This is a great neighborhood place the food. The service is always great. We had a late lunch early dinner and as expected everything was top shelf recommend to give it a try. If you wanna try some good ethnic food Lebanese Mediterranean
I did a pickup order, but the interior looked really nice for dine in as well. It was pretty easy to place an order, but they do charge to use credit cards (which I did not see disclosed but meh). I did get a gyro platter - meat was nice. and it did come with 2 side options. The baba ghanouj was a really nice, big serving with a rich, roasted eggplant flavor. The roasted potatoes were fine, but nothing remarkable. Overall the meal was satisfying and was a lot of food. I did give in and have to try the heaven cake, as I had not heard of it before. The pistachio crust and phyllo edge reminded me a lot of baklava, but the whipped cream filling was very sweet and denser than I expected. It was a unique treat. Overall, the food was nice, and Manouche offers some interesting dishes for the area.
Growing up in Saudi Arabia, I ate a lot of Middle Eastern food, mostly Lebanese. Ever since moving to the US 15 years ago, I've been searching for a Lebanese restaurant that reminds me of the ones I used to go to back home. Finally, I've found it at Manouche. We went for lunch on a Sunday and got seated right away. We started with crispy falafels and tahini sauce. They were so good - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also had a sfeeha (not pictured), which is a minced beef, parsley, and onion pie. It came in four slices and was delicious. Next, we ordered the ouche dipper and chose labneh, zesty feta, and hummus. The zesty feta had just the right amount of spice, and if it got too spicy, the refreshing labneh balanced it out perfectly. The pitted olives were a nice touch too. For our main course, we all got the chicken shawarma, and it was amazing. The shawarma was long and slender, packed with marinated chicken, fries, Lebanese pickles, and just the right amount of toum. It really brought me back to my childhood. Manouche is now my go-to whenever I'm craving a taste of home. P.S. I went back three days later for takeout. Even though I live about 15 minutes away, the food traveled well. I got the falafels again, along with French fries, chicken shawarma, and the gyro platter. I seriously love Manouche for making such amazing food!
Wow, what a great little gem! I've heard this place was delicious so I was happy when I finally got the chance to go. My mom hosted a lunch for her friends & family today (16 people total), and the staff was nothing but accommodating, sweet and attentive! We never felt rushed and the food was AMAZING ... so fresh and flavorful! I cannot wait to go back! I want to try everything on the menu! I highly recommend :)
I went here for dinner with my family last night when visiting in the area. Let me tell you- this food is to die for. The appetizers and the mains were outstanding- everyone at the table was raving about it! I personally had chicken shawarma with fattoush and yellow rice. I will be dreaming about this meal it was so good. Everyone is super friendly there and the ambiance is very trendy and modern. I can't wait to go back!
Lovely cute place. Good place sit. Their menu is varied. Service was friendly. We loved the food. It was not greasy or heavy. But it was filling. Will go back
Wow! Manouche & Co did NOT disappoint! First off, their staff was wonderful, friendly and just top notch. We got 25 dolmades to bring to a family party and the price was very reasonable, and they even threw in a few extra for free. They were so fresh and delicious, made with quality ingredients and the perfect party food. I was offered the option of paying a little more to have them plated and not just in the tray, but opted for just the tray... they were beautifully presented and party ready anyway! Absolutely recommend this place! The manager even called to see what time I'd be picking them up to make sure they weren't out getting warm and stayed perfectly chilled. Again, wonderful food and service. I wish them much continued success!
Was randomly picking a place on yelp with the location for montclair, but for some reason this place showed up. I am really glad the algorithm was like you will like this place even tho you specifically said montclair. One platter and one app was more than enough for the both of us. The grape leaf was really good (a little salty for me but that preference). The meats on sticks were all very juicy, but the real stars were the rice and the eggplant dip. I just couldn't stop, which became a problem once the rice and pita decided it was time to expand
This was such a great find! A new restaurant that's currently a hole in the wall but expanding. The food and service are great. This was the best tabbouleh I've had in the area (and I've had a lot). Definitely great value because the portions are super substantial. Definitely recommend and I will be returning.
