Your food is flavorful & fresh, the service is efficient and polite, the potions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. -- Highly recommended.“

“If you're looking for the best Koobideh kebab in New Jersey and New York, Zaffron Bloom is the place to go. Every time I visit, I'm amazed by the deliciousness of the food, especially their Tahdig. The Olivieh salad and Spanish yogurt are also quite tasty. Since it's a family-run business, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. I love this place and highly recommend their kebabs!??“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Been to Levant a couple of times now and I feel i’m ready to share my experience. First time I ordered a sausage feteer to go. It was still perfectly crispy when I got it home. I like the square bottom bag and the octagonal box the feteer comes in. Today, I was in the mood for a wrap. I ordered the beef shawarma. They toasted the wrap - nice and hot on a giant panini press. It was so juicy I didn’t need the special Levant sauce. Then I thought let me dig the wrap in the sauce and wow. Tasted even better. Will be back to sample their meat pies next!“

“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!“

“El Jardin is a true Mediterranean gem! The mint lemonade was crisp and refreshing, and the hummus was silky smooth. We loved the lamb skewer and grilled chicken—both juicy and full of flavor. The fresh Mediterranean salad was the perfect, vibrant side. Great food, warm service—can’t wait to come back!“

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

“This food is so flavorful! I love to have something different to eat and not just the tired options of Pizza or Chinese? You can get comfort food or healthier dishes and all will be delicious. The prices offer excellent value.

Vegetarian options: Their pumpkin and eggplant are amazing! Haven’t tried falafel.

Dietary restrictions: Yummy vegan options

Kid-friendliness: Easy place to eat with children“

“I would have given a "5" rating for atmosphere if not for flies outside around our food. I also don't like the hookah smoking. Other than that, the service and the food were Perfect!!!“

“I just found this gem in Harlem and let me say I am thoroughly impressed. First, the Yemeni tea is extremely good. No need to add anything. Secondly, the amount of food that you get for money is a great deal. I had #21 Aqdat Dajaj (Curry Chicken) w/Basmati Rice and a side of Naan bread (it was huge). You also receive soup and a mini salad before the actual entree. I left there stuffed and satisfied. The space is very quaint and somewhat intimate. It’s a must try!! And it’s Halal!!!

Vegetarian options: There are about 13 vegetarian dishes to choose from.“

“Great food and friendly people the best Falafel and Shawarma“

“Amazing food and great customer servicing!!Highly recommended💯“

“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 . . .“

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

“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!“

“Delicious and fresh food! Got the Mazzah platter and got to sample many incredible dishes! The eggplant and falafel were my favorites! Got the lamb special too and WOW, it did not disappoint!! I think the owner served us! He was so kind and patient with us as we made our choices! Even gave us some baklava which was INCREDIBLE?!!!! I will be dreaming of it!! Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!“

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

“Delicious middle eastern food at fair prices!!!“

“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!“

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

“Had always heard great things and I can confirm that they hold up. They have some outdoor seating so we took advantage of that. Ordered the Sabry’s Combo (shrimp, calamari and salmon) which came with salad, bread and rice. Also got the mixed Tajine (shrimp and calamari) which was incredible. Definitely be sure to save your bread to dip on the Tajine. While we were waiting for our food, the owner popped his head out to say that they had a special soup that day so we decided to try it. It was Molokhia or green soup which had shrimp in it. Everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back“

“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.“

“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 Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“A proud Palestinian owned business and they have the best falafel I’ve ever had the pleasure of having in my entire life and I’m not exaggerating at all. It’s shaped like kibbeh rather than the traditional round shape, they start frying them as soon as you walk in and offer you a piece as you wait in line to place your order and it’s the best starter before your meal. That is if you can fight the urge to get more and order something else instead which I personally failed at and proudly had one too many pieces that day, no regrets. Oh and the meat shawarma was also delicious.“

“Do not refer to the five stars. They do not reflect my opinion. I just wanted to say that perhaps a short explanation should be added somewhere that the hummus is intended for the palate of Columbia University students so that Israeli clients do not develop expectations.“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“My family wasn’t familiar with Turkish food, but we decided to try this restaurant because of the great reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was, and the staff was so friendly, making our dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you, Salih!“

“Bunch of hardworking guys, friendly under the stress of high heat of the grills. Food is great, not sure how I missed this gem over the past 7 years.

They dont pressure for tips as well. Shoutout to Khan for being so friendly and patient with customers.“

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

“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.“

“We ordered the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, and sambousek. Everything tasted so fresh and VERY delicious! It was such a pleasant experience. Ordering and delivery were pretty quick also! I would absolutely recommend! Thank you, Al Basha!“

“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!“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“Was in Penn station and kids like Mediterranean food . Of course there are some food options outside Penn station which are much better in terms of taste ,…. But when you are in the station waiting for train and you have 15-20 mins then chickpea is a good option !!

They have goood options - salad / bowl / felafel / chicken etc etc ! Service was quick .. the food was a little cold though. We got felafel bowl and it was not the best — but good for a food inside station . ? they also have other drinks and few other snack items here . No place to sit and eat . Had to sit in the stairs and eat ! Wish they had atleast a couple of chairs inside. Overall an average experience but gave 4 stars ⭐️ because of the existence of such shops inside Penn..“

“Great food and service ….“

“First time there and won’t be the last... amazing flavor, super moist... mm mm good“

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

“Amazing service and amazing food! Highly suggest the spicy lamb as well as the chicken shawarma platters. Pita, hummus, rice, and all of their sauces were the bomb. Our server was extremely friendly and we were even given a free baklava sample.“
