Middle Eastern Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“Fantabulous Ambience. Lively and lovely staff. Great food. Loved everything.“

“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!“

“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“אוכל זה לא הצד החזק של ניו יורק. נקודה! (גם קפה) גילינו ששף ישראלי פתח מסעדה, אלי בוסקילה שמו. נסענו לוויליאמסבורג לבדוק. המסעדה נקראת ״המסיבה״ ואכן היתה שם מסיבה גדולה. מקום מקסים, מעוצב בצורה מדהימה, רמת שירות גבוהה שלא רואים בכל מקום, כל כל הרבה עובדים מקצועיים ומסבירי פנים. והעיקר, האוכל, למות!!!! כל מנה מיוחדת וטעימה. מהחמוצים ועד המנה העיקרית. זיהיתי מיד סממנים בלקניים וטעמים שהזכירו לי את המטבח של סבתא ויקטוריה ז״ל. זכינו להכיר את השף, להרים איתו כוסית ואף התבקשנו לנסות קינוח חדש ולתת פידבק. הקינוח המושלם היה טעים ומבשר את בוא האביב. מומלץ בחום. ובהצלחה לאלי המקסים.“

“Some might be hesitant to enter a place with decor reflecting the current war. Personally for me, it makes it more culturally significant and interesting. Now throw away the politics: it’s some of the best falafel in NYC, and for me at least, falafel is a serious food item to be discussed and debated. The shawarma and hummus is also totally legit. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome which is great. For folks from places where this fare is less available, I think it’s a worthy inclusion in any Bay Ridge food tour.“

“Delicious , great service“

“Nice environment, relaxing music, love the chicken sandwich and lamb Haneeth sandwich waffle fries are delicious I’m hooked on brown sugar cardemon iced coffee and service is always with a Smile no indoor seating yet but they do have limited outdoor seating a must try other foods and beverages available 😃“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

“placed an order for over 200.00$.The booklet that was attached to the bags says:; delivery is free within 3 miles with an order of 25$, but I was charged 5.00$ delivery fee Food is good, we got utensils but no plates . So I would rate just 3... Sorry“

“I only got the falafel sandwich but OH MY DAYS was it good. First bite of that falafel:🤤 crunchy outside n moist interior. Listen man- they not cappin when they say it’s fresh here. The pita, the veggies, the falafel. I didn’t want it to end. HANDS DOWN BEST FALAFEL SAMMICH IN NY😮‍💨🔥🐗“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“Went with a fairly large group and gad the best experience ever! The food was EXQUISITE, the lamb from the lamb kebab was so tender. Tried kanafa for the first time and was amazed at how sweet and savory it was, my mind was blown away! Definitely will be coming here many times.“

“Great spot in a crowded neighborhood filled with bougie restaurants. Got the chicken shawarma sandwich, which was easy to grab and take on a stroll to Brooklyn Bridge Park. I'm not crazy about Mediterranean food, but this was very enjoyable.“

“The service and atmosphere were stellar. The waitress and manager Alex were beyond reproach in their attention to detail and inter personal communication. The clash of brutalism and mcm makes the dining room setting to a movie scene. The quality of food wasn’t the issue. I appreciated not making things not too salty but if the sauces were meant to be authentically ethnic. They missed that mark to cater to palettes less aggressive. I already know if I want traditional cuisines but no frills head to a Northern Blvd, or Flushing Queens. However, despite being non committal-on flavor . You’re coming for an experience and I’d go back gladly.“

“Please call for reservation“

“Very good food, vibe, and staff. My friend and I shared some amazing lamb kebab and beitenjan. The eggplant in the beitenjan was a bit softer than I prefer, and the dish was very sweet. Even still, it was delicious! The lamb was amazing, too. The limonana was perfect. We dined on the deck upstairs under some charming string lights which created a very cute and intimate atmosphere. The staff was so friendly, too! I look forward to coming back to try more dishes.“

“Good food well done and good service Reasonable prices“

“Previous customers have already outlined why this spot stands out. The pricing respects wallets and dishes are recently prepared. The staff was present when needed. This spot deserves its recognition. This place will get my repeated visits.“

“Being generous with my overall rating coz they have a wide variety of different foods including cool vegan options. Had vegan chicken tacos that were pretty good. The tables were dirty but they offered free Arabic tea which is nice, was delicious (I'da preferred it wasn't sweetened but open to try it how it's usually made)“

“My favorite local restaurant by far. Consistently fresh, delicious and fast. Family run, good vibes all around.

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan options

Kid-friendliness: Good friendly staff, good kid options

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level no need for ramps etc“

“I love the food, ambience and service.“

“Really like this place. Truly amazing hummus--so fresh. It is some of the best, tastiest hummus ever! Also, great desserts.“

“Came in here after a spot me and my friend and I originally wanted to go to was packed....glad we did!

Very cozy, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food! I was pleasantly surprised with the food. Everything was super flavorful. I really want to come back spon to try some more things on the menu.“

“The best falafel in New York, hands down. Everything from the hummus and pita, to the pickles and the meat platters is made with so much care, love and authenticity. The best middle eastern food we've ever had and we make a (pita) point to come back regularly. Eddie, the owner, is also the nicest guy who loves making delicious food for his customers. This place is a gem of a find“

“Friendly stuff. Salmon in white sauce with vegetable salad is yummy. Just change the prices on your site , please. 😉“

“This beautiful and traditional cafe has been my go to for years! They have the most delicious menu items as well as to-die-for authentic Turkish baklava. Absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to experience true quality and service on Brighton 🫶“

“A beautiful and clean place that has everything you need, including halal food and sweets“

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Fire Kabob and WOW! This place is great! Clean dining area and SUPER friendly staff. We ordered 2 plates, chicken and Lamb and then a side of eggplant burani. The food is fresh and delicious! The rice and homemade sauces are excellent. It also came with a side of bread and salad. Can't wait to try out all their other items, we will definitely be back. I would post pics but we scarfed down every bit of it. It's a must try! Chicken and Lamb - Tender and cooked perfect. Eggplant Burani - a must try, unlike anything I have ever tried. Rice - seasoned perfect and you get a lot of it. Def try the sauces that come with it.“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“Best middle eastern in the city. A littlest me pricey though“

“Favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Brooklyn in such a central location. Their food is amazing and so delicious but their baba ganoush? Hands down, my FAVORITE item on their menu. I have not found another baba ganoush that comes close to how delicious their's is. The servers are so generous and refills the pita (which comes out hot and fresh). In a time where restaurant prices are astronomical, Bedouin Tent somehow keeps their prices relatively low for the quality of their food. I've come several times already and look forward to coming back“

“One of my favorite lunch places. Fresh, healthy, and delicious.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere and excellent service. Love Oasis ❤️“

“Small restaurant/menu but the food was very good, service attentive and friendly. The babaganoush and fresh pita were delicious and the grilled murguez sausage/chicken/vegetable platter was exceptional.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at David's a couple of weeks ago, and it was a delightful experience. The standout dish for me was the chicken soup; it had a comforting, homemade taste that truly warmed the soul. The staff at David's were incredibly pleasant, adding to the overall positive ambiance of the restaurant. Their attentiveness and friendliness made the meal even more enjoyable. I am already looking forward to my next visit to David's and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a meal that feels both gourmet and like something you'd enjoy at home. A definite must-visit“

“Haneeth - a couple of bone-in lamb over rice with stew veggy. Very good and tender. Some parts of lamb were a bit dry but the stewed veg and included soup helped. It also came with salad.The flat bread looks good.There is complimentary pour your own tea carafe in the back - it's sweet and spiced.You order at the counter and they bring food to you.They just tell you price at the end.  There is only 1 menu in whole place? And it's hidden“

“Great lunch! Delicious, great price, large tasty portions great patio seating and friendly atmosphere. Thank you“

“Service is very attentive. A wide variety of Arab cuisine very well prepared including appetizers especially, entrees, sandwiches and desserts. Wait staff is very friendly. Cash only but prices are inexpensive and portions are generous! Two of us split a dinner as seniors.“

“Went late at night and they didn’t have any shawarma so I got chicken Kabab sandwich in pita it was really good. Rotisserie was okay nothing special. Kibbeh was very good. Only bad thing was their sauce. Did not like it at all, I asked for toum he said that was it but it wasn’t. Just want pure toum straight up garlic goes great with anything. Overall not a bad experience wish I got to try more stuff. PLEASE MAKE GOOD TOUM !!!“

“I was craving some middle eastern/Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint! A great selection and the ingredients are all very fresh with the shish kebab made upon ordering. I had the build your own bowl and highly recommend. To top it off, the staff is very friendly and warm, even asking how the food was after!“

“If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of true Baku, experience warm Azerbaijani hospitality, and enjoy exquisite cuisine, "Ogni Baku" is the perfect place.

The first thing you notice is the authentic interior, transporting guests to the Baku of the Soviet era. The décor, featuring elements of the old city, traditional patterns, and warm tones, creates the feeling that you’ve stepped into a cozy Baku eatery from the past. Every detail is carefully thought out, capturing the history, traditions, and vibrant culture of Azerbaijan.

Of course, the real highlight is the food. The dishes are prepared according to traditional recipes, using fresh and high-quality ingredients. The kebabs, dolma, kutabs, saj dishes, piti—everything is served with attention to flavor and authenticity. The plov (pilaf) is especially remarkable—each grain of rice is perfectly cooked, fragrant, and full of rich taste. And don’t miss out on the aromatic tea with baklava—it’s an absolute delight!

Service at "Ogni Baku" is exceptional: the staff is welcoming, attentive, and happy to help you choose dishes, especially if you’re new to Azerbaijani cuisine.

This restaurant is a true gem for those who appreciate places with soul and character. It’s the kind of spot where you want to take your time, savor every bite, and soak in the nostalgic ambiance of old Baku. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“Love this place tasty food“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL food. We got a family platter of chicken and rice and a side of jerk chicken. It was the best food I’ve had in a very long time.

Salad was delicious, everything was fresh and wrapped so perfectly. The sauces were so yummy, I’d eat here every damn day if I could.“

“Wonderful food and service! I plan to come visit every time I’m in town!“
