Sooo good! - Edit
This is one of my favourite places in Cork. Everything I’ve tried has been extremely delicious. The maneesh (flatbread) is perfection!

Delicious authentic Palestinian food in Cork City! - Edit
Delicious, fresh food with complex flavours and specifically listed vegan dishes. Loved the taster starter (satisfied our party of six, could be a main meal also). The hummus was so creamy and the avocado hummus was amazing! I had the spinach in pastry - which was ok but not bursting with flavour. The falafel flatbread was amazing.

Good food at a busy restaurant - Edit
Delicious food, including some items that aren’t too easy to find beyond private homes outside of the Middle East. I hadn’t had manoosh/manooshet since my Lebanese adult education teacher made it for my tiny class on her last day before moving back to Lebanon several years ago. I also had the stuffed grape leaves and a mug of peppermint tea. Most of the tables were reserved when I stopped by in the mid-afternoon so even though they recently expanded their space, I still recommend booking in advance if possible. The only down side to my visit was when I asked for a takeaway carton for my extra grape leaves and the employee who brought it dropped it on the floor and then picked it up, brought it over, and set it on my table as if it hadn’t just been on the floor. However the owner didn’t see this happen.
Read morePros: Delicious food and drinks , Lots of clearly marked vegan & vegetarian options , Fast service, even when crowded
Cons: The employee who thinks stuff on the floor is fine

Authentic Palestinian food in Cork 5 stars - Edit
A mixture of classic Palestinian food (hummus, falafel, Baba ganoush, etc) and their innovative open flatbread which they call "Manooshet". I had the spinach, falafel and zaatar Manooshet with hummus. All of the bread was packed with classic middle eastern flavours. The texture was light and fluffy. The hummus was absolute top quality: rich, creamy and delightful. They even have vegan desserts including cinnamon rolls and stuffed dates.
Read morePros: Top quality hummus, Innovative pizza-like flatbread, Vegan desserts
Cons: I wish they had a "mezze for one" option

Five star food - Edit
Delicious Palestinian food. If you could show me fresher bread, veg and food in Cork, I'd love to see it. The bread came out to the table steaming, fresh from the oven. The hummus was to die for.
Read moreI'd recommend the falafel on flat bread - not Wrap. Much tastier experience, although the wrap is still great.
The sharing appetizer is great for groups.
Come and experience the best Middle Eastern food in Cork city!
Pros: Fresh food, The best hummus
Cons: No water at tables

This place has many vegan options. The food is very delicious and the portions are also quite big. The restaurant is quite small so I recommend booking ahead.

One of the best in Cork - Edit
I wish I could give this place 5 stars. HappyCow does not allow 5 stars on omni restaurants but the vegan options at Izz cafe really are first in class. The restaurant is nice and cosy, the food is incredible, the staff are always polite and friendly. Izz is regularly my first choice when dining in the city, but it’s equally great to enjoy at home.

Absolut best Price/Quality in Town - Edit
For the price you pay you get way enough quantity, top quality ingredients (even the olive oil is awesome) and cherry on the cake every dish gets some presention, nothing fancy but it really shows that the cooks do care about what they serve you and that is something very very rare nowadays especially with restaurants that make take away/delivery. If you try their Falafel Manousheh you will never eat pizza again. 😉👍
