Mamnoon is a Lebanese restaurant located just across the street from the Starbucks Roastery. They have a few outside covered tables, a to-go window, and long counter, bar, and regular table seating in the dining room. The food is rather expensive but delicious, with careful attention to texture and appearance, as well as flavors. I especially enjoy their excellent vegetarian options. They make their own pita, and the baba ganoush and muhumarra are both wonderful as a snack or appetizer. The service has been inconsistent - sometimes great, sometimes very slow. For Seattle Restaurant week they offer a prix fixe menu. I ordered the crispy cauliflower appetizer, a spiced lentils and eggplant dish, and a small but mighty piece of baklava. All three were excellent. I can't afford their normal prices, but take advantage of special deals like their happy hour menu and Seattle Restaurant Week when I can.

Okay Mediterranean food and good ambiance but definitely not worth the high price. It's a good place to try labneh, which most places don't have.

Very cute ambience, easy to be seated but busy enough that you know it's good. There was eclectic decor and a slightly dark lighting that gave it a hip vibe. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Our table of six shared, baba ganoush, crispy cauliflower and falafel appetizers which were all small but great flavors. I got the spiced lentil dish, mujadara maqloubeh which was a generous portion of lentils that were seasoned well and had a mix of textures in the dish. I'd get it again.

Had such a great dinner here last weekend. Everything we ordered was delicious. Tried 3 different entrees and the mezze set of 4. Would order everything again. Service was a little off. Only reason not giving it 5 stars.

Food was delicious. Service was good but a little slow. I found some of the portions to be a little smaller than what I was expecting. I thought there would be two kafta skewers for the price of the dish. Interesting ambiance to say the least although I thought some of the decoration was a little weird. What's with the chickens hanging from the ceiling and the voodoo doll in the corner? Odd choice for a middle eastern restaurant. I'm happy I tried mamnoon and would definitely eat here again. The muhammara and fatoush were great! I wish hanoon was the same standard.

11/10, stumbled upon this place and wow what a great find ! Everything we had was so packed with flavor . Some stand outs were the Shamandar, Batata harra and the Levantine chocolate cake. Honestly everything we. Ordered was amazing - can't forget the pita and the dips. The service was great, staff were friendly and food came out fast. Really cool restaurant inside and plating was beautiful. We will absolutely go back and I cannot wait to ! Ps treat yourself to a side of whipped garlic - add it to everything! Also, incorporate all of the fresh herbs that come with your dishes- next level flavors !

One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle right now. Every person loved their dishes and cocktails. Reasonably priced and a fun ambiance for a night out with friends, date night, or happy hour. My recommendation is always order the Moushakal (mezza menu - sample of dips) and note extra pita is extra $s. You get to try everything by doing this and they're SO good. Cauliflower was a large dish good for sharing but typical in taste and style. I would try something different next time. Same with the Shish Taouk - signature chicken entree - but will try something different next time! Both delicious and highly recommended still. Order side of rice too. Really love this spot. I recommend it to others constantly and take guests here too. Always a hit and in a fun part of Cap Hill! Service: I've been here a couple times now. The final check situation is always confusing. Sometimes they will split the check. And other times the person is hard on one card. Just make an executive business decision for the restaurant. I tipped less than I would initially because my server was extremely rude about it.

Great vibe to be this place and also a very creative menu Came in for an early dinner and had a chance to order from the happy hour menu - I took the fatayer (the lamb version) which was very good - didn't feel like they were fried at the moment of the order which would even bump up the grade even more 4/5 I also took their interpretation to a fatteh - I tried the authentic version and this one was quite far - had a little bit of tahini and a lot of butter (should be the nugget way around ) and no ground beef/lamb. Also , a tad bit too salty. Not bad all together 3.5/5 The place seem quite trendy and the menu has some promising options . I might try it again next time in town
