5 reviews for Manos Greek Restaurant
This is my favorite restaurant in Toledo!
If you are looking for low-drama, and great flavor... go to Manos for the best greek food this city has to offer.
I suggest starting off with the Saganaki. Your server will bring it out while it is on fire, and extinguish the flame before your eyes with lemon juice. OPA!!!
For dinner I always get "Liz's Veggie Combo" which is a combination of Hummus, Pita, Spinach Pie, and Fatoush. I have never been disappointed by this meal.
I highly recommend Manos, and will probably eat there again soon!
I've heard nothing but good things about Manos, but my experience was not a good one.
As soon as my partner and I sat down, we noticed that all 4 of the plates on the table were dirty and had pieces of food still on them. We moved to the next table, and the same thing happened. That was strike number one for us.
The menus were also sticky. Gross.
They ran out of what I ordered. I understood, but was disappointed. Our server wasn't as friendly as she could have been, but she did apologize.
What better way to spend Valentine's Day than with other awesome, single friends over Greek food!
Let's break down Manos Greek Restaurant, shall we?
The food:
Bread and dip - Superb. By the time our orders came out, we were already full from dipping the bread in the herb and spice infused dipping oil.
Saganaki - Amazingly delicious. Best one I've had thus far with the perfect cheese and lemon juice ratio.
Hummus - Good, but certainly not Toledo's best, as claimed on the menu.
Spinach pie - Okay. Despite being a bit on the soggy side, it was bursting with flavor.
Fatoush - Again, okay. While the veggies were fresh and pitas crunchy, it could use a bit more tart.
Creme caramel - Passable. A flan in disguise, this dessert was still light and refreshing... but left me with a bitter aftertaste.
Gastronomic ingenuity aside, service was rude. Granted the place was hammered by 6pm, but there is a distinct line between tolerable service and discourteous service. Servers switched midway through our meal that we didn't know who to place our dessert orders at the end. Bread baskets were restocked and refills were met, but that's as far of a service as we got the entire evening. In fact, one server brushed me off curtly when I had asked for a group picture. Okaaaay then. The other, friendlier server was rather forgetful and brought out the wrong dessert for one of my friends. To top it off, everything was extremely slow to the point that we all got up to pay at the register as opposed to waiting for our one of two servers to make her way back to the table.
Good food paired with sub-par service makes for an okay experience, methinks.

By far the BEST Greek restaurant in Toledo!
Order the Saganaki for a HOT time, or the Spinach pie and Baklave for authentic, down-to-earth Greek food. Make sure you say Hi to Manos, the owner, while you are there, too :)
Detroit's Greektown probably has a much better selection of Greek food, but you're not in Detroit, are you? More authentic than Giorgio's in my opinion but Giorgio's is somewhat finer overall.
