Description
A rare opportunity has arisen to take over the lease of an established and popular Northern Quarter mainstay. Cafe Marhaba have successfully traded from this location since 1992, and are now looking to pass the business on to the next generation with the business owners impending retirement.
Briefly, the premises consists of a well appointed cafe offering up to 20 covers, with serving counter dividing the main restaurant area with a range of cookers and extractor behind. To the rear of the main restaurant space is a food preparation area, pot was and refrigerator, while both customer and staff W/c's are found at the rear of the premises.
Location
36 Back Piccadilly is located just off Newton Street within Manchester's vibrant Northern Quarter, Manchester's creative heart. The neighbourhood is densely packed with independent clothing boutiques, coffee shops, record stores, and alternative shopping destinations. The property sits directly adjacent to the Rat and Pigeon pub (formerly the historic Mother Mac's).
Transport & Accessibility
• Piccadilly Gardens: The location is a brief three-minute walk from Piccadilly Gardens. This area serves as Manchester’s central hub for high street shopping, bus networks, and the Metrolink tram system.
• Manchester Piccadilly Station: The city's main train terminal is highly accessible from this location, positioned just a short walk to the southeast.
• Pedestrian Access: While accessible by vehicles for deliveries, the tight constraints of Back Piccadilly make it predominantly a pedestrian cut-through for people moving between the commercial core and the Northern Quarter.
Terms
Available by way of assignment of the existing 10 year lease from 21st June 2018, subject to a rent review at the end of year 5. The lease benefits from security of tenure and so a new lease can be agreed at the expiry of the current term, or sooner by negotiation.
Premium
The outgoing tenant is seeking £60,000 for this ‘turn-key’ opportunity with all fixtures and fittings to remain. An inventory can be provided on request to potential purchasers.
Rent
The passing rent is £9,250 per annum
Service Charge
We understand that an annual service charge of £400 is collected to contribute towards ad hoc external repair and maintenance to the building
Business Rates
Rateable Value (2026 List) - £9,100
100% Small Business Rate Relief (sbrr) available to qualifying tenants. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the local council regarding rates payable and any relief available based on their individual circumstances.
VAT

Legal Costs
Each party are to be responsible for their own costs incurred in this transaction
