I have been going to eat lunch here for many weeks for the Chicken Salad. It is one of the best salads I have ever tasted. Staff keeps the place spotless, you really could sit on the floor to eat it is that clean. They close Monday thru Wednesday at 2PM sharp, but are open to 8PM Thur, Fri &... More

The atmosphere may have some limitations but this place makes up for that in the food. As one reviewer stated, Lubbock is lucky to have a restaurant like this. Hummus was so-so. The gyro platter was very good. I prefer fries over rice, but the rice is good too. You will not be disappointed. This is an excellent place to... More

Excellent food and ambience. A great place for a quiet dinner or tapas with someone special or a small group of friends.

We often meet for lunch at Manara's. Always helpful and friendly staff. This place is very casual and we have to occasionally ask for something. But no big deal. The food is good and very fresh. The salads as well as the gyros are great! Never been here in the evening.

It's a casual place but with good gyros. I had a friend take me while I was in town and it was pretty yummy for around Lubbock. Only reason I rated it a 4 is because the service lacked while we were there but the food was good if you can get past the service.

Very poor quality food. It did not live up to the reviews. Hummus looked pretty but was bland--likely out of a can. The olive oil drizzled on top was stale. Pita bread served with it was grocery store quality. Chicken sharwma sandwich contained very bland chicken in an incredibly greasy sauce. Kofta in the kofta pita sandwich tasted like it... More
