I have been coming here for years with my family. Everything is delicious! It is always on the eating agenda when we are in LA. Fattoush salad, mahamara, lamb, chicken, moutabul and mint tea are my favorites! Thank you Mantee !

We went for Vday 2026. The night hasn’t even ended and I couldn’t sleep without sharing my review because of how disappointed I was.
I honestly will never go there again. I was disappointed with the flavor of a lot of the dishes. The Sarma was good & the hot feta was good. Mantee was ok. Literally everything else was so bad. I had ordered the lentil kebbe because my Armenian aunt makes the best….it was so bad here I sent it back immediately. It tasted like mashed up lentil that were squeezed in someone’s hand. Nothing else. No salt not moisture. Just crumbling lentils.
The fatoosh salad didn’t even have onions or mint??? The entrees literally were a few pieces of meat, over cooked rice (as pictured), a tomato sliced in half and a chili……. I actually didn’t want any entrees, I was just willing to eat the apps. In La, there so many amazing places you could go for when craving kabob/ kofta..this will never be one of them lol.
I feel bad because my man tried his absolute hardest to plan the most wonderful evening (and he did!) but the food here was sooo disappointing. I would have rather went to our usual Lebanese spot (Hayats Kitchen).
We ended up just paying & leaving. I would not recommend coming here. I have a way better and bigger portion of mantee at Zephers Cafe. I won’t deviated from the usuals any more 😭

Paid 80 dollars for 10 pieces of over cooked inedible mantee, a mouses portion of boureg, and 1 small side. The food was terrible and the service worse. I called the restaurant to let them know the mantee was like eating rocks and gravel (even drenched in yogurt and tomato sauce), instead of offering an apology he told me it’s supposed to be like that. Since it’s supposed to be like that, I felt compelled to write this review to inform others to avoid this place like the plague. You eat here to get hustled not to get nourished.

We had the waiter suggest several dishes for us. They were all incredibly delicious, fresh and hot. Can't wait to go back! Sat outside and it was very cozy and warm.

The experience here was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food stood out for its bold, unique flavors. Compared to many other Middle Eastern spots I’ve tried, this one really impressed me; especially the Kebah Neya. I’d definitely return if I’m in the area again—but it’s not quite worth a long drive out of the way.

My favorite place for a delicious plate of mantee ( aka the best food ever) I have had mantee in a million different places and this mantee is by far the best! All of the their other food is also delicious! The environment is very cozy and nice, and the staff is always super helpful! The food also comes super fast! If you ever looking for a delicious meal, definitely try Mantee Cafe!

First and last time buying mantee. Mantee portion was too small. I paid $55 for a small plate that wouldn't be enough even for one person. RIDICULOUS

Food was terrible, they brought the bread out and it had mold on it. Everything else was just ok at best. The service was great.
I was very pleased with the total experience. I came from the South Bay and chose the restaurant because of the reviews on line. It was very good food and excellent service. Prices are reasonable, not too much food or too expensive.

I have been coming here for quite a while with my family, and every single time we visit, it turns out to be the best experience due to the exceptional service we receive. We truly enjoy the atmosphere and the attention to detail that makes our time here so special.

Great food & service-pleasant atmosphere. The Mante was very tasty. Mohamara is a must.

Every dish was spicy. The dishes are very tiny and the prices are pretty high. Service is also slow . Overall we are not really enjoyed our dinner.
