Za’atar Manakish | Muhammara Manakish | Akawi Cheese Manakish | at Zeit & Zaatar Lebanese Bakery

It is long overdue, that I share our family’s all time favourite Middle-Eastern Bakery!!!
Zeit & Zaatar is a small “hole-in-the-wall” type Lebanese Bakery. Whenever we are in the vicinity or passing by, we simply cannot resist getting some Manakish breads from here.

If you ever feel in the mood for eating some freshly made Authentic Middle Eastern Breads, but don’t fancy traveling all the way to Lebanon, then it’s well worth checking out Zeit & Zaatar Lebanese Bakery in Shepherds Bush (in London); they serve up affordable freshly oven baked Middle Eastern breads.
