“I’ve never left a review for a restaurant but the kindness of the bearded man who sits at the register was extremely heartwarming. He could tell it was my first time there and he gave me a Lebanese dessert on the house as a way to welcome me to this restaurant. The food is well seasoned and the dessert was delicious. If I lived in New York, they’d have a loyal customer.“

Keeping it simple and good value bring foodies back to back . I always find myself over and over preferred vs other new tastesVegetarian options: Falafel“

“Au Za’atar nails Lebanese cuisine, making me feel like I'm back home with every bite. I knew they were the real deal after taking one bite of their zaatar mana’eesh. They've got a fantastic array of condiments too, each adding a genuine touch to every dish. I also appreciate our waiter, Gio, who was very enthusiastic. We visited during lunch at noon, where they weren’t ready yet to serve their famous shawarma. I’ll be back at dinner hours to try it“

“The food and the service here was incredible. We came during prime time brunch hours on a Sunday afternoon, the wait was reasonable and absolutely worth it. If you're looking to splurge, you must try the banana bread pudding, it was out of this world! Freddy was our server and he was attentive, kind, and personable from the start! He recommended their Lebanese coffee which is stronger than espresso and it was so good! They even served it on a silver platter! This little cafe is wonderful and anyone who comes here won't be disappointed.“

“This place is a small cozy restaurant that serves up great Mediterranean food. The food was great and I enjoyed the variety in the El Toum appetizer. The hummus bi lahmet was something I’ve never seen or had before and I thought it was seasoned great and fulfilled my crave for hummus. The kofta wrap was great as well, it wasn’t dry and the kofta was seasoned well, it was a bit smaller than I expected. The environment was great and the host was very inviting and nice, we really felt welcomed and enjoyed the visit here. I’ll have to get the mix platter next time I come, it looks and sounds really good!“

“Got to Au Za’atar at 10:30am and waited outside for them to open at 11am, however Rasheed invited us warmly inside and treated us with excellent service. On top of that, food is truly authentically delicious and we were treated with a complementary Labneh, pita bread, and a decadent chocolate ice cream.I highly recommend bringing your friends and family to enjoy the great food, service, and ambiance.“

“What a surprising find and are we happy! Such interesting unique (to me) options and plenty of vegetarian food, creative! The cauliflower pita was cinnamony & good especially with some added dips. The tuna was quite good, even my 11y liked. 13y liked the sausage sandwich. Had to fend off family from the dips and soft seasoned pita ;) Will definitely be ordering here again!“

“If you're not dining at Lashevet then you're just plain missing out. Cozy UES spot with warm and inviting decor. Every dish is delicious (flavorful and filling without being heavy) and the staff here are always so friendly and welcoming.“

“I went to Nala to try out the Middle Eastern Counter and Grill. I wanted to try out a Naya bowl. The cashier notified me that I can customize my bowl with meats and veggie toppings. I chose beef shawarma as the meat of choice and went creative for my Nala Bowl. For middle eastern dishes, never leave out the hummus. In addition to the hummus, I also added onions, lettuce, cabbage, mixed greens, and a feta cheese. I loved the taste and texture of the Nala Bowl the associate helped prepare for me. The meat was especially well-seasoned and the sauce added the perfect spice for the meal. The customer service was excellent, the place was comfortable and organized, and my order was processed smoothly in the quiet evening. Thank you Nala!Vegetarian options: Vegetarians have full control over what can be put in a Nala Bowl, for example. Simply refrain from selecting a meat topping as a choice and proceed to select vegetarian options for your veggie bowl.“

“It's a pretty good restaurant to have food in. I tried the Veggie Pitza, yes 'Pitza', the base is similar to the pita bread, not the usual pizza dough, but it tastes great. They have a few different varieties of pitzas. The sauce they provided on the side, when asked. Now those made it way better than I expected. Just because of that chilli sauce I would love to go there again. So definitely go try out there sometime.“

“South Slope hasn’t gotten a clue about this DIVINE mouthwatering Lebanese/American food gem ? Slopers don’t need to go all the way to Bay Ridge for Lebanese food, which quite honestly, based on my experience, isn’t good as this place! A real chef is cooking, everything taste sooo good & made how it’s suppose to be made! the tender grills are perfectly spiced, even the sides are absolutely delish, unlike other places. Once you try it once you’re gonna keep going back or ordering again because the food is fantastic & I’m in the Middle Easterner that knows our food saying it. Wish I tried this place sooner, didn’t know I’d be surprised by this spot. Was hungry & had to run to R train so stopped for a quick bite & now I’m regular there. I even order from them ?“

“This is a no frill, traditional Betuti family owned restaurant. They make lebaneese brick oven bread with middle eastern spices in olive oil like Zaatar. It takes amazing and so fresh. They have 2 stores and this one is just good for grabbing a quick bit for a very reasonable price. I tried the Zaatar bread with pickles, olives and hummus and it was just amazing!“

“Among the variety of foods that you can find on the second floor of this shopping center, we find this one at the end. The prices seem affordable to me and they have a variety of choices. In this case I ordered a chicken shawarma that was delicious, you can accompany them with any topping you want. is a. great option for those looking for a healthy option. The atmosphere in this place is 10/10 you can go with children and you have an excellent view. The attention of the workers was excellent. Of course I would return to this place and I recommend it.“

“NAYA is my all-time favorite fast-casual place in NYC! They had the most delicious bowls - I usually get half greens and half brown rice, with chicken shawarma and a bunch of their yummy veggie and hummus toppings. This location is conveniently in Moynihan Train station and I often will pick up a bowl to eat on a long train ride. The portions are huge and very satisfying. Feels healthy but flavorful at the same time. Also their Za'atar pita chips are bomb as a snack, highly recommend!“

“Finally some authentic halal Mexican food in Brooklyn. The place is small but the food portions that they serve are huge. I had the Quesarito Asada Birria (ithink thats how its spelled) and it was so big with rice, beans, beef wrapped in a massive burrito. When I mean massive, go check their instagram page. This could easily feed 2 large appetite people. It was delicious and made fresh to order. Other items that I had that were deicious were the chicken crunch wrap, chicken asada fries and asada quesa tacos. They might have to invest in special take out plates because the portionsare so heavy that those plates are barely supporting the weight. Needless to say we ate all the food for lunch and plenty leftover for dinner. And you know I had to take home a bottle of their signature hot sauce.“

“To say that we love Nabila’s is a grand understatement. Ever since Nabila’s opened we rely on their delicious menu as an integral part of our takeout meal rotation - specifically in the areas of home cooking-esque, Lebanese and comfort food. Our young son eagerly waits for his favorite meal: Nabila’s roasted chicken stuffed into their freshly made pita slathered in toum and their hummus of course. We are SO HAPPY Nabila’s is now part of the neighborhood!“

“Food was great, service - not sure, it was delivered to us by DoorDash Delivery. It's middle eastern place (Lebanese) with pick your stuff into the bowl. It's exactly what we ordered. Naya Bowl #1 - Rice, Chicken shawarma, humus, yogurt, cabbage, pickles, feta cheese, tahini & pita. Naya Bowl #2 - Rice, Chicken shawarma, hummus, tomatoes, cucumber, cabbage, pickles, feta cheese, tahini & pita. Both Bowls were so big (NYC style), that we were splitting between two people, very filling meal. Add to it a La Croix sparkling water and we enjoyed the delivery. Next time we will be in Brooklyn, NAYA is on the top of our delivery food list.“

“Ordered on their website for pick up - super convenient! There was someone at the pick up register to help me expedite the order. Clean space, decent amount of seating, but low side tables (along wall) so not as ergonomic. Will def be back! Great pita! Got the beef sharwna, baba goulash, veggie toppings, and feta“

“Best dinning experience in NYC. Hats off to their team here for real.. The vibes, food and crew are all off the charts..Alex is mixing up fire drinks, Dre is crushing the DJ set, Richie is making sure everyone is having a dope time... and Ms. Alex D, for ensuring everyone feels like the most import guest in the building!

“I go here to eat lunch like twice a week. It is a great Mediterranean place that makes nice bowls with a broad choice of protein.You can get a bowl between $12 and $15 depending on the protein you want. The rest of the bowl can be fully customized and you can take as many or as little toppings as wanted.Highly recommend this as a lunch place!“

“Loved the food and there were many vegetarian and vegan options, even entrees. Many of the entree options were pretty unique so definitely looking forward to coming back. The fava bran appetizer was unique as well served warm nicely flavored with garlic. Prices were also very affordable compared to most Mediterranean restaurants.The restaurant is located in the basement and had a nice setting making us feel like we were in Lebanon!“

“Very cute place with fresh food. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I have celiacs and they put the pita separately for my sister so she could still enjoy. We shared fattouch salad croutons on the side and added chicken, it was excellent. Red pepper dip was our favorite. Hummus was so so. Quick and friendly service.“
