"Manoush w Saj... Very pleasant breakfast here. I had the big breakfast which came with scrambled eggs, halloumi cheese, zataar, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, and labneh, all with a drizzle of olive oil. Everything was very fresh and enjoyable. The Iraqi samoon bread is nice and fluffy— if only they could serve it piping hot it would be amazing. Enjoy"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We visited this restaurant just an hour ago, and the experience was absolutely amazing! The food was so fresh and flavorful. Im Iraqi and honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. The chef herself came out to check if everything was good, and she prepared the most delicious masabha, foul, and falafel with her assistants. Even my kids, who usually don’t eat these dishes, loved every bite and enjoyed it so much. The service was perfect. the whole team served us with big smiles and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely rate this place 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try authentic, tasty food with outstanding service. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our visit so special! Thanks guys for the service."

"We stopped by Manoush w Saj in Craigieburn for a quick, casual breakfast before an appointment nearby, and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be. We ordered the big breakfast and a tray of falafel, and not only were the portions much larger than expected, but everything tasted absolutely delicious. The young lady who took our order and served us did so with a lovely smile, which made the experience even better. This will definitely become one of our go to places in Craigieburn. Great food, friendly service, and very reasonable prices, highly recommended."

"I ordered a surprise bag on TooGoodToGo, but unfortunately, it was sold out. Still, I really wanted to try it, so I went to the place, though I arrived a bit late. Luckily, I got to taste two delicious breads—one with spinach and cheese, and the other was probably beetroot. The bread was soft, fragrant, and chewy, and when toasted, it gave off an irresistible aroma . This was my first time trying it, and I’ll definitely be back to purchase again and taste different dishes next time!"

"If you're looking for an unforgettable meal, this place is the spot! The zaatar and cheese pie is an absolute standoutcrispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pies in general are fantastic, each bite filled with deliciousness. The falafel? Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. And don't even get me started on the msabhaeverything is just incredible! What really sets this place apart, though, is the chef, Em Khalil. She's not only a culinary genius, but she genuinely cares about her customers' experience. Her attention to detail and passion for what she does is evident in every dish. You can tell she puts her heart into it! All in all, I’d rate this place a solid 10/10. The food, the service, the atmosphereit’s all amazing. Highly recommend!"
