Food is good but when you gotta throw your whole lunch out that cost over 10 bucks because these people follow no rules on food safety and leaves hair in your food, it’s very upsetting I won’t be able to trust this place anymore.

If you haven’t been to Mazzat Brooklyn yet, you are missing out on one of the best hidden gems in all of NYC. This Egyptian family-owned Mediterranean restaurant on Columbia St in Downtown Brooklyn has been around since 2006 and the moment you walk in, you understand why. The warmth hits you immediately. It genuinely feels like home, the kind of place where you slow down, settle in, and just enjoy. The team is warm, attentive and makes every visit feel personal. Now let’s talk about the food. T

If you’re in the mood for Middle Eastern food, this place is definitely worth checking out. It is a my lucky discover. The service is quick and friendly. If you ever visit Jerusalem the food really reminds you of it— fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Everything tastes just from the oven, well-seasoned and homemade. Definitely try the vegetable pickles,shawarma meats, rice, fries, falafel, and the fresh salads. I believe you will come here again and again

Highly recommend. Order chicken tikka over rice, chicken over rice and fried shrimps and all three was fresh and delicious. A must come. Love that I can get the sauce on the side too.

​It was our first time checking out Mottley Kitchen, and we will absolutely be back. The decor inside is really nice, and the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. They greeted us right away and took the time to help us navigate the menu, which we really appreciated. My son got the New York Combo, and honestly, it was the best hands down because it was packed with flavor in every single bite. I ordered the Chermoula Chicken Burger, which tasted incredibly fresh. It felt like it was missing s

They gave us complimentary hummus and pita which is great ❤️ food is really good. Its a large serving so you can share it if you want.

I stopped into this fast food restaurant to get something quick to eat. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and went to the counter to order. The place was small and mainly for take out. I ordered: Aloe Vera Pineapple Drink Falafel Salad Fish Gyro Shrimp Basket over rice Mango Habanero Wings Italian Cheeseburger My favorite dish was the Mango Habanero Wings! Everything was very tasty all in all!

Amazing Yemeni spot! It truly felt like being transported to Yemen. The flavors were incredible and so authentic. We ordered the Fahsa, Fish, and Saltah, and every dish was a 10/10. Everything was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The customer service was also outstanding the staff were very attentive and made us feel so welcome throughout the entire experience. If you’re looking for real, authentic Yemeni food, this place will not disappoint. We left very satisfied and will definitely

I’ve tried real hookah before, the kind where two puffs and you immediately feel the effect, but this one didn’t feel like anything. It was just smoke. There are much better hookah spots out there. The staff was very friendly, but the place itself doesn’t feel exclusive or high-end at all. It actually looks more like a cheap option. I wouldn’t go back. 18% gratuity included!

This is probably my favorite hookah spot in NJ and NYC. Yes, there are more high end spots that try to enter the nightlife territory (as if a hookah lounge is supposed to be a night club). That’s alright, but I personally enjoy a hookah lounge that is a place where I can lay back and relax at (which is what a lounge is). This spot genuinely makes me feel as if I’m taking a vacation from American culture. The hookah is very solid and is at a good price. They serve all the hookah on a grapefruit

Ay bro when I tell you how good this spot was. Starting off the manager was such a chill guy, every customer coming in he greeted them with respect and gave honest recommendations. Very respectful guy, the food I can’t even rank it a 10/10 because I would be disrespecting it. The hot Cheetos burger is just perfection. Good service and clean also. Would definitely recommend it, a little bit costy but for the portions you are getting is 100% valid, other places would be charging ODE extra. Also it

Great customer service, Amazing food, easy to vibe to music and high quality hookah! Really happy I found this spot. Definitely will be going again. Highly recommend.

We had an Eid event at our school, and Shwarmania was absolutely amazing! They were kind enough to cater for our students, and the food was a huge hit—everyone loved it. Everything was just perfect, from the quality of the food to the excellent service. A special thank you to Gamal Omran, who was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process. He communicated clearly with us and personally delivered the food on time to our school, which we truly appreciated. We are

Best Yemeni food in the city. The fahsah is to die for! I traveled all the way down from Flushing just to eat here!

I love Naya for their toppings, even more than the meat or main course. The choices are excellent - like Toum, Lebanese pickes, picked turnips and on and on. I always order online and pick it up to avoid the line. But, if we go earlier or later, for lunch, picking these things would be a pleasure as well. Find the staff to be quick and very professional!

Actually outstanding. The dips are world-class. Best mahumarrah and hummus I’ve had in nyc. The tomato-egg brunch thing was phenomenal. The pita is fluffy and delicious and perfect. Our server was SO kind and awesome. The coffee is good. The yemini tea was delish. The prices are great. Brunch starts at ~$13 which is so fair. Desserts look great. My only complaint is that it’s a bit cold inside when it’s cold outside. The cold seeps in.

The food here is really good — the chicken over rice platter was flavorful and fresh, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Staff were friendly and welcoming too. Great spot for a late-night meal!

Balkh Shish Kabab House is a traditional Afghan restaurant that focuses on classic dishes, grilled meats, and a more authentic dining experience. The space has an old-school feel with simple décor that adds to its character rather than feeling overly modern or polished. What stood out to me was that the restaurant feels comfortable and welcoming, with a focus on the food and hospitality rather than trying to create a trendy atmosphere. The main highlight is the grilled dishes, especially the ka

2/14/2026 – Would we come back? Absolutely. Food • Lentil Soup – 7.5/10: Smooth and fresh, could use a bit more flavor. • Mozzarella Sticks – 9/10: Perfectly crispy. • Pita Bread – 10/10: Great alone or with dips; loved the crunch. • Chicken Shawarma – 10/10: Seasoned beautifully. Even the salad that had tomatoes (which I normally avoid) were delicious. The rice gave halal-cart vibes in the best way. • Lamb Chops – 8.5/10: Initially undercooked, but George fixed it immediately. Came back flavor

The Grand Sahara was the venue for the monthly meeting of my organization on April 21. The Mediterranean Bowl was fresh & delicious. The decor was very pleasant. The waitress was very efficient. The place was very clean. The men's bathroom was clean. I enjoyed the food & experience.

The food is soooo delicious and always fresh and serves hot. The service is amazing and people are so kind. I always come here to eat and I have tried the whole menu is good. Would definitely recommend it!!!

Ate here Jun. 23. I ordered via online which was a little late than the time I gave them but it was a bit busy. I got the chicken schwarma bowl with various add-ons and sauces (the pomegranate tahini is really good!) There is plenty of seating inside. For the very affordable price you pay you get a lot and all of it is delicious. Honestly you could save half for the next day if you wanted to. This might become my go to place whenever I attend a Carnegie Hall show!

I happened upon Tava Turkish and Mediterranean Cuisine and immediately liked the way it felt…welcoming, with lovely music inside. I was not disappointed! Delicious arugula salad (a full meal!) cold beer, and a complimentary dessert! The server and hostess were attentive without being intrusive. It doesn’t get any better!

I had high expectations because this place is quite popular, but the food was just average for me. Nothing was bad, and the ingredients seemed fresh, but the flavor didn't really stand out. The restaurant was clean, the staff were polite, and the service was reasonably fast. I can understand why many people enjoy this place, but personally I didn't find the food memorable enough to make a special trip back. Maybe I simply ordered the wrong item, and I'd be willing to give it another chance in th

Came here on Christmas for lunch and it was great! The service here was great and the food was delicious. Didn’t get a chance to try the dessert since we were stuffed but def will come back soon!

Very delicious shawarma! If you’re from a CIS country and miss that authentic taste, this is the place to go. We ordered Shawerma #6 — it comes with meat, vegetables, and fries inside the wrap. It was incredibly tasty! The preparation time is usually around 10–20 minutes, but during busy hours you may have to wait longer, so ordering online is a good idea. The interior is beautiful and stylish, although there isn’t much seating space. The music was a bit too loud — I would have preferred it quie

Three words: PERFECT + THANK YOU!!!! A business who really cares about their customers is a business I wouldn’t think twice about supporting 🥰🥰🥰 We were met with a few hiccups with our service last visit. Shoutout to our server and manager Waleed for taking the initiative to mend our experience Today, in only about a week’s time. This is genuinely a beautiful and cozy place to dine at with so many little gems and AMAZING food. The sweetest staff I’ve met in a long time and you can tell they

Manousheh Grand is a great spot on the Lower East Side for authentic Lebanese food and freshly baked breads. You can really taste how fresh everything is the manousheh comes out warm, soft, and perfectly baked, and the toppings and spreads are full of flavor. They have a nice variety of classic Lebanese items on the menu, and everything I tried tasted very clean and well-seasoned. I also loved that they have a small market section where you can buy Lebanese grocery items and ingredients to take

We recently hosted an engagement celebration for a young couple near and dear to us at Qanoon, and while we weren't sure what to expect, we were absolutely thrilled with the experience. This small, intimate, and bustling Palestinian spot in Chelsea delivers in a big way. Yes, it is crowded, but that only adds to the vibrant, cozy atmosphere of this location. The food, however, is the real star—everything was excellent. We ordered a spread of appetizers to share: the Hummus, creamy Baba Ganoush,

I may have visited the Sandwich shop at Steinway one other time in the past but have been wanting to go there again for a long time. My friend and I ended up going the other day and the food did not disappoint. We had the olive chicken with rice and lamb shank with fries. The food was excellent and the serving quantity generous. The service wasn't great as the guy behind the counter was a little rude. However, I had low expectations with the service anyway. I would go back to this place though.

Donia and Ameen were both really great servers and provided very welcoming service. Highly recommend them! They’re both sweet and fun people to talk to. They deserve a raise for their attentive and amazing customer services! Thank you both if you’re reading this message ☺️ The food was also really good and I love the private atmosphere that was provided in the basement.

The food is delish! Everything is soooo fresh, the portions are generous, the tables are clean, and the staff is kind. You can just tell the food isn’t just sitting there all day. It’s healthy and vegetarian friendly. They are constantly cooking and rotating the dishes out. Been here a couple times and it has not disappointed. These glowing reviews are certainly warranted. But… why blast Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry at crazy loud volumes. Its unbelievably loud. It’s not pleasant to eat with this m

great service and great food!! stumbled on this spot on accident and wow food did not disappoint!! had the platter, burger and shawarma and it was so juicy and flavorful! definitely recommend!!

Everything here is so fresh. The veg in the display case are perky and colorful, not like the limp salads you usually see. The falafel are fried perfectly and I love that the size fits the dipping container perfectly too. They make the carrot cake too which was SO DAMN TASTY. I liked it better than Lloyd’s!

OMG This place is very very popular. They have the best grilled salmon in manhattan for a very reasonable price. They also have tasty whole grill chicken. And when I say grill it means they are really grilled. And they have other dishes too. But if you think based on the outlook you are gonna miss everything. They are really quick and friendly. This is one of my favorite place in Manhattan.

Maybe you might think I’m exaggerating a little with this review, but trust me — once you experience the atmosphere at RIVA, taste the amazing food, the fresh salads, the variety of cold and hot appetizers, the delicious desserts, the outstanding service, and the genuine warmth of the staff, you will completely understand what I mean. We have eaten at many Turkish restaurants with my family, but we went all the way from Brooklyn just to try this place. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. And h

I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident because I needed to use the restroom—and I’m so glad I did! The service was just as amazing as the food, and the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, too. I’ll definitely be coming back. Whether you come with friends, family, or even on your own, you’ll be glad you did! Thank you for the great experience and delicious food!

Edit: I ordered Chicken Biryani this time. I got 3 small chunks of "chicken" it was actually all bone. The rice was dry and flavorless except for a hint of bleach. The garlic naan was dry and somehow flavorless. I've genuinely never had such a bad experience I can't believe you cooked up pure bone and served it to a customer as chicken. My last order was great I don't understand what happened here but I will not be ordering from here again. We ordered delivery and both got butter chicken and ke

Best doner kebab in nyc. Tastes like what you get in Europe. Highly recommend getting it on the homemade Turkish bread, which is specially ordered from a Turkish bakery everyday.

Order that Braised Beef! Sooo worth the extra 3 dollars its so silky juicy deep flavor layers I was so impressed w the Beef and then the sauces babaganoush on my wrap best experience ever. Highly suggest getting the pita wrap yummy with the braised beef.

Absolutely loved this hookah lounge—the vibe was incredible from start to finish. The variety of hookah flavors they offer is unmatched, easily the best I’ve experienced in the NYC area. What really made it special for me was the Desi music and overall atmosphere—it felt so lively and authentic. outstanding customer service! Can’t wait to go back again.

The food was really delicious and fresh. There customer service was really great 😊 The customer service lady was so helpful and friendly. There atmosphere was very neat and clean. Recommending to try there food.

This has to be the worst falafel platter I have ever had, and the fries were mushy to the point that they may as well have been mashed potatoes. The falafel balls were dry and rock hard and not fresh. The salad was some type of mesclin salad that does not belong in an authentic falafel platter. In Park Slope Brooklyn back in the day, Mr. Falafel, Olive Vine in multiple locations and Bedawi Cafe all had excellent falafel platters. Bedawi Cafe is the only one still open and it is no longer the sa

They offer a discount if you are a member of the Manhattan children museum or a visitor. Just show up your receipt. Their Manhattan sandwich is incredibly delicious 😋 it is a must try! And the mint lemonade is the perfect complementary to this meal. They have nice outside area with sun shield and 4 tables some for 2 and some for a larger group (could fit 6 or more with benches).

I visited Shah’s Halal Food and was overall satisfied. I ordered a combo platter — the portion was generous, and the food was tasty and fresh. What stood out the most was how incredibly fast they prepared everything: just a couple of minutes and my order was ready. I also appreciate that the restaurant has halal certification, which is an important plus for me. The atmosphere is simple but pleasant, clean, and well-kept. Overall, it’s a nice spot to grab a quick and good meal. I might stop by

I usually support Muslim Owned Restaurants, as soon as I walked in, it was a mess!! NO ONE TO ASK, NO ONE TO CLEAN a table which had plates and bones all over. The place was dirty, napkins, forks, food, bones all on the floor. The chairs were torn, I literally dried the table myself!! Took 10+ min just to get a menu. Smh! UNLESS THEY KNOW YOU, THEY DON'T GREET YOU! SAD! A really bad experience. NO PRIVACY IF YOUR COMING WITH FAMILY. Nevertheless when the food arrived it was warm, fresh looking,

I ordered catering for 40 people for a birthday party. Everybody LOVED the food and kept asking where it was from. We had various salads, amazing hummus, chicken, falafel, kofta. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. Will definitely order again. Highly recommend.

The mixed gyro wrap was amazing!!! I should know, I’m Turkish. The fries were perfectly crispy and salted and the baklava… oh. my. gosh. Handmade and delicious. I highly recommend going here for a quick bite to eat and the staff is very friendly and kind!

Delicious, every dish we had! Lamb was amazing and zucchini fritters, Wow! Before appetizers arrived we were offered a “balloon”bread which was fantastic! We were served quickly, not rushed. Waiters were attentive. Reasonably priced, and love the atmosphere. We‘ll be back🇹🇷

You already know it’s going to be an incredible meal when there’s no menu to order off of… Moustafa greeted us warmly when we walked in and recited the menu with familiarity, which changes often based on the ingredients and seasons he has prepared. We ordered the lamb shank with spinach and eggplant dish, which came with couscous and rice. Both were flavorful and cooked to perfection, the meat was falling off the bone! The entire interior was full of art, so cozy and inviting. To enjoy such a
