By far the best lamb sheekh kebabs, I've ever tasted.
The consistency and quality hasn't changed in over 30 years.
To compliment the sheekh kebabs, the nan is nice and fluffy.
Always a pleasure to get a quick bite to eat whilst in Manchester!

Chicken seek kebabs are the daddy.
Chicken donner is great taste but too much food colouring makes my fingers orange for days lol

First discovered this place back in 1999 whilst at uni in Manchester. Visited this place after approximately 3 years and unsurprisingly, whilst the rest of Wilmslow Rd businesses have changed. Lal Qila is one of a handful that have stood the test of time and change in taste. I am not surprised at all that after first having their sheekh kebab in naan 23 years ago, even till now it has the same flavoursome authentic taste. I will go as far as to say I have never ever had a more satisfying sheekh kebab unless it's from here. One of my core uni/Manchester memories.

I’ll tell you what. This place is alright you know.
I used to go to Sajaans across the street but they put me off seekh kebabs for a while. I came in here and what a lovely bunch of gentlemen.
And their food was top notch too. Had a seekh kebab of course and tried their daal with roti. It was really really tasty and well worth coming back for.
One thing is the daal was a bit expensive (but what isn’t these days) it was yummy.
Oh and they take card unlike some places around this neighbourhood.
Thank you Lal Qila

Nan seekh kebab sandwich 🥪😋🤤🤤🤤 delicious I'm a hard man to please normally but cannot fault it good quality kebab clean no after taste perfect amount of salad and a nice combination of sauce on a bed of fresh nan really hit the spot will definitely be coming back even though I ordered a garlic nan and got a plain one I'm not even complaining that's actually how banging it was!

Honestly speaking, it’s not inviting when you look at the decor and location but they make the best Naan kebab I’ve ever tasted!! Mouth-wateringly delicious. Every time I’ve been I’ve never been disappointed. The staff are so friendly and always make the experience perfect.
The dining area could do with a good redecorate and maybe a bit more of a clean. I always opt for a take out anyway.
Well done guys keep up the flavours of Pakistan coming..👍

Meat/Meats -
Finally proper D, not drenched in sauce like I keep seeing on here, thinly cut (a must) proper tasty, reminds me of the donner from saajans fallowfield back in the day...really good
Too many places cut it thick and tastes too meaty and lost the essence of what D is
Impressed
9/10
Bread - freshly made...quite thin but deceptively strong and tasty...not the best I’ve had but nice
7/10
Accompaniments (Salads & Sauces) -
Fresh salad, but no pickled chillis (unless I didn’t see them)
Sauces, yoghurt and chill (they also had mango but I’m not a fan of that on a bab)
Nice sauces, chilli sauce is different, it’s yoghurty and a bit sweet, not too hot but nice, but I prefer the hotter chilli sauce from camel one/RC
6/10
Value -
£4.50 pretty standard I’d say!!
8/10
Eatability -
Held up really well, didn’t drop anything and no splits in the bread...no car clean required 😂
9/10
Overall score- 39/50
Conclusion-
This would make a cracking hybrid bab
Kobeda from RC then portion of donner from here and your into a winner
This will be my new go too for a quick donner
