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

“I had my 49th birthday dinner here and it was fantastic. The food was perfectly cooked, delicious, and fresh. The service was just as good along with nice environment where me and my family felt comfortable eating and trying new foods. Sabry’s restaurant gets an A+ rating.......“

“Fantabulous Ambience. Lively and lovely staff. Great food. Loved everything.“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“We loved the food! We loved everything, and we loved the food! We brought our mum who complains about all the food, and she loved the food - the chicken kebab with lentil puree, lamb pitza, pita, muhammara, ouzi, baklava :) We’ll be back!“

“Absolutely Incredible Experience! “I cannot recommend Alkofeia highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The authentic Palestinian flavors were absolutely unforgettable — every dish was vibrant, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The fresh homemade pita, the perfectly spiced lamb ouzi, and the shawarma platter were all standout dishes. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere just added to the whole experience. The attention to detail, from the olive oil appetizer to the dessert, showed how much care goes into every plate. This is hands-down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants we’ve ever visited, and we’ll be back again and again! Highly recommend to anyone who loves real, heartfelt cuisine.” ❤️“

“solid spread - muhammara is a must. great dips and the chicken shawarma was really good. sweet potato and salmon were phenomenal as well. great flavor all round, smaller portions. really nice spot to catch up with friends and easier res to get. not a omg wow but super solid and good neighborhood go to.“

“Best food! Great people!!!“

“Had the falafel sandwich like many times as a vegan, but this was soooo good. Crispy outside, soft moist inside. Your choice of “salads”/pickled veggies to add into it. I had baba ghanoush, Julienne pickled carrots , and a cubed roasted eggplant, onion, and tomato. So flavorful without being overpowering w any one ingredient. Eddy makes everything homemade by hand. Everything! The falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, the pickles, the pita. Pita so good. Large thick and soft. My friends had a beef kabob sandwich and chicken plate. They said it was delicious.

“Great, i love this place.“

“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!“

“Good food, very interesting and pretty unique or original Mediterranean dishes. I enjoyed everything I tried, however, nothing left me excited to try more. It's quite pricey. The ambiance is really nice, but the tables are too close together and it can get loud.“

“Sooo delicious!!! Wonderful staff. Great owners!!“

“3 Falafel plates, 1 Spinach pie plus drinks for $50.

The food is AMAZING!!!!!!

I can't stress enough how good it is here.

If you live locally and don't come here, well I think your mad.

If you are visiting Manhattan and don't come across the water to eat here. Well I still think your mad.

This is how Falafel and Hummus is supposed to taste.“

“It is the best persian food I have tried in New York. The staff was friendly and professional.The owner is very kind, also he is the former goal keeper of Persepolis soccer team of Iran.“

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

“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.“

“אוכל זה לא הצד החזק של ניו יורק. נקודה! (גם קפה) גילינו ששף ישראלי פתח מסעדה, אלי בוסקילה שמו. נסענו לוויליאמסבורג לבדוק. המסעדה נקראת ״המסיבה״ ואכן היתה שם מסיבה גדולה. מקום מקסים, מעוצב בצורה מדהימה, רמת שירות גבוהה שלא רואים בכל מקום, כל כל הרבה עובדים מקצועיים ומסבירי פנים. והעיקר, האוכל, למות!!!! כל מנה מיוחדת וטעימה. מהחמוצים ועד המנה העיקרית. זיהיתי מיד סממנים בלקניים וטעמים שהזכירו לי את המטבח של סבתא ויקטוריה ז״ל. זכינו להכיר את השף, להרים איתו כוסית ואף התבקשנו לנסות קינוח חדש ולתת פידבק. הקינוח המושלם היה טעים ומבשר את בוא האביב. מומלץ בחום. ובהצלחה לאלי המקסים.“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

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

“Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...“

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

“I Highly recommend Al Noor Halal Deli. I been coming here for over 10 years. You get lot of great crispy freshly cooked food. Brother at the front is a wonderful person. Chef magdi has magic in his hands.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’d never had falafel before trying it here, and I didn’t realize how amazing it could be until I had it at another restaurant. Ever since then, every time I come back, it never disappoints. I’d highly recommend trying it if you’re in NYC!“

“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.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

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

“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 😃“

“10/10 Food and Ambience 😍“

“Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious — the shawarma, grilled meats, rice, and salad were all fresh and full of flavor. Even the sweet pie/dessert was light and excellent.

But honestly, the best part was the service. A gentleman named Noor from Egypt took great care of us. He was very respectful, friendly, and extremely helpful the whole time. Employees like him really make people want to come back again. Highly recommend this place!“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“it’s a treat to eat at Miznon. Great food! Wonderful service and a fun atmosphere too!“

“I like this place a lot. The food tastes fresh and homemade (not too much salt), and the portions are very generous (a lot of protein, they don't overload you on rice). The lentil soup is delicious. The pita bread could be a little fresher but I don't end up eating very much of it. Very nice staff! A very cute but tiny eat-in area if you'd like to sit down. Definitely pick this place over Mamoun's.“

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

“We love this place. The food is superlative, the staff are attentive, cant think of anywhere netter for milescaround.“

“Had such a great experience,
The waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made us feel so welcomed. The food was outstanding everything tasted fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about both the service and the food. Definitely a great spot will come back.“

“Best Falafel and Shawarma in the city! I usually order at the truck on Ditmars, and they routinely give free falafel to all those who wait for their food or to order. The portions are generous and the food is amazing. Sometimes if you go to the broadway location the service can be a bit slow, but it’s usually crowded when I go. Great place!“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“Absolutely delicious food made and served by kind and caring people.
The lovely people working here take the time to go over every ingredient with us so our food allergy toddler can get her favorite eats here. The chicken or beef over rice is SO good. The wraps and zatar bread are amazing. The fries are really good too. We can't get enough.
Big portions, affordable, healthy with tons of great vegetable options. Authentic and fast!“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“The mussels in red sauce amazing 😻“

“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.“

“All the food is so delicious. Customers service beyond belief & excellent options from carnivore to vegan. Can’t emphasize enough how awesome the staff is !!! If there’s a line— it’s worth it as heck!!!“

“Really a great and very unique restaurant. First of all, the bread is more than great and completely different from any other bread in the United States. In the restaurant, you feel as if you are in Egypt or any other Arab country. You can have breakfast with beans, falafel, hummus, liver, and heart, just like you would eat in any popular restaurant in Egypt. For lunch, you can also eat Mandi and various delicious meats. The prices are reasonable, and the area where the restaurant is located is very lively 🌸🌸“

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“
