" I really wanted to try this restaurant after hearing good things. While some items were excellent, others were just average. The falafel was exceptional but the grape leaves were a little bland for my taste. The service was pleasant but could be improved for a more streamlined experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Manara Cafe after hearing wonderful reviews, and they truly deserve all the praise! The service was stellar with a warm vibe. I had the falafel, and it was perfectly crispy. Their garlic sauce deserves special mention as it makes each dish even tastier. Strongly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I got the chance to eat here yesterday and I'm still thinking about the flavors. The combo plate is a must-try! Plenty of food, very tasty, but the service left something to be desired as it took a long time to get our food. However, once I tasted it, I knew it was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food, look no further! The falafel platter was top-notch, and the friendly staff made it a warm atmosphere. However, do keep in mind it might take a while during peak hours, but the food is definitely worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
