About Manoush w Saj

Craigieburn Rd starts early here with stone-baked flatbreads and home-style Middle Eastern morning spreads. The kitchen fires crisp zaatar and cheese pies to order alongside blistered saj folds. Regulars lean into the warm hospitality from resident cook Umm Khalil, sharing loaded bowls of creamy fatteh, rich foul with tahini, and crunch-heavy falafel straight from the fryer. Breakfast platters arrive stacked with halloumi, labneh, olives, and fluffy Iraqi samoon.

  • Scratch-Cooked Morning Spreads: Traditional hot breakfast dishes like creamy fatteh, msabaha, and foul with tahini are prepared fresh from scratch rather than standard bakery counter fare.
  • Chef-Led Hospitality: Freshly baked flatbreads, crispy falafel, and loaded share platters arrive with personal tableside checks from the kitchen.

  • Personal Touch from the Head Chef

    A welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere where the resident chef personally prepares traditional recipes and checks in on guests.

    The chef herself came out to check if everything was good, and she prepared the most delicious masabha, foul, and falafel with her assistants.
