About Manchester Shawarma
Manchester Shawarma is a Middle Eastern restaurant at 112 Wilmslow Rd on the Curry Mile in Manchester, serving Kurdish-style chicken shawarma in freshly baked samun bread. The chicken samun is the shawarma wrapped in that bread, and it comes with salads and dips on the side. Fatayar, a baked pastry, sits on the menu alongside the shawarma for anyone wanting something besides the wraps. The space is small with limited seating. Payment is taken by card or cash.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the chicken shawarma, and the chicken samun with salads and dips is named as a regular order. Diners describe the meat as juicy and well seasoned, wrapped in freshly baked bread, with fresh salads alongside. One reviewer singles out the Kurdish shawarma as perfectly spiced, and another praises the fatayar as freshly baked with flavorful fillings. Close behind is the staff, repeatedly called friendly, with service described as quick and takeaway as fast. Several say the prices are reasonable and the portions generous, and some who travel in from Leeds or visit Manchester twice a year make a point of returning. The one recurring limit is space, as reviewers note there is not a huge seating area. A single detailed complaint comes from a regular who says a reheated samun was hard and poor quality, that staff were rude when they went back for a replacement, and that fresh samun was handed free to the staff's friends while they were teased about it.
