Every time we came for lunch or dinner to Mantee,we felt like coming to family & friends house:great Armenian food,the best caring owner RAFFI-jan & our favorite waiter,Jake (aka Hakop),who is always taking care of our endless dinners with Armenian friends & also super nice ambiance with patio . We will keep going to Mantee & recommend it to everybody we know. Merci!
Very quaint indoor outdoor seating. Very comfortable and relaxed environment. Service was good. Asked the waiter for recommendations, he suggested the fattoush salad, eggplant wraps and a hot filet tomato dish, all very flavorful. Excellent choice. I will recommend.
I am now a regular at this lovely neighborhood Mediterranean restaurant. I love the fattoush, the hummus, the kabobs, the rice, the Kings delight, the dolma, basically there is nothing I have eaten at this restaurant that I haven't loved. I am grateful that it is in my neighborhood. Stop by if you are near and give it a try.
Amazing service, patio, course by course recommendations. Delicious experience!
My wife and I were introduced to Mantee by friends and we quickly became regulars. The food is consistently amazing in a quaint, backyard like setting. A friendly staff and owner make this a gem of a restaurant, not only in the valley but all of SoCal.
We love Mantee Cafe! We live in Ojai and every time we venture down to LA we enjoy dinner at Mantee. Fantastic Armenian food. Everyone will love this place!
My husband and I had dinner there last night. Loved this charming little restaurant!! The waiters were very attentive and very warm and friendly. We had the hummus to start, and then we shared the Branzino, which was perfectly cooked, and it came with little crispy potatoes, everything was delicious 💕We topped it all off with Baklava for dessert, and also enjoyed the wine. Hope to go back very soon❤️
I have never enjoyed such wonderful Armenian cooking, I shall be back. Thanks for a delicious meal. It was a new experience for me. The service was outstanding ..The place was sweet and cozy. Thanks again and I shall be back in the very near future.. Good job
Very nice place and very good food !! But the service not Realy good 😊
We always enjoy this little gem of a restaurant! Deliciously prepared food, and excellent service...highly recommended by us.
We went back to Mantee Cafe last night for the first time since moving out of Studio City and oh man what a reunion! This is the best Mediterranean restaurant in all of LA. We were reunited with all our old favorites, like fattoush Salad (you won't find better anywhere and purslane is in season) Mohummara, Basterma with Quail Egg, the succulent filet mignon kebab, soujuk in our hummus (the best hummus ever), dolma with yogurt (can't har too much yogurt) and of course traditional Mantee hot out of the oven - sizzling tomato stock poured over the top of baked beef filled dough then a special garlic yogurt sauce layered over with a sprinkle of sumac. Special stuff!!! (Regretting that we didn't order the hot feta and Tabouleh salad. We'll just have to make a trip back soon). Love you Mantee Cafe.
Mmm eggplant dolmas were divine as was chicken kabob. Patio super cute. Great service and reasonable. We'll be back!
Me gusta todo lo que sirven simplemente es rico y se los recomiendo que vengan a disfrutar de la comida
Once you eat at Mantee restaurant, you will want to go again and again.
Excellent tasting food and happy, cosy ambiance. THE BEST RESTAURANT IN CALIFORNIA!
My Husband visited this Cafe 8 years ago and insisted that I try it. Absolutely delicious, he said the same quality the same taste. I definitely loved it too. The dolma with yogurt is a must try and of course the mantee. To be honest I think everything in the menu will be delicious. And special thanks to the waiter 👍🏻
Excellent service, wonderful food and spacious spot. It’s a great place to bring kids.
We all really enjoyed our plates and the service we had. It was a smooth process throughout and they went beyond the norm to ensure we were comfortable. We appreciated that a great deal!
Would love to go again if the opportunity presents itself
Everything was so delicious specially their specialty the Mantee ,👏👏must try ,a pleasant little place .
The dessert was Soo good 👍🏼
I will sure go again some friends took us there was worthwhile.
Everything on the menu is delicious! I love this place and can’t recommend it highly enough. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is lovely, but the food is the real star of the show. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!
Beautiful rear courtyard, excellent service, Michael was our server and couldn't have asked for more. Try the lamb chops!
First time eating Armenian food. The food is pretty tasty and the service is also excellent. However, the price is on the higher end.
From the moment you walk in the sense of family, the charm of the surroundings and generosity of spirit the food delicious the dishes plenty incise the desserts scrumptious. And don’t forget authentic Armenian. Coffee’s delicious a real treat to go lunch or dinner. I’ll be back again and again. The owner is a wonderful woman treat you just like family.
Prices fair food good service excellent hag a great time manager was doing good job
Excellent food don't know why I have missed this gem of a hole in the wall. Beef Tartar was great!
I never write reviews for restaurants, but Mantee is probably one of our favorite restaurants. We go all of the time and have tried almost everything on the menu. The food, the service, and the environment are all excellent. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone. We take everyone here and our friends and family are just blown away.
Our meal was amazing. Which can be expected when visiting a Gold List restaurant. I had the sweet and sour kabob and my friend had the chicken kabob. Both really good. The atmosphere is upscale and quaint. The service was on point and we will definitely be returning.
Fantastic food, atmosphere, and service. First visit was on a date with the wife. The food was amazing and the atmosphere on the patio at night is very romantic. We went back with our children for Sunday afternoon brunch. The kids enjoyed everything including the Kadayef we had for desert. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Very cute little restaurant! The outdoor seating area ambiance is lovely. Very impressed with the food. I ordered the yogurt kebabs which was delicious! The tabouleh was very good, too. I would have given five stars but the bus boy took my plate that I had asked to have boxed up and he never ended up doing it. I was really looking forward to that kebab! Oh well, chalk it up to inexperience as he seemed new. No reflection on the food, though, it was excellent.
I have been going to this place for a while now. My original reason to stop by was because it is walking distance from my place. The menu is easy to read and understand even though the dishes are foreign. The service is phenomenal and the place is clean.
The food is by far the best in the area and they have lunch specials that are easy to order.
I think the prices are very fair considering the quality of the product.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good Armenian restaurant.
Make sure to order the Mantee dish.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in the valley. The food and service here is excellent. The place is small and you might wait a little bit but worth it. It is middle eastern and mediterranean food so understand that but it is the best tasting in the San Fernando Valley in my opinion.
Last time I was here I noticed portions were getting a little smaller but that could have been just me.
