Manakish Oven & Grill

Rexety a month ago

Another gem of a place for Falafel Wraps and flavorful mediterranean flatbread pizzas that are called the manakish. We ordered the Zaatar & olive Manakish and it was just bursting with flavors. I have never tasted this type of flatbread in any other mediterranean restaurant in the bay. The fresh strawberry juice was also very good. Their baklava is also a must try. We went there a little late for dinner so some menu items were unavailable, but still ample options for vegetarians to choose from. The staff was friendly and our food came quickly. There is ample seating inside and outside!! Overall a good place to eat great food!!

Manakish is a standout for Middle Eastern cuisine, anchored by what is arguably the best pita I’ve ever had—absolutely phenomenal, soft, and incredibly fresh. This bread is the perfect vessel for their tasty baba ghanoush, which pairs beautifully with it. The harissa cheese fries are another must-try, featuring thick, crispy fries seasoned with a bold spice blend and plenty of melted cheese. Even the owner adds to the charm, providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere that makes the meal feel personal. ​The falafel bowl is a solid, hearty option, generous with its hummus, rice, and pickled veggies. While the falafels themselves were good, they could have been a touch softer to match the perfection of the other components. For dessert, the baklava offered a simple and tasty finish; though it was more on the ordinary side, it hit the spot. Overall, with top-tier service and world-class bread, this spot is a gem for anyone seeking authentic flavors.

Manakish in downtown San Jose started twith a bang. Their fresh-squeezed orange juice was the sweetest and yummiest! The restaurant is spacious, clean and offers a nice atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Plus, the convenience of a small parking lot is a major win due to limited street parking. However, the meats on both my kebab plates were a little tough and overcooked. Additionally, a wrap was missing from my to-go order which I only discovered after I got home. I heard this spot is the South Bay expansion of a well-loved original location in Walnut Creek.

This hidden gem sits in a quiet area, but it stands out beautifully at night with its bright, welcoming atmosphere. The interior is spotless and thoughtfully maintained, creating a comfortable dining experience. We tried several appetizers and a flatbread—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We stumbled upon this place by chance, but we absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back!

Tried Manakish Oven & Grill in San Jose and absolutely loved it! Everything is made fresh from scratch — no preservatives and nothing frozen, which you can really taste. We ordered the jalapeño hummus with fresh pita (so good!), chicken shawarma bowl, veggie supreme manakish, zaatar & cheese manakish, kefta kebab plate, and a falafel wrap with fries — every dish was flavorful, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. For drinks, the fresh strawberry juice and mint lemonade were super refreshing, and the cheese kanafeh was the perfect way to end the meal. The staff was welcoming, the food came out fresh, and it’s a great spot whether you’re dining in or grabbing food near the airport. They also offer catering, which is a plus.
