Visited last night with a small group of friends. Always great food and atmosphere. Doesn't serve alcohol but can take your own.
This is a lovely restaurant. Went on a Saturday night around 8pm and it was busy but not overly busy. Servers are attentive and food and drink was served quickly. The prices are very good for what you get. Added bonus is that you can take your own wine/drink in (I don’t drink however they do serve soft drinks) Food is well cooked and there’s lots of it to choose from. Went for a few small plates and a large main (Lamb Shawarma). Well worth a visit.
Best food in altrincham, worst service in the world. I came in, waited to be seated I walked all over the place I even asked one table if they have seen any staff. They finally gave me a sit didn’t ask if I was having any drinks I had to ask and wait again. Everytime between my first soup, extreme waiting time, had my drink, extreme waiting time, had my salmon and not even close to polite they packed it to go. The waitress and the man who walked me to the table were absolutely not caring whatsoever.
No doubt the food is very good. However the size of the rooms can not handle the diners. The amount of staff cannot handle the demand of customers at the level expected. We asked for our food to be boxed when we was ready to leave. We had lots of food left. They kindly obliged. The next day we realised they did not add our salad, which had not been touched by us so a full portion still, was not boxed. Disappointed us this. When we arrived several diners waiting to be seated. We was seated late. Food arrived with a hair in it. It was exchanged but as a matter of process. No human apology or understanding. All in all quite disappointing. Hey we all have bad days right.
The restaurant looks nice, the service was good. Plenty of paid street parking available right in front of the place. The food was okay, just the amount of spice used was a bit strong for my taste, others might like. But I really enjoyed the grilled Halloumi.
Proper hidden gem of Manchester, Went tonight with my husband who had never had lebenese food so we got 8 mezze starters so he could try different things and a main (would have easily fed 4) Every item was spot on, cooked to perfection and full of flavour, servers were very attentive and friendly, yet waited at the top end of the dining room once they had served the food, glancing at customers instead of interrupting whilst eating which is always a bonus (I hate when you have just taken a mouthful of food to be asked "is everything ok") all we had to do was raise a hand slightly and they were at the table. We ordered way too much so staff packed it all individually for us to take home. Added bonus of BYOB with no corkage fee although they do sell wine and beer themselves. Thank you Yara for a lovely evening, we can't wait to return.
We stopped in here for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The service was outstanding and had we had more time we would have kept chatting with our server. This was made perfect by the quality and taste of the 3 dishes we had. The Babaghanouj, Bourak and Maklubeh were outstanding! We’d never had the 2 last dishes and loved the flavor. If we every get back to Altrincham this will definitely be our first stop.
Yara was nice and clean, pleasant atmosphere, food was really nice tasted authentic. Faiz the waiter was really polite great guy. Yara well worth the visit.
The food here is amazing! We had 2 starters, rice and a mixed kebab between two of us, the flavours were wonderful. Just make sure you leave room for the honey & walnut cake and the baklava...they were the best I've ever had!
