Amazingly delicious. Some of my favorite restaurants take a comfort food that's easy to eat and nostalgic growing up and put a unique, diverse spin on it that is not only daring, but not too adventurous that I feel comfortable taking all of my friends and family to go and try it and Manakeesh House is definitely going on that list. And that list is not only going to be my MUST visits in Anaheim, but some of my top food places in all of SoCal that I will be recommending to everyone in the future, it's just that good. I mean you can never go wrong with a delicious slice of pizza, and to put such a unique, cultural spin on it? Say no more. It's a decently sized restaurant with plenty of seating. Looks very high end and fancy on the inside and there was a good number of people on a Sunday evening, dining in and taking to go orders. Great to see diverse groups of people dining there too, from families and people of all ages and generations. You can tell this is a staple of the community. Staff was super friendly and outgoing. Adds to the lively vibe of the place on top of the music they were playing too. They call your name over the intercom if you're dining in. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Chicken Chipotle Specialty Manakeesh: -Delicious spin on a classic. -Comes with 2 side sauces. One being a chipotle mayo ranch type sauce and the other one being a spicy chili sauce that gives a sharp kick at the start, but doesn't give a lasting burn, so it's not too bad. -Super cheesy on the top and there's ingredients folded on the inside of the bread too, so you're getting double the cheese with the chicken as well. Chicken is moist and not too dry either. Doesn't have that super chicken-y taste and has a generous portion as well. 2) Za'atar, Cheese, Tomato Manakeesh Flatbread: -Generous amount of small dried cherry tomatoes, cheese, arugula, and za'tar all over their flatbread. -It's a light and healthy taste to a flatbread that I would usually associate with Italian flavors (the burst of sweet tomato, cheese, and arugula) with the herbs and spices of the za'tar especially with each bite of the sesame seeds made everything have nice toasted flavor on top of the earthy, citrusy, and savory blend. Great mix of flavors and textures (doughy bread, burst of juice from tomatoes, the cheese, the arugula, etc.) We got a bottle of yogurt beverage (strong yogurt taste and quite thick) and Hawa Soda Cola Zero Sugar (a "spicier" tasting Dr. Pepper like cola) imported from Palestine. Both dishes were delicious as the dough is baked fresh everyday. Delicious, carb. Nice chew to it that went great with all the flavors and wasn't dry at all. Loved the dough membrane inside too. This was around $40 for both of us and we had leftovers to take home. Definitely want to come back with more people to try more of their menu. Delicious! read more

Beautiful Palestinian restaurant that makes everything from scratch. They make pizzas in a wood fired oven and cook their meats over real charcoal for an authentic smokey char. I was so impressed with the service, the owner even remembered my name when I left. The parking lot has plenty of free parking. They even have free tea with fresh mint leaves. I will definitely be back with my friends and family. read more

Wow, absolutely loved this place. The instant you open the door delicious aromas waft into your nostrils followed by a friendly greeting from whom I assume is the owner. I ordered the Za'atar with cheese manakeesh and grabbed a diet Shasta from the fridge. After not that long of a wait my manakeesh was fresh out of the oven. This was bigger than most personal pizzas and smelled like pure heaven. Za'atar is one of my favorite herbal mixes and it was perfection with the cheese. I devoured the whole thing and was honestly sad it was gone. I should have ordered another for "my wife" and then devoured it in my car. It was that good! They have a huge variety of toppings from hot honey pepperoni to labneh with veggies. They also have dessert ones. Besides the pizzas they have what appears to be sandwiches on an interesting looking bread. There's also big family platters of whole chickens cooked with charcoal. Inside is spacious with plenty of seating. Parking lot is large but really full. I couldn't tell what other business was taking up the space but they had a security guard making sure people parking were only for specific business. I loved it and cannot wait to return! read more

Manakeesh House - Zatar Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Anaheim, California

I was looking for an interesting early dinner option, before a show at HOB Anaheim. Manakeesh had recently opened, and looked like it had definite possibility. My friend and I decided that we would share the mixed grill plate and a flatbread. We chose the fresh za'atar and cheese, from the many options available. The meats were delicious, and came with rice, salad, coleslaw, pickled cabbage, and Hummus, plus pita. We had a lot of the sides left to take home, but finished off the meat. I think my friend's favorite was the flatbread. It was delicious, like a garlic bread with fresh herbs. I really like Middle Eastern style cheese, because it's slightly saltier than regular mozzarella. I have to agree that it was delicious. We ordered at the counter, and the staff gave us time to decide which one we were going to get. There was a big cooler of drinks, and we both got a guava Jarritos. The interior is really beautiful, with interesting light fixtures and panels. There are beautiful plates, pictures, and mirrors decorating the walls of the bright, open dining room. I really enjoyed our dinner, and I'm hoping I'll be back soon to try more items from the menu! read more

Manakeesh House is a Palestinian restaurant that specializes in manakeesh (baked flat breads with various toppings), wraps, plates (kabobs/shrimp/beef/chicken) and custom chicken bowls. The restaurant is spacious and clean with plenty of indoor seating. Mix grill plate ($25) - Served with rice, salad, hummus, red cabbage, garlic, bread, chicken tawooq, kofte kebab, and filet mignon. All the meats were so tender and juicy and I enjoyed the pita bread which was freshly made in house with the rich and creamy hummus. Zaatar cheese ($9) - This is a classic manakeesh option with the nutty, tangy blend of zaatar spices and some gooey cheese. While it tasted great, I felt the manakeesh was a little thicker compared to other places I have had, but it was still good. Labna/honey/nuts ($10) - This was a great tasting dessert option, the labna having a creamy yogurt consistency and the sweetness of the honey pairing perfectly with it. Overall I really enjoyed the food here and the variety of options. The charcoal chicken looks like another good option to try and I'd like to check out their meat options for the manakeesh. There is a charge for water ($1.50). read more

Anaheim is the epicenter for a variety of Arabic delicacies. We found out about Kareems first, then Knafeh Cafe, and I am now adding Manakeesh House to that list. Hand rolled, stone baked flatbreads called Manakeesh. The lightest, fluffiest and perfectly chewy yet soft flatbread texture you can think of with as many ingredient options as Baskin Robbins has ice cream flavors. I got Labneh and Veggies while my wife got Cheese and Zatar. I am looking forward to trying some of the Halal meat options or a fully loaded Jerusalem Kaaka next time. They are bread masters and truly know what they are doing. Even a plain Jerusalem Kaaka tasted like the most amazing piece plain bread ever, even without anything in it. Just open texture, firm on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. Staff is warm and welcoming and the dining room is super clean and elegant. The prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend them. read more

Love the food here, WOW! SUPER DELICIOUS! The prices are definitely reasonable and the place was clean and new. As for drinks, just cans and bottles in a reach in cooler but I'm sure that's part of what helps keep the prices down along with plastic utensils and plates. The food is served family style on one big platter which we do like although the plastic plates could have been a little bigger. Very casual atmosphere and the music was a little loud but enjoyable. We'll definitely be back. The food is the thing! Thanks Manakeesh House! read more

I had gotten a tattoo and my artist recommend to check this place out! It was a five minute drive from the shop! This place was much bigger than expected and the staff were very lively and friendly. I picked up a hot honey pizza, some fries, and was recommended to try the cheese sambousek. I like that they called me over so I can see them drizzle the hot honey. They were generous with it! Everything was delicious and didn't take too long to prepare. The cheese sambousek reminded me of an eggroll which made me like it even more lol. They had some other items I'll return to try like their platters and flatbreads :) read more

First off, food was amazing. 10/10 It's really nice walking in there, it's a nice vibe with good lighting. I think they need metal utensils though. I feel like that almost took away from the meal. ALMOST. but the food is literally that good so I guess it's okay. read more

AMAZING manakesh!!!! Super super fresh. I was able to come in recently and tried the pizza manakesh, labneh with veggies, beef with tahini, and zatar and cheese. All of them were so good but the beef and tahini was my favorite. They also have charcoal chicken on their menu which I'm really excited to try because it looked delicious as well. The restaurant is really big so it's great for families and larger groups. The service is amazing and will likely continue to improve as they hire on more staff and move from soft opening to fully opened. In the mean time if you're in a rush I recommend ordering ahead so you don't encounter a long wait. read more

Manakeesh House is an absolute gem in Anaheim! The food is incredibly fresh, authentic, and full of flavor.

The manakeesh was baked perfectly with a crisp crust and delicious toppings, and the hospitality made the experience even better. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and the staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. Whether you're craving a quick bite or introducing someone to Middle Eastern cuisine, this is a place you'll want to come back to. Highly recommend! read more

This spot is amazing. Recently opened so came in to try them and was blown away. Instantly this spot is best Manakeesh in Anaheim. Love that if you want Manakeesh they have so many different options but if you feel like having fresh meat grilled on charcoal you can also order from a different part of the menu. I have not tried the rotisserie chicken but you can see it being made will update next time on this looks yummy. 10/10 from me. My favorite was the hot honey halal pepporoni pizza read more

OMG, the food was beyond delicious! My family and I ordered a little bit of everything, and every single dish was authentic, traditional Mediterranean cuisine. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, spacious, and had a welcoming atmosphere, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely going to be our go-to restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They offer a wide variety of dishes, so there's something for everyone. The owner, Khalid, was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel right at home. He's friendly, and genuinely cares about his customers. My mom is extremely picky when it comes to food, and even she loved every single dish we ordered, which says a lot! We were impressed with everything we tried. These photos are just a glimpse of the amazing food we enjoyed. We can't wait to come back! read more

Manakeesh House - Chicken Tawouq Plate - Pizza Near Me - Anaheim, California

The place is clean, large, and the service is friendly. I also see that their behind-the-register space is clean and uniform. They offer a large variety of food from pizza manakesh to chicken bowls with your choice of toppings, and their sandwiches and much more. I have only tried out their Tuna Jerusalem kaaka the other day and I enjoyed it. The kaaka was definitely big but I also felt that the portion of tuna was way too little for its size and did wish for it to be doubled or tripled in tuna portions. Overall though, I am looking forward to coming back in the future to try out their other menu items as I have only ate one out of their extensive menu and this was my first visit. read more

I knew in the depths of my soul this place was going to check every single box.. and damn they still blew me away The zaatar and cheese manakeesh is unworldly. Pillow soft dough, crisp exterior, zaatar so fresh n tasty it's unreal. Some of the best dough I've ever been blessed to have. I can only imagine how unreal the other options - i wish i had 7 stomachs to have order and eaten more. They added falafel to the menu the same day I walked in, had to order it. Crispy outside, amazingly soft interior, perfect flavor. One small nitpick, wish it was a bit more green inside :) Truly struggling to even find the right words to emphasize how delicious this spot is. I'm so excited for what's to come - and even more excited to try everything on that menu!!! You will be seeing me very often Manakeesh House just set the bar. Best you'll find in CA, hands down. read more
