“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“Best Egyptian food in the area!!“

“Teddy’s has a large selection of food for good prices! I tried the Spanakopita, falafel, the stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and greek salad. Everything was very good! I only wish they had a regular greek dressing and that the olives in the salad were pitted. Everything else was perfect delicious and satisfying! My partner had a grilled chicken salad and loved it. The service was great! They were very friendly and helpful!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options, but would love to see a vegan gyro with seitan or tofu (a veg protein).

Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options.“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“My new favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing.“

“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“This is my first time coming here with my family and definitely we will come back. the best falafel and hummus I never had in New York their shawarma too it so delicious, the store is very clean and the workers are very welcoming. I really recommend this place for everyone who is looking for clean and delicious food.“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Gazala's. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan. Excellent food. Very friendly and professional staff. Even the pickiest members of our party enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.“

“I’ve been going to mamoun’s since 2009 (back when a falafel was only $2.50!). I CRAVE this place every time I’m in nyc. The OG NYC falafel and still the best I’ve ever had in the USA. They’re now a small chain. This is the original location and the only one worth going to. The other more corporate locations are not as good. Beware, the hot sauce is INSANELY hot, and they are cash only.“

“The beautiful, intimate atmosphere and absolutely top notch comfort food would be worth it alone - BUT the service was also awesome. After we were graciously seated without a reservation (try to book ahead because you really won't want to miss this place), the staff was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Absolutely everything we had was wonderful but the knafeh actually brought a tear to my eye. ❤️ Absolutely would recommend 5 out of 5 stars.“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“Happily surprised with how delicious this food was!!! I’m still dreaming of the baby lamb sandwich. The pita bread was soft, fresh and not too thick. First time trying a sea food pizza and it was heavenly and flavorful.

100% recommend. Very friendly service. The mint tea and baklawa were the perfect treat and amuse-Bouche to the meal.

Reasonable prices for quality. Variety of traditional middle eastern appetizers and comfort dishes.

Vegetarian options: Most of the appetizer vegetarian with main dishes that include falafel and eggplant.“

“The food was so delicious and the ingredients tasted super fresh and of high quality. The staff was very nice and helped us choose - since we wanted everything on the menu. The place has a beautiful warm cozy but clean design, and we could feel the nice warmth of the big tabun oven from our table.

I would recommend and come back! The frena bread and hummus are obviously a must!“

“Some might be hesitant to enter a place with decor reflecting the current war. Personally for me, it makes it more culturally significant and interesting. Now throw away the politics: it’s some of the best falafel in NYC, and for me at least, falafel is a serious food item to be discussed and debated. The shawarma and hummus is also totally legit. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome which is great. For folks from places where this fare is less available, I think it’s a worthy inclusion in any Bay Ridge food tour.“

“Food was delicious, service prompt and pleasant. Ambiance is fabulous“

“Each time I eat here I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try: My office is nearby and my coworkers and I have a tier list for 35+ local restaurants of all varieties. This one is at spot number 1. Their falafel is peerless, impeccable and downright divine. The chicken shawarma bursts with flavor within you and has a beautiful contrasting crust. The fries are gorgeous and extremely flavorful. The hummus is perfect.“

“Kubeh did an AMAZING job with a recent big catered meal at our home. Food, service, warmth, kindness, etc all A+++. Everyone loved every bite. We've also had a great time and loved the meal every time we've eaten at the restaurant. One of our NYC faves!“

“A beautiful and clean place that has everything you need, including halal food and sweets“

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Fire Kabob and WOW! This place is great! Clean dining area and SUPER friendly staff. We ordered 2 plates, chicken and Lamb and then a side of eggplant burani. The food is fresh and delicious! The rice and homemade sauces are excellent. It also came with a side of bread and salad. Can't wait to try out all their other items, we will definitely be back. I would post pics but we scarfed down every bit of it. It's a must try! Chicken and Lamb - Tender and cooked perfect. Eggplant Burani - a must try, unlike anything I have ever tried. Rice - seasoned perfect and you get a lot of it. Def try the sauces that come with it.“

“I only got the falafel sandwich but OH MY DAYS was it good. First bite of that falafel:🤤 crunchy outside n moist interior. Listen man- they not cappin when they say it’s fresh here. The pita, the veggies, the falafel. I didn’t want it to end. HANDS DOWN BEST FALAFEL SAMMICH IN NY😮‍💨🔥🐗“

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“Favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Brooklyn in such a central location. Their food is amazing and so delicious but their baba ganoush? Hands down, my FAVORITE item on their menu. I have not found another baba ganoush that comes close to how delicious their's is. The servers are so generous and refills the pita (which comes out hot and fresh). In a time where restaurant prices are astronomical, Bedouin Tent somehow keeps their prices relatively low for the quality of their food. I've come several times already and look forward to coming back“

“A very nice place to check out if you’re into mediterranean cuisine! Excellent vegetarian options and delicious food. But if you’re someone who enjoys good service like me then this is not the place. after being sat down for 15 mins the server gave the menu. After reminding 3 times, we finally got water which was bottled and we were not told about I assumed they would bring tap water and on top of that they will randomly put 15% or 18% tip irrespective of party size. Waiting for menu for 15 mins and then waiting for water not sure what kind of service one is getting and to top it off getting the drinks ordered post meal! Again if you’re a foody then this a good place to try but not for the service.“

“One of my favorite lunch places. Fresh, healthy, and delicious.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere and excellent service. Love Oasis ❤️“

“Great spot in a crowded neighborhood filled with bougie restaurants. Got the chicken shawarma sandwich, which was easy to grab and take on a stroll to Brooklyn Bridge Park. I'm not crazy about Mediterranean food, but this was very enjoyable.“

“Small restaurant/menu but the food was very good, service attentive and friendly. The babaganoush and fresh pita were delicious and the grilled murguez sausage/chicken/vegetable platter was exceptional.“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“We had the pleasure of dining in your restaurant last week, We instantly loved the mediterranean style atmosphere of your place. We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent. Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“Best restaurant I've ever found in midtown (and I've been here for a few years). . . . FIVE STARS! after having Tawook Chicken or Lamb Kabob for dinner I like to take home some Mouhamara and some hummus, especially on a Friday, for snacking. Balade helps get me through the weekend. 😄 I'm sharing a pic of some of Balade's fresh, delicious, Mouhamara on a diced up baked red potato. I had this at home this morning. It's also great on pita, or a cracker, or a slice of toast, or . . .“

“Deliciously spicy and authentic Lebanese food . Fresh tasting Lebasnes and midlleeastern foods. including fusion like shawarma quesadilla!

One of the best falafels in recent memory as well, with an amazingly creamy and light, yet not bitter tahini sauce . Spinach sumac triangles and hummus excellent as well ! Haven't been in a while and will be coming back regularly!“

“I love it nice food friendly ppl thank you“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Nice environment, relaxing music, love the chicken sandwich and lamb Haneeth sandwich waffle fries are delicious I’m hooked on brown sugar cardemon iced coffee and service is always with a Smile no indoor seating yet but they do have limited outdoor seating a must try other foods and beverages available 😃“

“Very good falafel. Quite pricey. Nice and fast service.“

“Went late at night and they didn’t have any shawarma so I got chicken Kabab sandwich in pita it was really good. Rotisserie was okay nothing special. Kibbeh was very good. Only bad thing was their sauce. Did not like it at all, I asked for toum he said that was it but it wasn’t. Just want pure toum straight up garlic goes great with anything. Overall not a bad experience wish I got to try more stuff. PLEASE MAKE GOOD TOUM !!!“

“Haneeth - a couple of bone-in lamb over rice with stew veggy. Very good and tender. Some parts of lamb were a bit dry but the stewed veg and included soup helped. It also came with salad.The flat bread looks good.There is complimentary pour your own tea carafe in the back - it's sweet and spiced.You order at the counter and they bring food to you.They just tell you price at the end.  There is only 1 menu in whole place? And it's hidden“

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“Wow. It was so good. Everything about it was good. The service (Marin was amazing), the food was delicious, healthy and very big portions…. And just pleasant great experience. My boyfriend says he’s coming back every week after this, his new favorite place.

Vegetarian options: There are lots , grilled vegetables, hummus, eggplant, salads.“

“-Casual Palestinian Spot-
Halloumi wrap is so rich and delicious. Menus are crowd pleasers variety mixed ranging from burgers to falafel to wraps to hummus to vegan dishes. I will have to return to try something else. Ambience is laid back filled with folk arts, political posters and messages.

Dietary restrictions: No

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“Very good food, vibe, and staff. My friend and I shared some amazing lamb kebab and beitenjan. The eggplant in the beitenjan was a bit softer than I prefer, and the dish was very sweet. Even still, it was delicious! The lamb was amazing, too. The limonana was perfect. We dined on the deck upstairs under some charming string lights which created a very cute and intimate atmosphere. The staff was so friendly, too! I look forward to coming back to try more dishes.“

“Tasty fast and most conviniant place to have your order on your hands just after few seconds :$)“
