Visited yesterday, the chapli kebabs are amazing, they were so tasty and they are the best I’ve ever come across. I recommend everyone to come here!! The place looks amazing & the service was unreal! I cannot wait to come back! Definitely my new favourite place to eat from!!

The decor and atmosphere are nice, with shades of green. We ordered the Chapli kebab, naan, and Qabili Pilau. The Chapli kebab was decent, and we enjoyed it with the naan and sauces. We chose the egg option, but I expected the egg to be mixed into the kebab. Instead, it came as a fried egg on top, which I found a bit strange, it would’ve been much nicer cooked into the kebab, as some places do. Either way, it was good. The Qabili Pilau, however, was disappointing. It just tasted like regular desi pilau and lacked flavor. I wouldn’t order it again. The service wasn’t great either—I had to ask for my drinks three or four times from different waiters before finally getting them, and that was after we had already finished half our food. Nevertheless, I wish this business the best. I’d still recommend it as a nice place to sit and eat, especially on Wilmslow Road. Thank you.

Happened to come across this place via social media and thought I would give it a go and did not disappoint at all! The lamb karahi was a massive highlight for me, best I've had 10/10 - thank you chef rashad!

Amazing San Sebastian cakes especially bearing in the price. Well priced sliced. Comes with Pistachio sauce in a tub that you can warm at home and pour over. Or you can eat in. Could do with a menu or pricing. Have a variety of milk cakes, cakes and other baked items. Def try it again.

A fantastic place for your cake and pastries craving. Yesterday we bought a Chocolate cake for a small celebration and it's really good. And the staff here is really so warm and welcoming.

I recently ordered a chocolate cake from SY Cake for my friend’s birthday celebration, and it was an absolute hit! Not only was the cake incredibly delicious, with rich chocolate layers that melted in our mouths, but it was also beautifully decorated – truly one of the cutest and most elegant cakes we’ve had. The owner was exceptionally friendly and attentive to all our requests, ensuring the cake was exactly what we wished for. She kept her word on every detail, from flavour to design, and delivered on time. Ideally you will have to order at-least 1-2 prior if you want customised cake but on request she made it in one day! Totally worth it. Everyone at the party loved it! Highly recommend SY Cake for any special occasion!

I ordered a falafel wrap and Barr Cola. The falafel has pickles, which I was asked about while it was being made. However this made it quite sour for my taste buds. I really appreciated the politeness of the propreitor. It was quite excellent in that manner. The atmosphere is quite alright. It has tables and seats. Nothing luxurious but it is quite befitting of a "hidden gem."

I had a wonderful experience at Al Shamyat restaurant! The service was excellent, and the food quality truly represented authentic Syrian cuisine the pictures speak for themselves. They also make their own bread freshly. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout my visit especially Ahmad. What I appreciated most was that the menu offered reasonably priced items, making it a great option for you if you wanna enjoy quality brunch and not spend a fortune. It's not too expensive, and the value you get for your money is outstanding. I'll definitely be returning for more delicious Syrian dishes. Highly recommended!

Yesterday, I tried Shamiyat Bakery for the first time. When I came to the shop, the staff was very friendly, welcoming, and patient. The employee asked me what I wanted to order, and I was unsure because there were so many options on the menu. I chose a few types of pastries and asked for them to be made without cheese because we have a cheese allergy. I took the Fatayers home and had them for breakfast. They were delicious, especially the meat Fatayer, which were amazing, and the spinach Fatayer, which was very tasty. This was my first visit, but it won’t be my last. I will visit again and buy from them whenever I get the chance.

I went to this restaurant with a friend to eat Middle Eastern food. The food and the staff were amazing. We sat there for three hours without being asked to leave. After we finished our meal, they brought us tea with baklava, which showed their hospitality; we did not order it, and they were really nice. The variety, quality, and quantity of the food are superb. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Service here is very friendly. My gang and I loved this place. The lamb shank is really tender and falls apart when you bite into it. The rice is like textbook rice innit. Even my boss said it was to his high standard and he loves his lamb very much. Friend enjoyed her chicken. It was nicely spiced. The lamb chops were great too said the blue shirt guy.

First timers here! And what a wholesome experience. Family friendly friendly and the vibes just felt like home. Attentive and friendly staff who were happy to answer our questions. Food was very delicious and huge portions! Ordered tea for 1 one person to finish off the meal but instead was welcomed with a complimentary pot of tea and complimentary Babousa which was equally as delicious and very generous. Thank you

Excellent food. I actually ordered more than I could manage as I had not eat all day. The lamb Agdah dish with rice was very filling and wholesome. The meat was exceptionally tender and succulent and just melted in your mouth. The vegetables and gravy was tasty and aromatic. The kofta kebabs were THE BEST I have ever eaten from all Mediterranean and North African eateries I have ever been to. Unfortunately my eyes were bigger than my belly and I was unable to finish the entire dishes. I will most definitely be returning 👌👌👌

The atmosphere here is amazing. Every single staff member, from the managers to the servers, was so friendly and welcoming. You can tell they really care about the customers. The food was great, but honestly, it was the staff that made the experience. Even though it was really late at night, everyone was upbeat and looked happy to be there. I felt so comfortable, like I was among friends. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Visited the place a few days ago to enjoy their 50% off food offer. The food quality was good and the service provided was commendable. However, it's worth noting that the discount applied only to main dishes; side dishes and starters remained at full price, which felt a bit misleading. Despite this, I would consider returning for the overall experience.

Had the chance to meet the owner last night and boy oh boy, he's an absolute legend. Self made and determined. He has other businesses aswell . Very kind and helful. The place is for thoes who want to have a good time meeting friends and celebrating life . Hookah/shisha is the best in town . Hopefully we'll have the chance to come here again soon enough ....

This place does get busy but very cosy. They dont have much food (menu just exists). The soft drinks and mocktails are your standard but are served nice and cold. Hot chocolate was nice and desi tea (little too milky for my liking). They allow you to bring food from out to dine in.

Visited this place cause it was the only restaurant in Curry Mile having 10k+ ratings. We had the mutton curry with naan which was good and worth the price. But the Malai Chicken Tikka was not at all worth the price. It was a scam. The number of pieces they gave for the price was too less. Nevertheless, the overall experience was nice and the waiters were helpful. Would recommend it.
