I never had middle eastern food before. I ordered the schnitzel bowl and it was fresh, light and delicious!

Such a wonderful find! It is very difficult to locate so do not get deterred. It's on the bottom of an office building in a weird tucked away non-descript spot. Once you're inside, you're transported to the most wonderful little hole in the wall. We were greeted by a stylish mom and a daughter. Everything we ordered was delicious and homemade. As a vegetarian, I was in heaven with a sampler plate. I love eating this way! Very very happy to have found this sweet spot. read more

We had lunch at one of our favorites today. It had been way too long since we visited. The Best Falafel I've ever very had and definitely get the Platter as it comes with almost all of their wonderful sides: hummus, grilled eggplant (nice char), hummus, tahini sauce, eggplant dip and Israeli Salad (cucumber, tomatoes, lemon juice and Olive Oil). We also tried the Chicken Schnitzel this visit. It was great quality chicken, crispy with a great breading to meat ratio. Great customer service as well as being family owned business. Everything is so fresh and delicious. It's a bit tucked away in the bottom of an office building but make sure you do find them and thank me later read more

The food they serve here is really good even tho I don't really know what it is. I got the falafel when I went and it was so buss and the people working there were really nice too. It has a cutsey inside area and then an outside patio almost except it's on the ground floor. Really cute environment. But overall very good!! read more

So delicious! Our favorite Mediterranean spot in town! I love their platters and their new renovations.

Stopped through to taste some authentic non-touristy food. When our uber dropped us off I wasn't sure but if you follow your nose under the parking deck in between the buildings you know a hidden gem when you see one. The lady in the kitchen was working endlessly serving all customers. Wasn't too crowded food is made to order but I called ahead as we were pushed for time. The taboulee humus babagounash were deliciously cold (perfect for the Florida weather especially when your just leaving the beach) and I ordered a chicken shawarma for my cousin who never had this type of cuisine. He enjoyed it and I think he may try it again. I will be back for a gyro one day. It was nice and cozy on the inside with plenty of seating and A/C. read more

Mana Mana has the best falafel in the area! Everything is so so delicious, but I especially love the falafel and schnitzel with hummus, pita, salads, etc. Don't forget the fries! Their hummus and tahini are the most authentic I've had around here. The new location is gorgeous, spacious and very comfortable. The food is made to order and comes out hot and fresh. Phenomenal service. If I could give more stars I would. read more

Mana Mana Middle Eastern Restaurant - Dining area - Mediterranean Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Delicious Israeli food. I had the large falafel platter. The best falafel I've ever eaten. Others had chicken platters. We all loved our meal. I will say the parking is a challenge. The garage with red awnings is a self pay. I didn't do well with it. I parked across from the garage.Park Mobile but I couldn't pull up the QR code. It was quite high up. Did not get a ticket. Also the Station Square gate on Cleveland was locked. There are spaces on Cleveland but you have to pay. Really Clearwater this does not help our local downtown businesses. Do try Manamana . You will love it Very pleasant server‼ read more

We loved our falafel platter/falafel pita! The service was quick and the restaurant was nice and clean. I want to just make a point that this restaurant is inside quite a large building so to find the entrance you must go inside the parking garage on the backside of the building. We had parked in the front and found it quite difficult to find their new location, back is best. Hope this helps! We'll be back when we're in the area. read more

wonderful, Car Wash fantastic people, modern equipment. i've been here several times and it's totally my go to place.

The food was outstanding and prices very reasonable!! It was the best chicken shawarma I've had anywhere in the world!!! And the owner and cook were very pleasant. But it was way too difficult to find the restaurant - it took us nearly 40 minutes to find it. read more

This place is a secret gem that's straying to not be so secret and that's all the better for anyone finding out about it! They know about gluten free, and any other allergen. Dairy free, vegetarian and so on!! The food is unbelievable! It's my favorite Middle Eastern place I've found here in Tampa Bay. The pickle bar is 10 out of 10! Try the falafel plate, if you get the chance, it's very well worth it! read more

The best Middle Eastern food I've had since visiting Israel! The owner Ami was incredibly attentive, kind, and informative. The falafel was exceptional - crispy on the outside and moist/soft on the inside. The pita was so fluffy and warm. The shawarma was juicy, flavorful, and delicious. I truly have zero complaints. Parking was weird since we had some trouble locating the restaurant to begin with. We parked on a side street and walked around until we found it. But once we found it.... WOWWW!!!! read more

Hidden gem. Everything is incredibly fresh and the flavors are delicious. Chicken shawarma and falafel wrap are my go to but everything is top notch. read more

They are tucked away behind an office building, but I had called and the ownership group stayed on the phone and guided me directly to their establishment! I had a pita with beef, along with fries. I will most certainly be a returning patron. The food and service were impeccable. Just added this place to my favorites. Thank you, Roni! (Hope I spelled that correctly) read more

I can't believe that I forgot to review Mana Mana !! It has been a little over year but I'll never forget that place!! Although I'm Egyptian but I don't die for Falafel and I was going to Mana Mana to get the Kebabs ! But oh no! I couldn't resist the Falafel smell! Yes!! Good Authentic Falafel actually usually have a good smell!! Fried pepper? Fried eggplants?? Chopped Israeli salad?? Wow! I couldn't resist all of that tried everything!! I usually don't repeat restaurants no matter what on my trips so I can get to try more ( Clearwater Beach is actually rich with good restaurants!!) But again Mana Mana broke my rules again and I found myself really wants to go again! And I enjoyed it with no regrets! Actually I regretted but only that I didn't go for a third, fourth, Fifth or everyday! Wait a min I only stayed there 3 nights! So yeah 2 times out of 3 days! That's big! I loved it! Ami the owner is a separate story! This very welcoming guy was so friendly and we quickly engaged in a beautiful conversation !! Our countries fought in the past ( 1967 & 1973) , signed a peace agreement in 1978 at Camp David , Egypt & Israel cooperates a lot on counter terrorism matters , although some radical groups don't like that but myself and many others look at Israel as the good neighbor , friend and ally ! I love Israel and the Israeli food has many common items with a unique taste! We also had a conversation about soccer! My 2 visits there was really wonderful! My strong recommendation: Stop by, buy your food and eat once at the restaurant, speak with Ami if he is available, try to sample everything on the menu! Also go another time and pick up your food and eat at the beach!! You will never regret, don't forget to vote if you like the food, review it yourself and tell us what you think about it and of course don't forget to pray for me! Lol read more

Great middle eastern food, most bad reviews are from Muslims thay harass this business over the war

I add my 5-stars to everybody else's. The shawarma is chicken instead of lamb, but I don't think I would have known if they hadn't told me. It tastes like yummy shawarma spices. Plus the eggplant and salads were delicious, especially the homemade hummus. The restaurant is very tiny with just a few tables, but lots of people order carry-out. And the platter was big. I ate it for 3 meals. read more

Mana Mana Middle Eastern Restaurant - Shawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

This is a small sandwich shop located in the basement of an office building in Clearwater on Laura Street There were no signs to find it so we walked around the office park for a few times, and then called the restaurant. The restaurant inside is pretty shabby, but the food was very good flavorful. We had the falafel, which is fresh and homemade. We also had the Shawarma little dry and crunchy. But the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. read more

I swear i write a review and then poof it's like it never happened. Deja vu? Are we in a simulation?!! For those who don't know this is probably the best Middle eastern spot in downtown Clearwater. The falafel are amazing , the shawarma, and lastly the owner Ami. He's a great guy and I enjoy our conversations whenever I'm dining in. The space is very clean and spacious . Easy 5 stars now get you some falafel and thank me later !!! read more

I am visiting from California and have eaten my fair share of falafels and BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THESE ARE THE BEST FALAFELS !!! Generous portions, deliciously cooked eggplant, freshly made hummus with herbs and spices-- everything has really good flavor. I am Greek and all of these flavors remind me of home so much. The Israeli salads have super fresh tomatoes and cucumbers so the flavor is on point ! I am lucky to have discovered this place "by accident" just walking around the area but it is kind of hidden and not easily seen from the street. IT IS WORTH IT to find this hidden gem of a restaurant ! Additionally I should also say that I AM VEGAN AND THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST VEGAN EATERY OPTION IN ALL OF CLEARWATER !!!!!! The falafel pita has freshly ground chickpea hummus falafels that are perfectly crispy on the outside and has a meaty tender texture inside (even tho no meat!), with roasted eggplant and tahini, tomatoes, cucumber, herbs and spices. The flavor is 10/10 more vegan options include sides of rice, Israeli salad, French fries and stuffed grape leaves! In two weeks I ate here at least 6 times it is that good. I could probably eat the falafel pita every day forever it's so good. Most other falafel places are mass produced and lose that "home cooked" taste enriched with flavor. This place is FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SMALL BUSINESS! The owner Ami has unfortunately experienced severe health crisis a few months ago and his entire family is helping cover the restaurant while he is in recovery. Check out this restaurant you don't want to miss it ! read more

Most awesome middle eastern food. The plates are generous, prices very reasonable and the taste is more than authentic. My falafel there was the best I've ever had, and I've been to Israel many times. Service was fast and friendly. It's a little hard to find, but oh so worth it! read more

Mana Mana sure knows what they're doing. Best falafel you'll find in Tampa Bay!! It's become my weekly stop.

Mazel Mazel! This is seriously excellent shawarma. And kebab. And falafel. And baba ganoush. And everything. Fresh 'n crisp veg accompanies superbly crisped chicken & lamb spit-fired meat and fluffy pita breads, as we sampled and Mmm Mmm'd our way through very large platters...for $15 bucks each. Such a deal. It's Middle Eastern heaven. Suuuper nice service too. Worth the 30+minute drive. read more

Mana Mana Middle Eastern Restaurant - Chicken plate with hummus, peppers, zucchini... - Mediterranean Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Excellent authentic and delicious. Not a fancy place, but well worth the visit. Don't be turned off by the out of the way location.

I did a search on Yelp for kebab places in Clearwater, and was thrilled when I found Mana Mana and their amazing (and well deserved) reviews! This is a VERY small restaurant on a corner with only street parking (bring a quarter), and minimal seating inside (see pics) - but the food will make it well worth the trip and dealing with downtown street parking! Their menu is small, but the perfect size for this size of restaurant - I like businesses that focus on a few things and execute them to perfection- and that is Mana Mana! My hubby and I both ordered the kebab platters to-go, and our meat was put into one box (so we didn't have so much to carry), so my photos of the meat are showing 2 orders (so you know what to expect. First of all, the portions here and the value for your dollar are unbelievable! I think I had 3 meals out of my one kebab platter with sides - seriously! Where else can you find that kind of value in Tampa Bay (and for such delicious food!). The kebab meat was amazing - delicious, full of flavor, seasoned and cooked to perfection! My mouth is watering just thinking of their kebabs! The sides included hummus, baba ghanoush, tahini, Israeli salad, grilled veggies and pita bread. I do wish they gave you more pita bread with the meal to eat with the meat and veggies or to dip, but for the value I have no problem paying for extra pita next time. See the photos - they give you a lot of sides. The owner was very nice and welcoming, as other reviewers have mentioned. He was kind enough to give us a falafel to try while we were waiting for our food (even though it was a short wait). It was clear that most of his customers are repeat customers and most likely "regulars" - and I can understand why. If I lived or worked nearby, I would quickly become a regular too. They were all happy to sing the praises of the food there (unprompted), and made us even more excited to dig in to our food! If you're in the downtown Clearwater area and enjoy Mediterranean food, stop by Mana Mana, you won't be disappointed! I'm trying to come up with an excuse to head out there soon so I can stop by there again! read more

Make sure to come early enough so they don't run out of food. They close at 8 pm Monday- Saturday ( closed on Sundays), but they might be out of some items before closings. We always order the falafel in pita. Super fresh, the portions are very generous and best falafel around. read more

Hands down one of my favorite places to eat. The owner does everything with the utmost care and service. I've never been to Israel but I would plan a trip after eating this style of food. We ordered the Shawarma Plate with falafel. He gave us some stuffed grape leaves also. Shawarma dish is chicken and lamb served with a fresh cucumber tomato salad, hummus, tahini, baba ganoush, and pita. Honestly it was all so good I don't know where to start. The falafel is the best I've ever had. Full of flavor and crispy. I could go on and on, but let's just get to the point. Go check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. read more

Dec-12th......Well...I couldn't stay away....our 4th visit to Mana Mana Middle Eastern food, with the Israeli taste, and I permanently order the Shawarma Platter! I wish I found out about them in the last 10 years, at their last location, on Park Street, sooner! This is a picture of the ''small'' Shawarma platter, and the Mrs. had the small Falafel platter! The small Falafel includes Israeli salad, 4 Falafels, Hummus, Babaganoush, Grilled Artichoke, Zucchini, Tahini, and a beautiful heated Pita Pocket! Her meal is $7.99, and mine is $10.99. The Shawarma is the best I have ever had, chicken and lamb cooked slowly on a vertical rotating Gyro like oven, with spices in a marinade!! Everything "Excellent", the Falafel's awesome, tasty, meaty, (vegan) the falafel was exceptional - crispy on the outside and moist/soft on the inside, NOT greasy at all, and NOT FRIED!! They are located on Cleveland Street in downtown Clearwater, at the rear of ''Station Square Park''!.... The best way is from Laura Street, behind, and park in the garage, at the entrance just to the right of the two Red awnings! I just came from there again today, and will be back very shortly! Address is 33 N. Garden Ave, 33755 .... read more

Have been wanting to try Mana Mana for a long time and finally did. The only middle eastern food I've had is falafel, so wasn't sure which to try. The owner kindly made us a combination plate, mostly shawarma with 2 kebabs and 2 falafel for both of us to try. Along with sides: baba ganoush, tomato/cucumber salad, hummus, tahini and pitas. Amazingly delicious! The kebabs were great and the shawarma was even better, tender yet with crispy bits. Being unfamiliar with the Clearwater center, I had a bit of trouble finding it (33 N Garden Ave); now that I know where it is, I will be back. read more

Always the best Mediterranean food I've ever had!! I normally hate falafels and theirs is the best!! They just moved to 33 N Garden Ave in a space that used to be called "The Breakroom" between some office buildings. They literally just reopened so it was a little difficult to find at first. But it's a great location and way more space than their previous location. Took a friend there for lunch today and still does not disappoint. read more
