About Habbibi - Manchester
Spinningfields has no shortage of places trying to feel special, but Habbibi earns it through the people on the floor. Shiraz, Joseph, Ayoub and Ian Lee come up by name across recent reviews — breaking down the menu without rushing anyone, matching drinks to the mood, and making birthdays feel genuinely looked after rather than processed. A magician working the room is a nice touch for a celebration. Lamb cutlets and ribeye steak are the dishes people keep coming back for, with bang bang chicken and mac and cheese rounding out the most-mentioned plates. Shisha and mocktails are both well-regarded. For a birthday or a long dinner with people worth impressing, this is where Spinningfields locals tend to point.
