“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!“

“Best restaurant in NJ. Always fresh tasty and delicious food. A must try!“

“My first time visiting and Ahmed was so kind and welcoming! I tried the mixed platter with three different meats and two sides (I chose rice and salad). The salad was fresh and crunchy, the meat and rice were seasoned wonderfully. Every bite was delicious, and the portions were huge. It's more a restaurant vibe so give them a little time to cook the food. Overall I highly recommend and I'll be coming back!“

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

“My family loves Mazadore. The food is great, the prices are low, and the owners are nice. I ordered catering from them last night for a dinner party. The owner made the delivery himself because they were short on delivery drivers! My favorite dish is the Chicken Adana Kebab with a lot of their hot sauce, it's the bomb 💣“

“One of the best middle eastern restaurants in metro NYC. we came with a part of five and ordered up a large sample of dishes. Everything we tried was one better than the next. Super tasty humus, light, fresh and lemony. I had a stuffed chicken over rice, which was to die for. We tried the mixed grill, shawarma, Middle East platter and several salads.
Very reasonable prices. Simple brightly lit space with a lovely staff.“

“Delicious, quick, and such nice staff! I love the veggies and the pickles along with the wonderfully herbaceous hot sauce!“

“Hi! Stopped into the UES’ Lava Shawarma for the second time, and everything was - once again - excellent. The two young men who work behind the counter there (at least in the early evening hours) were: polite, friendly, professional and hardworking. The environment is welcoming, and the food is so yummy. Both times I’ve been there, I ordered the falafel wrap. It was super delicious — and full of fiber and protein, without feeling heavy on my tummy; I might just become a more regular customer, even though I’m trying to be mindful about my food budget these days. : ) (Their pricing is affordable to most, I simply mean that as a general comment.) Thank you for taking such good care of me, gentlemen! Stay warm and well-fed, Kat PS The only thing I'd humbly suggest, if I may, would be to put out a few containers of olive oil for customers -- to drizzle on their falafel goodness.“

“Came in for dinner with wifey… and BROOOO!! This food slaps different!!! Oh my god! Guys not to sound dramatic or anything but this food taste like homemade from grandma vibes! Also if your looking to dine in this restaurant there is many seatings available, bib tables for bigger families as well! 4.7 stars is disrespectful, it deserves a 5 STAR!!! See you guys soon“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“This location on UWS is newly opened about a few months ago. It’s quite spacious inside. It’s close to the subways. There are tables and seatings inside. It has a very nice cafe feel. During mid-afternoon, they had space to eat inside, which was nice. I got a cauliflower with brown rice and toppings bowl. It was so filling. The cauliflower is very flavorful and the right texture, not too soft. I don’t even miss the meat. It’s a good wholesome vegetarian meal for when you want a lighter bowl. I usually get their beef shawarma or kafta, but wanted to try meatless. So delicious.“

“I stopped in on my way home from Rhode Island to Philadelphia. I made the stop because this place has amazing authentic food. I use to live in Queens and came here every week. I since moved a few years back and I will stop here every time I get a chance. Love the owner, very friendly and kind and he hands out free falafel throughout the day.“

“For over 9 years,
I've visited this restaurant in the Astoria area of Queens, NY with my family and friends.
After playing semi-pro soccer and now as an amateur, I always come here to enjoy a great time.
The food is delicious and flavorful, and the service is excellent.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
And the best part? It's not expensive — affordable for any budget.
TN.
Visit it and you'll see!

I'm back today for my favorite fish.
Last time I forgot to put 5 star.“

“Nice and clean place!! I loved the pizza and the cheese cake!!!!!!!!!!“

“One of my favorite places in Harlem to hear great music while enjoying food & company!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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 like the setup of the food very clean some Buffet places you go to it's nasty and messy this was very impressive and the food was reasonable. I didn't get a lot but it was enough to satisfy me . It was really tasty well seasoned and and freshly made.“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“The best Turkish food in the area as all other Turkish places focus on cheap, fast food. Cinar has the best food and quality and it tastes like fresh home made food. Everything in the menu is delicious. Now they have a great app for easy ordering. The service is always good there with warmth and kindness. This place is a true gem.“

“Great food and service combined with a great outdoor dining area. We will be back!“

“1/3/26 chosen this place for dinner. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and you get to add all kinds of stuff too!
It was good, quick and easy for a meal.
Seating in the main bar area.
It's a cool spot. Great people watching.“

“Top notch Halal 👌 With it's captivating unique flavors, Shwarma Bay stands out from the rest. This is not your typical Halal cart food. This has its own spices and flavor profile. You can taste the spices in the rice. The hot sauce is more of a creamy hot sauce unlike the red spicy 🔥 hot you tend to get from other halal carts. Chicken and beef well made and sauces on point. Shwarma Bay is in its own category“

“Food and drinks were delicious and our wait staff was friendly and attentive! Two thumbs up!“

“Really enjoyed this neighborhood gem, which has been there for 30 years. We tried it for the first time this past weekend and thought the food was terrific. The staff was very sweet and attentive, as well. It’s also good to know that it is open late, after Broadway shows let out, should you feel like dining on the late side.“

“I have visited Aden multiple times and have always enjoyed my experiences. Delicious Yemeni food, likely the best in Queens, whether sit down, take-out, or from their street grill, coupled with the friendly service will keep me and my family coming back. Take the poor reviews of this business and set them aside as merely bad judgment on the reviewer's. This is not a fast food restaurant! Expect to wait a little, but you will be satisfied.Their Steinway Halal cart outside offers half chicken and kabobs over rice. Delicious!“

“Fantastic Doner, the cuisine is exceptional.“

“An awesome experience. Great food and very attentive service. Will be back ❤️“

“Great food, fast and friendly service. Definitely going back!“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“Great food and service ….“

“Was a pick up order, which I'm not sure which side of the restaurant it is, making me wonder if I was at the right place.

Now to the good part, sorry no pictures, food was so good that didn't think about pics. Will try again though!“

“This restaurant is best when it comes to food, ambiance and service. Food presentation is also so cool. The location is awesome in midtown Manhattan. Perfect place for Dinner and Lunch. Prices are also economical given the location and food.“
