Manakeesh Cafe Bakery Grill

The lamb burger, hummus, and turkish coffee were so delicious. The mint lemonade was super sweet but refreshing. Service was fast and friendly.

As someone who grew up somewhere that did not have any middle Eastern food options, Manakeesh is an absolute treat. The food at this restaurant/cafe is my go to personal celebration and also a great low-key breakfast/brunch option for when I need a little treat on the weekend. The curry chicken is so unbelievably worth it for the flavor, sides, and bonus fresh oven warmed pita. For something lighter I chose a falafel option or the deliciously spiced lentil soup, as neither ever let me down. And in my opinion, the absolute best order here is the pistachio rose milkshake (if you like rose flavored desserts). It isn't too sweet and both pistachio and rose flavors come through for my favorite dessert in all of Philadelphia.

Great food and very casual atmosphere . i will say its a bit awkward to get your order shouted at you like a fast food restaurant but it appears more like a cafe

Amazing service and space with full halal menu. I loved the chicken shawarma.

Oh my gosh the baklava was the best....came here for desert and tea and loved it. We got an assortment of desserts and loved every single one of them. I can be picky about baklava but these were all great size, fresh, moist and just so flavorful. Service was great and quick. Could use some more seating and maybe make the cafe space a little more elevated compared to the grill side. But overall cool spot!
