HALAL SUMMARY
The owners of this restaurant are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status.
★★★★★ Menessa serves different cuisines and fast food and has something for everyone in the family!
The kids love the chicken shawarma sandwich and chicken nuggets both of which come with chips/french fries. The nuggets are actually small chunks of chicken breast and not the typical processed chicken nuggets. The portion is also quite big so it may be too much for one child.
The spicy tibs were excellent and we will be ordering more of those when we go again. The tibs is served in a big plate and is good for two adults and one child. The Doro Ageigil was from couple pieces of chicken ("doro"), spicy sauce and Ingira. This dish was okay but too sour for us. Chicken and rice was also good.
We also tried the special burgers. The buns are quite big but the actual meat patty and fillings are less. The cheese slice was poor and in future we will tell them to make it without the cheese. The samosas took forever to come - almost towards the end of the meal.
There are three sitting areas. The main hall is the size of a family room with around eight tables. There are two adjacent family rooms where you have to sit on the floor. Also there is another sitting area before you get inside the main dining area.
I hear this is a relatively new restaurant. So far it has been a good experience and we will continue going there. Posted on January 31, 2016
