and cheeses are tasty and well cooked. Seriously, if you're passing by pop in and get lunch, you'll regret it if you don't. Superb.

Food was amazing. Service staff was great. We were seated out in the arcade area which was quite cold and the food got cold quickly as we were eating. If you’re planning a trip, get a reservation inside or go when it’s warm. Otherwise, highly recommend.

Lovely little spot for brunch. We were sat outside but had the heater just above us so was warm and cosy. Blankets were also provided if you didn’t have a heater above you. Food was great and we indulged in a hangover cure by way of a Bloody Maria (highly recommend)

Little bit annoying that we had to queue behind (several) people that were trying to walk-in, despite us having a booking. However, once we were sat down all was very much well. The coffee is incredible (in a 'okay, THIS is coffee' sort of way), the seasonal Danish pastry (mince pie this time) was really good and the Turkish eggs and huevos rancheros were great. Prices are very fair for the quality and the service great once seated.

So many cafes to choose from but so glad we chose this one! Vibes are great, nice music, cool aesthetic. Waiter was lovely and attentive. Coffee was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while (I drink a lot of coffee) and food was immaculate. Will be coming back next time I’m in Manchester!

Went in for breakfast. It's a small place with only a few tables but looked clean and decent place to sit in. We only tried a limited number of items: Aaloo Paratha, Mooli Paratha and Masala Chai but they were really good! One of the better places in Manchester to get authentic parathas without the overtly thick and chewy dough that you get in so many places. Also, the parathas were massive: probably equivalent to 2 regular parathas. They came with a nice yoghurt dip and (asian) mixed pickle. Will try some other parathas next time. Certainly worth a visit. Note: Service is slightly slower than expected but I believe that is due to the time taken to prepare the parathas which is a worthwhile trade-off!

It was our first time here and food was amazing. We opted for halwa puri, chany and Aloo partha combo. Puri , channy and paratha sizes were generous and quite filling. However, they served mere two spoons of halwa which was not enough at all. Environment inside the place was quite hectic and management needs to sort out people waiting for their food or to be seated in. People were literally standing right next to our table which was quite annoying. It felt like they were standing right over your food and watching you eat your food.

Nafees Sweet Centre is a must-visit spot for anyone craving an authentic Pakistani breakfast in Manchester. Situated on Stockport Road, this humble establishment is well-known for its delicious halwa puri, flavorful chanay, and perfectly spiced nihari. The parathas are flaky and golden, just the way they should be, and the accompanying lassi is rich and refreshing—although I wouldn’t mind a bit more chill with some added ice. The atmosphere is simple and reminiscent of local eateries in Pakistan, which adds to the charm. Seating is limited, as the place primarily operates as a takeaway, but the authenticity of the food more than makes up for it. There’s something nostalgic about waiting amidst the buzz of other customers anticipating their meals. The staff are warm and welcoming, always eager to ensure you’re satisfied with your order. Beyond breakfast, their range of sweets and savory snacks like kebabs and samosas is equally impressive, showcasing a dedication to quality across their entire menu. While it’s not a place for leisurely dining due to the limited seating, Nafees Sweet Centre delivers on taste and authenticity. If you’re in the mood for a hearty, traditional desi brunch, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! Aamir Bhai look after us . He is the ⭐

A paradise of desi food for all foodies. They serve a lot of variety of food from different types of parathas, nihari/paya, kulcha chana, veg and non veg samosa, sweets, dahi bada, and manh more. Must try is their lassi in big steel glass which is of my favourite. I have been here more than 8 times in last couple of years and have never been dissapointed.

Top artisan coffee. Top customer service. Top quality food. If there was a cafe tree, Fig + Sparrow would be sat perched on a branch at the very top.

I visited Fig + Sparrow based on the numerous 5* reviews on Google. I came on a Friday at 1pm, and it wasn’t too busy. Perhaps 50% of the place was full. There is a good amount of seating available, and when I arrived, there was a small but delicious-looking selection of pastries and bakes on the counter. There is always a wide variety of drinks available on the menu, and a bar at the back which serves savoury food. I asked the lady if the counter items were baked fresh and if they were vegetarian (halal in my case), and she said they were baked fresh, and suitable for vegetarians and halal foodies! The staff were very inviting. The lady explained what each item was, and she even gave me her personal recommendation. 10/10 for such caring staff :) I ordered a Cinnamon Bun and Latte to eat in. Those buns looked too good to overlook. Also, exceptional presentation of all the bakery items. The Cinnamon Bun was delicious! It was sticky, not too sweet, and full of cinnamon and brown sugar flavour. The Latte was also yummy, and had a lovely pattern on top. Overall, I am very happy I visited Fig + Sparrow, and I will definitely bring my friends next time. This place is too good not to share with others! I would highly recommended this place to those who like coffee shops, and just want to sit and chill :D

I've been to this place a few times now. Their Karak Chai is lovely. I love that they do a sugar free one which is also yummy. I tried their aloo parathyroid and it was gorgeous. Just like an authentic home cooked one. Will definitely be coming again and it might become my go to place when I'm visiting Longsight. The customer service was also great. Thank you 😊

I just came here for a quick tea. - It tasted good. - Good Bollywood music. - Good ambiance. I found it on a bit of a pricey end. 2.8£ for regular and 3£ for large tea. I think it's a bit steep. Otherwise definitely a must visit place!! Highly recommended!!

I recently visited Chaiiwala, and I must say, the experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for a relaxing tea break. The aroma of freshly brewed chai and the sight of delicious treats instantly made me feel at home. A special shoutout to Anam, who provided outstanding service! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to recommend the perfect chai for my taste and ensured everything was just right. Her professionalism and warm smile truly enhanced the experience. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious—the karak chai was rich and flavorful, and the desi-style snacks were a perfect complement. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was impressive. Overall, my visit to Chaiiwala was fantastic, and I will definitely be returning. If you’re looking for a place with great food, amazing chai, and top-notch customer service, this is the spot! Anam’s excellent hospitality made it even more special. Highly recommend!
