Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the steaks. One calls the medium-rare ribeye tender and juicy and the most perfect steak they have eaten, and another says the steaks were cooked to perfection. Friendly, attentive staff come close behind, with servers and the person at the door praised for guiding orders and looking after tables. Belly dancers, smoke displays, live performances and music add to the occasion. Drinks also draw praise, including the Habibi Martini, the lychee mocktail and a tequila shot service. Reviewers like the shisha too, and one recommends the grape and orange flavour. The passionfruit dessert and Dubai chocolate cake are called lovely and exquisite. The main complaints are pacing and portions. One reviewer says the food took a while to arrive, another found the portions small, and one thought the food was only not bad. One reviewer suggests booking a space because it fills up quickly. Several birthday parties ended with a complimentary dessert for the guest of honour.

“It was my first time visiting this place, and I came specifically to try their highly praised steaks and cocktails. I ordered the ribeye medium-rare, and honestly, it was the most perfect steak I’ve ever had. I can’t even put into words how tender, juicy, and beautifully cooked the meat was — I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. The cocktails were absolutely fantastic as well, with a great selection of drinks to choose from. But what really made the experience special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive — genuinely some of the best service I’ve experienced. Overall, this restaurant left me with the most wonderful impression. Everything, from the food and drinks to the atmosphere and service, was exceptional. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“We had a great time! The food was not bad, but the staff were all friendly and attentive. A special thanks to Mr. Arsalan, who served our table with excellent service and a warm attitude. The hookah was also really good—smooth and easy on the throat. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this place.”

“One of the best shisha places in Manchester! The staff are incredibly friendly and the service is outstanding. The girl at the door is especially kind, welcoming and very professional. The person who prepared our shisha did an amazing job and recommended the grape and orange flavour.. it was perfect, you definitely have to try it! The Habibi Martini is absolutely amazing as well. Highly recommended! Our best spot in Manchester!”

“I think this is one of the restaurants I’ve always wanted to go and trust me it did not disappoint in any way. I went there for a friend’s birthday and we had a reservation. The staffs were nice and friendly and took our orders quickly. Although, it took a bit of time for our food to get to us but it did and the drinks were amazing. The entertainment it’s self from the belly dancers was superb but I thought that there was going to be a handkerchief party but there wasn’t. I loved the food although the portions were small. Make sure to book a space cause it gets filled up quickly. They even gave my friend complimentary dessert for her birthday. I recommend this place to anyone that would love to go.”
