From the moment we stepped through the door, it was a 5/5 experience. We ate around 5:45pm. The restaurant was relatively quiet, we were made to feel extremely welcome the staff were so attentive and extremely polite. The food was excellent and so well priced. I would highly recommend Al Maidah, we will definitely be returning. Thank you to all the staff for a great evening.

I had an amazing experience at Almaida Restaurant in Manchester! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The interior was tastefully decorated, creating a comfortable and relaxed vibe perfect for dining with friends or family. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried had its own unique taste, and you could tell it was made with quality ingredients and care. One of the highlights of our visit was the service. Smriti, who was looking after our table, was exceptional. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the evening. Her professionalism and genuine hospitality really stood out and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Almaida offers a perfect combination of great food, lovely ambiance, and outstanding service. Highly recommend it, and a special thank you to Smriti for going above and beyond!

Lovely family environment, comfortable and a great variety of food available on the buffet. We got served by two very lovely ladies called Simran and Roma, who were really friendly and took care of our table really well. Would definitely recommend 5/5 stars.

Went with a friend today, food was great, everything was fresh or recently prepared, cakes at dessert could be improved I thought they were a little dry, but still there was a great selection of desserts some things made fresh like pancakes and doughnuts. Most importantly the service was FANTASTIC, there is a girl who wears a scarf who is very attentive, she would clean the table and refill the water jugs when needed, and would ask if we needed anything. Overall worth the 21 pound, and would definitely be back again, thank you for the great experience.

Food was amazing, so much variety and everything tasted great. Roma and the rest of the staff were very helpful and attentive. I can’t take spicy food so I was glad that not everything was on super hot level spice. The kids enjoyed themselves too. The only down side is can think is that they don’t give you tap water so you have to pay for all drinks. But the price is very reasonable, especially for kids. So I can’t complain.

All in all an excellent restaurant. Limited varieties for the price they charge but the waitresses make up for it. My Mrs mentioned that it was her birthday and the waitresses brought a large piece of cake and sang happy birthday. It was very nice. Waitress named Simran was very helpful and thoughtful. Food: very good quality Cleanliness: Excellent Atmosphere: Excellent Parking: Yes (Free) It's all HALAL
