?EAT THIS TONIGHT-

El Makhbaz El Lebnany El Asly is a quick fix for that shami craving. Hidden between long list of restaurants on Talabat, you’ll find this Lebanese delight that presents itself as a budget-friendly option of manakish only — and some traditional salads and appetizers — from the Lebanese kitchen.

What you see is what you get. Literally. The menu has a diverse array of manakish with different stuffing: Zaatar and labna, shish tawook, lahm arous and hummus, all at prices that undercut many competitors in the market.

Our choices were the plain shish tawook and halloumi cheese zaatar manoucheh plus hummus for dipping. Even though the chicken was plain and bland we believe that if we ordered it with the cheese it might’ve tasted better. The hummus dip did improve the bite, so we would suggest you go for an extra topping to make the pie more flavorful.

As for the cheese and zaatar mix,we gave it a solid 8/10. The zaatar was very fresh and fragrant but there was no cheese stretch — maybe stick it in the microwave for a good minute to activate that ooze? Other than that, this manoucheh tasted great on its own, or with the hummus — and finally, it goes without saying that we strongly recommend ordering their hummus.

It’s available on-ground and will deliver to Madinaty, Sixth October, Rehab, Sheikh Zayed, Maadi, and New Cairo — and if you opt for home delivery we can confirm that they’re quick on their feet. You’ll find their menu on Talabat.
