Quick info
About BBQ VILLAGE
On Union Terrace in Salford, BBQ Village is a restaurant serving grilled meats and kebabs alongside a chicken, rice, and salad plate that turns up often on tables. The salad is fresh, and the room is small with tight seating. Once a table is free, food arrives shortly after ordering. It gets busy, and a wait is common at peak times. Walk-ins are taken, and the option to eat in or take out suits either a quick visit or food to go.

Customer Review Summary
Grilled kebabs draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the meats fresh, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. Close behind, the chicken, rice, and salad combination gets singled out as a favourite, alongside generous portions and homemade-tasting food that several describe as authentic Persian and Iranian cooking. The space itself is small and gets busy, with multiple reviewers noting a wait of around fifteen minutes for a table and a cramped, tight feel inside, though most say the food makes up for it. One reviewer, however, describes a visit where rushed service led to a burnt, smoked first dish and an undercooked replacement, alongside a waiter whose attitude they called insulting, a sharp departure from their usual experience there. Staff are otherwise repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is noted as offering both eat-in and takeout at what several call good value for money.

“Absolutely phenomenal Iranian restaurant! The kebabs were unbelievably delicious and juicy, even better than the ones I’ve had in Iran over the years!!”

“If you’re looking to experience the atmosphere and flavours of a traditional Iranian market, BBQ Village is definitely worth a visit. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavour, especially the grilled meats. The portions are generous, and everything tasted homemade. The staff were warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.”

“We have been eating at Barbecue Village for over a year, and every single visit has been excellent. The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistently high quality. Our favourite dish is the chicken, rice, and salad – it's absolutely amazing every time! The flavours are fantastic, and the portions are always generous. The team deserves to be congratulated for maintaining such a high standard of food and service. We highly recommend Barbecue Village and will definitely keep coming back!”

“Awesome place. We go a lot as food is amazing. Awesome Iranian food. Salad is always so fresh. It’s a small place and gets busy but they create so much great food out of it. Staff and owners are always really friendly. Wish they had a bigger restaurant we would go even more.”
