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.
The food is tasty and flavorful. I got the lamb kebab plate.
The plate is $25 but I was charged $30.60 in total before any tips. I think I got overcharged.
However, the portions are good and I can save half and eat the leftovers and still be full.
Would have given 5 stars but:
Customer pricing should be accurate and transparent!
Overall: Recommend
My first experience was excellent. My daughter and I both got wraps-she chicken and me tri-tip. The wraps were delicious. I love the inclusion of California protein like Tri-tip in an ethnic food (I love lamb and beef, but this was too good to pass up).
I ordered the hummus as well, and the owner threw in a sample of the jalapeno hummus for free. Both are smooth, rich, and delicious as well. The pita are soft and fluffy, just like you like.
Will be back again!

Food is always great, delivery and pick up times are accurate! No complaints, will always be one of my first choices for food!
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!
