After a very friendly welcome, we were given delicious amuse bouches while we waited for our main meals, which were very good. Nicely decorated room.

  Seven of us had a meal on Saturday night. Received with a very warm and inviting greeting by our waiter. Tables were too tight and close to each other so... read more I had to breathe in and squeeze past another table to get to my seat (COVID-19 recommendations about space not important?). Drinks and food orders taken in timely fashion but it was 1h 15min before starters came. Mains followed 2.5h after we initially arrived. Service was good but often hard to get attention of staff. Small menu looked very good. Had 2 complimentary tastersappetisers whilst waiting for starters and mains which were a very nice touch but not great in terms of taste. One of the appetiserstasters contained meat so not suitable for vegetarians. I can only review what I had: tarka daal was too thinwatery, champignon sauvage described as having wild mushrooms but clearly not wild (button or other used), Lamb and aloo gosht was a good balance of spice and flavour and probably the nicest thing I had but not that special. All the food was presented very nicely. Portion sizes were too small for starters and adequate for mains. A nice touch was the chef coming out a couple of times to ask how things were. Only fair to below average value with bill coming to £264 (no service charge) for 7 starters, 7 mains and 4 bottles of wine. When asked how I found the meal I replied the starter and mains were too slow to come out. The waiter did not apologise but instead made excuses about everything being cooked from scratch and another large table arriving just before us. He then ignored me as if his explanations were sufficient to justify the slow service. Summary: good service apart from the waiter ignoring any constructive criticism when asked for feedback, menu looked great, food presented nicely. However, cramped tables, slow service, food only average overall (none of the dishes I had I would come back especially for) and only fair or below average value means I will not be back soon. A case of style over substance in my opinion.

  Super tasty food…great service…really good wine selection and such a lovely family business…thanks for a wonderful evening x

  We had a fantastic meal here at this lovely french-Indian restaurant while visiting Macclesfield for the October Festival.
Frenjabi is such a unique concept and the food is delicious!... read more One side of the menu is French inspired and the other Indian. There’s a great selection of classic dishes with modern twists. Food was beautifully presented. Wonderful to have Machli (fish) kebab on the menu cooked in classic Indian style, as you don’t see that very often and cooked so well. The lobster tail in a coconut sauce was fabulous- classic chingri malai and one of the best I’ve tasted.
There’s also chicken, prawns, lamb, sea bream dishes in either Indian or french style. Indian dishes come with rice and Naan. A little treat of amuse Bouches was a nice surprise. It’s not really a ‘fusion’ menu though the gulab jamun Indian sweet with chantilly cream for dessert was a great fusion touch (and delicious). Quite extensive cocktail list at reasonable prices.

Lots of nice touches made this evening very enjoyable. Staff and service were wonderful. The host Andre was very friendly and welcoming. And the chef/owner Rav made a point to come and speak to us and other diners which was great. Nice modern decor (greys and white) and friendly atmosphere with occasional interlude of live music. Overall we had a fabulous evening and we wish we lived closer so we could visit again soon! Definitely recommend for a great dining experience.

  We loved our meal here. We were slightly dubious about the French/Asian concept but it works well. The amuse bouche are a super touch and the lobster curry was delicious.... read more The ambience is very pleasant, the staff attentive and we’ll definitely be back, it’s our new favourite in the area!

  First time back this year, and really impressed. Freshly cooked chicken kebab starter and perfect fillet steaks. Good service from friendly staff and interesting amuse bouches.

  Absolute quality! Andrea is simply the most fantastic of hosts and the food was truly stunning! What a great experience!!!

  Well where do I start. Having had a booking at another restaurant who had to cancel last minute, I was thrown into panic as it was my partners birthday and... read more our first night out as new parents, so had arranged childcare and now had nowhere to go! We had never been to Frenjabi but I took a risk and booked online. The owner rang me almost straight away to confirm the booking and to put my mind at ease (how thoughtful). We arrived and the restaurant was warm (finally a restaurant with some heating on) and inviting and the front of house staff were so welcoming. The main host was probably my favourite person, his enthusiasm and zest for life was infectious and both of us instantly felt at home and relaxed. He was very knowledgeable about the food and conducted the bookings with real professionalism and skill. The attention to detail was fantastic. The music was a mix of French and punjabi which I really liked. Then comes the highlight of the food. It was simply DELICIOUS. The amuse bouche were a lovely surprise too, the pork one was like getting a hug on a cold day. The duck was particularly exceptional and really worth going there just for that. The restaurant even pulled out the stops and brought out a cake and played happy birthday on the piano for my partner which made my day, as it was a lovely touch. I admit I was sceptical about the concept before coming but I'll admit I was wrong, this place is lovely. We can't wait to go back.

  Good food and very Friendly service. Starters and deserts excellent, mains (fillet and duck) a little plain. Would of liked more of the Punjabi influence and certainly more sauce. If... read more anything, an overly generous amount of meat, but lacking the "wow". £35 for a £6.99 screw cap white wine is a bit excessive and the fact we were there for almost 3hrs shows how long each course took. When the chef/ owners (obviously talented) young daughter mimed a full act from Disney's Frozen, I thought I'd been telesported to X Factor! - different for sure! I don't review very often but hope FrenJabi will find this constructive as I'd like to be back and post 5 stars!

  An inspired menu, perfectly cooked and presented! Wonderful staff and an excellent setting. Every component of each dish was perfect, and the front of house staff were entertaining and attentive... read more all the way through. Fine dining with none of the stuffiness. Macclesfield best resteraunt by some way.

  First time dining at FrenJabi, and highly recommended. The restaurant staff were attentive, professional and warm. As soon as we walked in, they knew our name and made us feel... read more very welcome. I loved the pink velvet accents and the seating was really comfortable (nothing worse than a hard chair!).
There were several groups in, all having a great time.It was a relaxed atmosphere, with several live music interludes when the very talented waiter took to the keyboard and played.
Now, the food. Oh my. The menu has both French and Punjabi dishes (with some crossover), and a great selection. I had the salmon en croute which was cooked perfectly. It came with a bombay spiced vegetable accompaniment...amazing!
Inbetween courses the chef and owner brought out 2 amuse bouche, which were both incredible. The meal was topped off with a complimentary drink, which was a lovely gesture.
The meal was brilliant quality and value, but what made it so enjoyable was the experience.
If you haven't been before, I'd really encourage you to do. You won't be disappointed!

  The Indian food was excellent, the starters and main were tasty, nicely spiced and not oily.
Unfortunately the French main was extremely poor - the lamb was full of... read more grissle and tasted like it was an old roast dinner that had been warmed up in the microwave and had then left to go cold, awful.
