About Mama's Soul Food Restaurant

On Norton St in Salford, Mama's Soul Food Restaurant serves soul food to walk-in tables a five-minute walk from the train station. The XXL Boil and the Oxtail Soul plate are sized to serve a table of five, and a seafood boil often gets ordered alongside king prawns and lobster tail. Truffle fries round out the sides. Portions run large enough that diners regularly leave with take-away containers for what they cannot finish. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays. It previously ran as a ghost kitchen before moving into this standalone space on Norton St.

Customer Review Summary

The seafood boil draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the king prawns, lobster tail, and oxtail soul plate alongside it, plus truffle fries and creamy sides for larger tables. Portion sizes come up again and again as generous, sometimes too much to finish, and the flavour and seasoning are consistently described as fresh and homemade tasting. Staff are called friendly and attentive throughout, including accommodating one diner's allergies, and the atmosphere and music add to the experience for several visitors. One reviewer notes having to ask multiple times for a jug of water, which took around twenty minutes to arrive, though they said the rest of the visit went well. Several mention the takeaway containers provided for leftovers as a nice touch, and multiple reviewers say they've already returned or plan to come back.

    “Wow! I was really blown away with this place. It was our first time here and did NOT disappoint. From start to finish, no joke everything and everyone was warm, kind and ever so comforting and accommodating. It honestly felt like a home away from home. From friendly smiles, top notch customer service and excellent food. They’ve worked out the holy trinity to make this place work! Y’all keep up the excellent work and i’ll be back!”
  • Ella Keating
    “Wow. I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants and tried plenty of seafood, but this has to be one of if not the best places I’ve been in Manchester for food, atmosphere, and service. The food was fresh, succulent, and full of flavour. I genuinely couldn’t fault a single thing. The service was just as impressive; our server was one of the nicest people I’ve met in hospitality. I didn’t catch his name, but his positive, happy attitude alone would make someone want to come back. A true 10/10. The restaurant itself was spotless, unique, and had great music playing. We left not long ago and have already told half our friends and family about it we can’t stop talking. This place is a must‑try for any occasion. It’s only a five‑minute walk from the train station, and I honestly never usually leave reviews, but I couldn’t not praise how good this place is. 1000/10 — can’t wait to be back.”

    “Got here around 9pm it was quite steady but we managed to get a good table. We went for the XXL Boil and Oxtail Soul plate. For a table of 5 it was perfect for us. The Boil itself was mouthwatering, truffle fries, Oxtail and creamy was also fantastic. Overall it was a great first experience to this cuisine. Although we had to ask multiple times for a jug of water and it took 20 minutes. Everything went well”
