Pros: delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, good music.
Cons: the absence of several dishes on the menu, without explanation. I didn't really like the waiter's service.
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!
A place in Vitebsk that stands out very much among all. The atmosphere! Serving dishes! Service....at the height! there is an interest in the service and the professionalism of the management and staff!
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 atmosphere is good, the service is good, the quality of the food well, there is a moment in the beef there were untested places

It took a long time to find a table for us, even though we had booked it. The food is so - so , it's not clear what the establishment specializes in , whether it's Asian cuisine or European (Tartare with French fries is strong) . Our order included a salad with eggplant and shrimps, the rest of the hot stuff was brought quickly, but the salad was waited for 45-50 minutes, eventually the salad was brought, but there were no shrimps.... Tortured eggplants have been cooking for so long. We called the waiter, and our plate was simply taken away , taken to the kitchen , a couple of shrimps were plopped in there and returned with the eggplant already cooled. …
It was our first time at the institution, and it was our last
Horror, and I just don't want to write anything else. There were two waiters, one of them a girl, who had just settled in. In this situation, the owner should have been there, but probably everything is fine. I do not recommend visiting
Pleasant atmosphere, polite staff. If you are a fan of East Asian cuisine, then you should like it. The dishes are different, with different levels of spiciness.
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.
Delicious food, cozy interior, fast service, courteous staff, the most delicious hookah in the city, infinitely chic, relaxed atmosphere is all about Manao.

The place wasn't impressed at all: a typical 21st century eatery. The basic interior, the dark walls are oppressive, there is no desire to stay in this place for a long time.
Why is it that I'm greeted at the entrance not by the receptionist, but by a coat rack full of jackets?! Moreover, it doesn't fit into the design at all! There are clearly not enough hangers for the influx of Chinese that I observed.
The bar stools are just awful! What kind of person would you have to be to climb them?
Kirill, the bartender, saved the situation. The coffee made by His hands is a real masterpiece! From the first sip, he gave me a feeling of warmth and comfort, as if he embraced me from the inside. The aroma was so intense that it seemed as if notes of roasted almonds and slightly toasted sugar were floating in the air. And the taste! It was perfectly balanced: the soft caramel sweetness smoothly flowed into a light bitterness, creating a harmony that seemed to play on the taste buds. The caramel was not cloying, but rather resembled a subtle hint of caramelized sugar, which adds depth and sophistication. This coffee didn't just cheer me up — it made my day brighter, giving me moments of real enjoyment. Thank you, Kirill, for this small but important ritual of happiness!
The head waiter Daria clearly deserves the award. She, like Cyril, is a ray of light in this miserable kingdom!!
According to the level of other establishments in Vitebsk, the firm is 4.
The staff is normal, I didn't experience any problems.
The menu is quite diverse, there are interesting positions.
I didn't try the hookah myself, but it seemed to me that the hookahs here are good, the hookah man literally spent the night at the neighbors' table, was attentive, changed the coals and all that.
I recommend tea! The red robe was brought to me as it should be with pouring kettles. It's super!
We ate rolls - it tastes good, but nothing outstanding. Especially for such a price tag - it could be more interesting. It was a little annoying that all the precursors (sauce, wasabi, ginger) are paid. And they are given with Gulkin's horseradish. We used 3 sauces for 4 rolls and we didn't have enough sauce for the last couple of pieces. By the way, the rolls were carried for a very long time. My wife was brought 2 rolls passably in time and I liked the salad with eggplant and shrimp (I liked it, I ate it and waited for my rolls for 15 minutes: they brought 1, I ate them and waited a little longer for the second rolls.
It was great, we were at the gastrofest, the food was great, the cocktails were great, the waiter was very polite, explained everything and prompted. To be honest, so far in Vitebsk I have not seen such service from the officers
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...
Hookah master is a good, tasty and smoky hookah. Thanks to him, the review gained stars) The air supply in the room is so-so, stuffy. The waiters' service is slow and of no quality. With incomplete boarding on a weekday, half of the menu was missing. The waiter immediately loaded us with this information, listing the entire list of positions that are not available instead of helping us choose. Tea was served for half an hour, while the company that came after us brought the bar order much earlier than us. And the soup was seen after 40 minutes🙈
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.
A very pleasant place with Asian cuisine. The interior is cozy, the tables are at a distance from each other, which is convenient, since no one bothers anyone. The staff is excellent, the food is fast, The food, drinks, hookah - all for five! Questions about the dishes have been clarified ) the only disadvantage is that there is no composition of dishes, it is difficult to make a choice with unclear names, and it is somehow inconvenient to torment the waiter for each menu item :)
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 really liked the pancakes, I was just fascinated by their taste. Polite and understanding staff. The hookah man is just an ace! We had a great time!!
Great location and service, delicious cuisine and pleasant customer service. One of the best establishments in the city. I definitely recommend it to everyone
A good place with a delicious and varied menu
Hookahs are not bad, but I can't say that they are at their best, since there is something to compare them with
The waiters are polite, but they looked at us very strangely…
A very pleasant place to relax. Everything is on the level: comfortable seats, great tactful staff, background music, serving dishes, clean, tidy, even it's nice to go to the toilet. But, of course, there is one "but", because of which minus one star is the dishes. No, they are delicious, they are beautifully served, they are made from high-quality products and perfectly cooked, but this is not Thai cuisine in any way. These are ordinary chicken with rice, abundantly filled with sauce and sprinkled with pepper, this is an ordinary salad of arugula with eggplant, abundantly filled with sauce and sprinkled with pepper. These are ordinary good-quality dishes, abundantly filled with sauce and sprinkled with pepper. Although the sauces are not bad. Otherwise, it's a great place.
The establishment is out of competition!😍🤌🏾. Starting from the interior, ending with the kitchen)
Very cozy atmosphere, tables are conveniently located, no one interferes) pleasant music and light)
The staff is very polite and likeable (thanks to the waiter Alexey), knows his business, always helps with the choice of dishes and drinks.
Speaking of the last one who loves pan-Asian cuisine - everything is here, everything is very tasty)
Special thanks to hookah master Evgeny, for the best hookah in Vitebsk!)
In general, we thank the management and staff for the work done!🫶🏽
We came for cocktails and did not lose! Special thanks to the bartender Alexander not only for the excellent drinks, but also for the conversation!
Recommendation 100%
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?)
Super cozy, beautiful interior. Sooo nice staff, who are always ready to suggest and tell you about each dish, which in turn turn out to be delicious and "instragrammatical". Special thanks to the hookah man for his attentiveness and ability to describe and execute the wishes :)
For the first time we came to this institution with my wife for a gastrofest. Set for 34 rubles is the face of the institution.
I didn't like all the dishes: very peppery sauce with fish, or rather the fish swam in it, the Greek salad is a sliced tomato and two pieces of not tasty cottage cheese and so on according to the dishes. Dessert : apple with cream.
We got a nice waiter, the girl told us everything about the dishes, gave advice and was very tactful, but at the time of payment another girl came and there was already the opposite situation. The girl did not know or forgot that the checks after payment should be given to the client, and not taken for herself (and the fact that the pre-check (invoice) this is not a document). As for the menu and prices: for an establishment with dusty windows and sofas, under the pillows of which dirt is too much. Freshly squeezed juice 0.2 l. costs 11 rubles, meat - 45 rubles, plain tea 10 rubles. There is a gramophone in the menu for not all positions, I am generally silent about the description.
Do we want to visit this assignment again? Of course not. There are a lot more decent places to go in the city.
This place differs from others in the city not only in the interior but also in the kitchen..Nice music.Attentive staff.On holidays, it is better to book a few days in advance..
After visiting this institution, they were "slightly" disappointed. The atmosphere is quite cold, the service is too intrusive. When you come to an institution of this type, you want to sit, not in a hurry. But once you get to Manao, you get the feeling that there is a conveyor there. When you arrive, you must quickly consume the order and make room for other "guests" as soon as possible. The waiter girls were ready to clean the dishes every 7-10 minutes.This is the first time I've come across this. Apparently, there is a shortage of dishes.The kitchen, alas, is weak 3. Especially, I was impressed (sadly) by the dessert, which was made in a hurry and was raw. It is a pity that I have to write such a review, but my conscience will not allow me to sing praises. I can't recommend Manao to my friends.
The food is so—so, price and quality are incompatible, too expensive for such a taste and presentation; lemonade — I liked it, but could have been better for that price; service — decent, waitress polite, attentive, friendly; interior — ordinary and ordinary, street cafe below average

Good cuisine, although without any special frills. A good hookah. Friendly staff. Good ventilation. the place is popular, so it is better to book places in advance on weekends
The staff is very responsive and pleasant, at the same time unobtrusive.
I will not appreciate Asian cuisine, but the set of the gastrofest was delicious, served quickly, with a story about the dish. Very tasty mojito
Class I really like this place. It's not the first time I've been there. A good team. I dream of celebrating my 45th anniversary there. I'm doing great.
