Quick info
About Chandni Restaurants
Chandni Restaurants is a Pakistani restaurant at 4 Kingsway in Manchester, where biryani and evening dishes come out in traditional clay pots known as matka. That covers a matka mutton biryani and the Matka Lamb Chops. Mornings follow the desi breakfast format, with platters that pair paratha with tawa keema and karak chai. The kitchen cooks karahi fresh to order and sells it by the kilo, which suits a table sharing one pot. The menu runs to 137 dishes, and naan arrives hot and fresh alongside the curries. The dining room is set up for families, and a counter sits at the front.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the karahi and the biryani, with the matka biryani arriving piping hot in a traditional clay pot. Close behind are the nihari, lamb chops, masala fish and achari chicken, with the lamb chops called tender and juicy. The desi breakfast also gets praise, especially a platter of plain paratha, tawa keema and karak chai described as generous enough for two. Diners describe the food as authentic and like home cooking, and several mention a kadak chai or desi tea to finish. Reviewers also call the staff friendly and welcoming, the portions generous, and the prices reasonable. One reviewer enjoyed the grilled food, calling it nicely seasoned. The one negative describes a waiter refusing a request to move to a larger table because of a reservation in 40 minutes, with the table still empty after the party left, and that reviewer also found the food average. Several praise the family dinner setting, and one says the evening dishes cooked in a clay pot are the reason to return.

“Really enjoyed the grilled food here. Everything tasted nicely seasoned and freshly prepared. The presentation was also good and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was lively without being uncomfortable. Definitely a good choice if you're looking for BBQ Manchester.”

“Chandni Restaurant in Manchester is an absolute gem! The food was exceptional from start to finish. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. The fresh karahi by the kilo was outstanding, cooked to order with authentic spices and tasted just like homemade food. The matki biryani was fragrant, full of flavour, and served piping hot in a traditional clay pot, making it even more special. To finish, we had a cup of their desi tea, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service throughout. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere, and you can really tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Pakistani cuisine in Manchester. We'll definitely be back!”

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Chandni! We started with the Masala Fish, which was delicious, but the Achari Chicken was definitely my favourite. For mains, the Nihari was an easy 11/10—rich, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. The Matka Mutton Biryani was equally impressive and full of authentic flavours. We ended our meal with a cup of kadak chai, which was the perfect finish. The hospitality was warm, the ambience was welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout. Looking forward to visiting again and trying more dishes!”

The spices were perfectly balanced, and every dish was full of rich, traditional flavour—just the way Pakistani food should be. It's not easy to find such genuine desi food, but Chandni definitely delivered. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Pakistani food. Give it a try—you'll love it!”
