Phenomenal, authentic and delicious food 😋. Every bite reminds me with my happy childhood when I was in Syria, as if every delicious bite brings a happy memory that I thought I lost forever. To me ; it's not just a very delicious food but it is a very memorable happy experience one bite at a time 😋. Thank you 🙏 for all the wonderful team 👍at AL Manal Kitchen for their great customer service 😊 and courtesy. I will definitely recommend Al Manal Kitchen to all my friends and family.

Fantastic catering, our friends and family were very impressed with this delicious food! We will be ordering again, especially the Maqluba. My husband and I were fighting over the leftovers! Outstanding!

All the food from this kitchen is absolutely amazing! I’ve tried a variety of dishes — including kousa mahshi, yalanji, kabab hindi, and fatteh makdous — and every single one was delicious. The flavors are authentic, the quality is excellent, and you can really taste the homemade touch. Highly recommended for anyone craving truly authentic and flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine!
