As a child growing up in Abu Dhabi, there are some bakeries that have been around since forever. My first Zaater Manakish was from Saada Bakery. As a kind, I used to visit this place with my dad to pick fresh baked Qubus, and always had a little indulgence on the zaater or cheese manakish.
They have stood the test of time, and to date, serve awesome manakish!!!
Al Saada bakeries have by far the most delicious manakish.
Must try:
Extra zaatar
Cheese and olives
Perfect choice for breakfast and friendly staff
Best manakeesh in town!! been ordering from them meat and cheese and mix cheese! it's the best!! Keep it up you guys!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
We had breakfast from here yesterday. Had ordered takeout and the food was pretty good. We had ordered zaatar manakeesh and jibneh. The food was still warm and the bread was still soft when brought home. The price is also reasonable. This will be my favourite spot for manakeesh hereafter.
This is a historical place according to my opinion. This place was open since we were in school and until now it still serves the best zatar manakish ever. The zatar has not changed in anyway and still has the same delicious taste. I recommend the zatar strongly in this place. Ask the staff to put more zatar in the manakish and make the dough soft.
+ cheese w meat manakish, cheese manakish.
+ Service is quick!
+ servers are super friendly and nice!
+ Manakish is made fresh and soooo good!
- Manakish is a little bit oily.
Been eating from Al Saada since 1990 and it has been the same taste forever. Best place to have fresh manakeesh. Recommend it to all over UAE.
A good place to have some freshly prepared manakish.
Though, I wouldn't recommend them for sweets
They have few tables for dining in which is good if you like to eat your manakish oven-hot.
Staff can be more friendly
I went there first in the late 90s. They serve one of the best manakish in town. The Cheese (Jibnah), Zatar and Meat (Laham) are excellent; and their combinations are amazing. Must try.

Zaatr and cheese with meet is favourite

Best Manakeeshes in town. Open 23 hours, smiling staff, freshly baked and all their varieties taste delicious. They are not stingy with their toppings, can mix and match and cost a reasonable price. However, I am not a fan of their desserts. Fatayers, mini pizzas, samosas, baked Khubz, breads...like them too.
The cheese arayes sums up the review for this place. Somehow I like the dough here than most places for manakeesh. It's not that expensive. The staff is pretty good. And they have a big bunch of followers who never stop coming here.
In my opinion... the oldest and one of the best bakeries in the city. Their manakeesh and zaatar sandwiches are superb. Their sweets are also a must try !!
Lovely Lebanese pastries delights. Best place to get your mankoucheh.
My favorite is the zaatar with labeneh and vegetables.
You can opt for a multi-cereal dough
Now is it just me or the place is a replica of Al Reef Lebanese Bakery in Dubai ?.
* Well , once you try the Manakeesh ... then its a different story .
Forget all what you had before , the cheese w/ eggs manakeesh are on a new Level of Awesomeness , i tried the cheese and spinash also , it really left an impression.
However , small pastries , and Kebbeh are useless .
The most delicious manakeesh in the world (and I love manakeesh and have tried them everywhere I went whether its turkey or london or a syrian restaurant in paris).
The quality is superb, cheese is melted and just right and the meat or zataar or labaneh is a blessing to your taste buds.
Anything and everything is great here, some times annoying when ordering when people just push in out of turn it place the Order, you know what I mean!! But just for the sake of the food I go there all the time, lovey snacks and pastries !!!
Have bought Manakesh Meat & Cheese from there few times , really tasty and economically priced.
I just wish this bakery was near my place so that I could frequent it more often :)
My first choice for breakfast. Their deliveries starts from 7:30 which is great.
Always freshly baked and good taste. I just don't like that despite how close your place could be to this bakery, they will still ask you to make order above 30DHS :/ !! Like why?
I used to work at a hospital that is right next to the bakery and they would always refuse the order if it's for less than 30.
Note: they don't have the fastest delivery, so you better make up your mind quickly and wait :D
They have the best mnakesh cheese and meat
I love their mnakesh it's fresh and the bread not heavy , full of cheese ...
Recommend
One of the oldest and best bakeries in town and they do provide healthy protein and wholewheat bread in affordable prices. Recommended for diabetics :)
One of the good bakeries, they have many kind of deserts and sweets.. the pastries/Manaqeesh are amazing and very good... you can order it with brown bread/crust...
The best manaqeesh around town and at a bargain price. Also available at 4 in the morning after a late Thursday outing!
Friendly and attentive staff.
One of my favourite manaqeesh bakeries. I tried it once and i have been trying it since my first trial. The most thing i like is their dough, they have a brown dough this makes them unique comparing to other bakeries. The chicken zatar mix and meat cheese mix are the best they have. The zatar manaqeesh is not preferable it tastes dry. Conclusion: the best they have are their variety of mixed manaqeesh.
This places dishes out one of the best Manakesh I have ever had.
I feel bit of sense of this ciy and its culture when I go here, really old bakery of anothe era, just continuing to do what they have done all these long years. The Manakesh is really tasty. You could ask them to put basically anything on them cheese, laben, zaatar, olives, vegetables, fruits, salaami etc, you could even bring something and ask them to put it on your manakesh.
At only 5 dhs, the brown makaesh is a great value breakfast. Everything else in the bakery is rather uninspiring to buy, they clearly are not bothered by your impulses.
Service can be a little irritating when the place is busy.
