Rozafa - Manchester

Absolutely lovely place . Been wanting to try it for years and we finally did. The restaurant is very Greek authentic with very friendly attentive staff . Fantastic menu choice and the house whites decent too. Both of us really enjoyed our meals the lamb is so authentic and just falls of the bone .

We went for an early bird deal just after lunchtime, and quite enjoyed our time there. The food was rich, full of flavour, affordable, and different to what I would normally have. As it was an 'early bird ' time there were not many other people, and the service was quick. A great place to start (or continue) your acquaintance with Greek and Cypriot cuisine!

After spending some time traveling from London to Manchester, my family and I were eager for some different food, namely Greek. At home, Mediterranean food is our favorite. From the beginning of our experience in Rozafa to the end, we were very, very disappointed with the service. The service was poor. They barely came to our table. When I asked our server to explain the dish, he acted like he didn't understand me and put it down for my order. We ordered a first course of pita bread and hummus for 3, and we were given 2 slices of pita bread while other tables were given 6 (for two people, btw). Once our dinner came, we didn't see the server for another hour. Yes, we were at this restaurant for almost an hour and a half and most of it entailed waiting to be acknowledged. We didn't see this with the other tables, and it has lead us to believe that they targeted us as Americans. We did not show them disrespect. We asked questions, and we tried to be unassuming. Needless to say, but it is not high on my recommendations. Ohh...and the food was okay.

Great atmosphere, fun and friendly service, live Greek music, and most of all tasty food value for money! I went in a group of 9, and 15 minutes in to being sat down we were encouraged to get up and join in on some Greek dancing! We found ourselves dancing in one big circle around the restaurant with another big group of customers, as well as a few waiters! The food came out in good time, drinks were topped up plenty, they even threw in the odd freebie. Felt like we were on holiday would definitely recommend.

My first Greek food experience in Manchester! and definitely not the last! we picked up this restaurant after to have seen the good reviews on Yelp! Food was lovely and portions really generous! we had some apetizers 1st with houmous and haloumi (that didnt really taste like goat cheese)! we had to ask for more bread as the quantity provided wasnt really proportional to the houmous! we got a big tray full of bread and wasnt charged for it surprisingly! then I got the lamb chops that were very tasty! if I remember I had 5 or 6 in my plates so more than enough to get completly full! the atmosphere was... original! of course there was greek music, but they played it using youtube so it was a bit strange as at the end of each song there was a break while they were looking for the next one! staff was very nice and helpful! I will definitely go there again as I need to try their mega mezza that looks more than interesting!
