REVIEWS
We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Cafe Begum in Manchester. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, but the food and service really stole the show. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was a hit: Prawn Tikka Temptation: Perfectly marinated and grilled—truly lives up to the name! Chicken Tawa & Chicken Biryani: Both were packed with authentic, bold flavors and the chicken was incredibly tender. Dal Tadka: A comforting, flavorful classic that paired perfectly with our mains. Oreo Milkshake: The perfect sweet finish—thick, creamy, and delicious. A special shoutout to our waiter, Samiuddin. He was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. It’s rare to find such a great balance of professional and warm service. If you’re in Manchester and looking for authentic Pakistani flavors with a modern touch, this is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!

Cafe Baygum was awesome. The food was great, the service was on point, and the staff were super friendly. Mr. Ahmad really made sure we had a great time. The place has such a nice vibe too. Definitely worth a visit.

I visited Cafe Begum yesterday with my office colleagues for a birthday meal, and it was a really good experience. The restaurant’s interior is absolutely beautiful, unique, and eye-catching—the theme and colors are amazing and make the place stand out. Now, coming to the food: • Starters were the highlight of the night! We ordered lamb chops and chicken tikka, and both were seriously delicious—highly 💕🤩recommended. • Drinks were good too; we tried the Passion Popstar and the Kiwi one. The quantity felt a bit small, but taste-wise, I preferred the kiwi. • For the main course, we had Chicken Karahi and Lamb Achari Karahi. They were okay—not bad at all, but not as impressive as the starters. The staff was friendly and attentive (though I noticed they have a lot of staff for some reason!), and overall service was great. Overall, I really enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere of Cafe Begum. Definitely worth visiting, especially for the starters and the beautiful ambiance. 😎
