“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“Every moment of my visit felt carefully crafted. The atmosphere was relaxed, food was amazing, and staff was professional! The place has warmth, good service, and simple design. Waiters provided excellent service alongside innovative food. This place has too many highlights to mention.“

“Goes this place doesn't have a higher rating on Google is beyond me. The falefal is a 5 o ut of 5 The rice is the best I've ever had. It's both soft and creamy almost! I'm having the lamb shish kaboblan special. It is juicy and not chewy. Nothing is ever over salted here or overcooked the many times that I've been here. I even drive here for lunch 20 minutes away, even though there's Middle Eastern places a few minutes away from my job. The beef liver is great. Here the baba ganoush and hummus are tasty. Not oily. Very good lentil soup. It really tastes homemade!“

“This grocery store has many middle eastern products from Halal meats to basmati rice & all kinds of spices and flavors. Also the ready food section is very popular and looks authentic.

Vegetarian options: You can find vegetarian food in the menu.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great time as always“

“First time trying this Lebanese food chain and it exceeds my expectations!

Location: It is located along Madison Avenue behind St. Patricks cathedral. There are few seatings inside.

Service: it is a step by step process. Not that much interaction cause you just have to tell them which choices you want.

Food: I got the Naya Bowl. And it was the best. It is a step by step process so here is what I got.

STEP 1: you can choose naya roll, naya bowl or naya salad. I chose the bowl cause it has rice with vermicelli.

STEP 2: choose 2 meats. I chose beef shawarma which is super tender and flavorful. The second meat was kafta lamb kebab, it was 2 pieces but it was delicious, very moist inside its like a small patty burger.

STEP 3: choose toppings. I chose hummus, tahini, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, feta cheese, chopped romaine.

I got also pistachio baklava and their warm feta bread on the side. This is a must!

Price rating: 7/10 price range. It was not bad, I paid $19 for naya bowl, baklava and bread.

I will definitely come back here to try the other choices.“

“This is my second visit, and the standard remains impressively consistent. This time, I ordered the Lamb burger, Lamb Skewers and Beef Shawarma. The lamb had no unpleasant odor, and what I particularly loved was the Premium Basmati Rice. I find myself questioning how they cook it to achieve such a fluffy texture—it feels like eating a cloud!

The Lava Chicken and Lamb come wrapped in thin, crispy flatbreads infused with aromatic spices and herbs, paired perfectly with their sauce. It’s simply irresistible!

If I were to recommend something, I’d suggest ordering takeout on weekends for gatherings at home. This restaurant is truly outstanding, earning a solid 10/10 rating!“

“This spot combines all the elements that matter when eating out. The food quality impressed everyone present. I found everything here remarkably good. The staff exhibits remarkable kindness while accommodating needs. This place stands above others - I know I'll be back.“

“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!“

“one of my fav restaurants in NYC“

“Great Lunch… Izzy our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. We go here frequently and always a good meal and very accommodating.“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“Love it and love the owners. I’ve been going here for over 30 years“

“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 . . .“

“I dont understand the reviews seriouslyWe made our order via Ubereats and we received all the items, hot and well served. The portions are good and all is good.It said 15 min on ubereats but it was more like 1h15 but We waited and he texted us the time he arrived“

“Loved being able to grab a tasty vegan wrap before a long train ride. I ordered in the station and made it through a long line very quickly with a meal wrapped for later. The flavors were lovely and I was able to choose so many distinct toppings like Lebanese pickles, pickled turnips, slaw, and hot sauce.“

“The neighborhood needed exactly this kind of restaurant. The workers here show remarkable courtesy and competence. The kitchen approaches cooking with genuine care. The pricing reflects the experience level. This restaurant provides dependable service.“
