Located at 40 Wilmslow Rd in Manchester, Al Safa Takeaway is making a name for itself as a halal dining destination that promises authentic flavors and generous portions. Patrons consistently rave about the well-prepared charcoal chicken, which is said to be full of flavor without the dryness that can often plague grilled dishes. The freshly made naan complements every meal, enhancing the experience.
Customers like Anwar Hussain highlight the standout dishes like chicken tikka and lamb kebabs, noting they offer great value for money.

Well cooked charcoal chicken. Full of flavour and not dry at all. Naan was freshly made to order. Good service.

First time visit, excellent food. I got the chicken tikka with naan with the Lamb kebab with naan and chips. It's definitely value for money, flavoursome with the right amount of potion. I will certainly be visiting them again and recommend others to do so.
I've been here numerous times over the years and the food is always lovely. Great fresh food #14.

The quality has gone a little down as the chicken was too dry and somewhat different taste too. Not sure the spices have changed. The Kobeda was like always bang on. The prices have been raised and assuming that everything else has also done the same.

Popped in at 10pm on a Saturday night. The place was heaving. I had the "#7" from the board - Chicken & Kobeda - with rice (and an extra naan). 17.60 with a can. Simply the best food I've ever had in Rusholme. Took half of it home. Fresh. Huge portions. Can't wait for tea. Friendly staff too. Don't hesitate.

Amazing food. So delightful and tender. Enjoyed every bite of the mixed grill. Even the fish was outstanding. Perfectly cooked. All spices were blend out nicely and the sauces went well with the food.

Most delicious food. Suggested by friends. They have variety of Deloris dishes at affordable price. Must try kobeda kebab. Must try dal comes with pulav which has vegetables and chicken in it. So tasty, must try.
