Serving Sustainability From Takeout To Catering
When selecting packaging for their restaurant, Manakish Grill and Oven wanted more than just high-quality products; they wanted a partner whose values aligned with their own commitment to sustainability. With locations in both Walnut Creek and San Jose, CA, reliable packaging that performs consistently is essential to their operation.

“We chose Good Start Packaging because of the high-quality compostable products. More importantly, our ethics, values, and personality align. We believe in being sustainable to benefit our community and our planet,” states Abdullah Taleb, Owner of Manakish Oven and Grill.
Today, Manakish Grill and Oven uses compostable packaging throughout its operation, including kebab plates, shawarma bowls, catering trays and lids. When preparing large catering orders for corporate clients, the team relies on packaging that reflects the same care and quality that goes into their food.
