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

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. We had the vegan cinnamon roll also which was dry and disappointing - the only low note in this wonderful little restaurant.

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

Authentic and Tasty - Edit
Delicious fresh tasty authentic Palestinian food from a clearly labelled menu. Staff are all lovely and the atmosphere relaxed. Focus is on the great food rather pointless frivolity. Can’t wait to try the vegan cinnamon rolls!

Very good! - Edit
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.

Flavorful and filling - Edit
The menu has clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian options, meat is served here. Our food was great, we were very happy with it, and oh wow the cinnamon rolls. Get a cinnamon roll! Good spot to head to if you have to eat with meat eaters as everyone will leave happy.

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. 😉👍
