Manakish Oven & Grill - San Jose (CA)

5 /5 Akshata Katkar: 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.

5 /5 Michael Ordaz: This place is the bomb. I got the chicken shwarma bowl and my partner got the cauliflower eggplant bowl. But the shwarna knocked it out the park. And they have a nice selection of carbonated beverages. But seriously try the shwarma bowl you will not be disappointed. I really enjoyed it for the price as well. Its made to order so you know its fresh. The place is clean and to top it off the kenafe was delicious to end the meal with. I have pictures.

5 /5 Roman S: 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!

5 /5 Sam Roza: 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!

5 /5 Natalie Garcia: Let me start off with FABULOUS! GIVE ME 14 OF THEM!!! This Mediterranean spot is definitely one to give a try. So much flavor, portion and presentation! It’s a 100/10 for me. Don’t let forget to mention the customer service was definitely top tier. I’ll be returning to try the wraps next then the flat breads lol. I got the Chicken Shawarma plate
