Al-Manara Restaurant — Restaurant in Montpellier

Before booking a table at Al-Manara, I had read conflicting opinions concerning this restaurant, therefore I was not really sure about my choice. On the one hand there were enthusiastics opinions about nice and abundant food. On the other hand it seemed that the waiters were not that nice and that you had to wait ages to eat.

This place has a restaurant and next door you get mostly the same food but quicker and cheaper. The owner was very nice and they were flexible enough to prepare us a vegan mezze plate. For the shawarma plate we had to bargain a bit, as it usually just comes with fries an meat only as it seems. Nevertheless, most of the things tasted good, just the bread was old and hard already. Side note: be careful when you sit on the door - sometimes beggars come in, but the staff tried to keep them outside...
