Kebabish Takeaway & Restaurant Manchester - reader comments

"Utter Disaster. Do not go to spoil your evening. Will take only cash (trying to save Vat!?!). Awful service, rubbish food, smoky rooms. What the hell was that?" - sandeep, manchester 28/1/08 (visited on Sunday evening)

"The restaurant was a disaster " - Karim, Pakistan 30/12/07 (visited on Tuesday morning)

"Terrible restaurant. As soon as we arrived through the door, the smell of smoke from the kitchen immediately stung our eyes. They don't have a proper kitchen. The menu cards are made from cheap plastic and are ripped. Me and my family had to find our own table because no waiter came to seat us. We found one table in the corner as the rest were taken. As we sat down we felt like we were on a slope, the table was tilting diagonally. To our luck we found a different table and no surprise it had used lollies and leftover food scattered around it. We had to get the waiter ourselves and we ordered the food. The only good thing about the food is that is extremely cheap and excellent value for money! We had to wait for 45 minutes for our food but I have to say it was worth it. I would probably recommend the food to people but never in a million years the atmosphere. 6/10" - zain, stockport 26/12/07 (visited on Tuesday eve)

"It was OK but needs a lot of improvements because there wasn't good service and the toilets were disgusting. They defo need a re-do plus they are very small. The tables and chairs are very dull and uncomfortable. But the food tasted alright but I have tasted better. If they make some improvements they'll eventually get there" - Mezzy, Preston 17/12/07 (visited on Saturday eve)

"Kebabish Original is a hardcore Pakistani restaurant" - Hira, London 20/11/07 (visited on Monday eve)

"Awful restaurant - if you can call it a restaurant. It's more a take-away. We came in and stood waiting for a while - didn't know whether someone would come and sit us down or if we were to choose our own seat - the staff seemed too busy to notice us. Finally a chef asked a waiter to take us to a table. As mentioned in other reviews (below), it was also extremely noisy on my visit. The waiters were all just waking around looking busy and no one came to take our order so we had to ask for someone to come over and do so. Many other diners were growing impatient with the poor service - I witnessed 3 different people actually get up and fetch the waiter to their table. By the time we placed the order the waiter was very aggressive and not helpful at all. The dishes arrived at different intervals and they forgot that we ordered Naan Bread. We had to ask for it again although I wish we hadn't as it was cold and too dry. The food was horrible, meat was overcooked and cold and the salad was old and soggy. You have to pay at the till on the way out and the guy taking the cash (who also takes the takeaway orders) wasn't friendly at all. It was not a good experience and considering all the other good restaurants in Rusholme I'd advise anyone to stay well clear!" - Joanne Begg, Manchester 20/10/07 (visited on Fri eve)

Trusted Reviewer "I've been looking forward to my visit to Kebabish Original for sometime - apart from the rave reviews below, it's also the hub of activity on Wilmslow Road and the only restaurant that is always full whatever time day or night - the clientelle are also 90% Asian, which is also a good sign. From the outside though, it looks little more than a takeaway and I wish I had simply done that - ordered the food and taken away. Apart from being dirty and little more than a diner - metal tables and sellotaped laminated menu cards - the ambience was terrible. Signs stated 'strictly no alcohol on the premises' whilst the wall-mounted TV broadcast an English-speaking Asian TV channel; it's Bollywood film reviews piped through the extremely loud speakers on full blast. Children were screaming and people had to shout at each other to be heard over the din. The waiters, who were obviously too busy to do their job, were constantly being chased around by customers demanding to know where half their order had got to, and when they were present, they were almost aggressive and very hard to hear over the background noise. The food was extremely cheap for Rusholme (£5 for a main course) however the quality wasn't very good - poor lamb cuts, brown lettuce and dry Naan's. Whilst the Roast Chicken in the window looked inviting enough, I certainly wouldn't be returning for anything more than a takeaway - and even then there's far better choices along Wilmslow Road." - Neil, Manchester 19/10/07 (visited on Thursday evening)

"Excellent grills, Good quality ingredients, I often come here with office staff and friends for grills. Great value for money. I don't like curry dishes" - jawad, manchester 15/8/07 (visited on a friday evening)

"Food is always terrific. Even so called curry conniseurs I've taken there have been blown away by the food!" - neil carter, manchester 21/4/07 (visited on a saturday evening)
