Rozafa Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Vibe

Pros:

• "The atmosphere is the key to this restaurant's success. Really good vibe inside that replicates being in a little Greek tavern."
• "Very fun environment while still managing to keep the romantic side intact."
• "The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere of a traditional Greek taverna - and the staff extremely friendly."
• "This restaurant is perfection. The food, the atmosphere, music and staff."
• "Absolutely lovely place to visit. High mannerism, table cloth-candle light dinner in authentical Greek atmosphere."
• "What's not to like about this restaurant? Practically perfect. The food is superb, the staff are super friendly and extremely efficient and the atmosphere is delightful."
• "Authentic Greek quisine and atmosphere created by very friendly staff who will happily converse with you and your dubious conversational greek."
• "Great food and a holiday feel! Portions were huge and the staff could not do enough for us."

Cons:

• "The atmosphere, while nice, can sometimes be too loud, disrupting the dining experience."
• "Visited on a Sunday around 4pm. so the restaurant was empty, can't really comment on the atmosphere/vibe."
• "It's a very unpalatable restaurant. It's not like Greek food. There is a strong pungent smell in the store which is very unpleasant."
• "The music was obnoxiously loud and the rose on the table was kept in some murky, old water."
• "The atmosphere was ruined by loud and inappropriate music, making it feel more like a concert than a restaurant."
• "The place inside doesn't look the most hygienic, in need of a desperate refurb, new staff and management recommended."
• "Although the food was good the service left a lot to be desired... No atmosphere just grumpy men."
• "The front of house guy/waiter was incredible, very funny and witty at the same time giving us some Greek culture lessons."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "Food is delicious and the price is reasonable. The portion size of the dishes is appropriate too."
• "Both of us had little experience with Greek cuisine, so we went for the sharing mega meat meze, this meant we got to try a lot of different dishes for a good price definitely recommend."
• "Had an amazing meal here. The dips- hummus and tzatziki with pitta were beautiful."
• "The best sea bass I've had anywhere in the UK! The lemon and dill on it made for the perfect flavors."
• "Rozafa is for real the best Greek restaurant I have ever dined at. The food was simply amazing."
• "Highly recommend! Hands down the best Greek / Cypriot food restaurant in the whole of Manchester."
• "The food was stellar and we can't wait to come again."
• "The food was absolutely excellent! Simple, fresh, super tasty food."

Cons:

• "I don't think the food matched this vibe though. Everything was just okay, would struggle to give anything more than a 7/10."
• "The food is ok, but not up to the standards I’m used to in Greece."
• "Starters were very small but not horrible. You get bread if you order dips but sadly it was burned."
• "The food was mediocre and the place was just trying too hard to act Greek, it's not even authentic."
• "Food was very basic, no flavour. VERY overpriced. Overstaffed and bad service."
• "The food was outstanding and the portions huge. Even with my other half having a ferocious appetite, the portion was so large we took the rest home with us as takeaway."
• "The food was wonderful! Quite overpriced though, £13.5 for a bottle of Retsina?!"
• "Unfortunately, as a Greek person, this was a terrible experience. It’s very disappointing that they use this food to represent the Greek cuisine."
