“ I'd not been to this restaurant for a number of years wow its amazing all our food was stunning even the children's meal.deffiently one of the top restaurant in manchester, we visited a few times since so many great dishes, the baklava is the best we have ever had drizzled with honey, and warm. Last time my daughter had the saffron ice cream also delicious. ”
“ Thank you for your lovely service and the superb food you and your team provided at our son’s wedding. Many of the guests praised the beautiful spread and the way you had set up the tables. The fact that the venue was more than two hours away from your restaurant speaks volumes about your commitment and ability. Everyone we spoke to loved the food. We had a few international guests who enjoyed the experience and went back, as did most of the guests, for seconds and more. The great majority of the guests had never tried Iranian/Persian cuisine. Yet our son and our daughter-in-law having visited your restaurant many times in the past were confident of their choice of caterer. You excelled. Thank you again. ”
“ We had a fantastic Deezee. The bread was very fresh, and the stew itself was made with very high quality lamb and vegetable. It was served with fresh herbs and onion. We also enjoyed a pot of Persian Tea. The cardamom seeds were of excellent quality, as well as the tea. Maria was a fantastic waitress. She explained in detail what the dishes were and how to eat them. She was also very attentive. This place is one my wife's favourites, and she was very glad to see it reopen ”
“ Been here three times now, and not once has the standard of food dropped. Lamb tongue and kashke bademjan starters are a must have. The only reason I'm giving the atmosphere a 4* is because it isn't full, and it should be! A local business worth supporting, with gorgeous flavours and generous portions. ”
“ Alborz Persian Restaurant is absolutely outstanding. We ordered the chenjeh and a mix of chicken and koobideh, and both were incredible a solid 10 out of 10. You won’t find a better Persian restaurant in Manchester. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for authentic Persian food. ”
“ I visited today Alborz with my family. We enjoyed the food and the hospitality from the staff. The team has a very welcoming attitude from the first moment you enter the restaurant. Not to mention the food was tasty. We enjoyed the Faloodeh desert with Saffron ice cream, and as a nice gesture the restaurant offered us a Persian tea pot with mix of balanced spices that makes the tea experience different. Thank you! ”
“ This place is probably my favourite restaurant ever. Brought all my friends here for New Years Eve, and other marked celebration meals. The food is incredible, beautiful dishes with delicious flavours. Many vegetarian and vegan dishes (aubergine a million diff ways for example). Service is great and it’s BYOB, reasonable corkage 5 for a bottle of wine 1.5 for beers etc and 10 max per table of four) too. Highly recommend this hidden gem. ”
“ My friend has visited Alborz many times and wanted to go back. We took advantage of their 25% offer for lunch. All the food was delicious, it was obviously all home-made and tasted very healthy. The dessert was a nice treat. Our January Blues disappeared... ”
