Flaiva — Restaurant in Salford

Just literally finished our meals and had to write a review. Just got back from holiday, couldn't be bothered cooking and went to my usual takeaway only to find it closed. Decided to take a punt on Flaiva having seen it on a reel somewhere on socials. Having been warmly greeted by a very amiable young lad, who i later discovered is the owner, I placed my order and came back about 15 minutes later to collect. After a lengthy conversation with the lads mum about take aways, I was told that they always prioritise quality food and all hand made in house. I left with my food shortly after and I was desperate for it to be amazing because I couldn't help thinking how refreshing it is to see a family business so passionate about what they do. Let me tell you; it did not disappoint in any way! Fresh crispy fries, succulent and tasty salt n pepper chicken, flavoursome (or flaiva-some i guess) sauces, tender and tasty chicken wings with a real flame grilled smokiness, matched with a punchy peri peri kick. I struggled to finish the box (and I can normally put away a tonne of food), but it was far too nice to leave anything so I persevered until it was gone 😁 I will certainly be back to try other things and can wholeheartedly say that if you're unsure about trying here then don't be as its absolutely superb. I am a bit of a foodie, I like to cook and I like to eat out. I have high standards about food. I only usually leave reviews if it's terrible or outstanding and this falls firmly in the latter category. Great food, and lovely people too who absolutely deserve your business. In Swinton, I can only really think of one other, good reliable and high quality food and now finally I've found another....

Tried Flaiva for the first time after watching a recent review.

They even offered a 50% discount on the first order you place too which is really good and shows that they obviously back their food and are certain you will come back for more...they aren't wrong.

I tried 2 boxes (the Peri Peri and the Jerk box).

The Peri Peri was the clear winner for me out of these 2 but I'm definitely going to try some of the others.

The Peri Peri chips were a delight (the Mrs even dipped into those and said how good they were). The rice was flavourful and the chicken was nice.

I actually preferred the jerk chick over the Peri, but the dumplings were just OK, the rice wasn't as tasty either. The jerk one came with jerk gravy, but again, nothing special there. It was good but it wasn't great like the Peri.

Even my kids dipped into these and they won't normally touch anything that looks like it's been anywhere near a vegetable or sauce other than Ketchup...

I would recommend you give this place a try especially if you can use the 50% off offer which makes the value for money...

Just ordered from Flaiva and we know they are changing the menu but I can honestly say the food is amazing!. We ordered Korean chicken burger with chips and peri peri chicken rice and chips box plus two milkshakes (bubblegum and jamming dodger) both food orders came was big portions. And the quality and presentation of them was amazing.

The Korean chicken burger was really good. It was bigger than the bun and the seasoning was on point. The chips had seasoning on each one, was Crispy but fluffy in the middle.

The peri peri chicken box was lovely, the chargrilled peri peri chicken was 10/10, the rice was great and again every chip had seasoning on. Infact it was like sitting in a restaurant kind of meal!

The milkshakes was a huge hit too. The bubblegum was amazing and tbh its made me want another. The jamming dodger again was 5 stars too!.

Both of us are pretty much in a food coma now and are really impressed with the quality and quantity of the food from flaiva. I really would recommend this place within...
