My first time here, and my husband made a same-day reservation to celebrate my birthday. We arrived 45 minutes early and were seated immediately. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and kind. The service and food were both exceptional. At the end of our meal, they surprised me with not just one birthday dessert, but two. Then they turned on music, and the entire staff came over to celebrate with me. I’ve never felt so celebrated and cared for by complete

I love this restaurant! Authentic Turkish food with good service and great atmosphere! Good for brunch with friends. I have been here a number of times over the years. The food was delicious big portions, good for sharing. The servers were attentive

This is a rustic experience in an area away from the bright lights of Times Square. I had the combination lamb and chicken adana kebab which came with rice, salad and bread. The portion was enormous so no issues with value. The food was delicious and well seasoned.

We tried the cigar rolls with cheese, fried halloumi, malfouf, and mansaf. First of all, the décor was absolutely beautiful, with so much Palestinian art throughout the space. It truly felt like you were stepping into the dining room of a Palestinian home. The cheese cigar rolls were delicious, they were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and generously filled with melted cheese. The fried halloumi was a little too salty for my taste, but if you enjoy saltier cheeses, you might love it

Your average run off the mill middle easter restaurant. It is fully Halal, but nothing extremely unique or popping in terms of the food. With that said it’s not bad food at all just average, the ambiance and vibe of the outside and inside make up for it ! The homemade drinks were pretty good to ! Overall a safe i option to choose from just nothing unique, prices are fair to !

Excellent Brunch Menu including your choice of cocktail 🥂 The staff is superb and the diner atmosphere is absolutely perfect (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

I had an amazing experience at this Turkish restaurant. The food was absolutely spectacular — every dish was rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back and highly recommen

Ayah is now one of my favorite restaurants. The food/beverages, service and atmosphere where all top notch. The ambiance is stunning: intricate lanterns, layered textures, and warm lighting create a space that feels immersive, intimate, and luxurious. We sat at the bar and were served by Mia. Phenomenal bartender and our service was 10/10! Adrian's cocktails are also incredibly balanced, highly suggest you ask the bar for recommendations! For food, we had the 'Meat Platter'. A perfectly prepa

Excellent Turkish food in a hidden place packed with Turkish customers speaking Turkish--highly authentic. Even on a busy Saturday night, the crew was motivated and attentive. Our server normally works the kitchen but jumped in to help — that kind of all-hands-on-deck energy made the whole experience feel warm and genuine. The Yaprak Döner (N1) was spectacular. The marinade on the meat was incredibly flavorful — easily one of the best gyros we’ve had. We also tried the Hünkar Beğendi Lamb (N8).

I recently visited Merci Baku Cafe & Bakery and I’m still thinking about their tarts. They’re honestly the highlight of the place big, generous slices, beautifully made, and perfectly balanced in taste. The crust is soft and buttery, the fillings are rich and fresh, and nothing feels overly sweet just the right amount. If you go there, you have to try the tarts. They look amazing and taste even better you can tell they’re made with care. They also have a wide variety of cookies, and everything I

Located at 7721 5th Ave in Brooklyn NY the restaurant Yemenat brings you authentic Yemeni cuisine that you will remember! The parking in Bayridge is a little tricky but I can tell you the hassle is worth it! The exterior is clean and inviting, the interior is very clean and inviting with around 30-40 seats. They are open everyday from 1:00pm to 11:00pm, I did a late lunch/early dinner around 2:30pm and was able to get a seat without a reservation. The servers were friendly and informative and he

Authentic Lebanese food, desserts, and people. Dined at Chamoun with a couple of friends and was beyond satisfied with the quick service and serving sizes. The place really fills a niche for light traditional Lebanese food in the heart of the city. The atmosphere was incredibly cosey, and it felt like a classic hangout spot back in Beirut with the way the staff interacted with us. We also had Kunafah for dessert, and it was freshly made on the premises! Definitely pop by and give them a try. Up

Very cool small place that I would never have found without a friends recommendation. Order at the counter, sit at one of something like 6 tables, get your food delivered to the table in paper plates and eat said food. Very basic atmosphere and service, but perfectly suitable for the vibe on offer. Food is generally good, I found most offerings too salty but that may just be me. The home made noodles were the highlight for me, beef products were generally not too good, lamb better. Menu is large

My family and I visited Degirmen in Brighton Beach yesterday for the first time, and we had a wonderful experience. The food was truly authentic Turkish cuisine, and every dish we ordered was delicious. We enjoyed the meat salad, hummus, cheeseburger, fried cheese rolls, meat pide, creamy lamb soup, and their special baklava for dessert. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. The service was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. It's not

One of the best Moroccan restaurant I’ve been to. Every dish is full of authentic Moroccan flavor, and you can really taste the quality. The tangia was incredible—the meat was so tender it literally melted in my mouth, full of rich, delicious flavor. The bakoula was my favorite and the best I’ve ever had. Everything tasted homemade, just like in Morocco. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real M

This is the second time I’ve gotten food from this café. I’d like to say a few words. The food is prepared very well—it’s delicious. The prices are a bit on the high side, admittedly, but the most important things—the quality of the food and the service—are excellent. I ordered a dish with two eggs but received only one; by way of apology, they treated me to a complimentary dessert. I highly recommend it.

We came here for my sister’s birthday dinner with my family and absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the space felt very cozy and homey, with a beautiful karaoke/music area and twinkle lights that created such a fun, welcoming vibe. Our waiter, Aynura, was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We also had the pleasure of meeting the restaurant owner, who was such a kind and welcoming man. He was very helpful

Absolutely loved my experience at Sands of Persia in New York! If you’re looking for a unique restaurant with amazing food, cocktails, ambiance and a perfect spot for a fun dinner with friends or date night, this place is definitely worth visiting. The atmosphere is beautiful, stylish and full of energy while still feeling cozy and welcoming. The staff was also incredibly friendly, attentive and made the whole experience even better. We started with the Ferrero Rocher Martini and wow… such a de

Been coming here with my friends for about a year. The main server recognizes us always and is so so sweet to us (not only bc he recognizes us, he’s always been very welcoming and informative). Coming from a middle eastern family and moving to nyc was nerve wrecking but coming here for holidays and Eid makes me feel at home. Definitely recommend. (The flat iron location has the Dubai chocolate, west 4th location is still worth it for the desserts like kunefe)

Great job over here, the food was delicious and was great for the first time I ate it. Definitely a spot to come again too.

Gyro King is a hidden gem. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made to order. The lamb meat, is my favorite amazing portions are great! was perfectly seasoned, the portions were generous, and everything tasted authentic. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure my order was exactly right. The restaurant was clean, service was fast, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a full meal, Gyro King delivers every

Excellent Turkish food and a wonderful dining experience! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, the appetizers were authentic and delicious, and the desserts were the perfect ending to the meal. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place for both family dinners and casual nights out. One of the best Turkish restaurants in Bay Rid

Had a great experience at Stix Kosher Restaurant in Forest Hills. The food was really flavorful, especially the kebabs and grilled meats—everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. I tried the shish kebab and salmon skewers, and both were excellent. The rice pilaf and grilled vegetables were a great addition to the meal. For dessert, the baklava was delicious and not overly sweet, and the dumplings were a nice surprise. Overall, a solid spot if you’re craving Middle Eastern and Central Asian

Amazing turkish food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous and the service was great. Highly recommend if you’re in Queens!”

Great bang for your buck! Food was filled to the brim and they give you extra white sauce on the side. This and a can of soda came out to $11. Limited seats so if Its packed you would have to find somewhere else to sit. The fries were crispy, the salad was good. I would recommend trying it out!

Food is amazing but they charge more about $5-10 extra if you are not one of those who speak their native language. I had this experience more than 20 times. I can't understand why they treat non Arab people different. So be careful. Otherwise food is 5 star and service is awful.

I was craving falafel for a hot minute and This place just hit different!!! Sooo good! Excellent service with a smile, I annihilated the whole falafel plate. Sooo worth it! Definitely wanna come here if you love fresh food friendly service in a clean pleasant atmosphere. They even have free Quran’s and desserts. Highly recommended! Definite customer for life. Kid friendly and culturally diverse. Love it. Aksam was so friendly and a great salesman in the best way. Ask for him

I can only recommend it! Authentic Moroccan cuisine in one of New York’s nicest neighborhoods, absolutely succulent and must-try! 😍

The food was good , I ordered the mix Shawarma bowl and a side of falafel which was crispy outside but not cooked inside i didn’t like it, but overall experience was good

It’s been a long time since I’ve had Uzbek food this delicious. It’s simply top-notch. I highly recommend it. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience—it was fantastic, and I’m left with a great impression. I had really missed this cuisine.

This place was awesome! We had the lunch specials. Very generous portions and well presented. Beef shawarma platter was huge! Baba gannoush was best I’ve had. Beef was tender and perfectly seasoned- delicious. The lentil soup was perfect - the taste and color. These guys are masters of middle eastern seasoning - this is the magic to this restaurant. Everything tasted so good. The pita made in house and comes out steaming. We were there at 2pm - no wait. Highly recommend this resta

This is what you get for mixed grill. Very less kebab, a lot of gyro. Gyro was burnt. Chicken gyro dry and greasy at the same time. It was not a pleasant experience. Unnecessarily expensive for the food you’re getting. Hope they change recipes. This didn’t taste good.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Sophia Grill in Long Island - it's definitely one of the top restaurants in the area! My entire family loves dining here because the food is exceptional and the service is always top-notch. We make it a point to visit at least once a week, and we always leave feeling satisfied and impressed. Our server today, Solomone, was particularly outstanding - she checked in on us every 10 minutes to ensure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a fantastic dining e

i love this spot! the staff here are always so warm and welcoming, and the food is excellent— i love the lamb shawarma wrap and the hummus & labneh are both some of the best i’ve had. you can tell each dish is prepared with intention and everything is always fresh. i have only positive feedback to share about this place and strongly recommend it!

This was some place! My friend actually recommended coming here so I agreed. At first I was skeptical because it was a pretty far commute for us. About 30 minutes on the highway which was at night where supposedly there is no traffic. Secondly, the place this sits in is a pretty secluded part of town where a couple of other places like a dispensary and a Buffalo Wild Wings also share the space. It sits conveniently in front of a bus stop and right next door to a mini mall with private parking. S

The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare Middle Eastern halal cuisine. It has late hours. Several tables are available for dining inside or outside but there are no servers. Sandwiches, sides, special deals and beverages are on the menu. I ordered a lamb pita sandwich and french fries. The food was very good and tasty but it was a small portion.

Amazing decor with a custom-made sound system and live DJ that sets a great vibe. The Middle Eastern sharing plates were very tasty: the beetroot carpaccio, bread salad, fresh tahini, and hummus were absolute highlights. However, the roasted sweet potato was a bit of a low light, and the meal overall lacked the final finesse for a full five stars. Still a great spot for a special night out with very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

The Turkish Pizza is a bomb! I have been looking for that for a long time since I have able to try it in Turkey itself, it’s so hard to find the same exact taste! And here this restaurant nailed it! I ordered chicken gyro like shawarma wrap and the chicken was really tasty. Also chicken platter was really good.

I haven’t visited the restaurant in person yet, but I recently ordered delivery through Uber Eats. The food arrived fairly quickly, which was a plus. However, the Super Hot Dog was nearly impossible to eat due to excessive filling and very poor packaging—most of the toppings and sauce ended up in the bag rather than on the food, which made the experience messy and frustrating. I also ordered the chicken doner. Overall, it was a decent dish: the fries were incredibly tasty, but the chicken left a

This place is pretty good overall. One thing I really like is that you can watch them grill the chicken fresh, and the chicken is shredded rather than served in large chunks. They also offer sides that you don’t typically find at similar spots, such as fermented red cabbage, tomato and cucumber salad, and fries. The restaurant has seating and a restroom, which is convenient. It does get very busy, and service can be a bit slow at times since they handle a high volume of delivery orders as well.

They served me spoiled salmon fish !!! I took the food home and ate it right away it was slimy and not good , I vomited out the food within 30 mins of eating it . You should Hire workers with more knowledge of what food is good or bad to serve , you guys hire new to the country workers and pay them under minimum wage cash off the books that don’t know any better so they serve whatever they find without questioning it. Restaurant owner should stop being greedy for money !!! All your food especial

I had the lentil soup, Turkish meatballs, mom’s okra, and Sultan’s Delight — everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The menu blends traditional Turkish flavors with a modern twist, and they’ve done it so well. The atmosphere is cozy and chic, with an aesthetic that made me feel right at home. Loved everything about it! A side note: if you’re paying with Blackbird, they automatically add a 20% tip which is not a problem for me

I find myself coming here quite often, and the food is consistently amazing. I also really appreciate how they treat everyone in here with such kindness and warmth. It seems like you guys are absolutely passionate about halah food. You definitely need to try their halah munchies!

Amazing vendor to use for catering! They are so responsive and quick as well to provide information. I initially reached out to Zabi over the phone and he immediately provided all of the details, menu options, and pricing. He was very good about communicating over text and phone. My sister visited the location in person and worked with Saba. They treated her with so much hospitality while she was there and while building out the order. Saba provided great guidance and recommendations on which o

My first experience trying an Afghan food and Wow was it good! I had the Bronzini which was cooked to perfection. At one with a group of girlfriends and every single person completely clear their plate. The service was amazing and the restaurant itself has a really relaxed ambience. If you've ever wanted to try food from Afghanistan and are in the Queens area I 100% recommend Kabuli Grill. Oh and don't forget to order Firnee for dessert! Taste better than Creme Brulee!

We had an amazing experience at Gyro Kings! The service was absolutely excellent from start to finish. The person attending us was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely considerate, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of during our visit. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared (even at night) You can really tell they care about both the quality of the food and the customer experience. On top of that, the restaurant was very clean and kept in

Amazing Middle Eastern restaurant with an authentic and welcoming vibe. The host was great and the environment was very friendly. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and well seasoned, the kabab was juicy and full of flavor, and the shawarma was authentic and spot on. The cheese fteera (pie) was delicious, and the fries were very unique and a great side. Everything we tried was fresh and satisfying. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Delicious restaurant in Brooklyn! Shout out to artist and First Lady Rama Duwaji for the recommendation (saw it on her IG). The food was freaking delicious and so were the (nonalcoholic) drinks. Definitely try the basil lemonade. The potatoes were excellent (and comped as it took a while for our main plates to arrive), and I would go back JUST for those potatoes. I recommend the Shish Barak for sure, the sauce was amazing. The flavors were so good ! I suggest ordering and sharing several plates.

We stumbled upon this place today with few expectations and left absolutely delighted. Wonderful service and excellent food - DEFINITELY coming back. We recommend the Muhammarah and the fattat jaj. With the nice weather, we were hoping to sit on the roof, but it was closed. Is there a timeframe around when that’ll open back up?

If you’re looking for real, authentic Middle Eastern food, Al Reef Restaurant is on another level. The food is absolutely packed with flavor—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and consistent every time. From the grilled meats to the appetizers, everything tastes like it’s made with pride. The service is just as impressive—fast, friendly, and they treat you like family. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and always lively. Honestly, this place doesn’t miss. If you know good food, you’ll appreciate wha
