This is my favorite mante spot. I've tried many different mante restaurants but none really taste as good. I love the crunch and different flavors they offer. The classic is my favorite, can't beat that! But of course the animal style and Mexican is also tasty for something different. They even have hot Cheetos! It's been a minute since I ordered some and now I'm getting in the mood. I think I'll be ordering very soon! One thing I really hope they add is delivery! For those that live on the other side of town it takes a minute to get there to pick up. It would be helpful and great if delivery was an option. At one point they worked with a third party for delivery. I hope it comes back because it would make our lives easier and we can order more often!! read more

Never disappoints! The last time I had Mante House was about 12 years ago when my brother took our family to the original location. I recently saw their page on instagram and saw they are taking orders through a ghost kitchen and I jumped on placing an order. So crispy, flavorful and delicious. It was my husband's first time trying and he could not stop saying how delicious it is and same with me! read more

I have never had Armenian food before so I was very interested in trying mante for the first time. I ordered the medium size with beef filling and got 3 sauces (Garlic yogurt, Traditional red, and Jalapeño ranch) to-go. It took about 15 minutes to prepare my order. The mante are very crispy and I LOVED the traditional red sauce. I'm not really sure what spices were in the mante or red sauce, but the acidity of the red sauce paired very nicely with the beef filling. The jalapeño ranch was my second favorite and the garlic yogurt was not nearly garlicky enough for me so I think I would pass on that sauce next time. I drove roughly an hour to try this restaurant, and I'm very happy that the mante remained crunchy despite the long drive back. My only complaint is that I wish they gave me more sauce because I ran out very quickly! If I were dining in I would have liked to try some of the other toppings, but I think it would have made the mante very soggy over an extended amount of time. TIP for parking: There is a short stretch of green curb for street parking directly in front of the restaurant, but I found it easier to park on Marcus Ave and walk a few steps. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a LONG time and I finally found my self in the area(I live by Inglewood) so I had to try it. WORHT IT!!! I tried the beef mantle and it was delicious! First time trying this dish and I can't wait to come back, they offer many sauces to dip or spread for the crispy mante. They also have a few other toppings you can have placed on top but I went with the original mante covered in chipotle sauce with a side of bourbon sauce which all paired well. Additionally, the onion rings here are tasty with ranch so feel free to add those to your order for a enjoyable meal. I totally recommend y'all try this place! As far as parking goes, it seems like it's street parking only and right in front of the business is a 15 minute parking green zone that was available for parking so I parked there to get my order. If you want to dine in they have a few tables inside and a small patio as well Do it!!! read more

Mante House - Yum!!! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tujunga, California

The best! My kids ask everyday when it will open again- anyone know? They make delicious crunchy dumplings with garlicky yogurt. FYI , they would be drowning in business if they opened near CV or LCHS - the perfect high school lunch. read more

Mante with toppings?? ...amazing!! Love the concept. Had their large plate split into 3 parts for different toppings. 1. Plain with yogurt 2. Hot Cheetos topping 3. Feta cheese topping They have other options too. It was so good. Definitely filling for 3-4 people. Wish the mante on the bottom was a bit softer though. It seemed a little dry and some pieces were crispier than needed. Other than that everything was great. Will come back for sure read more

Delicious food. People are friendly and the service is great. I wish they would have better hours of operation.

Fantastic Mante. Big selection of sauces. Great quality. Very few good restaurants in this area so this is a blessing.

Great mante, dressing options, and service! We will come back for more comfort food!!

Honestly this is the BEST mante Ive had. Totally reminds me of the mante my grandmother used to make. The owner is also a chill dude and very polite read more

A true hidden gem. These things are dangerously addicting and the appeal of eating them out of a pizza box is an experience like no other. Kind service and casual diner ambiance. Also the sauces? Coming back to try every single one of them. read more

If you haven't had Mante you gotta try it for sure. There is nothing crazy or a hype but it's really good. Little 1 x 1 thin bread with one little meat inside and made like a bow and cooked. Nice and crispy and not burnt at all so they on top of there food. You can order pretty much with any topping you like. Can make it a nacho style or chopped up hot Cheetos on the top anything you want you can ask and they will put on it. They come in small, medium, and large sizes in the pizza boxes. They got other stuff too I gotta try like burgers, sandwiches, Mac & cheese balls, gyro sandwich, and deserts also. Will be back to try out some other yummy dishes you guys got. See you soon read more

Mante House is one of our go to Armenian spots. Their Mante is crispy, fresh and delicious. Their sauces are delicious and the toppings they offer for their Mante are also great. I usually order ahead on Grubhub and go pick it up on my way home from work. They are closed on Wednesdays so make sure to plan ahead. I'd definitely recommend their Mante pizza with jalapeños, banana peppers, olives, and cilantro. read more

Mante House - Mante Square and Fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Tujunga, California

The Mante I have tried there is really special and delicious. Don't hesitate and visit them. Thanks a lot.

Tujunga is lucky to have this new gem of a restaurant. Mante as served here are tiny dumplings, not quite folded together, filled with nicely spiced filling of either beef, chicken or vegetables. The Mante are baked, then topped off with sauce. Delicious! I had the combo which included the Mante, sauce, one side (cabbage salad which was delicious) and a drink (I selected the mint yogurt drink, a trifle more expensive than the soda, but worth it.) The garlic yogurt sauce was perfect on top of the crispy flavorful mante. They also have daily sweet baked goods for those of you with a sweet tooth, which were really good. Service was very helpful. Btw, it looks like you could also order a "Manizza" if you like: you guessed it, a 12", 14" or 16" pizza pan full of delicious mante. You can even add toppings: jalapeño, cilantro, onions, pepperoncini, and olives. Talk about multicultural........ And, you can order online here http://mantehouse.eat24hour.com/ and have it delivered if you live in the area. Perfect for your next gaming party or football game! Don't you love L.A.? read more

"Manti (Uyghur: , manta, Kazakh: , Turkish: mantı, Uzbek: manti, Armenian: ; indicates either singular or plural) or Mantu (Kyrgyz or Pashto, Persian, Arabic: ) are dumplings popular in most Turkic cuisines, as well as in the Caucasian, Central Asian, Chinese Islamic, and Hejaz cuisines. Nowadays, manti are also consumed throughout Russia & other post-Soviet countries, where the dish spread from the Central Asian republics.The dumplings typically consist of a spiced meat mixture, usually lamb or ground beef in a dough wrapper, & either boiled or steamed. Size & shape vary significantly depending on the geographical location. Manti resemble the Chinese jiaozi, Korean mandu, Mongolian buuz, & Tibetan momo. Origin is somewhat uncertain. While the Chinese word "mantou" has been suggested as the origin for the word "manti", this word had several different spellings in Chinese in the past indicating that the Chinese attempted to adapt a foreign word to their writing system. Originally, mantou was meat filled, but nowadays mantou refers to steamed bun in China, while baozi resembles the ancient mantou stuffed w/ meat. Former territories of the Mongol Empire is where the various manti dishes are geographically located. The recipe was carried across Central Asia along the Silk Road to Anatolia by migrating Turkic and Mongol peoples in the Chingizid-Timurid periods. In particular, according to one Armenian researcher, manti first reached Cilician Armenia as a result of the cultural interaction between Armenians & Mongols during their alliance in the 13th century. According to Holly Chase, "Turkic and Mongol horsemen on the move are supposed to have carried frozen or dried manti, which could be quickly boiled over a camp-fire". In Turkey, it is also called Tatar böreği (Tatar bureks), which indicates its relation to nomadic peoples. Korean mandu is also said to have arrived in Korea through the Mongols in the 14th century. However, some researchers do not discount the possibility that manti may have originated in the Middle East and spread eastward to China and Korea through the Silk Road" Enough of History: Mante House doesn't offer a sampler plate of beef, chicken, vegetable (spinach & mushroom) Manti. So I ordered the Beef Manti which is a small ball of ground beef herbed w/ possibly earthy, aromatic coriander & cumin surrounded by a fairly thin wheat dough wrapper which fries up rather hard & crunchy so that the softer meat is in contrast to crunchiness. I opted for the classic yogurt & garlic which has a slightly garlicky funk & lightly dairy milky fermented sourness. I believe raw garlic is incorporated in the yogurt so there is a metallic aftertaste which I thought was a good counter point to the herbed beef mellowness. I also ordered the lightly pickled shredded red & green cabbage which had a dried spearmint leaf tone & maybe a bit of Za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice mix of thyme & oregano which added a slight smokiness. It was slightly sweet w/ possibly a bit of citrus juice for acidity & then left to ferment for a short while which created a satisfying vegetal Umami. This cabbage/mint was another excellent foil to the fried, beefy Manti. For an extra order, I got what is called Torshi in Farsi which means sour. It is a melange of vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, green beans, beets & is brined & pickled in a bit of vinegar. The crunchiness of the vegetables & the acidic sourness awakens the meatier beefy flavours of the Manti. Baklava here is extra flavourful w/ the phyllo dough being light, thin & a whisper of sweet, fragrant butter to give an airiness to the sometimes leaden baklava of other eateries. The chopped walnuts seem braised for a while in the sugar syrup as well as possibly lemon zest since there is a definite delicate scent of citrus in the syrup. I would come back for just their baklava. Mante House seems to have figured that its traditional flavours may not fly w/ those not too familiar w/ Armenian cuisine so there is "Louisiana Style Chipotle Cream, Nacho Cheese, Sour Spices". Also there is Mac & Cheese, mashed potatoes for the uninitiated. I myself like the closer to the traditional since these fermented flavours seem to be almost universal in Asian cooking because perhaps fermented foods are full of probiotic health giving bacteria & virus which helps maintain good flora in our gut. Our ancestors knew what were good things to eat by trial & error. Unfortunately, modern corporatized food have made many of us get away & dislike foods that give us health. LImited indoor & outdoor dining. Street parking. Mante House: 4- Yelp stars. read more

We were hungry and driving by. Didn't look at ratings or anything decided to give it a try. The moment we walked in the menu was set on the TVs. Clear with nice photos of the yummy food. Well maintained and clean. I love Mante it's one of my favorite foods. However not a lot of people know how to make it as yummy as it should be. Mante house tasted just like home made! And with the touch of modern, we were able order 4 different quarters. One regular, one nacho style, one feta style and lastly hot Cheeto style! With a side of garlic yogurt!! Guys trust me it was soooo good I cannot wait to have my best friend try this place. We adore Mante!! Thank you Mante house again for the great food and greetings! read more

Wow....where do I start? You have to try all the different Mante's with the yogurt. My favorite is the original but I like the flame n hot version as well. My only criticism is that I wish they would give more yogurt sauce. I also like their soup, it's really great especially when you add some mante into the soup. Gotta try this place! read more

Great Food, fantastic service. They work quick to fill their pick up orders! The space is just a little small.

We are in Tujunga for a mini vacation and we're looking in yelp for places to eat. I'm, like, what is Mante? I googled it, seemed interesting, so we ordered. Here's what we got: 1. Small Mante topped with cilantro. Ordered the traditional red sauce and garlic yogurt sauce. Dip the Mante in both and BOOM!!! Magic in your mouth. I'm serious, my husband and I fought over the last few nuggets. It was so so so good. 2. Mac n cheese and fries. Pretty damn good. Our toddler loved it. 3. Hummus. Dude, why even buy hummus from the store? This stuff is SO much better. I would absolutely recommend this place. We will be coming back here. read more

Disappointed. Maybe I expected too much from the reviews and the hype. I have never had Mante and bought a few of them for my office on a whim. Sauces were mediocre. The Mante itself was strange and might not have been right. The pastry was crispy but also tough, like the drier pasta pieces left on the edge of the cooking pot. Not in a good way. The meat was a bit dry and without much flavor. I might try again. This many great reviews can't be wrong but I was expecting something much, much better. read more

Really good here. Favorite is the nachos mante. I recommend pre ordering if you're on a time crunch because it takes a bit of time. We have to order in advance of our lunch break so we have it for lunch time. read more

Very Good Mante I can only complain about them needing to open more locations or offer delivery. Post mates & GrubHub add unnecessary fees and make your order complicated. read more

This place is great when I'm craving mante but I'm too lazy to make it myself. Their large is exactly the size of a sheet pan. I always get it raw and bake it at home. To anyone that says it's expensive or there isn't enough meat.... have you ever tried making it?! It takes an hr to fill just 1 pan! It's a very time consuming and tedious dish to cook. This place is the next best thing to homemade. read more

Love this local spot. The crunch on these is so satisfying, along with their dipping spots. Makes for a great party dish since it's so easy to share. read more
