Reviews Remal Restaurant

Our safest place ever! I said Safe because the food is always have same taste which is wonderful and we know what we ganna have! Highly recommended!

Well first time visit for a Birthday, nice atmosphere. Had a couple of issues and to be fair, they were rushed off their feet. All sorted immediately ! Food is great, as are the staff, what a lovely manager (rare these days). There were 7 of us with different tastes but we all found something great off the menu to enjoy. Will definitely visit again very soon, book quickly as they are always busy.

Understated appearance on the outside hides a little gem of a restaurant. Menus are varied with a good variety of dishes from the Middle East at very reasonable prices. Everything is served with the most delightful mini pitta breads which are worth a visit on their own. You have to take your own alcohol with you but that wasn't an issue and in fact, kept the cost down. I can see the Remal becoming a regular haunt going forward.

I had quite high expectations for this place. The place itself is beautiful, I like the interior + the starters were great - definitely recommend Mix Mezze Platter, Kibbah and Tabbouleh (the best I’ve ever tried). However, the mains were honestly average - not many spices unfortunately. Remel’s Fateh 7/10, Chef’s Mix 7/10, Muklubieh 6/10, Lamb Chops 5/10

We love it here! Been around 6 times now and have enjoyed every single bit of food I have been served. Beautiful surroundings and great service always. 😌

It was my first time having Lebanese food. It was very good and I would recommend visiting Remal. The owner/chef was happy to chat and explain the dishes, and it made for a all round great experience

I don't know why I travel all the way into Manchester City Centre when there are local places like this!! This place is a hidden gem! My friend ordered the potato kibbeh - these were small and delightful with a thin crusty texture on the outside and the mashed potato and lamb mince on the inside. I ordered the sucuk, thin slices of a spicy beef sausage - the flavours were strong and moreish. These were served with a basket of homemade white flatbread which were incredibly fresh and soft - they were pitta shaped but were fluffy and pillowy, not the hard dry white stuff you get in supermarkets! The waiter assured us that there was always plenty of bread available and sure enough we had another basket of lovely bread with our main courses. We both ordered the Chef's Mix which were skewers of charcoal grilled marinated meats - chicken, minced lamb and lamb shish pieces, served on a bed of onions and parsley and a chilli sauce.We also ordered a mudjadara rice between us as a side dish - a mix of lentils and rice cooked in spices and topped with crispy fried leeks. Yummy. We both agreed that although the flavour profile of the meats were quite similar to other nearby places (e.g. Turkish restaurants), the seasoning was better balanced here and most importantly, the cooking of the meat was excellent. Here, the chicken was succulent and tender, not dry and hard, and overall it looks like they know when to take it off the grill! At other places the charcoal grilling has left the meat hard and burnt at the edges with a bitterness - here everything was cooked just right. Although we were stuffed and were only considering an Arabic coffee, we both encouraged each other to go for a dessert. Unfortunately my friend's Halwa wasn't available so he joined me in a Muhallebia. Now normally I'm not one to bother with a dessert - I prefer crisps to chocolates and would rather have starter and main instead of main and dessert! And we were already incredibly stuffed! But this dessert blew my mind - a delicious milky pudding, not too dissimilar to a panna cotta but fluffier and less silky in texture. However, the flavours - wow the sweet vanilla with a tint of rose water, it was truly heaven and I haven't felt that way about any dessert for years! Garnished with chopped pistachios, this was for me the surprise star of the meal! Followed by strong and fragrant Arabic coffee, it was a fantastic end to a great dining experience. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, and I thought the decor, lighting and music was just perfect for the place. I highly recommend this place - it's small and relaxed and deserves attention. I hope it keeps these high standards up as I definitely want to come back and try the other offerings (and the Muhallebia again!).
