There's a sea of better options in the area. My $40 entree came with mushy microwaved frozen vegetables and the rest tasted accordingly. Prices charged were even higher than printed on the menu, and those were already way higher than they should be for the quality.

Dining at Rana Fifteen for Rana’s Table felt like being invited into someone’s home for a big, generous feast. The spread just kept coming.. meze, seafood, mains, and dessert—all meant to share, which made the whole experience feel really fun and communal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with a few standout dishes that I kept going back for. It’s the kind of meal where you leave completely full but already thinking about when you’d come back.

Yes, the place isn't exactly sparkling clean, it's dated inside. But the food is absolutely delicious and they ask what you want on your gyro, they don't just dump stuff on it. Worker was very helpful and the food didn't take long. Very filling big portions as well! There are three chairs if you want to eat inside.

You’ve seen table side guac preparation, but have you ever seen a hummus cart? This was definitely a highlight for me. Not just for the spectacle, but also for the flavor —with hummus so creamy and topped with sumac, olive oil, and warm chickpeas. Other standout dishes were the lamb neck and lemon chicken. There are plenty of protein options to please anyone in your party, along with a variety of dips and other sides, and delicious warm bread. Thank you Chris, who took the time to walk us throug

My experience at Red Sea Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was impressed by the restaurant’s warm and welcoming atmosphere. The entire place is impeccably clean, well-organized, and clearly managed with a high level of professionalism. The food was the true highlight of my visit. Every dish was freshly prepared, full of bold and authentic flavors, and presented with great attention to detail. You can immediately tell that the ingredients

So disappointing! The manager swindled us to come in with the price of purchasing a bottle and hookah. He came off very personable but was the only staff in at the time. The first red flag was the cups were filthy so I had to ask him to rewash them. As we got the bottle and chaser, (cranberry juice). As I poured my first drink, I soon realized there was a ROACH In my drink! I let him know and he said he didn’t even want to see it and then proceeded to tell me it was a fruit fly from the limes. I

We had a wonderful experience at this café! The pistachio dessert was absolutely amazing — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It was easily the highlight of our visit. We loved it so much and would definitely come back just for it. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys pistachio desserts!

Hit or Miss. But you need to know… This is not your local hookah spot. This is for Yemeni men. The back seating area which is very nice Yemeni style is for men only. They will not tell you that they will just say “oh we have reservations at 6 o’clock” and so we sat in the front and no one came in at 6 o’clock and there was plenty of empty rooms but anyway I get it because it’s for the men. Now at least the hookah should be good. It was not this time. I came before a few time, sat in the front, a

Good 👍🏻 For three years I have been eating lamb ribs with rice and white sauce at this restaurant. It’s very tasty. The service here is very convenient. If you work late or are a taxi driver, you can eat delicious food here even at 1:00 am so you don’t have to wait 20 minutes for your dish. Call the phone number and make an order and you will arrive in 20 minutes, your dish will be ready, the service is very good guys, very friendly, everything is always fresh, I recommend this place because m

My family and I genuinely love Yemeni food, so when we found this place nearby, we were excited to try it. That excitement didn’t last long. From the moment I walked in, something felt off, the entrance door literally screeches like a warning sign telling you to turn around. I should have trusted that instinct. I ordered two lamb chop platters at over $45 each, along with a few additional items. Despite placing a pickup order, I still waited about 30 minutes after arriving. When I finally got h

I came for the hookah but the food was the star of the show! The lamb chips, chicken kebab and rice, wings, and cheese fries are all worth ordering. The salad that the entrees come with is absolutely delicious!! The hookah was well made, very smooth and long lasting. The service was good and the ambience was very chill.

Absolutely phenomenal food! I could not believe such delicious food came out of a teeny tiny kitchen but they surely made the magic happen. Each dish was brilliantly plated and presented as if it were being served at a dine in restaurant. The chicken shawarma dish was moist, flavorful, delectably seasoned and well complemented with the fresh Jerusalem salad rice. My partner opted for one of the lamb dishes which was fragrant, aromatic and overall a savory delight. If this place were a bigger sit

The food here is good quality and great portions as you can see from the double cheeseburger combo picture. It’s one of the better halal food spots that are in NYC. The only downside would be that it doesn’t have any good seating but to be honest, halal food is usually takeout anyway so its not a big deal at all. I have been here multiple times and the quality and service have been consistently good.

A nice and quiet place to hangout with your friends and family. I think the ownership has been changed to this place and that's why the restaurant is not fully packed with all food items. But that didn't stop them to deliver good service and quality food. They have a decent place to sit and enjoy your meal.

I ordered a burger and found a piece of metal wire inside. This is not just неприятно — it’s dangerous for your health. Luckily, I noticed it before taking a bite. Quality control is clearly lacking. After this, I have no desire to order from here again.

I got the beef lyulya kebab wrapped in traditional Armenian lavash, and it was absolutely delicious! Perfectly seasoned and super flavorful. The service here is top-notch—the staff is incredibly welcoming and polite. Def hit the spot. 5 stars all the way!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The music created such a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the eggplant salad — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was excellent as well: attentive, friendly, and very professional. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

~ Quick Halal bite for the economy ~ Chicken is dried. Lamb is better than chicken but way too salty. Combo platter is cold. It could be much better warm. Generous portion for the price. The place is clean and so bright- that's a good sign. Service is the best part of all and is excellent.

Big portions,fresh and clean…the shawerma is ok(it’s done with addition of their Georgian spices and sauces)Its not the traditional shawerma …wish they had regular shawerma option…the Wrap is thin and crunchy…cake fresh(doesn’t smell like fridge),but a little bit dry…their khachapuri s good

Great food and service here! The lady at the cash register was very patient and kind, as well as extremely helpful. The prices are amazing! I had a full meal (imeruli and a drink) for $6!

Notes: Rating for the style of food, and the only other good Halal cart/halal spot in the area outside of Turkish places is the similarly priced King of Shawarma & Falafel, which has worse quality meat. Also, they make the chapli kabobs to order, as they should, so order early or order something else if you're in a hurry. Finally, I have no clue how someone spent $20 on a salad unless they got Seamless or something (call the spot/go in to avoid all these issues.) This is the brick-and-mortar lo

This restaurant brings back the importance of having a chef interact with his customers, someone who really cares about who he’s about to serve. For the quality of food you get, the prices are worth it and the flavors are immaculate. My jaw literally dropped after the first taste of each plate he handed me and you can feel the essence of genuine love in every dish he curates for you. Go in and ask him to make you whatever he suggests, and you’ll understand what food is supposed to taste like.

First time at a NAYA! Very similar to a Cava / Mezze with bowl + wraps. Stopped by on an early Sat afternoon and there was ample seating. I decided to get a Chicken Shawarma bowl bc it seemed basic enough. However, I did ask the server what protein they preferred and they said the Lamb, so they generously added a piece of Lamb at no extra cost! l also trusted the server choose the toppings and sauces to add + it didn't disappoint! I got the side of pita to round out my first time. Overall, the

Nice atmosphere and vibe, with welcoming service. While the staff was transparent on the serving sizes (one skewer!), the price to quantity is steep. The quality of some items were excellent (lamb skewers, fries), while others were bland, cold, or sparing for what are traditionally cheap and easy to make items (chicken plate, maitake skewer, caesar salad). This really feels like a place focused more on the drinks and the dip tasting than the other items as stand-alones or sharing. Overall, for

Very nice place. The decor and ambiance is great. The seats are comfy and the hookahs are smooth (Russians). Flavors are also great and they have good people working there that provide nice and friendly service. I would highly recommend, I went there for my birthday and they were very accommodating. Street parking pretty easy to find.

I am so glad Zara opened another branch on Austin Street in Forest Hills. The decors are a treat for the eye and the foods are a treat for your tummy. To go with the free unique bread, I ordered with mixed appetizers, ribeye steak, lamb chops and salmon shish kebabs, everything was cooked to perfection. However in this location, the service needs improvement! Although my table waiter and the staffs like who came to serve the food on the table were polite but those who came to clean the table

If you’re looking for a place that serves incredible food without emptying your wallet, Flame Kabob and Grill is it. The prices are more than fair, but what really makes it stand out is the value — for what you’re paying, you’re getting generous portions of fresh, flavorful food that will actually fill you up. One of my absolute favorites here is the Family Platter. It’s huge — perfect for families who want a real meal without spending $40+ on greasy fast food that barely touches your kids’ hun

Had an amazing dinner here last night. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The restaurant is clean, beautifully decorated, which we really appreciated. It’s the perfect place for a daily meal. 10/10 service!

Every visual choice enhances rather than distracts from dining. Each bite offers wonderful flavor! The establishment's head person demonstrated remarkable friendliness. The service sets this restaurant apart. The price structure matches the quality.

Chicken was exquisite better than Popeyes believe that and the service was amazing real nice guy check them out.

Love this place! We went for the Fifa game for Egypt vs.Iran and had a blast! Our seats were available as soon as we got there. Food was amazing, lemon mint juice( soooo refreshing and perfect). They had big screen tvs all over the venue so that whereever you looked you were able to see the game. Service and vibe was great. We had a great time and the win made the experience even better!! Thank you for an amazing time!

Look, if you order this for delivery through DoorDash or whomever, it’s going to show up cold or a mess. It’s not on Hamza. I love this place. Dine in. Get fries with your chicken on rice. And chill. Staff are kind. Food is a great value for money. It is what it says it is and what it is is good. The sauces are flavorful, the rice is cooked well and has the right amount of spices. Halal cart style but you can eat fresh off the grill inside.

Already knew the food was amazing, but when we sat to eat in, found the hospitality amazing too. There’s a covered patio in back for a comfortable long-format meal, and seats up front for casual diners. Chef is friendly and welcoming. All the dishes are excellent. Our new go-to for Turkish, which is a high praise in Bay Ridge.

Halal food restaurant , sell food by weight , very testy and fresh good food . Egyptian owners daughter in management and kitchen, love this food.

Walked in security seems decent and polite, get inside I expected air-conditioning but at best you get a weak Misty cool , dance floor is cute for small crowds..speakers are not built for high volume sounds terrible. Because it was a friend's birthday I was attending I said let me stay and order a drink...I asked for two White Russians they were delicious! BUT $24 A PIECE...I almost fell off my stool..never again.

One of the best shawarma we ever had in NYC. Just stumbled across this place, small cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff. The shawarma flavor is perfectly balanced. They load it with the sides and even gave us extra fries in the sides. Everything was fresh and spot on. Five stars!

Came here for a friend’s birthday with a party of 16 guests. The ambiance is cozy and cute but I personally thought it was way too dark for a restaurant. I could barely see what I was eating. I understand if it was a bar but it’s a full blown restaurant. The service was just okay. It took so long for our drinks to get to our table even though the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrive and a lot of us just got beers… I felt like our waitress was either serving the whole restaurant in areas

Wow really good food! Definitely a basic restaurant in terms of tables and chairs and decor, but the food is so delicious and the service is great. The fresh soft bread is huge and so yummy and only like $3. We got the Mandy Lamb with rice which was excellent, and the hummus. The tea is black and sweet and the music was beautiful! Definitely will return. Definitely recommend. Decent prices too. Oh and the soup and salad were both delish! Like a curry chicken broth and tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuc

amazing place, fast demand workers, food is amazing. Great texture & fresh ! The guy with long hair and black shirt was very outstanding worker. He helped my order and it went great !

We loved the lamb and rice. It tasted so fresh and flavorful. Also the bread to shush was really hot and tasty My only advice is to make the soup less watery. Other than that amazing service and food.

Worst halal platter I have ever had. First, the flavor/spices was non-existent, there were no aromas or unique spices to make this plate flavorful like the popular cart food in nyc. Second, I got a combo and I can count like 2-3 pieces of lamb, the entire thing was basically chicken. Also, huge chucks of the chicken thighs which was rubbery (tales of over cooking and probably being out). Lastly, for the $14 price point this was overpriced for the quality! Service was slow, waited a while when n

Just came here for the first time! The food was so flavorful and they made it so quickly! The portions were very generous too. Don’t overlook the fries, they have this amazing seasoning on them!

Everything tasted incredibly fresh and the flavors were delicious from the crispy falafel to the vibrant, crunchy salad. You can really tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. Definitely coming back!

German Doner Kebab is decent overall, but more in a “solid and reliable” way rather than anything super memorable when it comes to the main doner itself. The meat is cooked well and tastes fine, but it doesn’t really stand out compared to other kebab spots. What really makes the experience is everything around it. The fries are genuinely a highlight—fresh, crisp, and consistently good, not soggy or overly oily. And the sauces are honestly the best part of the whole meal. They’re flavorful, well

Got the food delivered from Uber. Not the biggest fan of how the bags are sealed. Felt like it was pretty easy to tamper with the food without breaking the seal, but that’s my only issue. The food was really good, especially the gyro, and when I passed by recently the inside of the store looked very clean.

I’ve been here twice. Prices are amazing for the amount and the quality of the food! The staff is genuinely so nice and help me, a person with anxiety about ordering my food, order without any issue. Super friendly check in when we eat in!

We hired Cedar Star Catering for my daughters bat mitzvah party and I cannot say enough amazing things about the experience. Raisie, the chef, was simply incredible—super knowledgeable, creative, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our event space did not have a kitchen, yet Raisie handled everything seamlessly. She rented all the proper heating and kitchen equipment, set everything up efficiently, and made the entire process completely stress-free. Her attent

Customer service excellent; guy was super nice and hospitable. Unfortunately 3 things irked me. The meat they gave me was not a lot. After seeing how little protein he gave me, I asked him to give me $2 extra meat. He picked up a couple little block pieces of chicken and put it on and apparently that was $2 worth.. Number 2, he was using tonsils to put the chicken on the rice instead of using the cleaver. I have never seen that method but it definitely is like watching paint dry. Number 3 wa

Pretty fairly priced quick food, but portions were a little too small. They had a lot of options for toppings and proteins, however I only got a few pieces of chicken. The flavor was good though and it came with a soft warm pita on the side.
