Quick info
About Jaffa Restaurant
On Wilmslow Rd in Manchester, Jaffa Restaurant serves Mediterranean food across a 20-dish menu with no reservations, on a walk-in basis. The shawarma is served deconstructed, with the bread and meat kept separate. Mix Grill and Mezze, the Mixed Grill Platter and Chicken Fatayer round out the range. Food is prepared fresh on the premises and replenished through service. The restaurant opens daily, and the room gets busy and loud, with a queue forming at times. A family dining area sits upstairs alongside the toilets, and prayer facilities are available on site.

“Visited Jaffa in Rusholme during a heatwave, and the working air conditioning was an absolute lifesaver! The venue itself is nice, clean, tidy, and clearly very popular, the place was packed and the kitchen staff looked incredibly busy. Despite how busy they were, I was shocked by how fast the food came out. We were served within 15 minutes of ordering. I got the mixed grill with bread and a drink. The meat was fresh, perfectly cooked, and really tasty. I did have to flag down a waiter to ask for extra sauces, but they brought them over quickly and were very helpful. My only minor critique is that I would have preferred a fresh naan, as the bread/wrap they served was just okay and cold. Also, keep in mind that the toilets are located on the top floor, which is a bit of a trek if you're seated on the ground floor, like us. Overall, it's easy to see why this place is so popular. Great food and impressive service even during a rush!”

“Visited today for the first time and loved it. I ordered one of their pizzas and it was delicious. They also do shawarmas but bear in mind they're deconstructed so you'll get ur bread and meat separate. The food was out quick and the service provided was good too. Will visit again.”
