Casual Lebanese spot on Rue de Rennes serving tasty shawarma and mezze at fair prices, with occasional service and portion-size inconsistencies.
Manal delivers reliable Lebanese comfort food with strong grilled meats and fresh mezze when execution is on form, supported by genuinely warm and welcoming service. However, inconsistent execution—cold items, dry falafel, occasional reheating—prevents grade A territory, and modest sandwich portions relative to price temper overall value perception. Worth visiting for shawarma quality and friendly atmosphere, but expect occasional off-nights.
One caveat: Sandwich portions can be thin; add sides to feel full
