Similar to a pizza, Manakish can be eaten as a snack or a meal in itself.
The dish comes is four most popular flavors across the UAE, satiating every foodie. The first and most favorite is Zaa’tar- made of thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, and salt. There’s also a cheese version for cheese lovers, and a non-vegetarian version (meat of your choice) and a vegetarian version which comes packed with green, leafy vegetables.
This Could Probably Be UAE’s Longest Manakish & It Measures 101 CM

The signature manakish comes in five different toppings including akkawi cheese, laham mafroom or minced meat, muhammara- made of fresh peppers, ground walnuts, breadcrumbs, and olive oil, labneh and Cedar of Lebanon. Well, with so many toppings wrapped in one, this is certainly the most exotic makeover a Manakish can ever get.
