Manjay Restaurant — Restaurant in Doral

I stopped by Manjay during lunch after noticing a sign advertising a $12 lunch special while heading to Tropical Smoothie. I inquired about the special and was informed it was a pork bowl. Unfortunately, I don’t eat pork, and that was the only option for the lunch special. All other bowls were priced at the regular menu rate, which ranges between $17 and $21. That’s quite pricey for a lunch meal, in my opinion.

Despite the price, I decided to give it a try since I was already there. I ordered the Honey Jerk Chicken Bowl with red beans & rice and avocado salad. The total came to $21.42 after taxes and tip, and this was for just the bowl, no drink included.

The location was clean, and the staff was friendly, which I appreciated. As for the food, the bowl was very flavorful and well-prepared. However, considering the price point, it’s unlikely I’ll return. While the food was good, it’s a bit too expensive for a regular lunch option since I work in the area.

Such savory food! It was really good! I was a fan of the sauces that came with it too. I recommend the mango habanero sauce to go with your dish. I'm excited to try more from them!

If only they can remove a dollar off the menu and make it at $20 per bowl instead of $21, then I think it would be more enticing. Another thing are the knives that came with the meal don't cut very well. But as far as the taste of the food goes, it definitely is a must-try!

Also, just a head's up, the food served does not look like what is advertised inside their store in case you look for some of the components in the dish you're...

If you’re in Doral and craving bold, delicious Caribbean food, Manjay is the spot! It’s not inside the Doral Yard, but just a short walk away—and absolutely worth it. We ordered the jerk chicken bowl (my fave), and I love topping the tostones with their spicy pikliz. The Caribbean steak bowl with plantain fries was super flavorful, and the conch fritters were perfectly crispy. We also tried their Bib Burger—loaded with caramelized bacon and onions—and their lunch special, the Vaca Frita de Cerdo, which was citrusy, crispy, and SO good with black beans and rice. Portions are generous, the flavors are on point, and the whole vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend for lunch, dinner, or even catering if you’ve got an...
