    Cars who feel privileged to block what could've been a great picture of this establishment...
    Hashim T.

    My Reviews/Ratings are fair and non-bias. STAFF- Fair & Friendly, they take care of the regulars. I don't live around this area, but I make a great along with my family for these pies. PRICES- Compared to all the bakery's around this community, they seem to have fair prices, for it's quantity & quality. This bakery has been around for a while, they built a great relationship with their community & the prices haven't scared anyone away. This is a successful establishment. FOOD- Because of the long distant commute I make, I always get 4-5 pies of each; meat, cheese, spinach, chicken, zatar, etc... You have to get there early to catch the fresh batch! Overall, they do not disappoint and continue to maintain their quality in baking these delicious pies.

    If you need any bread or bakery items, this is the place. They have all the meat, spinach, cheese, and other pies you can think of.

    Probably one of the best in the area. We traveled about an hour twice to get some of their creations. Bread, mana2ish (cheese is the best) and many others... It is very traditional so get ready to eat without looking :) if you cannot eat food that was done with bare hands, this place is not for you.

    Burned coconut cake

    Horrible customer service, they sold me burt coconut cake and tried covering it up with katar. It's during the Holy month of Ramadan and their cheating their customers. I called to complain and the man on the phone pretty much said its my fault for not inspecting the sweets prior to me buying it. Why would I think my Muslim brother is going to cheat me?

    One of the best bakeries. It's always busy, so you know the turn over is fresh. Great spinach pies. Get some ma'amoul while you're there.

    This is our first of many adventures to eat in Little Palestine. I had this place on my list for…read moreawhile. We came on a Saturday night around 7 pm and we were able to find parking immediately. To be clear, the parking area is kind of tight and cramped. If you can't find parking here, you can try seeing if parking is available in the neighborhood or next door. Inside Al Manakeesh, they have a plentiful amount of tables. You order at the front, receive a pager, and wait for your food. They have additional drinks in the back. They are known for making Middle Eastern flatbread pizzas and kaaks (bagel). Customer service was great. They were very efficient at making the food and drinks. Everyone was nice. No one was pushy when we ordered our items. Prices were good, they were inexpensive. We ordered egg/meat/cheese, pepperoni, mixed meat bagel, sfeha with tahaina, and zaatar/akkawi cheese/cherry tomato. Honestly, everything was a 5/5. I liked that the pizzas weren't floppy and none of the ingredients slid off. The portions were huge. I also got a peach matcha. After mixing it, the peach taste was very noticeable: -The pepperoni tastes cleaner and more flavorful than the American places. For some reason, the American ones are so greasy and oily. -For the egg/meat/cheese pizza, the egg taste really stands out. -Sfeha is halal ground beef and has more flavor than regular ground beef. The tahaina helps make it pop. -The zaatar/akkawi/cherry tomato is an awesome combination. When you take that first bite, you'll immediately taste all of the ingredients. It's that prominent. -The mixed meat kaak has halal turkey, halal roast beef, halal salami, mozzarella, Mexican cheese, and their signature sauce. They give you two cups of sauces. One I think is the signature sauce and the red one is a little spicy. The portion is big enough to share between 3-4 people.

I had this delivered but can't wait to go in person and try everything fresh. My favorite was meat with cheese.
