    This place feels homey. I am so glad I stopped in. Compared to the one in IL it is actually much bigger which was a pleasant surprise. You order at the counter and pick a place to sit. Me and my mom ordered multiple manakeeesh to go that I haven't been able to try yet. But what we did eat in person was absolutely delicious. I had a mixed meat Manakeesh sandwich - it was a large generous portion for the price and came out quickly. My mom got the Jerusalem kaak with turkey and cheese and she loved it. You could tell the bread was fresh with both sandwiches. We are Palestinian and my mom said it tasted just like home. There's a huge variety on the menu so I think itd be very hard not to find at least one thing you like. My favorite part was the art. I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone to try.

    I'm a fan of the beef with tahina one, though they sell an overwhelming number of types. As usual, the manakeesh was on point. The staff are very friendly and attentive too.

    Margherita pizza

    My friend and I both spotted this restaurant and decided to stop by one evening after a workout. It's been open a while so the hype seemed to have died down. It wasn't busy but customers were coming in and out. They took over Mod pizza (RIP) and the space looks basically the same. You order at the counter on the side instead of going up to the area where you see ingredients. A bit disorienting at first. Since my friend is vegetarian we chose things to share that she could eat: Margherita pizza, labneh and arugula pizza, and the vegetables and cheese on a Jerusalem bagel. Everything is well presented and tastes fresh. The bagel was the best thing! A nice crunch from the sesame seeds and a nice airy texture from the bread. Really good! Didn't take long to get the food. And if you need to take leftovers home, they have boxes by the condiment counter. I'll be back!

    It's nice to experience a different kind of pizza- A middle eastern version and they have sweet or salty kind. I went with the classic- cheese, tomatoes and pesto. The dough is different from normal pizza dough and doesnt really have a crust. Its soft and thin,but not crispy, taste like a flatbread. And their akkawi cheese taste similar to mozzarella. You can also see them baking it fresh. Go try out their other specialties too.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite before going next door to Qamaria. The staff were friendly and helped answer any questions I had about the menu. There's lots of seating inside and the tables were clean. I ordered the turkey and cheese bagel after seeing a couple of other reviews recommending it and I must say it lived up to the hype! It was huge and definitely worth it for only 12.99. The sesame seeds amplified the flavor of the bread and added a delicate crunch.

    Sfeha with tomatoes

    Service was fast! The space was clean, bright, and well decorated. The staff were quiet, focused, and kind. Food was phenomenal! Super fresh, and very delicious. We got the mixed cheese & veggie Jerusalem bagel; which was basically a love child of a veggie supreme pizza, and the most amazing pillowy bagel I have ever had!! We had the labneh with za'atar: a delicious wood fired flatbread base spread with Za'atar Labneh and finished with an arugula salad. This was a great fresh dish to balance the heavier bagel. Finally we also got the Sfeha with tomato. Rich delicious ground meat on a wood fired flat bread, but surprisingly and delightfully light! We loved this even more when we added chili flakes on top! Finished with an assortment of baklava and left with very happy bellies:)

    "Great experience! The wait time was much shorter than other places, and everything was very clean. The service was friendly and welcoming. The food is amazing--it's definitely become one of my favorite places to eat. I love the vibe here, and I'll definitely be coming back again!"

    Added chicken to the cheese pizza

    This has got to be my absolute favorite pizza place of all time. The employees are always super helpful and nice. The food is an easy 10/10. My favorite is the margherita pizza, I get it every single time!

    Labneh and vegetables
    Brinda S.

    Yall! A couple weeks ago I tagged along to Qamaria for a business coffee, saw this place moving in and setting up in a former Mod pizza space and was instantly curious! Then today an ad popped up on my socials, so I had to convince the family that we were having a Palestinian dinner. (It didn't take much, honestly.) We ordered the labneh and vegetables, the pepperoni, and the meat and eggs. My goodness was everything delicious! My pepperoni aficionado teen ate every bite except for the one piece I took a bite out of . She did say she'd ask for lighter cheese next time, because it's very generous. (The bread/crust sold her.) The meat and eggs--I could instantly smell the cinnamon in the meat and wanted a nibble or two. I don't even like eggs that are not over medium, but I'd eat these all day. The yolk was punctured at just the right moment that the yolk wasn't chalky or dry. (That's my husband's description.) My labneh and veggies was just pure and simple goodness. The bread was cooled a bit before adding the labneh so it wasn't runny or uneven in temperature. The place was BUSY but well staffed and the counter service ordering and pick up didn't take too long. And honestly, given the price of dinner we pay for other quick service/fast food places, this place is definitely going into a regular rotation. Excellent quality, delicious food.

    I had already ate half !

    I ordered the Turkey Cheese bagel and all I have to saw is wow ! Everything tasted fresh and I love the amount of cheese they put. Prices are also very reasonable- one order of this bagel easily fed two people ! Give it try and you will NOT be disappointed!

    I will say, their ordering process can be a bit confusing mainly due to language barriers and also, it's not like when this was MOD, you simply picked what toppings you wanted right at the counter to build your own. But other than that, the food is very good, and at least they're very transparent with allergens.

    Akkawi cheese is with zaatar

    Al Manakeesh Pizza Place was amazing! The pizza was fresh, tasty, and the crust was perfect. Great service and vibes--I'll definitely be back!

A few people dining in, but it was past the lunch rush. It's a small place. A few large picnic style tables and some seating by the open windows and order counter. I ordered the Roger Roger and two chocolate chip cookies. They didn't have the cookies sitting by the register but they had just made a fresh batch. Sandwiches are made to order of course. The Roger Roger had: capicola, pepperoni, smoked cheddar, lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard, giardiniera. It wasn't heavy (I ate half) and the bread wasn't that dense. In fact, the bread kinda sold me on the sandwich. It tasted fresh...much better than what you get at any of the usual chains. And the cookies were absolute perfection! Crunchy on the outside but soft inside. Wow! And they're kinda large. I ate half of one and saved the rest. I don't eat sandwiches often but this has got to be one of my favorites in the city. I'll be back!

One single set of shelving down the middle of the store with foods on one side and wine on the other.

Please believe me when I say be prepared to just look past all that chaos to see the beauty in it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Yes they do offer suggestions, answer your questions and carry your purchases to your car for you. Who does that nowadays?!? I read a review saying not to skip out on the rosemary sea salt bread so I didn't. I mean the smells and it looked like perfection on the tray so how could I resist!? So glad I didn't. It was warm, soft, flavorful and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I would return for the fresh baked bread alone. We were given samples and we made our selections, paid and had our goodies carried out to the car for us. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We ended up with a couple varieties of olives, a couple of meatballs and the bread. All fabulous. If you're anywhere near this area and you need some mouthwateringly good food do stop in.

Instead of being patient and respectful, one employee (a red-haired black woman) was murmuring negative comments about him under her breath while he was still there. I could clearly hear what she was saying, and it was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. After we ordered and sat down to eat, she continued speaking negatively the entire time. The customer service was rude from start to finish, and the overall atmosphere was uncomfortable because of her behavior. I've been to many Jersey Mike's locations and have always had friendly experiences, which made this visit even more disappointing. Treating customers--especially an elderly customer--with that level of disrespect is completely unacceptable.
