Would definitely partake again if in the Lower East Side. A strip mall storefront, really big inside with plenty of seating when me and the missus were there at 7ish on a Friday night. Clean, really friendly and helpful staff. We got the three-mezze platter ($25), worried it might not be enough for two adults who were kinda hungry but not *hungry* hungry. Dear gentle reader, it was plenty enough. Three generous tubs, plus a similar sized tin of salad of cukes, tomatoes, whole olives and mint leaves. We didn't finish everything, though not for lack of trying. Really tasty, good value - definitely worth the try. read more

I've had Manousheh in the open-faced style before, but this was my first time trying it in a wrap. I'm not sure whether it works a lot less well in a wrap, or this place just didn't do it justice, but I was not a fan. It's just ridiculously dry. The amount of flatbread compared to the amount of toppings is crazy - the first several bites are nothing but the dough. The bread is at least grilled well but with no oil, there's no moisture or texture to it at all. On the inside, the hummus is all to one side, meaning that if you take a bite of the other side, you're back to the dryness problem. And then the lamb/beef, which I finally got to, is just one giant cylindrical roll thing. I was expecting like individual ground beef or lamb throughout, which would've been better - but it's this pestle-shaped creation instead that nestles inside the overall roll like a Russian nesting doll. Nothing worth noting about the other toppings as well. For around $15 pre-tax, it's just not a lot of food either. The size of the roll is pretty small. Overall, Lebanese food has so many flavors to offer, but this gives you none of them. 3.5/10 read more

This was recommended to me by a friend who shops regularly at the Trader Joe's across the street. I haven't had many chances to try Lebanese food and I stopped by here at an opportune time. - Sujuk, (4/5): soo flavorful and packed with veggies. my only complaint is it's a tad bit salty, but I think if paired with some yogurt or a squeeze of lemon it would round it out a bit more. if you buy 2 as well, it is also $1 cheaper (so share with a friend!) I bought some za'atar from here as well - they have a cute selection of spices and pickles as you're waiting for your food. I would definitely stop by here again for a grab and go! read more

Was seeing a show in the area so a friend suggested we go here. He'd been eyeing it for a while because he shops at the Trader Joe's around the corner. Let's just say we were happy we finally came in! Hummus on hummus and it was so good. I got the sausage sandwich which was amazing! My friend got the chicken and we got a whole big side of hummus on top of that. Apologies on not remembering the exact names. The menu is limited so you'll figure out what I'm referring to when you get there. But even though they have a limited menu was like a mini feast. We had some confusion because we thought we got a side of hummus, but it only comes with a tiny serving. We went back to order a larger portion and it came with the cucumber salad which paired so good with everything we had. It brought a freshness. This spot was quick to go with a good amount of space to sit inside. There was self serve water as well. read more

A great casual spot with delicious food! We got the jibneh (halloumi cheese melted on flatbread), a falafel wrap, and the knefeh. The jibneh was simple but so delicious and comforting. The flatbread was crispy and toasty - you could see them making it inside the restaurant which was fun to watch. As a big carb and cheese person, this was to die for. The knefeh was surprisingly good. It looked unassuming but it was super soft, sweet, and creamy. I only had a bite or two of the falafel since I didn't like the toppings it came with. Food came out fast and the restaurant felt pretty spacious. A solid 4/5! read more

I was a big fan of the location in the Village which has since closed, but luckily this location is thriving (and has a way bigger menu). Came for lunch with a friend on a weekday and there was no wait. We went with the Cocktail (half zataar and half jibneh) and Lahem bi ajine. Definitely recommend the cocktail so you can try more flavors. That one was the better of the two overall. Ashta soft serve was also perfect! Friendly service, too. read more

Great casual lunch option. The chicken musakkhan was really good, tender well-spiced chicken balanced by the thoum and veggies. I didn't like the kafta one as much, the kafta was too dense and a bit dry for me. The combo was a good deal, I was a fan of the avocado zaatar salad and the lemonade my friend got was perfect for a hot summer day. read more

We were heading to Trader Joe's on a rainy day to do some grocery shopping, but we hadn't eaten yet and didn't want to shop hungry, so we stopped into Manousheh Grand to check them out & now they are our new favorite eatery. We ordered a zaatar & jibneh manousheh which is like a flatbread - but tastes so much better than a flatbread - bc the dough is more delicate and becomes one with the toppings. Ahh, the toppings. The zaatar was such a perfect blend and you get your choice of cheeses, we chose akkawi, which had a briny wonderful flavor that went so well with the sesame seeds and thyme. For dessert, we got ashta, which is a clotted cream they make in house with orange blossom water and rosewater with honey and a maamoul/cahk cookie with a walnut filling and powdered sugar on top, which was my dad's favorite type of cookie and I almost cried when I took a bite into it, bc I was wishing I could bring him some to try. The ashta was my son's favorite and had such a delicious consistency. We can't wait to go back and try so many of their other savory and sweet treats. Oh, I forgot to mention, there was plenty of seating, the restaurant was very clean, and even though they had a steady stream of customers, they were on top of it, and everyone was super friendly. read more

Rainy weekend night and Manousheh saved the day with great takeout. The lentil soup was so fresh and so beautifully spiced. The sandwiches were delish and on the freshest bread out there. The roasted garlic potatoes were healthful yet decadent. Service was fast. Great for vegetarians. read more

The chicken musakkhan wrap was only okay because of the thoum. This place has a brown thoum, which usually results from when the garlic is not fresh, or has been improperly prepared. I've had lebanese food many times and never seen a thoum designed to be brown in my life. Recommendation to management: prepare the thoum like it is traditionally. It should be white, fluffy, and have the right notes of garlic. This one tastes like a poorly made garlic sauce. The wrap would have been phenomenal if it had good thoum, but that really brought it down. read more

One of my favorite spots in the area. Friendly, healthy, inexpensive, very full of flavor. A great spot for lunch - I come here regularly and it's a great place to read, work, eat. The avocado zataar salad and lahem bi ajine combo is wonderful. read more

Great value for money for food that is reminiscent of the Lebanese "street-food" I've grown up having from bakeries in Dubai. The pita/lavash bread is crispy and a perfect vehicle for the toppings of which we got Za'atar and Meat. The order comes straight out of a wood/coal fired oven and is a fresh, nourishing treat with fabulous Middle-Eastern aromas and flavors. Intrigued by my first time experience and can see myself returning to try more- like their Chicken Shawarma sort of wrap next. read more

The food and service are nearly unbeatable. The first time I tried Manousheh Grand, I came for happy hour and got a mini kishek manousheh and the fatayer in a 2-for-1 deal for just $3. They truly hit the spot--and even my toddler was a fan! The second time, I dragged my husband so I could try more dishes. We ordered two large manoushehs--the sujuk bi ajine, which has beef sausage, tomato, garlic, onion, and red wine, as well as cheese (they were nice enough to give me half akkawi and kashkawan). Both were incredibly delicious and substantial. They definitely do not skimp on the filling if you order the large ones. In addition, we got the ashta merry cream. This was so heavenly and had the perfect balance in the rosewater flavor. It was a fine finish to a wonderful meal. The service is so warm and kind. The manoushehs are made fresh to order, but are well worth the wait. The interior is also lovely with ample seating indoors and outdoors. Best to go with one or more people to try more items on the diverse menu. read more

If your willing to try sinething different and explore your taste buds then by all means come here! This was the first time I've ever tried Lebanese food in my life and I'm so happy I did. The food is just different in a good way. The interior of this place is very clean. It's the type of place where you walk in, order one thing, and spend a couple hours there lol. That's the vibe I got when I went inside. They also have outdoor dining. You order your food at the register and it's brought to you if your dining in. The people are nice and they're very helpful especially if your a first timer and don't know what to get. The food was DELICIOUS and I like that you can serve yourself water there. I ended up spending only about $14 after tax at this place. read more

I'm absolutely obsessed with Manousheh - you have to come here if you're a fan of Mediterranean flavors and looking for Lebanese food. The cocktail monousheh was delicious. Super filling especially paired with different dips. I got a side of the hummus, labneh, and muhammara. All 100% needed since it provided the Manousheh some moisture and added flavor. Don't skip out on the sides! They make the Manousheh. read more

Revised review now that they've been open a few months and worked out the kinks. This time I had the chicken musakkhan, sujuk (middle eastern sausage on flatbread), tabbouleh and knefeh for dessert. The sujuk and knefeh were amazing. The sujuk is finely diced sausage encased in fresh baked crispy flatbread with fresh tomatoes, onions and pickles. The perfect balance of bread and savory filling. The knefeh is a hard to describe-- warm creamy sweet savory dessert topped with a crumble. Maybe the chicken is just not for me, but the other dishes were superb. And the rose water soft serve is A+ -@as well. Once the pandemic is over this place is going to be swamped because the food it's just what this neighborhood needs. read more

Giving it an extra star because the staff was so nice. But I hated what I bought - chicken musakkhan. I was excited to have a Lebanese place in the neighborhood, and had heard such great things about the food - and bought this as I was looking for a substantial dinner. Plus, from the description, it sounded delicious. But I absolutely hated the taste of this dish. I don't know if what I was tasting was burnt garlic, or if it was a particular odd flavored spice that I did not recognize, but it was disgusting. Won't be going back - even though the workers were so lovely. Perhaps others will like the flavorings. But I was very disappointed. read more

The minute I tasted the zaatar manoushe, I felt like I was back in Beirut, on bliss street right by International College (IC) (my alma matter) sipping on pineapple bonjus and devouring that same manoushe. If this isn't an indication of how authentic this restaurant is, then I don't know what is. We made sure to have this restaurant on our NYC trip itinerary at least 3 times. If you really want to have breakfast or lunch like a TRUE Lebanese, then this is the right place for you. That being said, my family and I ended up trying each manoushe they offered and we'll do it again. No regrets. The labne is one of my other favorite mnekeesh that the restaurant offers. The authenticity of the Labne is mind blowing. Lebanese Labne is very hard to imitate because it has the perfect balance between sweet and sour, and if you add just 1% more sugar, it automatically turns into Turkish Labne. I wanted to buy a pint to take home with me on our last day but the employee told me that they don't sell that. Bummer, I'd even order online if I can. The kishik was perfect - onion tomato goodness. Every single manoushe we tried was basically better than the other, so I highly recommend you try them all - trust me, it's so worth it. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully with a bunch of items all around the restaurant to remind every Lebanese expat of their lucky childhood and share our beautiful culture with everyone else. There's even novels that describe every day life as a Lebanese and they're hilariously accurate. Lots of cute merch for sale also! Till next time! read more

Quiet, tucked away delish quick counter service spot tucked away. A "manousheh" is a really long wrap on pita bread. You pick the flavor that they spread across it - falafel in my case. Inside are pickled beats, various veggies, etc. make it a meal and get taboulleh and you'll be feeling light yet healthy in both your stomach and your wallet. The warm pita bread underpinning the dish is made fresh there in their brick oven. I'll be back. read more

I'm a fan of the West Village location but it's super cramped. This new location in the LES, down the block from Doughnut Plant and across from Target/Trader Joe's, is beautiful and spacious. There are outdoor picnic tables for social distancing as well. The manousheh is just as tasty as the original location - freshly baked, warm, fluffy and chewy. There are vegetarian, vegan and meat options so something for everything. The zaatar manousheh is for serious olive oil lovers and the hummus is silky and delicious. I also tried the ashta merry cream, aka booza soft serve, and it's incredible. The flavor is clotted cream with orange and rosewater, and topped with chopped salty pistachios and it tastes like the ice cream version of kanafeh, which is one of the best desserts ever. The texture is dense like custard and slightly stretchy like booza, but still light like regular soft serve. This is a great place to stop and get a flatbread for a quick snack or lunch. Definitely try that ashta merry cream if you're a ice cream/kanafeh fan. read more

This is great manousheh - I can see why they've expanded to multiple locations. The chicken sandwich's meat was pretty dry, and it wasn't quite saved by the awesome pickles, but I didn't go there for sandwiches, I went there for flatbread, and I got the 'cocktail' with akkari cheese so as to experience as many toppings as possible. Even though I didn't get to eat it until a good half hour after it was picked up, it was still hot and crispy and the cheese soft. They do not skimp on the za'atar, which is great - you never end up with a random bite of unadorned bread. Their avocado/olive/tomato/cucumber salad is HUGE - I think there was more than an entire avocado in there! read more

Finding Lebanese food in the US that's as good as back home has been extremely difficult, but Manousheh is by far the closest I've found. The mana'ish (plural of manousheh, the Arabic name of the flatbreads that the restaurant is named after) are the best I've had here - thin but not too thin, and the cheese and zaatar were high quality (a classic Lebanese manousheh combination called "cocktail.") The knefeh was good - I personally prefer cheese knefeh over the ashta (cream) version served here, but still decent. The vibe of the place really felt like Lebanon, and literally everything seems to be imported (from beer and olives to sweets and even the water) from there. Would highly highly recommend going, one of my favourite places on the city! read more
