Mannoush Cuisine in Waltham Forest

Excellent food, good price and warm service. Lovely mix grill!

The food looked and smelled lovely. The service was fast via uber eats. Unfortunately the food was really under-seasoned, lacking even basic salt in the meats. Especially the lamb and grilled chicken. I ordered lamb sambusek, they arrived on top of salad? I mean why? They went all soggy, soaking up the juices of the salad and ruined their taste. The hummus tasted very bitter, my son couldn’t eat it, although he loves hummus. The wings, ribs and lambs all tasted flavourless. The bulgar was dry. The potato battata harra tasted like it was yesterday’s potatoes. I had so much expectations from this place but unfortunately was left disappointed. Presentation was lovely and salad was very fresh. Lots of complimentary sauces given. The portion was generous and plenty for everyone.

Gone down hill. Chicken shawarma lacked flavour and was barely cooked. Chips really thin and soggy.

Don’t order from this place , I sat there waiting for over a hour for the food , for them to only Cancel my order after waiting

After an hour of waiting for food on Uber eats, order gets cancelled, don’t order from here. Left hungry. Didn’t even have the decency to pick up phone.

Delicious and affordable! The chicken wrap is a highlight.

do not order online, food arrives burnt and cold - not worth your money

Not gunna be coming here again, do better

The food quality in this place is questionable. I tried it a few times and it always felt weird comparing to authentic places. As a Middle Eastern person i wouldn’t recommend this place

God I love eating here, been coming for over 10 years, it's always great. The falafel and halloumi wrap is a star, the chicken, rice and salad dishes are also good. Try their batata harra aswell.

It’s the best kebab in Walthamstow

The guy who works here in the evening is extremely rude and needs customer service training, the other guy who works earlier in the day is great, the food is mediocre and has dropped in quality, the chicken is very dry.

Great food - reasonably priced - friendly staff- quick service - ethically right: brilliant combination

The worst shawarma I had in my life full of fat made me sick never again

Could have had abit more flavour on lamb chops no flavour bit runner there chickens are amazing and there kebabs are nice

Usually I take sandwiches from here ,it s clean and fresh with good taste.

Good food, affordable 👌 prices and very good service. Thank you everyone 💓

Verry good service and people....

Delivery: food was nice but slightly on the dryer side, especially the chicken.

Just ordered food via uber eats and everything is burnt. Absolutely disgusting!!!! Inedible food, what kind of restaurant is this. Food and money in the bin!!!!!

I ordered delivery from here many teams over the years because it was pretty much the only Lebanese delivery I could get. The food was great generally but after a couple of orders I felt a bit sick. It seems like their food safety standards slip sometimes. I don’t know why they do this. It lets the whole place down. I refuse to order from here anymore because this unacceptable.

I go there once or twice a month because I like their grilled chicken taste, which tastes kinda organic (maybe because it is halal), must have a good seasoning and it keeps me going there once in a while, the downside is that to eat in looks too old inside, it would do with a new modern look (decoration with happy colours) I know is not related with the food quality but maybe they will take this advice and it will benefit their business 😉. The younger guys are more friendly towards a request to take away part of the food I didn't want to eat there, I had a short break from work and sometimes I can't finish the nice portion they serve, the old man was in a rush and e tried to rush me into paying faster because he wanted to attend the next customer, when I asked about if I could take away part of the food I was buying he gave me a lecture about that that I told him it was unnecessary, and I just asked a question, I paid and I stayed, later he apologised but I hope that he realises that he shouldn't rush customers who genuinely are there to consume their food, nobody has to be rude about a question related with take away their food, just be nice and your customer will feel welcome and come back more often. I am not revengeful otherwise I would not give them four stars, I really like the food, only had once a bad experience that can be overcome. Their food quality deserves it and also the other staff members have been very friendly too, I'm not perfect too I just hope we all can improve from our mistakes 🙏

Food is okay to good but incredibly rude and greedy service. I bought chips for my child along with a chicken. I had the audacity to add ketchup to the chips so my child could eat and the owner complained about using his ketchup and the fact that the chicken comes with sauce (not ketchup) and if he had known he would not have given the sauces. Shameful and unnecessarily greedy behaviour. I for one won't come here again. It's not the first time I experienced bad service here but this was way off.

Very bad service, please Aviod. Made me wait 1 hour and then cancelled my order.

The place is rubbish, the manager is not professional dumbest man I have ever seen. Place is very messy Cant describe the character of staff theyre all impolite. We were 4 people, and there was no place to sit, I approached, explained my stance that nowhere to sit, because 2 people sitting on a table for 4, and talked politely like a normal guy, and got responded that I am nobody and they will decide their problems by some “Manager”. Zero! They first take your money and does not organise anything at all! Its not the 1st time, its second time in a week!

Our family absolutely love Mannoush! We’ve lived nearby for the last 4 years and it’s been a regular go to on takeaway nights. The staff are always friendly and on more than one occasion we’ve opened the bag at home to find some cheeky baclava inside! I’m a vegetarian and there are plenty of delicious options, the felafel and halloumi wraps are both great, so are the salads. My family all eat meat and love the different wraps and main options, my husband is a big fan of the lahem meshwi. The restaurant itself isn’t huge, but its got its charm with a big window where you can watch the hustle and bustle of the high street while you enjoy your food. I couldn’t recommend Mannoush highly enough. They’re the best!

Got a delivery - absolutely delicious. Loads of flavour, quality produce. Thanks 🙏🏽

Terrible service from this restaurant. Rude when on the phone and lie about Uber drivers not arriving when THEY are the ones who are delayed in processing the order. Disgraceful.

I left 5 stars a few years ago. Now, i have to change as see in the pictures. I ordered online. I have eaten half way and spotted a fly in shwarma. Now, i will never go to this take or order again.

Really yummy wraps. Chicken is full of flavour.

A small friendly shawarma / kebab shop. Decent menu, food was fresh ..decent prices. I will return

My life revolves around Mannoush. Thank you for your service, the food is amazing.

It has become a regular spot for me and my husband 😅

Friendly with great customer service

Worst customer service, no tissue, no fork, I ordered lamb shawarma take away which I was expecting tissue and fork, nothing was inside the bag, I was told by the person who took my order to ask for it which is very strange, lamb shawarma was unpleasantly wet of fat, (pre cooked not fresh) I don’t recommend to waste your money for such a poor service and dirty food, 👎👎👎👎👎👎

Undercooked meat, definitely not enough sauce, no one even asks what kind of sauce you want and which vegetables... you get it in a container and goodbye, and the waiting time is 30 minutes 🙄

Sharwama was cold, tasteless and soggy salad. AVOID!!!

It was really nice falafel, thank you.

I ordered the mixed shawarma wrap. I took the first bite and discovered raw chicken. Not undercooked, but RAW, as can be seen in the photos. I then opened up the wrap and found even more raw chicken. This is disgraceful and not what I expected from an Arab-owned institution. What an embarrassment to our cuisine. I ate the Kibbeh and am feeling sick now too. Am sure it must have also been slightly underdone as the coating was still very soggy and had no crunch to it. خجلتونا والله. اتوقع احسن من مطعم عربي!

A wholly dissatisfying experience. Half of the lamb was like chewing gum, the other half was dry enough to start a fire. They forgot to put halloumi in the halloumi wrap and also almost forgot to bag our chips before we left the shop, in hindsight it would have been a small mercy as the chips were soggy, bland and oily. Needless to say, urgent improvement is necessary, do not recommend.

Came back to mannoush after a few years the restaurant still looks the same as it did many years ago (not a bad thing) if I remember correct the plates used to be bigger, if you are looking to eat in this is a small restaurant it has about 4 or 5 tables and 15 chairs it's a very nice local restaurant nothing fancy so it's ideal quick bites in my opinion this restaurant is far better than some of the fancier restaurant nearby. So we went in Saturday evening about 9:30 was fairly busy we found one available table our orders were lamb shawarma with rice(£15) absolutely amazing exactly what we were looking for can't go wrong you can swap the rice for chips second order was half chicken and chips(£8.50) also was very nice above average and the last order was lamb ribs with chips(10.50) which was just short of average it's not the usual ribs that I am used to. Three main and two drinks came to £36. Overall I would say this place is worth a try take away or eating in.

Customer service is really poor, will need to find another place to go

Food is good but the service lacks a lot to be desired. I stated 3 times it was to take away. After repeating myself for the 3rd time to a second person he got irate when I said I've told you guys twice already & was rude.

very rude people, they made the mistake and then try to blame it on the delivery driver. Don't order from this knock off lebanese place

Lovely restaurant with great food and friendly staff

I have not received my order from the restaurant. If you can’t accommodate an order you better not accept it or cancel it yourself. Would never order from them again!

Not what was in the photo, less food. A whole kebab was missing.

Ordered with Uber eats. They called the driver who set off then cancelled. So I waited further more for my food to be picked up. I could see the driver was waiting at the restaurant, yet my food was ready because it had been picked up once. The driver than made another stop on the way to me. What has happened is that the restaurant sent my order but called it back to add the extra stop, it’s cheaper for them to have one driver make several deliveries. The restaurant does not pick up the phone, they keep it off the hook. It takes 10 minutes max to prepare falafels, it took them 45 minutes to deliver. Once received, the tahini had spilled into the carrier bag and the food was all over the place as shown in photos. The falafels were rock hard. The restaurant should not have asked that first driver to pick up and should answer their phone and not let it off the hook. It is not Uber eats nor their drivers fault, but how the restaurant uses them. It’s to the disadvantage of their customers. I’ll never order again

Edit: I decided to try again after 4 years (the review below is 4 years old). Delivery has missing drinks!! Unbelievable 🤦 Most recent takeaway, ordered via their own website, took over an hour to arrive. Food was cold when it got here and the 2 cokes we ordered were missing. We emailed about the cokes and nobody replied so I walked in to the restaurant to discuss it with them, they took my mobile number and said they would contact me but so far they haven't. They've just lost a regular customer.

I made my first order from here. It was chicken shawarma, and I can say it was very tasty! BUT unfortunately it came cold as it was simply wrapped in a paper so it cooled down very quickly on the way. My advice when ordering online ask for silver foil wrapping. Will be getting from here again . Think you!

The person on the till is very rude. It's not expensive to be a good person.Food is standard.But totally disappointed with the service of the man on the till.

food is good，but service is so worst, because tissues only have one, i ask counter what may I have more tissues,pls He only give me one , when I ask more pls, he’s very unhappy and just give only one. I will never come back!!!

Very bad food please don't waste your money. Very Very bad food sent meat was smelling even the sauces were off.

Very rude person at the till, doesn't listen to customers orders . People preparing food wer good . But not the till . I specially asked for no sauces and cabbage for one of the sandwich ,yet I found it full of chilli

Really good place right at the start of Walthamstow market to visit with friends and family.

You can tell when food is made with love and this is definitely not it. The food has an identity crisis and can not be called Lebanese food at all. I ate it today again after many years (stopped going due to multiple occasions of rude staff to myself or customers I saw being spoken to badly and because of chewy meats etc) and low and behold, again, it was chewy chicken and dry. The shawarma on the other hand was like somebody opened an ocean preventing flood gate in a tight alley as a powerful current of pickle juices, sauces, and tomato water left the wrap nearly drowning myself and my ancestors. Monsoon season. Never again.

Eat 🐟 it's nice 👍 and reasonable price.

When they get it right, the food is awesome. But they mess up frequently. On one occasion the salad tasted disgusting and had probably been left out too long or was old, on another occasion they didn't add any sauce to the shawarma even though I had left a note for them to do so. Very hit and miss.

Mannoush Lebanese Restaurant used to be one of my favourite restaurants but sadly the way the staff spoke to me was horrible and completely unprofessional. Although, I ordered whole grill chicken with rice I went to use the sauces which was on the table for eat in customers but the guy at the counter started arguing and saying I was not allowed to use the sauce as it was for customers. I was very upset about this as I explained that whether I was taking takeaway or eating in I was still a customer and had same rights to use the sauce. Very disrespectful and unprofessional. I hope that the restaurant learn from this and learn how to speak to their customers!

Delicious takeaway, great portion, you'll see me back a lot

I have never ever left a review right after eating food before but this is a special occasion. I have never tried food so fresh, tasty, and overall delicious. I ordered the food on Uber eats and when it arrived everything was neatly packed they also gave me a complimentary drink on the side and the food was just outstanding definitely a 9/10 and I have never given a 9/10 before will definitely order again and recommend this place to friend and family.

Favourite place in my neighbourhood for Middle Eastern food. Consistently high quality for years. Large menu, fresh ingredients, and always friendly service.

Geat falafel wrap! Good price as well.

OMG THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IVE BEEN TO LIKE THE FOOD IS POPPING LIKE IM NOT LYING WHEN I SAY THIS BUT WHEN I TAKE BITES OF IT MY STOMACH GET BUTTERFLIES AND I FEEL LIKE IM FLOATING THIS FOOD IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

I have to come back and say was a big change after my review. Happy about result. So the food is very good and the prices are affordable. Lovely customer service. See you to Mannoush!!!👌👍👏

Really great food, not much seating but friendly staff

One of the best meals I’ve had from East London. Incredible flavour, freshness and the portion sizes are huge! Yum 😋

Amazing food!! The meat was cooked perfectly, and the people are really nice. I will come back!

I order the shish taouk wrap a few days a week and it is perfect everytime! Amazing flavours and pairs very well with their homemade chilli sauce which is also placed at tables if you'd like to add more! Careful, it packs a punch.

Buddy shawarma around for miles!

Great food, and lovely atmosphere

Good.. but not as good as it used to be. Meat has been a bit overcooked last few times but im sure was just a blip

I ordered a chicken wrap for breakfast. There was about 10% chicken and 90% salad in the wrap. I would not recommend.

Best chicken Shish and welcoming staff

Vi var 4, Bestilte derfor mixed platte til 4-5 - kunne ikke spise bare det halve.

Came here for a quick stop, got a kofte that was dry and had no flavour at all, they had pies that looked like pizza slices but was dry and also hard. Lamb was very hard. Not a fan and probably won't return

The steak was well overdone, dry and tough to the point that I could not even eat it all.

It's one of the best Lebanese restaurants in the area. The food is amazing and authentic, especially try there batata harra.

Tavuk ve sulu yemek ağırlıklı bir lübnan mutfağı temiz bir ortam ama küçük bir restoran

Called in for some food to go. All was nice and hot and well packaged. Would definitely go to again, feels authentic.

A most awesome place for shawarma. The manager was very warm and welcoming, the food was superb, and if I had to complain, it would be about the small space it has. Still, it was worth waiting to have a seat as the food was superb. Highly recommended.

Good food, healthy. Some times late delievery by 10 min. Over all very good. Recommended.

Never again! Portions are the smallest ever, literally 100gr. (Measured) of meat for £11.50 - with a bunch of bulgur and 3 slices of tomatoes. One word: thieves.

Unexpected lovely lunch. Would definitely recommend.

Ordered a mixed platter for 2, shared amongst 3 people quite comfortably so there was plenty of food to go around. Included a mix of kebabs, shawarma, rice, bread, salad and sauces. Whilst the seasoning used is good, the meats dried out a little too much, so it lacked the juiciness you expect in the meats. A similar story with the shawarma too. The rice was cooked fine, the salad was good and the sauces were great. I do wonder if the food experience is better when dining in - I certainly hope so. The prices are affordable, so this does it make it a good local option for grabbing a quick meal and it does appear to be popular with the local community. A little more care with cooking the meats and shawarma to ensure they are tender would elevate the dish.

Tbh Unprofessional staff unhappy manager. Ordered mix shaurma with mixed rice but got only white rice while I asked for red rice manager start argue even I haven’t had problems pay for it ,and also they doesn’t serve drink u need to get it yourself food was cold and old

What's Lebanese about this place?

One of the best Lebanese grills in London

Lebanese food, a bit like turkish food. It's a diner, quick service and food is good. Alot cheaper than a restaurant.

After trying on a few occasions, sadly I've had to write a review to express how disappointed I am in the food I've received over these orders. I'm fairly confident that the owners are not Lebanese. The fattoush was mostly tomato and onion, with a poor balance of the individual components that make up this dish. Lacking in the fried bread and cucumber that adds the crunch that any lover of fattoush is looking for. The shawarma on both occasions has been okay but the addition of red cabbage was unnecessary and drenched the bread which made the wrap soggy and wet. The Creme Toum (Garlic sauce) served with the dish was extremely lacking in flavour. It tasted mostly like water that had been emulsified with garlic and oil. Usually there's a strong kick of garlic which is cut through by the acidity of lemon which was certainly lacking in Mannoush's attempt at this dip. I also struggle to understand why their tomato chunks are cut so big. I appreciate Fattoush isn't Tabbouleh, so I was still expecting chunks, but the pieces of Tomato were WAY too big. There aren't many Lebanese restaurants in Walthamstow, so I really want to have a place I can order from that reminds me of home, but this place isn't it yet. Please improve so I can order in future!

If you like Lebanese food, this is the place. Well prepared food, quick service and I guarantee you won’t leave hungry - portion sizes are generous and price is good too. Full recommendation from me, I’m glad I live nearby so I can come often!

One time chicken was not cook second time lamb has a big garbage meat inside and stomach ache disgusting. You ask something about menu I can answear they told ask at the cashier. Total waste of money and time

Update. Recently went back there a few times for a shawarma wrap each time upset stomach for 3/4 days.

Second time that food arrives completely mashed up

Went to eat in last nite and he was empty and refused and was only 10 30 lost business n customer for life. Arrogance doesnt get you far also started talkikg in there own language as i enetered the shop with my friends found that highly rude

Long wait and chips don’t taste nice yuck not worth £20 YUCKKK

Tried the grilled chicken, and it was awesome.

Disaster, Rude cashier, rubbish customer service and aggressive behaviour. Will never come back to this miserable people.
