  “Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Having missed last orders at one of our favourite restaurants, we spotted the Shookah Lounge as we drove through Chorlton and checked the reviews. Many, many great reviews so we thought we would try it out. We were not disappointed. Service was fantastic and the food was sensational. We had the Seabass as our main course having eaten starters of hummus and mirza ghasemi. The mirza ghasemi was simply delicious, an absolute MUST have. Jay the owner was genuinely interested in our feedback and the only regret that I have is that I didn't take a picture of the seabass to share as part of this review. The presentation of the seabass was simply fabulous and plenty for two people. In fact at £20, considering a few days later at Starbucks, I paid nearly as much for two lattes and two croissants, it was a bargain. Cooked to perfection, I would highly recommend it. Wishing you every success with your new venture Jay.”

  “Amazing authentic Persian food. Really tasty dish. Sharing platter for 2, with a couple of sides, more than enough for 3 people. Friendly and attentive staff. Service was quick too! Definitely need to come back to try more dishes!”

  “If you're in the market for a big delicious lunch in Chorlton, I can recommend Shookah- coming in from 5°c weather to a warm welcome (service & temperature) was lovely. The hookah seating is at the front with restaurant seating separate at the back. There was 5 of us for drinks, starters & mains all very flavourful and good portion size, it's not licensed but you can BYOB for a corkage fee or there's plenty of soft drinks available (Carringtons is next door)”

  “Honestly, that was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Manchester. I tried their polo mahicheh and it was amazing — the meat was really soft and perfectly cooked. Definitely try their homemade cakes with tea, they were so good!”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I visited this restaurant with my friend and we had such a lovely experience. The kebabs were absolutely delicious — fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was great and the shisha was really smooth and enjoyable. What stood out the most was the customer service. The staff genuinely looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed. They were warm, welcoming, and very attentive. Overall, a very nice place to relax, eat, and enjoy shisha. Highly recommend! 🌟”

  “This was my first time visiting and my first time trying Persian food and neither disappointed. We were advised different dishes to try & went with the recommendations. The staff explained the dishes and the flavors of origin to us at the table, as well as sauces and spices to add. We had a pot of tea that came with a range of different extras for flavour which was so exciting and again explained by the team. They seemed to love the food they were serving & it really shown in the way they spoke about the flavors and watched as we tried these for the first time. We were also gifted complimentary cake to try which at first we declined because we were full, but thankfully we said yes - it was absolutely delicious. The whole evening was so so lovely. The food, atmosphere and team made it a great evening and I’ll certainly be recommending to others and coming back! Thank you for a lovely experience.”
