“ Top notch food and service. Nothing to complain about here, the food exceeded my expectations! Had the mixed grill platter and throughly enjoyed it The lentil sauce accompanying the platter is delicious, just works with the kebabs. The meat is obviously of good quality ”
“ This place is amazing! My go to spot, can’t go wrong with anything from the menu but my personal favourites are the chicken wing starters and the mixed grill platter. Everything is grilled to perfection and is so flavourful. Customer service is top notch and has been every time I have been. In particular the waitress Mandana, every time I come in she is friendly and helpful. I always finish off with a Persian tea pot and homemade saffron ice cream and I have to say, I’ve still yet to have anything that compares. 10/10 restaurant, I won’t stop talking about this place! ”
“ Delicious authentic food, generous portions and comfortable seating. Only issue would be that they are very busy and popular we had to wait almost an hour for a table but the food was worth it. ”
“ Wow what an experience! The food was incredible, the atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were extremely attentive and very efficient always offering a smile. Came with my whole family and every single one of them said it was amazing. For some this was their first experience of Persian food and now they’re addicted. You guys deserve way more recognition, cannot fault a single thing. ”
“ The food is 10/10 - Had the lamp heart and liver as starter and the main was the Fesenjoon which was absolutely exquisite and the absolute cherry on top is the Saforran ice cream. Best Persian restaurant in Manchester if not the whole northwest. Mondana, the hostes was so attending and gracious as an extent hostess can be.. I'll be back next time I'm in Manchester. ”
“ This was our second visit within 6 months. Really tasty and authentic style food. The staff were very helpful. It was really busy, as always but we managed to get what we needed. Highly recommend this little hidden pearl on the edge of the curry mile. It is price wise a bit on the high end as compared to other regular Kobeda places, but then it has more of a restaurant type feel as opposed to a quick takeaway. The mint tea was very tasty, a nice top off to our meal. The complimentary dessert was not everyone's cup of tea. I found it ok. It was like a semolina pudding but made in water not milk, sprinkled with rose petals and cinnamon. A bit different and as one of my friends suggested a nice palette cleanser. ”
