When the old owners were around this was the BEST shawarma around, reminded me of Israel. Now everything is different, the salads have no flavor, even the tehini is watered down. They made it look fancy, but took out the quality and flavor!

The heart and soul of this place is gone. They used to make magic with just that white cabbage salad, now it's saggy sour and just not right. The shawarma used to taste differently, now it's heavy and oily. Quality and attention to even the smallest dish was always top notch. Now it's just a razzle dazzle show. Sad to see it go.

The Korner NYC is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is trendy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a night out. The food is outstanding — every dish is full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to recommend their favorites. The attention to detail in both the decor and the menu is impressive. Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, you’re guaranteed a fantastic experience. Highly recommend checking it out!

The Korner serves up the best shawarma in a laffa in all of Brooklyn—hands down. Perfectly spiced, juicy, and loaded with flavor, their shawarma is always fresh and piled high with the best toppings. The laffa is soft, warm, and wraps everything together perfectly. Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or a late-night craving, The Korner never misses. If you know, you know!

With all due respect, this place isn’t even worth rating. I walked in and asked for a plate of Shawarma. One can of soda. And the guy at the register looks at me and says that’ll be $32. I asked him is this a dinner plate? And he pulls out a 1 quart container and shows me what it will be. With prices like these I could buy two chickens and make it myself. If you’re having issues with vendors, if you’re being overcharged, if you’re deciding to gouge customers all on your own, whatever this could possibly be there’s absolutely no reason why Shawarma today should cost more than $15. This is obscene.

Edit to response:
Your prices reflect the cost of goods with your inadequate vendor agreements along with your high rent. It’s either that or you’re deliberately greedy and gouging customers. Your food has been eaten for decades. You’ve been around all my life. It’s never been astounding. You don’t have nor will you ever get a Michelin star rating, so let’s not kid ourselves. I worked in the restaurant business. You don’t have a chef, or a su chef or a saucier on staff. You aren’t fine dining, nor do you provide any wait services. Your prices are over inflated for one or more reasons and however you justify it, it’s clear. All I did was call three vendors to get prices on kosher poultry and I learned that part of it. There are ways around this. Being competitive along with good food is the corner stone of your type of business and it’s that fort part that the owners here have clearly lacked. Easier to just raise prices.
Good luck.
