Maray Manchester

Came here to celebrate my partners bday and make use of their jan vegan offer - definitely worth the visit ! Got the falafel sharer plate, disco cauliflower, and the sweet potato. All were gorgeous and yummy. Definitely worth the hype for the cauliflower, beautifully cooked and a divine sauce (would recommend ordering additional pita just to mop it up). Falafel sharer is great for two, a stretch for three, and has a nice good mix of the general vibe of all the small plates for a "sample" of what they offer. Finished off with the vegan ganche, very very rich and smooth. Luxurious and very indulgent - would reccomend sharing if you don't have a sweet tooth

Such an incredible experience from the service, the atmosphere, and especially the food. Firstly the staff are attentive, friendly, and professional. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, decorated beautifully, and is such a breathe of fresh air - cosy yet spacious. A very welcome space from the bustling streets outside. Most importantly the food: what an experience it is to eat at Maray Manchester. The quality of the ingredients, the presentation, the flavours, the effort put into each and every dish on the menu is just exceptional. The roast dinner flavours are absolutely exquisite. It's not just a meal it is a full on experience of flavours and textures. From the oversized Yorkshire puddings to the parsnip puree base, it's safe to say the Roast dinner had our table silenced. Food so good you forget you're at a restaurant. The desserts are the perfect way to round off the show, a bread and butter pudding that has you scraping the plate, and a season special - a delicious Bara Brith with additional hints of caramel, Guinness, and rum flavours. It's nothing short of a masterpiece: personal and comforting. From every point in dining at Maray you can feel the passion from every person behind the scenes. Thank you to the staff, and to the chefs that work so hard. It is an absolute pleasure to dine here, and I'm already planning my return.

My partner and I visited Maray on a clement Manchester evening in Early October. We wet our whistles with a swift pre meal drink at Founders Hall, a JW Lees establishment but a stones throw from the restaurant on Albert Square. The restaurant was abuzz with a convivial atmosphere, impressive for 5.30 on a weeknight. Our waitress was called Tina and was friendly, knowledgable and happy to share her insights on the menu. We pretty much took her word for what they are known for and the dishes we chose really were terrific. We had 5/6 small plates and it was a cornucopia of flavours, colours and textures. Portions of roast carrots with tahini, disco cauliflower and oyster mushroom shawarma were as delicious as they were generous in size. Whipped goats cheese with beetroot from the mezze section was mopped up with delicious warm pitta. Finally a whole fried crispy sea bass with remoulade which blew my socks off. Price point felt very reasonable. We’ll certainly be back to try the rest of the menu. Or just order the exact same! A truly delightful restaurant experience.
