We had a wonderful engagement meal here while in Vitebsk. The Tom Yum Thai soup was fantastic for the location. Well seasoned and spicy. The green curry had plenty of flavor with a hint of coconut. The fried bananas were great as were the copious amounts of drinks we had.
The chocolate and orange hookah was tasty (and the staff was friendly and forgiving after not having smoked in a very long time).

A cozy atmosphere. Nice design. Friendly staff. Good music. Delicious food. I would like to pay special attention to hookahs, because there are not so many really good hookahs in Vitebsk and this place is no exception. I would like to express special gratitude to the hookah maker Nikolai. A polite, smiling and pleasant young man who really knows his business. I recommend you to visit.

I've been wanting to write a review on this place for a long time. Probably my favorite place in the city among places of this format. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the dishes are prepared quite quickly.
The food is always delicious, the staff is very friendly. Not the lowest prices, but honestly, they match the quality. In general, I strongly advise fans of Asian cuisine!!
P.S. I have never ordered delivery, so the review is exclusively about the place itself and the food in the hall, and not for takeaway.

Our friend did not recommend this place for a long time, but the young man and I still took a chance. The first person to greet us was a pleasant and bright interior. Then the charming smile of the waiter Daria (Dasha, you are a miracle how good you are). The menu is interesting, in general, there is something to choose for different tastes and different moods. Ah! Another important point! Wonderful coffee! Just great. Monsieur the bartender, I take off my hat to you, toss it up and shout "hurrah" three times.
Tartare is cool, we just love serving with fries. A hearty breakfast with roast beef is a cannon, really hearty. I was glad that they even asked for a roast for breakfast. Pshenka was a separate emotion for me, because she literally plunged me into childhood.
Thank you very much to the administration for the staff selection, delicious cuisine and atmosphere, we will become your regular customers

An institution with exactly the best service in Vitebsk. I would especially like to note the professionalism of the Waiter Julia and hookah master Nikolai.
Professionals in their field who need to be looked for. Service: infinity out of 10.
Knowledge of your business:infinity of 10.
Benevolence, appearance (especially of Nicholas): 11 infinities out of 10.
Thanks!

In general, the restaurant is good for "having a cocktail, coffee, a glass of beer or wine". But for a hearty meal it is expensive and not profitable, since the portions are like for a kitten) the service is very good, but you still want to eat)

I love it!!!! The hookah here is the best in Vitebsk. Zhenya is a hookah master, just Wow! Food with a focus on sharpness, so I advise you to clearly indicate when ordering (preferably more than once) whether you should reduce the sharpness of the dish.

Here's one question: Do you work as waiters in the establishment of Vitebsk or as sellers in the Central Department Store? Although they didn't look at me like that there either. Of course, I understand that I'm not the guy you want to hook up with, but you're at work!!!!
The waiters are just "top". They look at you like 💩 Guys, I had a lunch receipt of 200₽ for two. They work slowly, the dishes are not taken out immediately, they came to us cold. It is declared "breaded fish fillet", fish with bones. Everything is tasteless and the cherry on the cake is hookahs.
Well, let's start with the fact that we came to lunch, what we told the waitress. The girl showed that there are empty tables only on the right. There were three tables, one was occupied by guys with a hookah. Since we don't smoke, we decided to take the last table, away from them. We sat down, the waitress came up and said that this table was occupied. We had to sit in the middle closer to the guys. The most interesting thing is that on the left side, not a single table was occupied!!!! And they weren't busy in the 50 minutes we were there. They served us with such a dissatisfied face and did us such a favor that it was even uncomfortable. It's been a very long time. And in the end, it's tasteless.

I want to leave a review about my once-favorite institution "Manao".We visited this place from the opening, had our favorite dishes there, were recognized by the waiters and the hookah master, who knew without question what flavor and strength to offer, recommended this place to people!And so, after a short break, yesterday my friends and I came to dinner.And what we got in the end was the boorish, arrogant attitude of the waitress Julia,who eventually refused to serve us,replaced herself with an intern who had to pay off for the lack of dishes on the menu,for a lost order,she constantly apologized for Julia's rudeness,for the disgusting Tom-yam from the cook, for the lost order of the second course,for the fact that the first dish was brought to my husband after 1 hour and 20 minutes, it was a stew of water tinted with Tom yam paste and 2 shrimps, and we have something to compare both the gram and the quality in this institution, because it was always a must-have dish in our orders.The second course, after 2 hours, it turned out that they had lost and had not cooked at all.As a result, the husband left generally hungry.To our questions, why half of the menu is missing, why there are not many positions in the wine list, why we were not warned about the time of serving, we received only rudeness and arrogance of Julia or the huge eyes of the trainee girl. When at 21.00 we went to the bar and asked to invite the administrator, we found out that there was no administrator, and the cook was alone, and the order was lost, and Julia had nothing to do with the waiter, the kitchen had lost, the kitchen was tasteless, and in general, as Julia said, we do not have a team....When asked why she refused to serve us, Julia said that my husband yelled at her, to which I offered to look at the cameras, which I was refused.But the plaintive book was brought right there with a smile and write whatever you want to the words....Then a bearded man appeared from somewhere, a new hookah master.He began to get into the conversation, trying to justify Julia's actions.We tried to tell him that we had not ordered a hookah and did not intend to talk to him, to which we were told almost verbatim, I'm quoting now:go to the table and eat what you were given ((((((Well, shock, horror .....we paid the bill, and we did it at 21.00, although I pay attention, even the time on the cash receipt is different, 17.42.It's weird to say the least.It may already be necessary for special authorities to pay attention to the menu, sanitary standards, the work of the kitchen and staff.Does the owner of this institution know what is going on there, how he and this place are being shamed by people like Yulia Bakunovich and the hookah master?...The horror!Never again will we go to this place and recommend it to anyone!And we will try to spread the information in a timely manner!

We walked around the city, decided to just come in to watch, drink coffee and order something from Thai cuisine. I was very pleasantly surprised by the service, the waiter's girl has an interesting manner of communication, and as it turned out, this Thai cuisine is very tasty. Try to start with a split roll with shrimp. I am completing the review a year later. The staff changed, I forgot the name of the dishes and when ordering, no one explained what we ordered, in short, we ordered shrimp in something raw, it was not very good.

We visited this cafe many times, everything was at the highest level. But the last visit has greatly changed the opinion about this cafe.
The portions of the dishes decreased, and the quality of the dishes also dropped significantly. With all this, prices have risen.
We constantly ordered a standard set of dishes and a hookah.
In the cafe, something has changed dramatically and for the worse.

Insanely delicious food and cocktails. I compare it with Moscow and half of the Michelin guide, very, very worthy. I went to breakfast and lunch/dinner throughout the week and every time it was fine. People who write that everything is just bad for food or some special unlucky people or just lying.

A very cool establishment that takes care of its reputation. Hookahs are the best in the city! They smoke for an average of 1.5 - 2 hours. The coals are changed quite often! Top shots! Especially mango!

For connoisseurs of delicious hookahs and a variety of food, A separate respect to hookah master Eugene, mixes tastes for ten, takes into account all wishes. The food is varied and delicious - sea buckthorn infusion / sandwich is just a bomb! 💣The interior and subdued lighting gives its own unique vibe. I recommend it!🎧

If you go to spoil your mood, this is the perfect place. They waited for a bottle of water and a glass of wine for 20 minutes, they brought it only when we reminded them. We ordered spring rolls, waited for them for 1 hour and 20 minutes, and what do you think? They didn't bring it at all. To our question, the waiter replied that today they actually have one banquet table (for 7 people), and the wait is from an hour. When I said that we had ordered almost 1.5 hours ago, she stupidly turned around and left. The hookah man did not bother to come up to us and check the coals in 1.5 hours. The hookah was not included in the bill, we had to look for a waitress and ask her to pay. To be honest, I have not seen such disgusting service in an institution for a long time, this is the level of the dining room, and the prices are above average. I don't recommend it.

Интересное место с азиатской кухней, цены не очень высокие, атмосфера в целом приятная. По блюдам - я брала суши в темпуре, для Витебска весьма неплохо, но рыбы конечно маловато, впрочем, ее тут в любом заведении зажимают. Муж брал карри, ему понравилось, и острота в меру. Неплохой выбор алко. По интерьеру - стильно и просторно, но словно бы не хватает какой-то изюминки, оттого немного пустовато и из-за этого нет уюта. Может быть стоит добавить картин на стены, перегородки между столиками и каких-то растений типа тропических. Так же не очень удобно было сидеть за низким столиком. И нас, как некурящих, очень раздражали кальяны на соседних столиках. было бы здорово выделить для некурящих отдельную зону.

I visited this cafe a couple of times. The last time I went recently. The cafe takes part in the Gastrofest. I liked the gastroset very much. I am a big fan of Pan-Asian cuisine. I liked Tom yam and dessert the most. The staff is polite. The interior is beautiful. One minus of the institution - I was cold there. I hope the owners will make the temperature in the cafe more comfortable.

We were at the institution during the gastrofest. There were no problems with booking a table. The most friendly staff - special thanks! The dishes are delicious. You can take the dessert separately. Sweet, but not cloying. Pleasant atmosphere, unobtrusive music. Thank you so much for the time spent with you. :)
Of the cons, these are only the prices of drinks...

По уровню других заведений в Витебске твердая 4.
Персонал нормальный, проблем не испытывал.
Меню достаточно разнообразное, есть интересные позиции.
Кальян не пробовал сам, но мне показалось что кальяны тут хорошие, у соседей по столику кальянщик буквально ночевал, был внимателен, менял угли и все такое.
Рекомендую чай! Красный халат мне принесли как положено с проливным чайников. Это супер!
Кушали ролы - по вкусу хорошо, но ничего выдающегося. Особенно за такой ценник - могло быть поинтереснее. Напрягло немного что все прекурсоры (соус, васаби, имбирь) платные. И их дают с гулькин хрен. На 4 ролла мы употребили 3 соуса и на последние пару кусков соуса уже не хватило. Роллы кстати несли очень долго. Супруге принесли 2 ролла сносно по времени и мне салат с баклажанами и креветками (понравился, я его сьел и минут 15 ждал свои роллы: принесли 1, я их съел и еще немного ждал вторые ролы.

I didn't like it. We went into a fog. The hood does not work from the word at all. All the things smelled like hookah! I do not recommend taking shots (very light) the food is average.

The food is ordinary, I did not feel anything beyond delicious, although the price of the dishes is high. The service is good, I was not overwhelmed by the attention of the waiters. The atmosphere is good, BUT there is simply nothing to breathe, there is a lot of smoke from hookahs and it is EVERYWHERE. The table was at the entrance and due to the lack of a vestibule and cold air cut-offs, I had to feel goosebumps, unfortunately not because of the cool place, but because of the cold.

Кальянный мастер хороший, вкусный и дымный кальян. Благодаря ему отзыв обрел звезды) Приточки воздуха в помещении так себе, душно. Обслуживание официантов медленное и никакое по качеству. При неполной посадке в будний день половина меню отсутствовала. Этой информацией нас сразу нагрузила официант, перечисляя весь список позиций, которых нет вместо помощи в выборе🤷🏼♀️. Чай несли пол часа, в то время как пришедшей после нас компании барный заказ принесли значительно раньше нас. А суп увидели через 40 минут🙈

Очень приятное заведение с азиатской кухней . Интерьер уютный, столики стоят друг от друга на расстоянии, что удобно, так как никто никому не мешает. Работники отличные , подача блюд быстрая, Еда, напитки , кальян - все на пять! Вопросы по блюдам разъяснили ) единственный минус -нет состава блюд , с непонятными названиями тяжело сделать выбор , а мучать официанта по каждой позиции меню как-то неудобно :)

The most terrible place. The table was booked for the 6th, and they gave us a table for the 4th, I had to change seats myself. 1. Porter beer was sour, which shouldn't be sour. 2. The waiter offers drinks off the menu, which are (as it turns out at the end of the evening) unreasonably high. 3. The serving of the same dishes is different. 4. The shrimp were not cleaned from the intestines, there was hay in that pit?!?! or something that looks like scales from shrimp. 5. In a dish with shrimp, they found meat (which should not be there). We don't understand how it is.
As a result, they gave a lot of money for the terrible service, taste, and serving. And it's not clear what the expiration dates were. It was as if the staff knew that the beer was sour and therefore replaced it without question. 6. The staff reacted to all comments and questions as if ‘well, it's okay'. 7. The waiters do not know what is available, after they accepted the order, they returned and said they would not be able to cook for us. If you want to spend less, but have a perfect evening, and HAVE a DELICIOUS MEAL, go to Salsa. The place is two minutes away and MUCH BETTER

I didn't like it at all, firstly it was very cold, it was unbearable to sit, it was impossible to relax, because it was blowing from all sides, the plaid (which in a single copy in the institution) did not help! I ordered milk oolong - there is no tea, they offered mint tea, in which mint was not felt at all, it turned out that it was mint oolong, then you need to explain it more clearly to customers) tom yam is mediocre, like I drank some water (I didn't go in at all), tartar is delicious, but ciabatta / baguette / bread is missing in the institution, for the first time I see an institution where there is at least no ordinary bread))))
Ordered a biscuit with fish / spinach - is it really impossible to prepare somehow on Friday?)

Кстати о последнем, кто любит паназиатскую кухню - все сюда, всё очень вкусно)
Отдельное спасибо кальянному мастеру Евгению, за лучший кальян в Витебске!)

Очень приятное для отдыха место. Всё на уровне: удобные места, великолепный тактичный персонал, музыкальный фон, подача блюд, чисто, аккуратно, даже в туалет приятно сходить. Но, естественно, есть одно "но", из-за которого минус одна звезда - это блюда. Нет, они вкусные, они красиво поданы, они из качественных продуктов и прекрасно приготовлены, но это никак не тайская кухня. Это обычные курица с рисом, обильно залитые соусом и засыпанные перцем, это обычный салат из руколы с баклажанами, обильно залитый соусом и засыпанный перцем. Это обычные добротные блюда, обильно залитые соусом и засыпанные перцем. Хотя соусы и неплохи. В остальном - прекрасное место.
