Amazing food. Great portions and much to bring home. Appetizers excellent. Enough to share. The bread alone is worth the trip. So fresh, it's too hot to touch. We'll be back!

This place is legit. My parents are from Iraq and I was born in Detroit, MI surrounded by Middle Eastern food. Haki (the owner) and the entire crew were awesome. The food was on point and authentic. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing! Hidden gem. I get the chicken shawarma wrap with extra side of garlic sauce. But everything here is delicious! Must try!

Have you ever looked at a piece of bread and thought that it looked better to sleep on than your pillows at home? That's how I felt after looking at Almanqal's pita bread. I swear I saw the guy at the table next to me break it open to take a nap inside. But this culinary experience is one that you do not want to sleep through. Whether you have their food in wrap or platter form, you are in for a special meal. The meats are somehow both crispy AND juicy, the veggies are fresh, and the plethora of dips are incredibly flavorful. The gyro here was exactly what I needed. The crispy golden fries were the ideal dipping vessel to experience the 4 options that you can get with the mezze platter. Spicy hummus was the winner for sure, but you can't go wrong with any of them. A special shoutout to the cauliflower too. I'm always impressed when a restaurant can make cauliflower into an elite dish. Sometimes it's hard to choose between options on 45th street, but Almanqal stands out.

My partner and I came in for a weekend lunch since we were craving some Mediterranean food. The interior is a little confusing haha. The vibes are kinda woodsy cabin especially with the antler chandelier, but also had lots of evil eye decorations. Nonetheless, it was cozy and homely. We were greeted by the owner, we ordered and paid at the counter and sat at a table. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, and we shared a fried cauliflower appetizer that their entrees come with. The fried cauliflower was delicious. It's not really deep fried or anything, but has enough "roastiness" to boost its flavor. Chicken shawarma wrap was juuuuicy. Chicken was flavorful and tender, sauce brought the pita, chicken and veggies together. Fun bonus! They give super fresh super hot pita for the table and the bite of beef kofta I had was also really flavorful and juicy. Overall, glad we stumbled on this place. Has solid food!

Ate in once years ago and remember it's warm and cozy feel. Got takeout last week and the warmth came with the food! Food is always delicious, albeit a bit pricey. But everything tastes super fresh! Baba ghanoush is smooth and smoky (note: only comes with 1 piece of pita, wasn't enough). Fried cauliflower is probably my favorite side! Fattoush is the only mediocre item I wouldn't recommend (soggy, flavorless). Greek fries are big, raw garlic forward, but good. Vegetarian option is falafel, and it's good!! Nothing ground breaking, but reliably delicious and filling every time. Always happy to return
