The Gathering Oven at Manakish Oven is a warm, inviting event space in San Jose that can accommodate up to 100 guests. It works especially well for birthday parties, baby and bridal showers, engagement celebrations, family gatherings, corporate meetings, networking events, workshops, holiday parties, team dinners, and private dining experiences.
The venue features a spacious main dining area with movable tables and chairs, allowing it to be arranged for seated dining, presentations, group activities, or a more casual reception-style gathering. The open kitchen creates an engaging backdrop and gives guests a view of our fresh Mediterranean food being prepared. Our dedicated coffee bar can also serve as a beverage station or social gathering point.
Complimentary amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, free on-site parking, tables and chairs, restrooms, and access to the main event area. Optional paid enhancements include Mediterranean catering, customized menus, Turkish coffee and espresso service, beverage packages, event staffing, décor setup, and additional event support.
What makes the space unique is the combination of a private-event atmosphere and the hospitality of a working Mediterranean restaurant. Guests can reserve the venue for their gathering or create a complete culinary experience featuring fresh flatbreads, mezze, grilled specialties, wraps, bowls, desserts, and specialty coffee.
