It's a tiny little lebanese bakery that's stands tall among all other bakeries! As soon as you walk in the smell of the dough and the bakery will take you back to your childhood (if you grew up earing lebanese pies for brekafast). The pies were amazing. The service was great, very authentic lebanese pies (manaeesh) we had the cheese,the meat and the one and only zaatar (thyme) this is my 2nd time here and whenever I visit NYC I make it a point to stop by.
The bakery is super cool 😎 it has this feeling of being outside of New york, and back in Lebanon 🇱🇧 the music they play just the whole thing for me it was amazing.
Your typical Beirut Furn in the heart of Manhattan. Loved it!
The biggest surprise was the Maamoul (all 3 flavors available: pistachio, walnut and date)
I absolutely love this place! The staff are wholesome and bubbly. They’re fun to converse with and learn about too! And the whole place feels lively and friendly.
I love the rustic aesthetic of the place along with the Lebanese and Arabic touches. The place also smells heavenly at times from the baking and Arabic coffee.
I tried their spinach fatayer and akawe cheese manaeesh and they both exceeded my expectations! The cheese manaeesh was oozing with gooey warm stretchy akawe cheese that warms your heart on chilly days! And the spinach fatayer was first, HUGE, and second, very savory and slightly tangy inside. Literally mouthwatering.
This is a lovely place with lovely people. And if you’re craving maneesh or feeling a bit homesick and nostalgic towards Levantine food, this place is perfect.
Must try visiting with friends, nibbling on manaeesh, and watching people walking on Bleecker street.
Super authentic and mega tasty. The zatar taste is still lingering in my taste buds. Grateful to try Manousheh today, the trip was totally worth it! 🔥😋🎉👏🏾
Found a Lebanese gem in NYC. I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic manouche place, and it instantly felt like a home away from home. The service was impeccable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in this cozy establishment. Their commitment to authenticity was evident, and the wide-ranging menu left me spoiled for choice.
I couldn't resist trying the zaatar, cheese pies, and spinach fatayar, and each bite was a mouthwatering revelation. To complement these delectable treats, I opted for a side of labne (yogurt) dip, which added a delightful creaminess to the meal. The pies, in particular, were a standout, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked.
Overall, my experience at this manouche place was nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a genuine taste of Middle Eastern cuisine served with exceptional hospitality, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to be back!
Falafel and kefta were very well done. Falafel was unusual in that it was a paste on the thin bread. Not the usual brown patty. It's very tasty regardless. The kofta was sparse, only 2 pieces in the sandwich. But it's very tasty. The spices, sauce, and choice of vegetables to go with the main if right on. Regular coffee was bland and cool, nothing to justify 3$.
No service, order inside. Folks were a bit quiet and aloof. Disinterested, tired, maybe. The meals were served 5 minutes, impressive. But the tray was dirty and old. Covered with paper but not good.
Seating outside in a wooden shack in the street, typical city thing. Benches were very uncomfortable. Seats are not much better. View is bad, traffic in the city, again typical. If there's a WC, no sign of it.
Prices are NYC sky high, 8$ for falafel, 13$ for kofta sandwich. But water and ice are free.
So, the food is good. But take it home. Not much to enjoy at the restaurant.
Super cute hole in the wall gem!! Staff know their menu well and has great suggestions. The menu is unique and flavorful. Small seating area but it’s nyc so not surprised.
I got the cocktail and loved it - super savory flatbread! Def going back, was amazing!
3.6.18 - pictures are from 2018, but the review is recent. We normally show up on their anniversary for personal reasons. If you like lebanese food, this spot will hit the spot, especially if you're looking for something close to a grab'n go. The staff is nice and the menu offers just what you need for something that's not over-processed and not overpriced.
Nice atmosphere, lively Lebanese music, friendly staff, fast service, and last but not least, great food. It did have some American influences, though. I would have liked if they skipped the beef and used only lamb. The pickles felt a bit out of place for my tastebuds. But all in all a great meal for a reasonable price. No wifi available.
This was the Manoushes I've had! I ordered meat & Ackawee cheese Manoushe, and they're both delicious.
Very good service and price is affordable compared to other baklava stores. Love how it’s not too sweet like other places. The worker was so nice and he gave me a baklava to taste for free. Wish I knew his name, would’ve mentioned it here
As a Lebanese man, I was astonished to find this little gem! I tasted many Lebanese restaurants around the world (paris, etc.) and they never were tasty like the real home Lebanese food. This one was different and even better than my country!!
A true authentic lebanese taste, I highly recommend the Lahm Bi Ajine (lamb meat in bread) and the hummus with vegetables
Great food, felt very authentic, so good we had to go back and get seconds of the cheese manousheh. The place could use a bit of a clean up but overall my family had a good time and a better meal
Amazing, authentic Lebanese food! The Chicken Musakkhan is out of this world and flavorful. The Ashta Clotted Cream was really good as well, not too sweet. Everything tasted like real Lebanese food. The food is also fresh, straight from the oven! Overall, I highly recommend.
The staff are really kind on top of that, which is always a good sign.
Love the food and the prices. Mohammed and Deja were very helpful
Great authentic homestyle lebanese-syrian food. Super set up with minimal \ essentials for menu...no misses in our groups' selections! We loved it, and ought to know - raised on this food!
Best to not include cucumber stem endcuts in salad tho ; ) !
And abit of updating tweaks would be great for mini waiting eating area
Wow. Lebanese food is SO good and all of the items here are top tier! The prices are also really fair and competitive for the New York scene.
To order, you scan the QR code on tables or go to their website and place a “pickup” order. They will then call your name and you can pick it up and go to their tables. Seating is LIMITED so don’t expect to easily find a seat.
Get the labneh (yogurt) because it’s amazing with pita. The pita is also super soft, fresh, and homemade.
Their zataar pita is super tangy, citrusy, and delicious. We also got the jibneh pita with akkawi cheese. This tastes exactly like a stuffed crust pizza crust from Pizza Hut and it’d delicious.
Lastly we got the kishek which is dried yogurt and tomato. Almost has a similar flavor profile to pizza!
And don’t forget to get their incredible olives, mint, and tomatoes. These come with the labneh platter and I highly recommend it for an acidic juxtaposition to the meal.
