Xotica Fusion Takeaway — Restaurant in Salford

Very rarely I give 5 stars to a place and what's even more rare everything I ordered has top marks

Only found out about this place after seeing a YouTube review and it will blow you away like it did to me!!! I've been back many times already

When you first walk in you a stunned by the atmosphere, music and all the chefs communicating between each other like a proper team all working hard to make great consistent food.

I was welcomed by the gentleman with glasses with a big smile and was even given sample donner to try before placing my order that was AMAZING!!! never had donner like this before, it was very juicy ,meaty and tasty

The head chef/owner even came over to say hello. You don't find customer service like this these days expecially when the place was super busy.

Unfortunately I have to say how disappointed we were, we drove from Manchester to especially try the food at xotica as it was recommended by someone who clearly doesn't have taste buds.

We ordered seekh kebab and naan for my son, it was extremely bland, no spice or flavour, came out very quickly, the naan was fresh and hot, however the seekh kebab is questionable to freshness. Unfortunately my son ended up vomiting some kebab back up on to the plate.

The waiters are very nice they offered a taster of the donner meat as it was our first time.

It actually put us off from ordering it even though that's what we came for, we tried the original, bad boy red and lemon all bland the meat was chewy like it was either old or over done.

We proceeded to order and decided to play safe chicken shashlik with naan, and salt and pepper chips. The chips did not disappoint they were the best edible thing we ate.

The shashlik was disappointing, no flavour, no actual curry sauce , 2 pieces of green pepper and couple slices of onion and loads of red food colouring. So bland and the amount of food colouring was extremely concerning I just had two small pieces, my husband did try, it was difficult, not only did they put the slop on top of the naan, but it's not actually a curry. It's like boiled pieces of chicken drenched in food colouring. Good food does not need to be hidden or masked with food colouring, needs a curry base to make it a shashlik. Just pieces of red chicken. Was supposed to come out with salad and yogurt, salad was missing, and sauces came in bottles so we didn't bother with them. We took the rest home, as we don't like to waste, I will add a curry base to make it edible.

I'm sorry to be so negative but this is the truth. If you want a real naan and kebab Abduls is the best you can't beat it, my son was asking me for it but his dad said let's try this place xotica he heard of. For a real shashlik go to mazaa on Stockport Road Manchester, it won't disappoint, real curry with life and flavour.

The restaurant is well decorated, however the atmosphere was dead, for Sunday night 8:30 when we entered there was 4 men on one table and us in a booth. It's cash only. I nipped out across the street to get cash. It's a shame, could this be why it was so quiet??we were gone by 9:25, a couple arrived as we left and two more men. We brought water bottles with us as we never leave the house without water, they assumed it was some drinks and told us we couldn't consume. Despite this we didn't order any drinks. Luckily the food was so bland we didn't need a drink.

Xotica also has a take way down the road, which was really busy, we actually went there first as that is route the sat nav took us, looks good, they had a lot of deliveries coming and going and people waiting, which makes me wonder if the quilty of food is better??

Overall I recommend staying away from meat and going to try the salt and pepper chips, which were best value for money, A nice portion size came in an oval tray.

Spent £33.85 in total, and hour worth of driving, won't be going back. So grateful my gut instincts stopped me from ordering more as we couldn't have been more disappointed...

Hands down the best Kebab I've ever had, and I very rarely post a review for a kebab place. I'm a big fan of these 'stir Fry' flavored kebabs and unfortunately in Stockport there is only 1 place in cheadle that does something similar- and it's terrible, but unfortunately there was no competition at the time so you were stuck with them.

I visited Xotica in Walkden back over lockdown, and it raised the benchmark for a kebab, so much so, then even my grandma will remember 'the kebab place' as Xotica because it was that good - the only problem was it was miles away, and I wished they had a place closer. My wish was granted.

As soon as I opened the box, I knew I had the Rolls Royce of a kebab. The presentation was immaculate, and the kebab was drizzed in their signature sauce exactly how I like it. I love my kebabs saucy, and it's always a big gripe of mine at takeaways who ration the sauce but not here at Xotica.

I ended up eating the kebab using a knife and fork, and it's was absolutely heavenly. Top quality meat, and tasted divine. The classic default sauce is perfect, not spicy and is sweet and puts everyone else to shame. What I also love about Xotica, is that they serve it in a metal takeaway container meaning no soaking box, and most importantly - I can eat with a knife and fork.

This place will be my go to for kebabs now, there is genuinely no competition as the kebabs here are in a league of their own. They blow every other place out of the water, and trust me - I've eaten a lot of kebabs in the UK and...
