Tried Elaf in Whitefield for the first time and it was amazing! The food was so fresh and full of flavour. We especially loved the grills, lamb dishes and the smooth hummus. The muklubieh was a real highlight and the portions were really generous😊 It’s a lovely family-run place with a homely feel and plenty of veggie options too. The team were so welcoming and we honestly enjoyed every dish. Bonus points if you’re coming from Manchester - it’s only about 20 minutes by tram or car.

Some me and My Wife have been past Elaf several times and we fancied a Takeaway so I popped into Elaf and I was warmly greeted by a member of staff and had a look at the Menu. To eat I ordered a lamb chops with chips, Mixed kebab with chips and while I was waiting the member of staff ordered me a Lebanese Coffee which was my First time trying and I must say as a coffee drinker all my life was one of the best coffees I have ever had. After 10 minutes my food was ready and the restaurant threw in some freebies which was a nice touch and when I got home me and my Wife tucked into our food and I must say we were extremely impressed the food was delicious and we cleaned our plates. On our next visit we are going to dine as the restaurant is spotlessly clean, lovely interior and decor and the food was fantastic. 5☆ 5☆ I post alot of reviews on Google and I always give my honest opinion on everything from food, cleanliness, drink, Service, value for money, setting, ambience etc and I have over 40,000,000+ views on Google alone.

We had an amazing experience at Elaf! We travelled all the way from Stockport after seeing a TikTok video, and the food definitely lived up to the hype. The meats were top quality, the dips were freshly made, and everything tasted like a delicious home-cooked meal. The staff were so lovely, helpful, and attentive. Our server, Imani, was wonderful — polite, friendly, and so sweet with my daughter, which made us feel incredibly welcome. We didn’t have to wait long for our food, and we even received a complimentary baba ganoush, which was such a thoughtful touch! The portions were generous, and we even had enough to take home. Overall, a fantastic experience — we’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Elaf to anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality!

Exceptional food, exceptional service! I was so shocked it was so quiet. We got the mixed kebab and the meat was delicious! Juicy, flavourful and so well cooked! We will definitely be returning!

Maz was honestly such a great waiter! He was really friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable straight away. He checked in at the right times without being overbearing and made sure everything was perfect for us. His service was quick, professional, and he had such a positive attitude the whole time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers having a good experience. Thank you Maz for the great service! The food was delicious so goood will recommend to everyone!
