Wouldn’t go anywhere else for quality Persian food, great service, amazing amazing prices! Not to mention the decor gives the place such a nice atmosphere, would recommend 10000000%
Excellent kobeda and qabily
Eat here on regular basis. Always the same level of taste and service. Great food and one of the best kobeda in town.
I love middle eastern food and this place is the best place i’ve been to in manchester. Surprised it is not more well known. Incredible food and good value.
Delicious food. The koubideh and joojeh were both very soft and tasty. Mantoo (dumplings) were nice and the Lamb Shank was also very nice, very soft meat you could shake off the bone.
Lovely place hidden away. Their most famous dish is Qabli Pulao. Must try, it is perfect mashaAllah. It taste sooooo good. The meat is tender and just falls apart, its mouthwatering. They do a lovely soup for starters and an aubergine starter which is good too. Small family restaurant, lovely atmosphere, great service.
Tucked away unassumingly on cheetham hill road but my oh my they deserve much more recognition. The space is small and incredibly homely and cosy - you feel like you’re eating in someone’s house and the quality of the food is just what you’d expect from such decor. Full of flavour, with that “mums touch” and tender lamb with just the right amount of spice. If you want more there is a beautiful extremely spicy and tangy green hot sauce to accompany the dishes. Get the soup as well - it’ll warm you right up. The price was incredibly reasonable also.
Decided to visit Choupan today after a few recommendations from friends.
It was a small but classic restaurant with Afghan and Iranian style deco and surroundings.
The menu was short but had most of the popular dishes. We ordered Iranian style rice with lamb shank, Manto and Lamb chops.
Everything was cooked to perfection and the taste was spot on.
Finished our meal with a cup of green tea.
The bill came to £38 which isn't bad at all considering the quality of food and service we received.
Will be visiting again soon.
I have attached some pics of the food we ordered and they tasted as good as they look.
Great food, lamb chops were amazing. Small sitting capacity but worth visiting.
Food was good.
Service and atmosphere could be better.
Wasn't my number one.
One of the best kept secrets of good persian food in Manchester. If you try nothing else's try their Qabli Pulao with a lamb shank... excellent portions and authentic taste...
Truly small cozy family run business, well worth a visit.
Can be busy so recommend calling in to ensure table free...
Parking on street near the back... few spaces on front thought hardly ever empty...
Excellent service , amazing food, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.
If you you get claustrophobic then perhaps you need one of the other chains. This place even with it being extended is worth a trial. Food is consistently of a very good standard and whilst some people may be put off by saying it is slightly more than other places, you are paying for quality. You are not paying for the frills of loud music and dim lighting but a place that anytime you will wonder If it's worth the wait of the 20 to 30 minutes at times - trust me i in that it is.
Go with the recommendations
If you don't want burgers or other places that have proliferated in the area, and go with this place. 🅿️ Can be an issue at busy times as you will have to find space in one of the side streets.
