The 30 Best German restaurant in Manchester

“I came with my girlfriend and this place is awesome. Was a lovely place and the food was amazing, really recommended. Keep it up!! My favorite one was mixed kebab with hummus! Best combination ever!”

“Great spot for always having at least one gluten free beer on tap, usually a couple. I'm a big fan of when they've got locals like Brightside. Generally a good atmosphere whenever I come. Sometimes a lot busier than others, probably event related as it's very close to a number of live venues. That said, I can often find a seat in the second, quieter room pictured below. I would appreciate GF food options, but I understand this is exceptionally difficult considering they do pizzas. The music is almost never particularly loud, which means you can always converse. The only setback would be that some of the beers can be pricey, but this is absolutely to be expected given they are quality craft beers rather than mass products, and I say this is one of the few spots where it's worth it”

“Thank you for the incredible food and excellent service at Shaam. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I couldn’t help but notice the same care and attention given to the dishes on other tables as well, all accompanied by a wonderful aroma. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make my birthday special by bringing out a slice of cake with a candle, creating a lovely atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to offer a variety of music, and we did notice a few bothersome flies from time to time.”

“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.”

“Very impressed, didn't expect much when looking from outside the shop, but upstairs was a smart restaurant area. The food was fresh and delicious. Great customer service too. Will definitely visit again.”

“Really lovely place to eat. Always happy to serve and go above and beyond for you. Hussain always is very kind and is very attentive to his customers! The food is lovely which is great :) Good for kids too”

“I just celebrated my birthday and book release ("Sun-Kissed and Sidetracked") here, and I couldn’t be happier! The service was top-notch; the team greeted me warmly and made me feel really special. The food and drinks were delicious, and everything came out super fast. A lovely complementary dessert plate made my day. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone wanting a memorable meal! Looking forward to our next visit!”

“Outstanding delivery experience from German Doner Kebab! A huge shoutout to Ayesha and Hussein for their excellent service. The food arrived fresh, hot, and perfectly packaged — exactly how a takeaway should be. Ayesha made sure everything in the order was spot on, with all the extras and sauces included (which so many places get wrong!). You can tell there’s real attention to detail and care behind the scenes. Hussein clearly takes pride in the prep — the doner was packed with flavour, generous portions, and just the right balance of meat, salad, and sauce. Fast delivery, great quality, and brilliant service — couldn’t ask for more. Thanks again to Ayesha and Hussein for making it such a smooth and satisfying experience. Will definitely be ordering again! TA”

“A very nice bar with a great atmosphere in the center of Manchester. Mostly Brewdog beers of course. We were served by Jordan and James, they were really nice”

“Absolutely loved this hotel. It is a short walking distance from the train station, easy to access. The building looks amazing and the rooms are just fab! It is a proper hotel room but very well equipped even had a small kitchen installed giving a feeling of an RBnb so you can cook your own meals if you want. Nice and clean bathroom with some nice brands of shampoo and body wash. Also had iron and hair dryer. Oh, and the view was stunning, staff was superfriendly. Wifi was quick, easy to connect and even the staircase looks beautiful. Highly recommended accomodation if you visit Manchester.”

“Ashel was really helpful and kind, food came really fast and it was fresh & nice.”

“Great food! Vegan chicken and donner are the best I've had. Kind staff and good pints too!”

“Had a few lockdown takeouts from here over summer so was brilliant to get to eat in house tonight. Great service and lovely food. Good selection of tantalizingly priced cocktails too. Espresso martinis that were almost as good as my own. Book early. This place is a gem.”

“This place is absolutely amazing, the food is just simply stunning, proper authentic Indian cuisine, amazing value for money and fantastic staff, superb, definitely my favourite curry place in Manchester.. If you like curry dont hesitate you MUST try this place”

“We saw on our receipt that our server’s name was Jazmine Louise. She was an absolute delight — had us chuckling away and made us feel very welcome. Such a friendly and funny young lady, she really made our outing that much nicer. As a couple that doesn’t get out as much these days, it was really lovely to feel so welcomed. She’s actually given us the confidence to start dining out a bit more — even if it’s just back to German Doner Kebab! The food was great too — I had the doner wrap which was amazing, especially with the three sauces on it, and my partner had the quesadilla meal which he really enjoyed. All in all, a lovely experience thanks to Jazmine and the great food!”

“Lovely place, right next to Heaton Park metro. Only had a brew and a cake but it’s spacious, light and airy, with nice, big booths and a sunny back yard (looks like a good set up for DJ’s too) Coffee was good, sweet stuff was from Silver Apples, so pretty familiar and more than decent quality. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely head back and try some proper food and drinks soon”

“Arguably one of the best Donner Wraps that I've had in a long, long time. The mests are very flavoursome and they're not dry like some other places. The prices are reasonable and it's definitely worth the money. Chips taste nice too and you get a good selection of 3 sauces which is a nice added extra. Didn't have to wait a long time to get my food either. I'd buy my Donner from here any day rather than the cheaper takeaways nearby. The salad and sauce that comes on the Wrap is also very tasty! Always updating their menu too which is good to see.”

“German doner kebab is a popular street food featuring grilled, shaved meat (often chicken or veal) served in a flatbread sandwich with a variety of sauces, salads, and vegetables . German Doner Kebab (GDK) Manchester - Fallowfield is located at 311-313 Wilmslow Road, Fallowfield, Manchester M14 6NW. Sunday - Thursday: 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday & Saturday: 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.”

“Great location to go out with family and friends. There are lots of activities where you can enjoy the evenings or the weekend.”

“UPDATE. This is definitely the best Indian in Darwen. Although not on the menu, they do do a cauliflower side and tonight I even took my own aubergine. The food is always delicious and plentiful and the service is top notch. Toilets not quite finished but getting there. I wish they would bring the bill with the Bailey's. PREVIOUS We went there last night, Wednesday, at 5.30 for a change from our usual Sunday venue. We were warmly welcomed and served drinks (two pints of Cobra). The heating was on. We ordered three poppadoms (which came with a far too big a pickle tray), 2 mains from their chefs recommended specials with a vegetable rice, a garlic and cheese naan and a portion of onion bahjis. It was absolutely delicious, faultless and plentiful. Giving The Akash a run for its money? Most certainly at £42.00 with complimentary Bailey's. The decor is lovely. Miminalistic muted greys with the colourful paintings as a beautiful contrast. Not too bright. The service was discreet and professional. Not overly friendly. Downside? The toilets reaĺly do need attention to finish the refurbishment. Thank you. We will return very soon. Looking forward to their Sunday buffet which they said, is coming soon.”

“A few of us ate here for Sunday dinner recently. The food was lovely & there is a wide selection on the menu & we were well looked after by the staff. I would strongly advise booking.”

“I had many of my friends recommending this place, and when we finally tried it for my birthday - it exceeded all expectations! The service was amazing, very helpful and welcoming. The food was unreal, very unique menu with lots of things to try. We tried a fair few dishes as recommended and I’m still thinking about their pastas dishes. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff for making my birthday so special.”

“The place to go in Royton - and Oldham for that matter - for craft beer. The menu is always changing with great choices from various breweries from across the UK. The atmosphere is always good and you're always given a friendly welcome. The food is great too, be it the in-house burgers or the various street food vendors that come into the kitchen, too.”

“The service from jess at the front of the house and james in the kitchen was excellent. The beers were refreshing, and the food was exceptional. My steak was one of the best I've tasted, the highlight of my visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.”

“Favourite kebab takeaway in Stockport. Lovely, fresh, tasty kebab on chips with salad! Great value for money. Homemade baklava, very generous portion and absolutely delicious!”

“Ordered food on App and it was ready and waiting for collection when we arrived. Food was excellent and portions large at reasonable price. Staff very friendly and shop was busy showing how popular it is. Car parking to the side which helped Couldn't fault any of it Will be our first choice chippy now!!”

“Great shop and lovely family who own it. Lots of polish and turkish food.”

“Lovely chippy with great owners. Mixed kebab is great value and the chilli sauce is lovely.”

“I absolutely love this place. First visited 20 +years ago when they first opened and I lived in Manchester. I now live up North near Penrith so it’s a treat when I get to visit and I feel like a kid in a sweet shop… The selection is incredible, the price are good, presentation is beautiful. Quality is top notch… staff are lovely I only wish we had a place like this up north and I could visit everyday!!!”
