What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Manna Cafe & Bistro is highly praised for its delicious and generously portioned food, particularly the breakfasts. The friendly and welcoming staff contribute to a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. While some reviews mention the Ethiopian food is good, there are conflicting reports regarding its authenticity and overall experience.
"Great food! Worth the high reviews. Ordered the Goat Cheese Mousse and Fish Cakes. Very delicious. We were the only ones in the restaurant and were hesitant, but it was not warranted. Food was awesome. Worth a visit if in the area. Lots of shopping nearby and cheap parking nearby. Thank you for the memorable meal!"
Colin Leung
"We had a really enjoyable breakfast at Manna. It was a weekday morning, so they were able to seat us immediately (though the place was still pretty busy). We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and iced lattes."
Maddy Eichenberg
"Lovely lunch menu, very reasonably priced for the large size of portions. Would highly recommend the Club sambo & Cajun chicken ciabatta (seen in photo). Hot chocolates lovely too"
