Lezizel Manti in Neufahrn Manti mit Mango-Apfel Chutney

Mantis with mango-apple chutney

Lezizel Manti in Neufahrn Good news for all fans of the "Lezizel" Mantis, previously only available in Munich's city center! Since May 13, 2017, the Munich area has gained a new international culinary destination, and you can now enjoy these delicious Turkish dumplings ("Mantis") in Neufahrn – either in the small shop, on the adjoining terrace, or from the convenient to-go box. Those who read my posts regularly will surely remember the report from October 2015 about... Lezizel Manti at Gärtnerplatz I've read about them and know for sure that I'm a big fan of those little filled or plain pasta dumplings. A quick aside: Until recently, Mantis also had a location in Sendling, complete with its own production facility. I used a visit there as an opportunity to write my first article about Mantis in August 2014 – since then, production has moved and expanded, and the Sendling branch has closed. I'm telling you this because you'll be in the... first article about Lezizel You can read in detail from 2014 what Mantis actually are, how the Lezizel group got into business and much more.

Looks good, doesn't it?

The new Lezizel Manti store in Neufahrn

The third branch (or, due to the production relocation, the second) at Neufahrn train station, unlike the one at Gärtnerplatz, is run by a franchisee and offers the same selection as Lezizel at Gärtnerplatz. On opening day, I was naturally there and, together with my companion, was able to look around, sample the products, and get a feel for the place. The design, counter, ordering system, and even the Mantis bar are identical; the only new features are oriental design elements on the wall, which will soon also be found at Gärtnerplatz, and the franchise concept. Big plans are in place, and Lezizel and its Mantis bar will likely continue to expand in this direction, with two more branches opening soon – no further details are being revealed yet.

Order forms are available on site.

Online shop and offer

Much sooner, and launching in 14 days, is the online shop for fresh mantis in a bag. This means you won't even have to put on your shoes and go outside to enjoy these Turkish pastries. Cool, right? Whether you're ordering at home or on-site, you can choose between the classic beef-filled mantis made with wheat dough or the vegan version. On-site, this is also the first decision when you're putting together your mantis: "Plain or filled?" Then comes tomato sauce, yogurt, and a small amount of butter-paprika sauce (without yogurt for vegans, of course), and finally, the topping. There are currently eight different toppings to choose from: "Mango-Apple Chutney," "Beef Pastirma," "Sunflower Seeds," "Truffle Cream," "Walnut," "Olives," "Spinach," or "Feta Cheese"—all priced between €0.50 and €2.50. For just over €6, you can immerse yourself in the world of Mantis, or choose and combine several toppings. Side dishes, drinks, and desserts are also available.

If you're now tempted to try them yourself, I highly recommend taking a short trip to Neufahrn. My personal tip is the beef-stuffed mantis with mango-apple chutney and homemade lemonade. Absolutely delicious, very filling, and highly recommended. If you're interested in becoming your own franchisee, you can contact the Manti team via the links below.
