Came here for a birthday on a Saturday night and it did not disappoint!
Tucked away on the quieter side of Lygon st the restaurant is loud and buzzing with energy.
Every time a birthday cake came out a song blared over the speakers prompting every to clap and chant :) a lot of fun!
Starting off with the drinks. The cocktails were well made and even the mocktail we ordered was quite nice. My fav was the Beirut sour and as a after dinner cocktail I went with the nutty espresso martini. Went well after the platter of meats.
In terms of food I found every to be delicious. The egg plant chips were incredible, the mince lamb, small chick wings, mince meat rice was amazing.
The only dish I wasn’t keen on was the chicken skewers . Lacked flavor especially compared to the rest.
Even though the service was friendly it was not attentive at all unless we flagged them down which happened the entire night. Other than that definitely a place I would come again in a group :)
My partner and I got the mega banquet at $60/head. So much food and it was all the such high quality. The dips were amazing and generous portion, we used them for our meats as well, and even came with enough bread ! The meats and mezze were all sooo tasty! Meat cigars and the potatoes were my favourites along with the lamb fillet skewers! They could have slowed down on bringing out the Mezze as we were quite overwhelmed with all the food. Highly recommend this place !
We celebrated our daughter's Christening at Mama Manoush with a group of 25 friends and family. The food was superb and the service even better. Would highly recommend. The cocktails are great too :)
I’ve come here a couple of times and have never been disappointed. Great service and food!
Great food, great service. Best Long Islands ever, finally bar men who know how to make a drink! Food is very tasty. The cheese sambousik and dips were my favourite!
Walked in on a Saturday lunch time and promptly greeted and seated by a friendly host . Large airy dining space serving very tasty , fresh Lebanese food . Great menu for sharing with the hummus and kibbe being the standout dishes. Great to have as a local place, highly recommended and will return.
Amazing service, amazing food!
Ambience , YES! Divine food , YES! Friendly service , YES! Came for an early dinner on Friday night had $45 banquet and couldn’t fault a thing, fresh and flavoursome with happy hour drinks 5-7pm! Does life get better than that, not in my opinion!! Would highly recommend and will certainly return !
Love Mama Manoush! Always accommodating and always great quality, flavour packed, Lebanese food. A regular favourite of ours. If it’s your first visit, get the banquet, see what’s your favourite.
Food was so good! Good sized portions and easy to order a few things and share. Staff were lovely. Would recommend getting there early or making a booking, as they fill up super quick! Would go back for sure.
Really friendly service and great atmosphere. The drinks are excellent and they dont mind doing substitutions. We orderes 2 share platters. The gluten free and the meat lovers. Everything was delicious but the garlic wings where phenomenal (on the meat lovers platter).
The music is a just a little too loud so you might have trouble hearing, or you might just have to raise your voice a little.
Excellent experience. Good job all the staff!
Great location and atmosphere.
I went with my friend and we enjoyed everything.
The staff was very friendly and professional.
We didn’t wait for the table on Friday night ( we didn’t make a booking) and for our dishes.
Everything was delicious. We ordered Hummus and Baba Ghannouj that they served with their bread ( you have to try it because it’s so yummy ) .
Also we ordered falafel, potatoes, cheese sambousik and vegetarian kibbi.
I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended.
Busy, warm very friendly atmospheric restaurant. Excellent service from attentive and helpful staff. However, it was the food that was the jewel in this evenings crown! Fresh, fresh and fresh delicious, interesting and just perfect. I highly recommend.
Delicious food, great atmosphere really enjoyed it. We ate so much that our stomachs stretched. Must try their Awesome platters 👌😀
Few tips:
1. Book book book
2. If going for the banquet, choose the mega one, don't be cheap, u won't regret it
3. Enjoy...
Love the salads, the baba ghannouj, the rice and the skewers (and everythingelse ;))... great service, quick attention, quick kitchen, everything was fresh and tender... loved, can't wait to come back
Had an amazing experience here tonight! Had a great table with plenty of space for 8, heaps of delicious food and a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. Specifically wanted to mention that not only was it good food and an enjoyable atmosphere, the wait staff went out of there way and were consistent and approachable. Instantly refilled our bread and water when we were low, asked if we needed anything else and were considerate and patient with out big group. We all left smiling and full! Highly recommend, will be back
Great interior and friendly staff. We had the Mama's Banquet ($49pp) and a drink each ($21). Great selection of dishes. Would recommend if you don't want the stress of picking your dishes or if you want a little taste of everything. We waited over 20 min from when our mains were cleared, and prompted the staff for our last course to come out (dessert and tea - minor issue but unfortunate if you are under sitting time constraints).
Loved all the food. Just as I remember when Mama Manoush was in Fitzroy.
