    Chicken Shawarma fries,chicken,yogurt sauce, cheese. come get some Nominated Best Restaurant of Walnut Creek Chamber .

    My go to place to eat, love the food. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very professional and make you feel like family. Im a foodie the only place I eat for lunch.

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Keshneel K.

    First time dining at Manakish, and overall it was a good experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with half salad and half rice. The food was flavorful, and they were generous with the amount of meat served. Because of that, I felt they could have included a little more rice to balance the portion, but it's hard to complain about getting plenty of chicken. The service was good and the ordering process was simple. You place your order at the counter and then choose a seat either inside or outside while you wait for your food. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, making for an enjoyable dining experience. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other menu items in the future.

    Falafel Bowl
    Rita W.

    Inconsistent. Used to be pretty good, but lately our orders just seemed off. We were fans of their kefta kebab plates, chicken kebab plates for the kids, and chicken fries to share. Good news is the sides have been pretty consistent and have been tasty, notably their rice, hummus (yum!), and tomato cucumber salad. Their chicken kebabs have been a kids fave (just a lil dry for me), so yay for that. Their kefta kebabs usually come with 4 lil ones so it's a bit on the pricier end for their plates, but recently it's been globs of salty mess as if some binding ingredient(s) were forgotten or something. Not sure what happened, but the pita bread for the plate to go was covering the "kebabs" so unsure if it was intentional for them to hide that. Their version of fries have been a favorite within the fam, but recently, the chicken on has been so off that I had to spit it out, worrying that I'd def get food poisoning or something. It tasted so off. The fries and cheese on them were great though. Been to Manakish for takeout many times, but my recent experiences pushes me to find another spot for this type of food. They do have good variety here, including kebab salads, wraps, falafel, beverages, etc.

    Cheese and olive flatbread
    Melody K.

    Stopped here after seeing their pics and reading all their reviews. Lots of great choices. Decided on the flatbread with cheese and olives. As I went up to the counter, a young woman looked up from whatever she was reading. No greeting, no smile...nothing. Hmmm not a good start. When my flatbread arrived I was ready to dig in BUT I had NO napkins, cutlery and none were offered by the young woman. Hmmmm... is it me?? Flatbread was very tasty and was about the size of a medium pizza. It could have used some seasoning..salt maybe pepper...anything. Was that available? No. So, although my food was fairly good, the service or lack of, killed it. Will I be back? Probably not.

    Found this spot on inKind so decided to stop by for dinner. I was excited to give this place a try since I really enjoy Mediterranean food. They are located on the corner of N Main St and Treat Blvd in a busy intersection. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, so we decided to sit outside to enjoy the warm weather. We wanted to try their flatbreads so ordered the Zaatar & Whipped Kefir Manakish and didn't like the hard texture of the flatbread. The whipped kefir did not help with making then dish more flavorful and also didn't like the Kalamata olives. The fries could have been crispier. The falafels in the bowl were super hard. I think it's one of the worse falafels I've ever had. Very disappointed with the quality of the dishes and felt like they should have nailed it given that they are a Mediterranean restaurant. I did enjoy the ambiance and feel like it's a great place to hang out, especially when it's nice out.

    Tried the chicken kebab plate (comes with generous amount of hummus, some rice, a salad and a few slices of pita). It appears to be a big portion but it's really the container (take out) that is the illusion. Also tried their mint lemonade (very delish, fresh made). The pita is handmade and the food is filing and feels like a farm to table vibe. I appreciated the large portion of hummus, wish I had more pita and chicken kebab (it's only 1 kebab). Plates come with a garlic sauce and their own hot sauce. Service was very welcoming, engaging in small talk and overall added to the ambiance of this restaurant. It is a little on the pricey side for what you're getting. 2 kebab plates and 2 mint lemonades was $80.

    Raw and Cold fries. Cold hummus. Had to go inside because the lady forgot the bus. Not worth the $61 we paid. Never coming back.

    Lahm-bajin Manakish & hot tea
    Michelle P.

    Food was amazing! I got the Lahm-bajin, a hot tea, and mint lemonade. The flavors were wonderful and the service was fast!

    Manakish Oven & Grill is a Middle Eastern eatery located on the northwest corner of Main St and Treat Blvd, next to Habit Burger & Grill. My buddy and fellow Elite David A. was selected to participate in the 2025 Badge Bash event here, and he invited me to tag along. We came here on 01/27/2025 at 4:30pm. Upon entering, we were greeted by Niya the owner. She was very friendly and welcoming. The interior was clean and well-maintained. David told her he was part of the YEE and she immediately checked him in. For the YEE, David was comped with a starter (Beef Shawarma Fries), an entrée (Lamb Kebab Plate), a bottle of freshly squeezed lemonade, and baklava. He also purchased a Chicken Shawarma Bowl and another bottle of lemonade for me. The food was ready in about 15 minutes, and Niya brought it to us. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. Just the comped part of the meal was more than enough for two people. The quality of the food was excellent. The pieces of lamb kebab were nicely charred, tender, and flavorful. Brisket was used for the Beef Shawarma Fries and it was tasty and moist. We also enjoyed the lemonade and bakalva. Overall, the entire experience was a great one! Niya treated us like valued guests, and the food was pridefully prepped and delicious. David and I had already talked about coming back here again, and we will be back. 5 stars.

    Door dashed a plain zatair manakish and it was delivered fresh, hot, snd just right. The tomato cucumber, and olives on top were a nice touch. Definitely would order again and eventually dine in to meet everyone at this establishment.

    Came to Manakish in Walnut Creek because I love Lebanese food and especially manakish, so I was excited to try it. We ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, a tri-tip manakish, a fattoush salad, and a chicken kebab plate. It took over 30 minutes for the food to come out, which was a bit of a wait. There was also a mix-up with the order, they made a chicken shawarma manakish instead of the wrap, but it wasn't a big deal and I still ate it. The flatbread itself was okay, nothing particularly special. The fattoush salad was missing pomegranate molasses, which I feel is a key ingredient, so I ended up adding some I had at home. The chicken kebab plate was definitely the standout. The chicken was cooked really well, flavorful, and the best part of the meal. The ambience outside was cute and made it a nice spot to sit and eat despite the wait.

    OMG. Soooo good. Get the Zaatar & Cheese Manakish. I love that they have Tri Tip shawarma and manakish as well. This location is very casual but the food is still prepared as though it was a fancy super expensive dinner out! They have great omelets. I love the Shawarma fries as well which also come with Tri tip. This place is a gem!

    Flat bread the way it should be

    See all
