Quick Verdict
Yes, locals go back. Reviewers mention repeat visits and specific dishes they've tried before, which means the food's consistent enough to trust and good enough to return for.
Go if you want generous portions of properly cooked lamb or chicken, fresh ingredients, and a meal for under £20 that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.
About Baity Manchester
Baity's moved to Salford Quays and lost none of its grip. Counter-service Palestinian kitchen at Kargo MKT where you order at the till, grab a number, and wait for food that arrives hot and generous. The lamb shawarma and musakhan (the Palestinian national dish) are what people come back for — reviewers mention them by name, not vaguely. Sharing platters run £10–20 and come loaded: lamb, chicken, rice salad, hummus, sides that reviewers specifically praise. The space has rooftop seating, dogs allowed, and a bar. It's casual, family-friendly, and built for groups or solo lunch. One regular said "it's become my number 1 at Kargo Market." Another missed the old Didsbury location but was relieved this one "hasn't lost its touch." No reservations — you walk in, order, eat.
What Stands Out
Lamb and chicken cooked properly
"The chicken shawarma was incredible, the food was all fresh, juicy and tasty." Another: "The lamb was absolutely delicious." Musakhan reviewer noted "perfectly cooked tender and tasty" chicken and "fragrant spices" with fresh bread.
Portions that actually fill you
"Really generous portions." "The portions are great, filling but not too big." Sharing platter reviewer: "The lamb, chicken, rice salad and so much more."
Quick service, clean kitchen
"Quick service and great team." "The staff are very friendly and their kitchen is very clean." One reviewer called it "Mega tasty authentic food with quick service."
