Lebanese Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“Everything good in that restaurant, the food the staff and portions are pretty generous , but the only thing I don’t like there it’s Ramadan and they selling Israeli dates which I don’t like , so please get Palestinian dates and get rid of the ones you have .“

“Not my first time there and won’t be the last.

Staff was knowledgeable and displayed the middle eastern warmth and hospitality.

Chef Soroosh gracefully sent us some complimentary items to perfectly pair with our dishes.

From the menu to the service. Everything was on point.

Thank you Sawa!“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

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

“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!“

“We are frequent customers, but today was truly something else. Normally our visits are not this special, but Amelia completely changed our experience. This Midtown location is my favorite, and even though we live in New Jersey, we still make this trip to Auzatar every 3 months because it’s always worth the trip.

But today stood out in the best way. Amelia went above and beyond with her service — she was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel valued and comfortable from start to finish.

We love Amelia so much that we will be coming back with friends and family — but only on the days Amelia is here! She is truly exceptional and made our visit unforgettable.“

“Izzy is always accommodating & nice. I’ve always had a good food experience whenever I go.“

“Me encantó !!! Comida libanesa deliciosa y exquisita ♥️“

“Genuinely some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. This spot manages to combine Mexican and Lebanese flavors in the most delicious way possible. Also just a generally cool and cozy vibe, with beautiful art on the walls and great music. A must try in Brooklyn!“

“The five stars for the hummus, -absolutely incredible. We also got a swarms lamb wrap and a chicken wrap which were delicious and unique with slices of pickle.

Smear some humus on that wrap- forget about it.

We were just walking out of subway when we found this- glad we did!“

“Came here for dinner with friends, and it did not disappoint. The Caesar salad is easily one of the best I’ve had in NYC; it was fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The hummus and pita were solid, though not particularly remarkable. The rice was slightly dry, but still very tasty overall.“

“Such a sweet addition to the neighborhood. Absolutely divine dishes. Staff helpful and friendly. Ambiance warm and music is perfect.

This place is the real deal.

You can feel the love in the details. Everything is prepared and cooked to perfection. Flavors burst in each bite. If you were not a lover of Tabbouleh, you might just find you will be now and most certainly this tiny gem of a spot. This place be on my regular restaurant rotation for sure!

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“This food exceeds all expectations for a hole in the wall. They have some interesting things on the menu, but they really nail the basics. The rice, bread and meat are perfectly cooked, seasoned and oiled. If this food was served at a fancy place on the waterfront, they could easily charge 5x.“

“I love the shawarma sandwich I bought , it was so delicious tasty and the good thing of this place, is that it has small section to buy groceries,like Arab bread which is so delicious.“

“First of all, my chicken sandwich was SO flavourful, as well as my avocado zaartar salad. Thank you!“

“Been here twice and the food is omg fabulous and so aromatic . It’s also BYOB with no cork fee. Lovely like cozy spot in East Village. Shared this mixed grill platter with a friend and was just enough to fill us up.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. I got the ginger falafel bowl and it was packed with amazing flavours and everything was fresh and clearly home made. I’d say the falafel might be the best in the city. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and size.“

“I’ve been going to the Tripoli since I was a child (1975, so I was 2 years old). At first, the draw was their authentic pastries (their Birds Nests are TOP NOTCH!!!). To this day, I love their traditional Lebanese cuisine (their humus, babaghanouj and tabouli are AMAZING as is their shish-kabob and chicken shishtaouk). If ever you find yourself on the border between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill Brooklyn (NYC), I can’t recommend them enough!!!“

“Warm environment and friendly owner and staff👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“OMG THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECE!!!! The food is always so fresh. My first time going to this Wonder location in Midtown. Ahhh so delicious. I’ve been to a few Of these locations & the food is never miss & I am always very satisfied!! 😊😊😊 Who ever invited this chain is a GENIUS 🥳🥳 for reference I ordered from Royal greens & got the Buffalo Salad added Shrimp for only like $5 🙌🏽“

“This is a great restaurant. It's casual but the food is very high quality and delicious! My son had the Lava Chicken Shawarma Arabic and I had the Vegan Arabic Sandwich. We got the combo for each (with fries and a drink) and the total price was $40. The vegan sandwich was amazing - lots of vegetables and falafel - all seasoned wonderfully. I think it is the best vegan sandwich I ever had. The chicken shawarma was great too - and plated up beautifully. The restaurant's atmosphere is serene and relaxing. A++.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Helped by Anna

Awesome service give her a raise !

Food is yummy“

“Google maps got us here with no problem, but the restaurant name has changed.

I ended up sampling four different appetizers. They were all excellent. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I don't know if the noise level is an issue as only one other table was occupied while we were there.“

“Ali is the greatest server! The food was incredible. The drinks were on point! Will definitely be back.“

“I grabbed the Falafel Bowl from Naya - 39th & Broadway through MealPal and wow, it’s a flavor bomb! The creamy tahini and zesty spicy smoky red sauce kicked the fresh cabbage slaw and pickled cucumber up a notch. So savory and spiced perfectly—highly recommend!“

“Whenever I visit Manhattan, even though there are many restaurants and places to eat, I always find myself going to Naya Express for Lebanese and Syrian food — it’s consistently wonderful. The prices are fantastic, the place is clean and fast, and the staff is incredibly friendly.“

“The quality of the meat from the butcher in the back is outstanding—everything tastes incredibly fresh and flavorful. I especially love their sujok, the spicy beef sausage. It’s perfectly seasoned with just the right kick, and you can usually find it in the freezer section, available in different levels of spiciness.

After the recent construction, the place looks fantastic. The new layout is clean, modern, and well-organized. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into enhancing both the food offerings and the overall atmosphere.

Don’t miss their manaeesh—they’re absolutely delicious. Whether you choose za’atar, cheese, or a mix, each one is baked fresh and bursting with flavor.“
