Reviews for Manakish Oven & Grill in Walnut Creek, CA
Apparently, it's a Lebanese restaurant which is not so evident in Google search. Glad to have found this restaurant. Definitely... try their Pita bread. It was so soft and warm. The hummus was slightly on the sour side but went well with pita bread. We alsogot their pizza. The crust was perfectly baked. It was fresh, crispy and smelled great. The cheese on top of the pizza was notso great. But the herbs used in pizza compensated for it. They have a very nice outdoor place. Read more
We really enjoyed our food, everything was fresh and flavorful. My son had a wrap and it was fantastic, so was my chicken kabob... plate. Our favorite was the dessert, cheese kanafeh!!!! Read more
We tried Manakish for the first time and my girls were hoping to try out the flatbread as well as a few other things on the... menu. Unfortunately, they were out of flatbread along with several other menu items which certainly altered what we planned toorder. I don?t recall what the girls got but it wasn?t good. I got a falafel wrap and couldn?t finish even half. Very freshfood and well prepared but the flavors were terrible. On the other hand, the only other person in the restaurant seemed to likehis food fine. As a side note, the place is very messy with things scattered and stacked in various locations and there is aweird bar type thing that is used for storage instead of anything else. I gave it three stars because the food they did have wasfresh and the staff seemed friendly enough even though there was some obvious drama going on with a few employees. I?m 99% sureI won?t be back.

Very tasty food with great options! Took a bit for the order to come out, but got the falafel fetteh bowl, which came with a lot... of falafels, nice and crispy and a good amount of hummus and veggies. The manakish is essentially a medium sized pizza. If youget cheese, it really is a pizza! Ordered the cauliflower and eggplant which had terrific flavors. Beef swarma wrap was a largesize, which my friend said the meat was good but not super flavorful. Overall, great options for vegetarians and non vegetariansand I would come again and recommend.

Came here for dinner recently. While the food was excellent the service seems to have declined greatly. They were very... understaffed, with many people waiting for their doordash and pickup orders for over 20 minutes. To make matters worse theinside of this place is very disorganized. There is stuff everywhere, but ironically if you want a plate or ketchup it is behindthe counter where you can?t get it. I don?t know that I will come back after this..Not a lot of parking here either which isrough, so idk if it?s worth the trouble Read more

Really good food. Got the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef manakesh along with a lamb kebob on the side. Everything was... tasty. Venue was clean and nice ambiance. Lots of outdoor seating. Staff was friendly. I would definitely say that the placeis not inexpensive, as me and my wife with those three items and no drinks was over $40. If it was a few bucks less and wedidn't have to eat in to-go boxes, I'd rate this place a full five stars. Read more
A lot of food for a good price. My wife and I tried lunch here today. Loved it all. We shared bites begrudgingly and agreed that... both orders were great. First was a Tri-tip Shawarma bowl with rice. The flavor combinations with the pickled veggies, hummusand a cucumber tomato salad were sooo tasty. Second was the Chicken and Cheese Flatbread with garlic sauce, Onions andCilantro...just a mild but hearty deliciousness in each bite. Lastly, we had an original Kanafeh. Made with shredded pastrydough, sweet cheese, and topped with crushed pistachio, this was a crunchy, doughy, sweet, creamy dessert. There was a containerwith cardamom syrup with it, but was already sweet enough. I would recommend Manakish for lunch. Read more
