Stopped in on a chilly Sunday afternoon and were welcomed by a warm, cozy atmosphere. We were served pita chips with za'atar as a house appetizer, which was a lovely touch. We shared a lentil soup that was good, though it could have used a squeeze of lemon or something similar to brighten the flavor. The falafel sandwich was delicious, packed with fresh pickles and paired perfectly with a side of baba ghanoush. The chicken shawarma sandwich was also tasty, though it didn't include the same pickles as the falafel. Overall, this was a delicious and authentic spot that I'd definitely visit again if I were in the area. read more

Manouche - Lentil soup and Chicken Shawarma and falafel Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

I'm sad to give this place two stars because I was really excited about the menu. My boyfriend and I ordered to-go from here. We got the jebneh, the lentil soup, and the falafel platter with french fries and salad. We started with the jebneh which is basically white pizza. It was pretty mid. I thought the lentil soup would be puréed but it wasn't and it had a ton of onions which I don't particularly care for. This is however a personal preference and not part of why I am giving two stats. The falafel was cooked well but not seasoned well and lacked flavor. The dipping sauce was watery, and could have also offered more flavor. My boyfriend and I went to finish the jebneh and I found a hair in it. Not mine and not my boyfriend's. I called Manouche to let them know and they offered to remake it but honestly the food overall really upset my stomach. My boyfriend also had a stomach ache after the food. The manager who I spoke to about the food was pretty unsympathetic and said she'd double check their processes and that hair was highly unusual. I just didn't love the customer service. Overall, the food even without the hair was mediocre. My boyfriend said the best thing was the root beer he got from there. I don't think we will be going back any time soon. read more

I did a pickup order, but the interior looked really nice for dine in as well. It was pretty easy to place an order, but they do charge to use credit cards (which I did not see disclosed but meh). I did get a gyro platter - meat was nice. and it did come with 2 side options. The baba ghanouj was a really nice, big serving with a rich, roasted eggplant flavor. The roasted potatoes were fine, but nothing remarkable. Overall the meal was satisfying and was a lot of food. I did give in and have to try the heaven cake, as I had not heard of it before. The pistachio crust and phyllo edge reminded me a lot of baklava, but the whipped cream filling was very sweet and denser than I expected. It was a unique treat. Overall, the food was nice, and Manouche offers some interesting dishes for the area. read more

The food at Manouche is amazing. I've had lunch inside their lovely restaurant and it's always been great. Last night I ordered the 'family meal' to take out for a small dinner party I hosted. Everything was exceptional! The food was plentiful & delicious & my guests were delighted with the choices. I highly recommend Manouche! read more

Solid experience! My friend referred me to Manouche and I'm so glad she did. I made sure to make a reservation because she told me it gets busy. Parking is only street but we found a spot quickly. Upon entering we were greeted welcomingly and directed to a table. The dining space was pretty small but cozy. It looked like a lot of local families visit. The waitress was very kind and attentive. We had sodas (no cocktails here!) and the Ouche Dipper. We picked the Hummus, Baba Ghanouj, Zesty Feta with chips. The dips were sooo good. We particularly loved the chips because we haven't seen that at any Mediterranean restaurants we've been to. For the entree we ordered the Ouche Mixed Grill Platter with Pilaf Rice and Ouche Salad. 10/10!! The meats had so much flavor. Rice and salad were great and a good balance. My stomach is sensitive but it didn't hurt. The portion size was great for 2. I only didn't like the onions because I'm particular but my gf did. I'd definitely come back! read more

Excellent food and service. If you like mediterranean food, you'll love this place. I had the gyro, kafta, hummus, baba ganoush, yellow rice, pita bread. All was top shelf quality. read more

Extremely authentic and very, very, VERY good. I mean so good that I was shocked. So good I didn't even take pictures. I come from a relatively well-known middle eastern restaurant family, and I'm super picky when it comes to middle eastern food. I don't say this to be all hoity toity, but to say that I'm someone that has eaten borderline TOO much of it over the course of my lifetime. Ok so I tried the hummus, chicken shawarma platter, and shish tawook platter. Full disclosure, I don't even really like shish tawook (it's usually bland or dry or something), but I'd had a workout and wanted to be healthy. It was up there, truly, in some of the best I've had. Not dry at all, seasoned appropriately, juicy and tender and GREAT. Love the tzatziki-ish sauce it came with. The chicken shawarma was the star though. It's not the thin-shaved shawarma you get off a spit, it's more like thin strips of chicken cooked on a flat top. That seasoning though WOW. And their garlic sauce is excellent. Their fattoush had an incredible dressing, and I think they added some honey or something which really balanced what is typically almost too acidic of a dressing for me. No complaints on the yellow rice. Everything was cooked to perfection. That's incredibly rare. Guys in the front were super friendly and the ambience is cute and cozy. Definitely will be back for date night or tomorrow and the day after and the day after and the day after read more

Fantastic food, expertly prepared. This place is great every time. Presentation is lovely. Just a 5 star dining experience every time. read more

Manouche - Chicken Shawarma Platter - Salad Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

Delicious food and great service . Really took me to Lebanon . Definitely coming back

Growing up in Saudi Arabia, I ate a lot of Middle Eastern food, mostly Lebanese. Ever since moving to the US 15 years ago, I've been searching for a Lebanese restaurant that reminds me of the ones I used to go to back home. Finally, I've found it at Manouche. We went for lunch on a Sunday and got seated right away. We started with crispy falafels and tahini sauce. They were so good - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also had a sfeeha (not pictured), which is a minced beef, parsley, and onion pie. It came in four slices and was delicious. Next, we ordered the ouche dipper and chose labneh, zesty feta, and hummus. The zesty feta had just the right amount of spice, and if it got too spicy, the refreshing labneh balanced it out perfectly. The pitted olives were a nice touch too. For our main course, we all got the chicken shawarma, and it was amazing. The shawarma was long and slender, packed with marinated chicken, fries, Lebanese pickles, and just the right amount of toum. It really brought me back to my childhood. Manouche is now my go-to whenever I'm craving a taste of home. P.S. I went back three days later for takeout. Even though I live about 15 minutes away, the food traveled well. I got the falafels again, along with French fries, chicken shawarma, and the gyro platter. I seriously love Manouche for making such amazing food! read more

Manouche was meh and although the service was really nice and attentive, the food left much to be desired. We stopped here after seeing it's raving reviews here on Yelp. I swear ya be lyinggggg lol. After a day of oo-ing and ah-ing at the beautiful cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park we were HUNGRY. We ate in and tried a variety of things: lamb and chicken platter (beef was substituted for chicken), fool (fava beans), and regular gyro with a side of fries. The fries were plentiful. The gyro was pretty basic. The street carts in NYC have more flair and flavor tbh. The veggies were lacking and the gyro meat was exactly as any other gyro spot. The platter was basically a gyro but with sides-- we tried the hummus (again, super basic and bland) and the salad. The beans were plentiful (seriously, it was a HUGE portion) and we did not eat most of it. They tasted a bit odd, like burnt garlic, and felt like they needed to be cooked more. We did not enjoy these beans at all. Add a can of coke for $2.50. I don't drink soda so I was shocked-- when did a can become $2.50?! Is this normal? (serious question) I'm not sure so I won't hold it against them. I don't think I will return. Overall it was flavorless and bland. Not my style. read more

Was randomly picking a place on yelp with the location for montclair, but for some reason this place showed up. I am really glad the algorithm was like you will like this place even tho you specifically said montclair. One platter and one app was more than enough for the both of us. The grape leaf was really good (a little salty for me but that preference). The meats on sticks were all very juicy, but the real stars were the rice and the eggplant dip. I just couldn't stop, which became a problem once the rice and pita decided it was time to expand read more

Someone before mentioned 3 stars for the food yet 4 stars for the service and I'd agree. I really wanted to like the falafel sandwich it just needed more flavor. The pickled veggies in there were very delicious though! Overall I was hungry for a quick grab-n-go falafel fix and this got the job done. I'm going to give this place another shot by ordering something else next time. Metered parking. read more

I'm so bummed that this place stopped doing breakfast! They made the best breakfast sandwiches and coffee around. I'll still be in for the occasional take out order, but man am I disappointed. Previous review: I love this place and am beyond grateful that it is just around the corner from me! My boyfriend and I come in regularly for their delicious breakfast sandwiches and coffee, but their regular menu items are also amazing! Super fresh ingredients, good portion sizes, cute ambiance and the waitress who typically takes care of us is attentive and friendly! I can't say enough good things about this place. If you want delicious food served with a smile, this is the spot! read more

Manouche is a must try. I will be back. The food was perfectly seasoned, and fresh. The atmosphere, service, and aesthetic impressive as well.

Don't listen to the reviews saying the food is bland, try it for yourself and thank me later :) read more

Manouche - The Shish Tawook Platter - Salad Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

Wow! Manouche & Co did NOT disappoint! First off, their staff was wonderful, friendly and just top notch. We got 25 dolmades to bring to a family party and the price was very reasonable, and they even threw in a few extra for free. They were so fresh and delicious, made with quality ingredients and the perfect party food. I was offered the option of paying a little more to have them plated and not just in the tray, but opted for just the tray... they were beautifully presented and party ready anyway! Absolutely recommend this place! The manager even called to see what time I'd be picking them up to make sure they weren't out getting warm and stayed perfectly chilled. Again, wonderful food and service. I wish them much continued success! read more

Good food. Ordered mostly plant based. All very nice and tasty. Decent ingredients.

The food is phenomenal! Everything is made fresh and in house, that includes the pita chips, hummus and tzatziki! The service is equally fantastic. Their employees and eager to please, eager to serve and always with a smile. And they are always grateful for the patronage to their business. I love what they did to the space! It's homey, clean, inviting and warm. If you look closely you'd never guess the space is a renovated garage! And if you bring your dog, they have outdoor seating. read more
