About Kobeda Place

Kobeda Place is an Afghan kebab shop on Wilmslow Rd in Manchester, on the curry mile. The kitchen serves Kabuli Pulao alongside kobeda kebab, with kobeda on naan and chicken faham also on the menu. Naans arrive large and fluffy, soft inside with a crispy outside, and sauces such as daqoos and garlic yoghurt are brought out separately. Orders are walk-in, and staff bring table service, including extra cutlery and plates as needed. The interior is basic but clean. Street parking nearby is limited, with no dedicated lot for customers.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the kobeda kebab as the reason to return, describing the meat as juicy and moist with naan that's soft inside and crispy outside, one calling it the best kobeda they've had after sampling many. Close behind is the Kabuli Pulao (qabili pillow), praised for tender lamb, raisins, and carrots, with several noting portions are generous enough to share or take home, plus sauces and salads served without stinginess. Chicken faham and lamb kebab also draw praise, and multiple reviewers mention friendly, quick staff even when busy. Prices are repeatedly called affordable for the portion size. One reviewer reports finding undercooked chicken in a pilao order and was offered only a replacement rather than a refund, losing their appetite before finishing. Another mentions delivery ran late, though called worth the wait. A few note parking is limited and decor is basic but clean. One longtime customer says they've returned annually for nine years, calling the rice and naans consistently good.

    “I don’t live near, so I come to Kobeda Place about once per year and I have been coming for the last 9 years and it’s always fabulous. Chicken, lamb or fish - all good. Their rice is amazing and they do the best naans. I’m a little in love with this spot.”

    “Such a disgusting experience with my recent visit. I ordered chicken with pilao. After eating most of my chicken meal, I noticed part of the chicken inside appeared raw/undercooked. I informed staff at the time and was only offered a replacement meal, but I had already lost my appetite and still had to pay. I also took photos of the chicken. Hopefully food quality and safety checks improve.”

    “Don’t know where to eat for iftar yesterday so we just went to this restaurant. We thought the menu was not variety so we just ordered the most appalling looking on the menu. When our food came to the table, we were so was shocked because the portion was so generous we ordered only one qabili pillow but it was enough for three of us. They were also generous with their sauces which elevate the rice taste cuz I love my rice with a lot of daqoos and garlic yoghurt sauce. ( some place are so stingy with the sauces) We were so full that we need to take away kobeda kebab that we ordered. We ate kobeda kebab after teraweeh prayer at my house. Eventhough I reheated it, the kobeda kebab was soo sooo delicious. I’ve never tried any kobeda kebab before but I love this one. The meat was big, juicy, flavourful and the bread was crispy on outside soft on inside and already delicious by itself like you cant get enough of it. The service is top tier as well since we get enough cutleries and extra plates to our table in addition that they gave us dates to break our fast with. Idk if I was super hungry but the dates were delicious as well hahaha. Overall, I think this restaurant deserves praises. I was so satisfied with my experience here. Definitely will try it again and recommend to my friends. I hope the portion and price stays as it is hehehe.”

    “The food delivery was quite late, annoying late actually. However, if there was ever a time where it was worth the wait, then this was it. The chicken tikka was slightly dry but I have to say the Kobeda was the best I have had, the portion sizes were very good, the naans were massive, they gave all the sauces and salads separate which was perfect.”

Highlights
