Food leaves a lot to be desired. Tabouleh salad is meant to have a great lemon flavor which mine did not. The manoush are baked on fresh bread, and all the bread are delicious. The zaatar (thyme/sesame)& laham biajeen (meat) and Muhamara didn't taste great. Muhamara especially should have a slight crunch to it since it has walnuts in it. This was so puréed that it was almost like eating red pepper paste on bread, which isn't very desirable as it was mushy. The manoush gibneh (cheese) was the best one. My friend also ordered the hummus fatteh which I tried. It was very light and soupy rather than a thicker dip as it should be. Flavor was also light as a result. To be honest, growing up in a Lebanese household and visiting Lebanon & Beirut in the past, these flavors are not representative of Lebanese fare. This feels more Jordanian or mixed and isn't as pleasing with the flavors. Definitely consider another place for authentic Lebanese flavors. This ain't it. Read less

We had delicious manousheh here. Everything we had was fantastic, but I most enjoyed the jibneh. There’s plenty of seating and people are friendly. The prices are also great - less than $70 for a filling meal for four. All the meat is halal but the sujuk one is cooked in red wine (indicated on the menu). Read less

We were looking for a place to stop by for a quick lunch in Lower East Side and stumbled upon this gem! I got the chicken wrap + beef/lamb both of which were quite good! The meat was flavorful and tender. The portions were also quite generous. I would definitely come back to try more of their selection! Read less

The best!!! As someone that grew up around Lebanese food, this hits the spot. Service is great and atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend. Please come to the upper west side!!

We were heading to Trader Joe’s on a rainy day to do some grocery shopping, but we hadn’t eaten yet and didn’t want to shop hungry, so we stopped into Manousheh Grand to check them out & now they are our new favorite eatery. We ordered a zaatar & jibneh manousheh which is like a flatbread - but tastes so much better than a flatbread - bc the dough is more delicate and becomes one with the toppings. Ahh, the toppings. The zaatar was such a perfect blend and you get your choice of cheeses, we chose akkawi, which had a briny wonderful flavor that went so well with the sesame seeds and thyme. For dessert, we got ashta, which is a clotted cream they make in house with orange blossom water and rosewater with honey and a maamoul/cahk cookie with a walnut filling and powdered sugar on top, which was my dad’s favorite type of cookie and I almost cried when I took a bite into it, bc I was wishing I could bring him some to try. The ashta was my son’s favorite and had such a delicious consistency. We can’t wait to go back and try so many of their other savory and sweet treats. Oh, I forgot to mention, there was plenty of seating, the restaurant was very clean, and even though they had a steady stream of customers, they were on top of it, and everyone was super friendly.
