“ Walked out of a restaurant in the same area and got told this place had good food by a bystander. Great food at great prices- my favourite was the biryani!! 100% will be coming back again. ”
“ The food was very fresh especially the desi roast chicken it was juicy and very well seasoned alongside with it the customer service was excellent we had no overall issues ”
“ Food was delicious. We ordered Tawa (portion for 2) which is easily good for 3 people. Also got nihari, spices were on point. Place was packed - people were going in and out and a couple of them were waiting for seats to become available! This is how you know the food is excellent! We had to wait approx. 25 mins for our order as it was being freshly prepared. Customer service was decent as well. ”
“ Great food as always. I've been coming here over the years and always enjoyed it. This visit we had kebabs and chops for starters and both chicken and lamb karahi with fresh tandoori naan. Kebabs were lovely succulent and tasty, chops were a bit over cooked for my taste. Still plenty tasty however. On to the star of the show.. very succulent meat, both chicken and lamb, the meat comes out on the karahi and they put that down on your table. It adds a nice little bit of theatre. The food usually has an array of spices and really gets the taste buds going. It was only after speaking to my wife did I realise that it was a little lacking in the spice department this time round for some reason. Still a great tasting meal. Would really recommend as one of the places you need to try if visiting Manchester. Likewise of you're hosting out of towners. Consistently good. 5stars. ”
“ Was visiting Manchester on a day trip and asked friend for a recommendation for desi food. I am glad he referred Lahori Dera. Gem of a restaurant. We ordered 'Nihari', 'Cholay' and 'Kofta', all three dishes were perfect and the roti (bread) was fresh. Staff was courteous and order was served quickly. It is more of a fast food style so the food is already prepared but it tasted fresh. Seating capacity is limited. There is a toilet behind the front counter which was clean as well. Parking can be an issue as it is on main road. There are no markings infront of the shops so it was easy for us to park infront of the restaurant.Overall good experience and definately will visit again and would recommend to friends and family. ”
