Manousheh Grand

Got the $25 sampler, which was a decent amount of food, but could have used more than just one bread. Muhammara Manousheh was delicious. Hummus bland. Would go back to try some other stuff. Counter guy was helpful.

Does this look like a $25 mezze plater to you? This is the replacement menu item after I returned my “falafel” wrap TWICE because it didnt have any falafel. See the photos… do you see falafel?

All choices were great. It would have been tastier if the labneh wrap with veggies is toasted Inside the restaurant was too hot , AC wasn’t on

This was my first time here and I wasn't disappointed! Excellent food! Excellent service! The restaurant is so large. Plenty of tables, both inside and outside. They also have a small "grocery store" of Lebanese foods available for sale. Plus, they have knefeh everyday! I'm so excited to have found this excellent location to get incredible Lebanese food!

I tried Chicken Freekeh. It was tasty until I tasted Rice. The rice was a few days old. It was smelly. Also, Quantity does not match with prices. Overall Unhappy. Request to management: Please check your food before you serve.

Cute spot, had been wanting to try it for a while. I got the avocado wrap which was amazing 10/10. I’ll definitely be back for that. Knocking one star off because I didn’t love the tabbouleh (but the portion sizes are great) and they forgot my chai tea.

First time at this location (usually go to the one on Bleeker) and loved how spacious it is! Staff is friendly, food is great, and they have a nice assortment of pantry goods. The labneh is one of my favorites, and even better when you put some Sumac on top. The Fatayer is my go to, nice flavors and spices.

Came in for the lunch special, today's manousheh was kofta and it was so soft and flavorful! The flatbread was nice and fluffy, and the raw ingredients and hummus were high quality as well. Good food, great value, nice atmosphere, friendly staff; will definitely be back!

Came here not expecting anything. But surprisingly their food was not bad. Their dips and hummus come in a large soup container which is a great value. Their desserts aren't that bad. I would come back to try other things.

Manousheh on Grand Street is absolutely the best. All of the food is so good, especially with their sumac sauce. Everyone who works there is so warm and quickly remembered my name and face as a regular. I come here at least twice a week, sitting to do work and relax. I highly recommend!!

This place is just awesome! The food is amazing! Very tasty! Never disappoints every other time I come in. The Arabic music is definitely a big plus! (Love when they play the oldies ;-) ) The service is also very good. They are always very welcoming and answer questions about the menu whenever needed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was looking forward to a nice dinner for two with wine. The red wine I wanted had been open for a week, according to the guy behind the counter. I know wine and I know red wine cannot keep that long. I agreed to try a sip and it had turned, was oxidized and not drinkable. I asked if he could open a fresh bottle and his answer was "I don't feel obligated to open a bottle for you." We live in the neighborhood and would be regular customers but after this? P.S. the owner reached out to me to apologize and offered me something on the house. Look forward to trying them again as their menu is delicious and I love that they're a very casual place but do offer wine and beer.

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.

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!

The one thing I wanted to add is I wish they would get a POS terminal that let you add tip with a card! A lot of times I don't have cash and I feel bad

I love this place's vegetarian options. It's really affordable too. Will be coming back again (and check out the location in Soho as well). I also love the space - huge! Great for working offline too. The options are excellent! A flatbread wrap here is like a foot long subway sandwich

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!

Excellent Arabic iced coffee and the chicken musakkhan is ridiculously good. My favorite spot in this area. Very reasonable prices also. Just $3 a cold brew.

everything is super fresh and so flavorful. the hummus is so good don't even get me started. everyone is super nice and patient there as well. couldn't recommend enough.

Very nice space with good energy and air flow. Hospitable workers, delicious and fresh food, and a pretty solid Lebanese coffee. Definitely recommend this establishment!

Delicious Zaatar bread and Arabic coffee. My go to breakfast. Also try their mussakah sandwhich . So good!

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.

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.

It's a beautiful large space with tasty food options. If you come early, it's not too crowded and I got to work off my laptop for a bit. I ordered a tea and a dessert while waiting for my partner at his appointment. I wished I had tried other options but this just means I'll have to come back.

Tasty eats at this neighborhood joint. Very good freshly made eats. Authentic flavors and chefs. I tried the kofta this time along with pistachio cookie. Very good food. I'll be back for sure to try more.

We went to this location because we'd passed by it before and saw it had a lot of indoor space. That's the only positive. We ordered a zatar and a jibneh manousheh a musakhan sandwich, and 6 mamoul for $40. The manoushehs were bad. Offensively bad. The zatar had no zatar (just olive oil and sesame seeds) and the jibneh was in chunks/not melted but the bottom of the bread was burnt. Make that make sense. The musakhan sandwich was passable but nothing like the one from the Bleecker location. My family loves Manousheh because of the Bleecker location; do yourself a favor and do not come to this one on Grand. The food is just bad, and at the price it is offensive. I get that their target audience in that neighborhood are people who wouldn't know bad manousheh from the real thing, but this only tarnished the brand they've built up with their original spot. We will never come back here; it's Bleecker Manousheh or nothing.

The Kafta was amazing, and the flatbread was delicious. Quick friendly service and well priced.

Delicious authentic Lebanese street food in a beautiful setting. They even have Turkish coffee and hard to find Lebanese desserts. A true gem. Wish I could have tried the entire menu. So many great choices. Definitely coming back.

I'm Not Lebanese, but I came in here looking for something before work, the guy was very nice and helped me with breakfast selections, I got a wrap that had eggs, and Greek yogurt which was very delicious.

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.

Decided to try something different. Ordered an avocado zaatar (basically a veggie wrap)...heavenly. Friendly service. Food is fresh. Clean establishment. Would definitely eat there again.

I'm updating my review because of the care the owner showed in his response. I didn't know that the falafel wasn't fried, they should have mentioned that.

I live nearby and I've been meaning to try this spot for a while! The food was amazing! I shared the Arabic coffee, kafta and muhammara manousheh and the the halawa for dessert. Oh my gosh, everything was AMAZING. The kafta was so flavorful and well spiced, the Muhammara was so creamy and the halawa tasted new yet nostalgic. I recommend all of these and I cannot wait to try more! Just a head up, the food took a loooonnggg time, I suggest going at an off hour, like 2 or 3pm... I went at 1:30 on a Saturday and the food took 40 minutes. With that said I would wait another 40 minutes for the food, it was that good.

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!

Lovely neighborhood "diner" with great food, friendly staff, and people meeting and reading and working on laptops.

Found this place on a lunch break and figured they'd have some vegan options for me... feels like a new place and the young woman at the counter helped me navigate the menu and pick vegan things I'd like, and she was right. I didn't know what I ordered or that my soda was a malt style peach flavored thing bc I just grabbed it while paying - it was all fantastic. As soon as I started eating I was thinking about doing a YELP! Haha. I hope this place does a great business and grows throughout the city. Next time I'll add some stuff to the thing I got, tough to explain!?! And definitely will try some of their desserts (the vegan ones). Great experience, Thanks Manousheh

I tried this place and later on brought a friend there on a later date. Simply: Difficult for me to figure out how to order. When you go, you will understand. Food was very good. Lamb was delicious, chicken was good. The salad with delicious cherry tomatoes was always very good and I'm not a tomato-person. Must be the dressing. A larger selection of beers, sodas, ethnic drinks, and easier to pick which from groups would be welcome. I would not mix beers and sodas together, a bit difficult to see as it's low and best to visually separate. Overall, foods very good and reasonably priced. I just find ordering and the beverage layout needs some simplifying. I recommend this place.

Huge fan of Arabic food here, lived in the Middle East for years and ate many meals in Lebanon. This store is cuter and bigger than the West Village space. The shop is light and bright. I was happy to see some imported brands like alwadi being sold in the grocery area, there's some funny posters here and there on the walls which I loved as a decorative touch. Unfortunately all the good stuff stops here. We had a difficult time relaying our order to the female counterperson, maybe a relation to the owner, who seemed pissed off and genuinely uninterested in her job. Comically so. She was leaning over the counter like a sitcom character. There were several confirmations of the order. It went into the kitchen and they began firing up immediately. At that point I was still excited to get my meal. I ordered a large falafel. I've never had a falafel like this, maybe there are places that prepare it deconstructed in the fashion it is served here, not fried, but spread as a paste inside the bread. I assumed that maybe I've missed this version in my travels, but give me my damn fried balls drenched with tahini and hot sauce back! I wasn't even sure if it was raw or not. Waaaay to much cumin for my taste. The veggies seemed sad. The beets inside were cut in random sized pieces up to a 3/4" chunk and undercooked, I couldn't get my teeth I liked the side of the walnut purée (bright spot) but my side of tahini was nowhere to be found. My husband got the wrong meal so no review. Son ordered the chicken wrap and potato side, uncontroversial but nothing special. Potatoes were sad. I'm sad after I ate here.

Dropped in for a Lebanese soft drink, beer and hummus. Service and food was great. They got bench seating outside, and spacious layout inside.

Really good food. Lots of choices. A little pricey and some of the food had a little bit too much oil. Other than that everything was good and I would go back if I was in the area.

Came here for the first time and got a few things - the Chicken Musakkhan was amazing! The spinach fatayer, msabaha, maamoul were also the other things I got and were great as well. Overall everything had wonderful well-balanced spices and flavors. The staff are also very warm and friendly. Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu in the future!

I highly recommend Manousheh Grand -- picked up a falafel last evening for a quick, cheap dinner Now I happen to be a falafel snob having been spoiled by stupendous Israeli falafel. And while Manousheh's falafel was different (baked and mashed), it was surprisingly good and flavorful. I'm going to be trying their Avocado Zaatar wrap next. They also have nice and cheap happy hour drinks and dishes if you're in the mood for an early wine o'clock. It's a nice hang outside too. Great salad and snacks too!

This place is incredible. It was recommended to me by a coworker and it delivered in every way. The food is fresh and made to order, the bread is beautiful (!!!!) and the design and layout of the entire restaurant make everything warm, relaxed and polished. It's so affordable for the quality of food and the portions you get. The people are really sweet too. Will be coming back and trying everyyything!

Love this place! Been coming here regularly, food's also fresh and warm. The chicken wrap is my favorite - to die for. Right now there's no indoor dining so they set up tables and benches outside

New restaurant alert!!!! The area East of the Donut Plant on Grand Street finally has a healthy and reasonably priced option!!!! Finally. Most if not all of the items are wraps made with flatbread, unlike their original spot in Greenwich Village. PROS: -Vegetarian and Omnivore friendly wraps -Indoor and Outdoor seating -They serve booze and are also family friendly -They sell containers of Labaneh (marked kosher) They just finished their soft opening and will soon start delivery, ideal for these times. Support this local spot. With the two places across the street closing, this is now the only alternative to Saluggi's East on the block.

Place is great clean . Stuff is nice . I ordered a bowl . I really enjoyed. I will come back .

THE BEST in the land!! I had my birthday party dinner here. They don't take reservations but I called ahead (having your bday on a Monday night helps..) and saved the outdoor benches and tables. I'm telling you the food is beyond delicious and fresh and healthy and divine. Lebanese beer is pretty solid too :) Thanks Y'all! Go eat here and bring your friends. Good spot to introduce newbies to lebanese cuisine.

Riding my fixie, I return to restaurants which appear worthy. I was not disappointed. The hummus with the cucumbers and olives, the friendly staff, and it was clean. Delightful

I purchased what turned out to be the worst eggplant spread (mutabbal) that I've ever had. Totally whipped into smoothness with a food processor, it was over-processed and nothing like authentic Lebanese mutabbal. It came with a little cup of 'vegetables,' consisting of a few slices of mini cucumber, a few small green olives, a few slices of grape tomato. Very clean, antiseptic, cafeteria-style setting, except that there was a hair delivered with my food.

Worst service ever. Servers have no idea what's going on, misrepresenting wait times, ice cream machines are broken, nobody cares and wasted customer time is viewed with absolute indifference. Shame because the owners started a good business but the staffing is horrible. I understand with covid you have to hire the C-tier teams that are available but wow - how about C+ or B- at least.

Just came from having lunch at Manousheh-- very good. It has a modern & spacious interior , larger than I expected from the outside. I had the falafel wrap, my friend had a tabouli salad with hummus. It's ordering at the counter, a friendly staff brings the food over to the customer. I will definitely return as It is so conveniently located and the my wrap was delicious!

The ground beef flatbread is so good and flavorful. They offer a wide range of beverages, both indoor and outdoor dining now. I'll definitely come back for other dishes.
