Al Manjal Turkish Restaurant was an amazing experience! The portions were incredibly generous and absolutely worth the price. Every dish we ordered was truly delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. The food reminded us of our time in Türkiye--it felt like a little trip back there with every bite. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and very welcoming, creating a comfortable atmosphere for dining. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Turkish cuisine with huge portions and outstanding taste, Al Manjal is definitely a place to visit. We will absolutely be coming back! read more

Since my last review, the restaurant has changed chefs and menus. This review was right before Ramadan, and was the standard menu. For anyone who was familiar with Castle, this is the same chef and menus. To keep the review simple, most the food was tasty. My particular highlight had to have been the muhammara and tawook. The prices are a bit steep, which is where I personally lose a point. read more

The service was lacking at this spot. Maybe the server was new? But we were the only table sitting for a late lunch. It's a huge restaurant. Great for larger groups and plenty of parking. On to the food. We had the fatoush salad which was quite good. The hummus was creamy and smooth. You can tell they shelled the chickpeas. I prefer this version so much more than the chunky kind. The falafel was also delish. They weren't dry at all, which doesn't seem hard to do but it was so much better here. The zaatar with cheese manakeesh was delicious. And we got the family size grill. I don't usually like chicken kabab but these cubes were so good and you can taste the grill flavor. The ground beef kabob was also equally good. But they burned my favorite, the lamb cubes. Very sad. All in all I'd say pretty good food. Can they add kibbeh to the menu? That would be fab. read more

First time trying this place under the new management. Ordered döner kebab sandwich. It was very good. Then tried their baklava, very good as well. Service was also very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try other food. read more

Where do I start? I discovered this hidden gem when I went to Essential Nails for my mani/pedi. While sitting in the chair, the heavenly aroma of spices and charred meat convinced me to place a to-go order. It quickly became the norm when getting my nails done. Tonight, we decided to eat inside the restaurant. The staff was warm and friendly. We saw these beautiful dishes on other diners' tables and wanted to try them. They did not disappoint! We ended up going with a family style dinner that came with three appetizers, kabobs, rice, grilled vegetables and the fresh baked Turkish pita. They brought us some perfectly brewed Turkish tea, the best pistachio baklava and Turkish ice cream. We will definitely come back! Please support local restaurants read more

I had an excellent experience at Al Manjal Restaurant! I ordered a pizza and it honestly surprised me in the best way. The crust was perfectly baked -- crispy on the outside but still soft inside -- and the toppings were fresh and full of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted homemade, not rushed or frozen. The restaurant itself is very clean, welcoming, and comfortable, with friendly staff who make you feel appreciated as a customer. Service was quick, and my food came out hot and fresh. If you're looking for great pizza, delicious food, and a local restaurant with good service, Al Manjal is definitely worth visiting. I'll be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food, impeccable service, and outstanding cleanliness. The prices are very reasonable--especially considering the generous portion sizes; the orders are truly substantial. From the very first time I dined there, I realized that this was exactly what I had been searching for after trying numerous other restaurants. This is the authentic Arab cuisine I grew up with back home, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to feel as though they are dining in the Arab world. read more

Food was soooo delicious! we did wait a little for the food but only because they make it all fresh and had just got a new grill- so worth the wait. We also got complimentary tea to end the meal since this place is family served and traditional! So pretty inside and an adorable kid opened the door to let us in read more

In our family, the birthday person gets to choose the restaurant, so this year I dragged my wife and kids to Little Arabia for Palestinian food. Why??? Because recently I have been diving deeper and deeper into Palestinian history (1890's to Present). Long story short, with all my heart I stand on the side of Palestine, and I stand for the just struggle of the entire people against this horrible genocide that Israel has been executing upon the land/people since the Naqba (1948).... And I say this sincerely, as an American Christian who sees the true evil in Zionism. I'm sorry I got carried away. Back to my birthday experience at Al Manjal. It was amazing! The restaurant is very bright, clean, and welcoming. The staff was even more amazing. We got to meet our waitress, who was from Egypt and I believe her name was Salma. She was so wonderful and friendly. Then we met our chef for the night who manned the stone oven. He was from Palestine(Nablus). I'm sorry but I forgot to get his name. Finally, we had a chance to meet the kind owner named Hani, who is also from Palestine (Jerusalem). He brought out a special Manakeesh, on the house, that he said my kids would love. We all gobbled it up! The owner and staff made my birthday really special. The food was amazing. We ordered hummus, Chicken Tawook, the Al Manjal salad, french fries (for my 10-year old daughter who is a fry addict), beef Kufta, and two kinds of Manakeesh. The hummus was the best I've ever had and the Chicken Tawook was some of the juiciest and most savory chicken too. Can you believe I was so excited to eat the food that I forgot to take pictures of the dishes that came out???? I still think about how creamy and delicious the hummus was.... I will definitely be returning to this place to try the other delicious items I saw on the menu! شكرًا لك "Thank you!" May God continue to bless this restaurant and the staff, and may God bring justice and liberation to the beautiful land and people of Palestine! read more

I had an extremely unprofessional experience with the owners of this restaurant. Upon arriving, we ordered as normal. I ordered the lahmacun, however I didn't enjoy it because they used more butter than I was used to. While at the restaurant, I did inform the people working there of the use of too much butter. Paid, and went on my way. Later that day I get a phone call complaining that I posted a one star review and to remove it. The owners state they are a small family owned business and this can hurt them. However, I did not post this review and informed them of this, but they did not believe me. They offered to return our money, so we just went back. When we went back to clarify a few things and upon arriving, the owners daughters because hostile and threatened to call the cops on us for looking at them, something people do when speaking to one another, while they were belittling us for something we did not do. Please at all cost do not have an opinion of a restaurant if you don't enjoy the food. God forbid you have an opinion. Overall would not come back. As business owners, you should not treat paying customers this way. Also, understand not everyone will enjoy your food. I did not make the review you persisted that I did, BUT NOW I DID. Please do NOT support this restaurant. Unprofessional and lack of accountability. Let this serve as a documentation that THIS IS MY REVIEW. read more

They never open at 9 am and they never pick up the phone calls for any order as far as the food is good.

We tried the lamb and tongue sandwich, and while it wasn't cooked with a lot of spice, it was fresh and tasted great. It took a bit longer than we expected to prepare, but it was worth the wait. We'll definitely try it again soon The space was also super clean and staff were friendly :) read more
