★★★☆☆ This place definitely has the biggest buffet I've been to and it's cool that you can watch them cook some dishes and naan behind the line. Here comes the but... buuuuut people are correct when they say customer service is severely lacking. We get it, it's a buffet and you want to keep people moving in and out. The table dudes always seem to be hovering nearby to get you moving out of the place.
*The Place*
Taking it back to the beginning though, the place is impressive and I would say a beautiful location for a wedding. Lots of great opportunities for photos and very well decorated. Oh, and tons of parking which is awesome. There are so many, many, many tables and chairs in the buffet hall that it resembles a fancy cafeteria more than an upscale restaurant. It tries to get there, but a decrease in the number of tables by 25% would yield a better experience during the customer's time in the restaurant.
*Drinks*
The waiter who takes the drink orders was impatient and not really willing to explain the drinks at all. I requested a lemonade, which should be simple enough. I got a sugar free (stevia) 7Up with. a. lemon. floating. in. it. When I objected, the guy was neither willing to understand my request nor change the drink. That was frustrating.
*Food*
The variety of food is good. Indo-Pak fare of all saucy, rice, and wok varieties that you can think of. Kebabs, koftas, karahi, oh my! A salad bar (no dressing though... what gives, desi places? some pepole like dressing, not rabbit food). Naans, paratha, and roti sooooo fresh and warm that you'll overload on carbs. But they also have this little bar with non-desi food (this is a don't because it's not well executed and should only be given to picky kids who wasted your buffet money on overcooked pasta).
*Dessert*
There is a dessert buffet with all the desi and non-desi sweets and cakes and such. And there are dessert-ish drinks like pina colada.
Overall, the place is nice, the food is good, and the experience can be so-so. If they can reign in their waiters and table staff, and maybe reduce the sheer volume of people in at once, they will be great. Seriously, reduce the number of tables and create demand so great that you'll have a waiting list. It's basic business sense.
7/10, would go again. Posted on January 27, 2020 |

★★★☆☆ No doubt it has the biggest buffet i have ever been to in an ethnic restaurant setting but the food is very average affair. Customer service is even worse. They dont think that people are their to spend quality time with family & Friends and eat food on the side. Nawab moto is like a factory that bring people in and push them out asap. They will only give you 90 minutes to be there. If you are with a large group then no time to interact with any one as every one trying to struggle and get some medicore food available to eat. Its working for them so its going to go like this but i wish they pay more attention to their customer service and come up with a better way to deal with this time management.

★★★★☆ One of the best buffets around, well worth the visit Posted on June 13, 2013 |

|
★★★☆☆ Agree with the points below. Lot of rush after 7.30pm - food is on a general level on the taste, but really good environment. Posted on July 18, 2012 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ Make sure when you come here you haven't eaten for a day. Too many varieties for one sitting. All good. Something for everyone. Parking at the rear. Enjoy. Posted on June 17, 2012 |

★★★☆☆ I would say very good value for money, a good experience for people who have not being to a buffet before, the starters are good and the main dishes also are good Posted on December 30, 2011 |

★★★★☆ Buffet food is generally of good quality, starters being the most popular of the buffet by a long shot! Particularly the chapple kebabs and the lamb chops! Main courses are reasonably ok but no real depth with the authenticity of the dishes... Almost made with the purpose of being part of the buffet but not holding it's own like the starters, the desserts are repetitively the same after each visit although satisfying... Great ambience at nawaabs, always busy and always a delight if you don't go too regularly! For people who haven't been before it's a great experience for meal out with a group of friends.

★★☆☆☆ I thought Nawaab was great the first time I went but it has rapidly lost it's attraction. The starters are good but the mains are really greasy and poor. The staff are rude and they demand that only one credit card can be used per party - a real pain. After eating there a second time I was bored with the food - not worth the queue - and I won't go back - there are a lot of other buffets with better value and better food and less rude staff.

★★★★★ Nice place - relaxed/informal. Amazing started and nice salads. Main courses good but not brilliant. Horrible shiny cloth napkins that are barely useable. Overall one of the best in Manchester Posted on August 8, 2010 |

★★★★★ Great food and environment. Posted on July 2, 2010 |

★★★☆☆ I'm not a big fan of buffet restaurants due to below par quality of food and this place was no exception. Very ordinary food with no dishes to remember. If you're looking to fill up on cost of quality of food, this place is probably worth a try. Posted on June 21, 2010 |

★★★☆☆ buffets ok, feel like your at a wedding when sat there. quality could be a touch better. Posted on November 20, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Buffets hardly come close in quality to food ordered a-la-carte. However, Nawaab is a rare establishment in the UK. Posted on October 13, 2009 |

★★★★★ Nawaab is not just an ordinary Pakistani restaurant. Its an experience! A large number of dishes from puri halva to pizzas, number of desserts, salads etc etc etc etc. Most of the items are cooked in front of you. If you love food you MUST go there. Word of advice: try a little bit of everything and I mean everything but do not waste food. Posted on February 9, 2009 |

★★★★☆ Great buffet, decently priced as well. The place always is filled with ppl Posted on January 10, 2009 |

★★★★★ Fantastic menu served via a buffet. Freshly cooked food in front of you.(Open Kitchen) Salads, Starters, Main Course and Sweets. Oh! not forgetting nan's, rice etc. We live approx 4 hours away and still make a regular visit once a month. Posted on October 18, 2006 |
