    White Cheese
    Reem A.

    Such a great find! We tried several things at Manakeesh House and really enjoyed our meal. The roasted chicken was excellent--full of flavor, nicely seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The Jerusalem ka'ak with cheese was another favorite. I love this type of bread and have been searching for a place that makes a really good one, and this definitely hit the spot. I also liked the casual setup. You order yourself, and tea, cups, plates, and utensils are available to grab as needed. Everything was clean and organized, and the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant also has a lot of personality. Being a photographer, I tend to notice visual details, and I loved the Palestinian touches throughout the space, from the artwork on the walls to the black-and-white keffiyeh pattern on the paper used for serving the food. Good food, friendly people, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a place I'll come back to!

    Amazingly delicious. Some of my favorite restaurants take a comfort food that's easy to eat and nostalgic growing up and put a unique, diverse spin on it that is not only daring, but not too adventurous that I feel comfortable taking all of my friends and family to go and try it and Manakeesh House is definitely going on that list. And that list is not only going to be my MUST visits in Anaheim, but some of my top food places in all of SoCal that I will be recommending to everyone in the future, it's just that good. I mean you can never go wrong with a delicious slice of pizza, and to put such a unique, cultural spin on it? Say no more. It's a decently sized restaurant with plenty of seating. Looks very high end and fancy on the inside and there was a good number of people on a Sunday evening, dining in and taking to go orders. Great to see diverse groups of people dining there too, from families and people of all ages and generations. You can tell this is a staple of the community. Staff was super friendly and outgoing. Adds to the lively vibe of the place on top of the music they were playing too. They call your name over the intercom if you're dining in. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Chicken Chipotle Specialty Manakeesh: -Delicious spin on a classic. -Comes with 2 side sauces. One being a chipotle mayo ranch type sauce and the other one being a spicy chili sauce that gives a sharp kick at the start, but doesn't give a lasting burn, so it's not too bad. -Super cheesy on the top and there's ingredients folded on the inside of the bread too, so you're getting double the cheese with the chicken as well. Chicken is moist and not too dry either. Doesn't have that super chicken-y taste and has a generous portion as well. 2) Za'atar, Cheese, Tomato Manakeesh Flatbread: -Generous amount of small dried cherry tomatoes, cheese, arugula, and za'tar all over their flatbread. -It's a light and healthy taste to a flatbread that I would usually associate with Italian flavors (the burst of sweet tomato, cheese, and arugula) with the herbs and spices of the za'tar especially with each bite of the sesame seeds made everything have nice toasted flavor on top of the earthy, citrusy, and savory blend. Great mix of flavors and textures (doughy bread, burst of juice from tomatoes, the cheese, the arugula, etc.) We got a bottle of yogurt beverage (strong yogurt taste and quite thick) and Hawa Soda Cola Zero Sugar (a "spicier" tasting Dr. Pepper like cola) imported from Palestine. Both dishes were delicious as the dough is baked fresh everyday. Delicious, carb. Nice chew to it that went great with all the flavors and wasn't dry at all. Loved the dough membrane inside too. This was around $40 for both of us and we had leftovers to take home. Definitely want to come back with more people to try more of their menu. Delicious!

    Zatar Cheese

    Wow, absolutely loved this place. The instant you open the door delicious aromas waft into your nostrils followed by a friendly greeting from whom I assume is the owner. I ordered the Za'atar with cheese manakeesh and grabbed a diet Shasta from the fridge. After not that long of a wait my manakeesh was fresh out of the oven. This was bigger than most personal pizzas and smelled like pure heaven. Za'atar is one of my favorite herbal mixes and it was perfection with the cheese. I devoured the whole thing and was honestly sad it was gone. I should have ordered another for "my wife" and then devoured it in my car. It was that good! They have a huge variety of toppings from hot honey pepperoni to labneh with veggies. They also have dessert ones. Besides the pizzas they have what appears to be sandwiches on an interesting looking bread. There's also big family platters of whole chickens cooked with charcoal. Inside is spacious with plenty of seating. Parking lot is large but really full. I couldn't tell what other business was taking up the space but they had a security guard making sure people parking were only for specific business. I loved it and cannot wait to return!

    If I can give this amazing Palestinian restaurant more than 5 stars I would. I was craving manakeesh, so I went for breakfast. From the zatar manakeesh to the falafel manakeesh I left with a big smile. Highly recommend trying this spot out!

    I was looking for an interesting early dinner option, before a show at HOB Anaheim. Manakeesh had recently opened, and looked like it had definite possibility. My friend and I decided that we would share the mixed grill plate and a flatbread. We chose the fresh za'atar and cheese, from the many options available. The meats were delicious, and came with rice, salad, coleslaw, pickled cabbage, and Hummus, plus pita. We had a lot of the sides left to take home, but finished off the meat. I think my friend's favorite was the flatbread. It was delicious, like a garlic bread with fresh herbs. I really like Middle Eastern style cheese, because it's slightly saltier than regular mozzarella. I have to agree that it was delicious. We ordered at the counter, and the staff gave us time to decide which one we were going to get. There was a big cooler of drinks, and we both got a guava Jarritos. The interior is really beautiful, with interesting light fixtures and panels. There are beautiful plates, pictures, and mirrors decorating the walls of the bright, open dining room. I really enjoyed our dinner, and I'm hoping I'll be back soon to try more items from the menu!

    Zaatar and cheese $9

    Manakeesh House is a Palestinian restaurant that specializes in manakeesh (baked flat breads with various toppings), wraps, plates (kabobs/shrimp/beef/chicken) and custom chicken bowls. The restaurant is spacious and clean with plenty of indoor seating. Mix grill plate ($25) - Served with rice, salad, hummus, red cabbage, garlic, bread, chicken tawooq, kofte kebab, and filet mignon. All the meats were so tender and juicy and I enjoyed the pita bread which was freshly made in house with the rich and creamy hummus. Zaatar cheese ($9) - This is a classic manakeesh option with the nutty, tangy blend of zaatar spices and some gooey cheese. While it tasted great, I felt the manakeesh was a little thicker compared to other places I have had, but it was still good. Labna/honey/nuts ($10) - This was a great tasting dessert option, the labna having a creamy yogurt consistency and the sweetness of the honey pairing perfectly with it. Overall I really enjoyed the food here and the variety of options. The charcoal chicken looks like another good option to try and I'd like to check out their meat options for the manakeesh. There is a charge for water ($1.50).

    Labneh & Vegis flatbread
    Chad K.

    Anaheim is the epicenter for a variety of Arabic delicacies. We found out about Kareems first, then Knafeh Cafe, and I am now adding Manakeesh House to that list. Hand rolled, stone baked flatbreads called Manakeesh. The lightest, fluffiest and perfectly chewy yet soft flatbread texture you can think of with as many ingredient options as Baskin Robbins has ice cream flavors. I got Labneh and Veggies while my wife got Cheese and Zatar. I am looking forward to trying some of the Halal meat options or a fully loaded Jerusalem Kaaka next time. They are bread masters and truly know what they are doing. Even a plain Jerusalem Kaaka tasted like the most amazing piece plain bread ever, even without anything in it. Just open texture, firm on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. Staff is warm and welcoming and the dining room is super clean and elegant. The prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend them.

    Beautiful Palestinian restaurant that makes everything from scratch. They make pizzas in a wood fired oven and cook their meats over real charcoal for an authentic smokey char. I was so impressed with the service, the owner even remembered my name when I left. The parking lot has plenty of free parking. They even have free tea with fresh mint leaves. I will definitely be back with my friends and family.

    Highly recommend this place food was absolutely DELICIOUS we got the cheese and eggs, zaatar, and veggie Manakeesh along with a chicken sandwich. Service was extremely fast even though it was busy on a weekend, we really liked that they were helping people get their tables cleaned and seated fast. The seating area has Palestinian decorations and plenty of tables to sit and hangout.

    I had gotten a tattoo and my artist recommend to check this place out! It was a five minute drive from the shop! This place was much bigger than expected and the staff were very lively and friendly. I picked up a hot honey pizza, some fries, and was recommended to try the cheese sambousek. I like that they called me over so I can see them drizzle the hot honey. They were generous with it! Everything was delicious and didn't take too long to prepare. The cheese sambousek reminded me of an eggroll which made me like it even more lol. They had some other items I'll return to try like their platters and flatbreads :)

    First off, food was amazing. 10/10 It's really nice walking in there, it's a nice vibe with good lighting. I think they need metal utensils though. I feel like that almost took away from the meal. ALMOST. but the food is literally that good so I guess it's okay.

    Manakeesh House is an absolute gem in Anaheim! The food is incredibly fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Every bite tasted homemade, and you can tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients. The manakeesh was baked perfectly with a crisp crust and delicious toppings, and the hospitality made the experience even better. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and the staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. Whether you're craving a quick bite or introducing someone to Middle Eastern cuisine, this is a place you'll want to come back to. Highly recommend!

    After visiting Disneyland and running a race at the Halloween Disneyland Half Marathon, my husband…read moreand I looked on Yelp for some chicken sandwich restaurants. Chick-N-Out was one of the most highly rated places in Anaheim California. Chick-N-Out is located on Ball Road near Disneyland. It's open daily from 5:00 P.M to 11:00 P.M. Extended hours are on Fridays and Saturdays. This pop up food truck offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, French Fries, wraps, nachos, tenders and more! Most of their combo meals cost between $18.00-$20.00 each. My husband and I both ordered a chicken sandwich combo. My Chicken sandwich only had pickles on it, but he had everything added to his sandwich! There were a few customers ahead of us, so we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the order. After we got our meal, we decided to eat it in our car fresh instead of bringing it back to the hotel. The chicken sandwich was so delicious! It was super crunchy. I think it was deep fried with the corn flake crust. It was one of the more unique chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was relatively thin, but still scrumptious! I haven't had anything like this before! The French Fries were good. They needed a little bit more salt for me. The Cajun corn was slightly spicy. The cooks in the food truck prepare the orders from scratch. While we were waiting for the order, we saw a lot of the chicken cutlets being prepared and deep fried. I really enjoyed eating at Chick-N-Out. It's one of my new favorite places to eat at near Disneyland!

    Came into bb.q chicken Anaheim with a couple friends after almost visiting house of Shabu shabu II,…read moreafter this caught our eye in the same parking lot. When we came in, the restaurant was pretty empty but very clean and well air conditioned which is a must right now. We were sat quickly and were able to easily order on the iPad. We ordered the cheese balls, rose tteokbokki, and boneless soy garlic chicken (large). They pretty quickly brought a complimentary side salad to the table which was a crunchy and refreshing shredded cabbage with a thousand island like sauce similar to what you'd be served with Korean katsu. Our cheese balls came out next. We were expecting something a bit more savory, but to our surprise, they were quite sweet. It tasted almost like a donut, if you've had the Korean rice donuts filled with red bean or sweet cream cheese, these tasted like the latter, but with some sort of melting cheese like mozzarella also mixed in. While it wasn't what we were necessarily looking for, they were very tasty, but I don't think we'd get it with chicken again. I really like the tteokbokki here. They're heavy on the veggies like cabbage, which I actually enjoy about it. It holds the sauce in a way the rice cakes just don't. Their sauce is also lightly sweet and not too rich or spicy. It makes the dish go down a lot easier than other versions of it. The chicken came out last, and was impressive as expected. You may expect boneless chicken to be dry or flavorless, but bb.q chicken somehow manages to avoid all that while still achieving a satisfying crunch all while covered in sauce. Even their sauced chicken is somehow still crispy, which I think is owed mostly to their breading and frying methods, as well as the conservative amount of sauce they put on it (which we appreciate). I would definitely return to this location for Korean fried chicken. The Irvine one wall has also been reliable in my experience. The only location which has been consistently bad is the Fullerton location, whose ambiance, service, and food have been lackluster on the multiple occasions I've been there, which is surprising for a chain like this. Two thumbs up for Anaheim tho.

I eat 4 pieces and he inhales the rest with two cups of rice at home.
