I recently visited a restaurant for the first time, lured by their enticing half-price January offer. We ordered four main courses: beef salad, chicken salad, lamb salad, and salmon salad. Each dish was remarkably fresh, and the experience of tasting their culinary creations was truly delightful. It was a joy to dine at this restaurant, discovering their delicious offerings.
However, there was an unusual aspect to our visit. It appeared that the floor above the restaurant was undergoing renovations. As a result, vibrations from the construction work caused dust from the ceiling to sprinkle down onto our drinks and food. We even found traces of dust on our clothes. Despite this, the overall experience was positive. The quality and freshness of the food were exceptional, and the mishap with the dust didn’t significantly detract from the enjoyment of our meal.
This incident was certainly unexpected, but it did not overshadow the quality of the food and the pleasantness of the restaurant’s atmosphere. It’s worth noting that this was an external issue, not directly related to the restaurant itself. I look forward to returning, hopefully post-renovations, to relish their cuisine once more in a more serene setting.
Great food , great customer service and good deals!
I went with two friends at opening time midweek. There were two other tables being occupied as well as ours so I can imagine this place could get pretty busy during peak times.
It was decorated nice inside and everything was very calm and welcoming.
We opted for the lunch time deal which at £10 was a steal!
I ordered mine without chips though and asked if I could instead have more salad which was no problem at all.
It wasn’t long from placing the order to it being brought to the table.
There were a good selection of drinks on offer but I prefer to have my meals with water these days. (Check out the menu though)
The service was great, the guy who took our order was really friendly and checked everything was ok in between service.
I ordered the salt and pepper chicken bab which was full of flavour and honestly delicious!
I think it would be amazing if they offered an alternative choice of bread as I would have LOVED it MORE if it was on a thicker, doughier flat bread or even naan bread.
However it was delicious and I would definitely return!
The kebabs were very different from what you would expect, however that is what made them great. The hardest thing was choosing which main to go for and in the end all of them were fantastic as were the loaded fries. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We'll be back
This place is amazing, easily 5stars. The food the service and the atmosphere are lovely.
I was recommended to come here and I am so glad I did. I opted for the lunch menu which is a bargain! Even out if lunch time the value is still very good. The lamb kebab was so nice with huge amounts of tender meat, the restaurant it’s self is lovely and relaxed and the waiting staff were just so pleasant. I’ve definitely found my new favourite
Dropped in for the lunch deal on a Wednesday afternoon. Had the Chicken Shwarma and couldn't finish it! Generous portion, very tasty
A v decent meal in the NQ. we had the surf & turf and seafood babs and shared v delicious chips . V generous portions. Seafood all tasted really fresh. Rated down from a 5 because the actual flatbread was pretty meh, dense and a bit soggy? The seafood bab could’ve had a bit more salad dressing on. Service was ok, didn’t give us a plate to put all our prawn ends on so had to put them on the table which is a bit grim?? And they didn’t check back or offer more drinks at all. Thankfully we didn’t need anything as the pinot noir was delicioousssss! And they didn’t add service on automatically which is good as it wasn’t that great!
Exceptional. Really good honest food. Festive menu spot on. Calimari a bit on the mean size but very tasty plenty to eat over all. Lamb shawarma bab really delicious.
This place was a great casual sit down in Manchester. Good options for vegetarian, meat eaters and Pesci.
Not sure how this place has bad reviews. Best food I’ve had in a long while. Starters were amazing. Lamb kebab and brisket kebab were LOADED with tender, tasty meat. Flavours were amazing. 10/10
The one problem with sharing a review of this place is that you might find it and then there might not be space for me! Hidden down a NQ back street this little gem is well worth hunting out. Fresh, beautiful, flavoursome food, friendly staff and a beaut ambience! Check em out and I assure you you will not regret it!
The food is too die for. The flat bread dishes are so well conceived and executed. The side dishes were also lovely (though not needed, as the main is generously proportioned). The service was also excellent. Very, very highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nice spot for a fancy kebab. The lamb was very soft and tender. Quick service for lunch between 13:00 and 14:00
Nice place tucked away in NQ, just off Stevenson Square. Serving kebabs in a different way and with lots of different types and flavours.
There's a good lunch deal where a selection of their kebabs are only £10 if you buy a drink (normally they're around £15).
Massive portions for what you pay for too, but can be difficult to finish over lunch.
Booked for BABNQ on a Tuesday evening for a team meal with work, we were visiting Manchester so not familiar with many restaurants but so pleased we picked here!
We needed to push back our reservation, we didn’t get an answer when we first tried but they called us back (never known a restaurant do that!) and we’re really helpful.
It was quiet in the restaurant but still had a really nice vibe and all the staff were friendly and looked after us well.
We ordered quite a few dishes to share from the meze menu which were all delicious! But we probably ate a little too much as the mains were huge and we struggled to finish. Absolutely no reflection on the quality of the food which was great.
Would fully recommend a visit and hopefully we can return for more food again one day
We had our Christmas party here last night and the team absolutely smashed it out of the park. The night was brilliant, the team were fun and helpful from start to finish and the food was raved about. The place has a fantastic atmosphere and they guys honestly couldn’t do enough to help us. Massively recommend Bab as a place to visit for functions or just food. Came a few weeks ago with me a my little puppy and they were brilliant and attentive then. Thank you so much from all of us!
