Tasty Food BUT WAY OVERPRICED. Over 20 a plate of food with barely any Protein. Very Cheap with the salad portion . We Ordered, the Mix Shawarma Platter, Chicken Shawarma Platter and Chicken Kebab Platter. I was over 65 dollars and we were still hungry.
I’ve had plenty of middle eastern food in NYC but never with such small portions at such high prices . It was stuffed with rice very tasty so if you’re a carb eater go for it .

Ayat is a GEM. Food is top notch and portions are super generous. Their hummus and Muhammarah is divine. My guilty pleasure is the Pizzawarma which is definitely a shareable item. They are BYOB so go to Sahaadis wine shop inside IC and grab a Palestinian wine for a perfect pairing.

A lovely restaurant with great staff and delicious food. I came here with my family and we were so well taken care of. Thank you Ayat for bringing beautiful Palestinian cuisine to Brooklyn!
