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.“

“Everyone with a good heart and conscious is welcome here.

Al Aqsa is well-deservedly famous for their shawarma. It's crispy, salty, and filling. Of equal stature is their falafel. Not to mention, they offer freshly baked Palestinian bread loaves and ka'ak for people looking to bring fresh Palestinian baked goods home.

Ambience is inspiring as it speaks for social justice in Palestine. Service is beautiful; it's a treat to have the owner around as he takes good care of customers. Please come check out Al Aqsa when you're in Brooklyn“

“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 came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“I visited Ayat Ditmas Park with my family, and the experience was delightful. The interior is vibrant and beautifully decorated, with striking artwork on the walls and an upstairs seating area with a glass floor, allowing you to see people below, a unique touch that adds charm to the space. I tried fried calamari with fries, khubz, and the family platter, paired with refreshing lemonade and mint lemon water. Each dish was flavorful and satisfying, highlighting the care and quality of the food. The service was attentive and welcoming, making the meal even more enjoyable. What made the visit memorable was the combination of delicious, vibrant cuisine and the striking, lively atmosphere. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would gladly return.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“The food at this place is absolutely fantastic. With prices that are hard to beat these days, it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like you’re getting a real deal without compromising on quality. I went with the chicken, while my dad tried the falafel, and we decided to add baba ganoush to both—it was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to our meals.

Our food did take a little while to arrive, but that’s only because everything is made fresh to order, which I truly appreciated. Every bite showed the care and effort that goes into each dish. Beyond the delicious food, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help, making the experience even better. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit spot—supporting this business means enjoying food that’s genuinely unbeatable.“

“Please call for reservation“

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

“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.“

“This is such a cozy place where you can really enjoy a good conversation — and the food is absolutely spectacular. Every dish is bursting with flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The service is warm, friendly, and truly makes you feel at home.
Definitely a spot I’ll come back to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“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)“

“Good food well done and good service Reasonable prices“

“This was my first time at this location in greenpoint. I've been a fan of the WB location for years and years. The only thing I was sad about was the breakfast pizza was not on the brunch menu. Other than that everything as always was perfect. Great job!!“

“I had the most amazing experience this restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious—my favorite dish is the hummus with meat, it’s perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service made it even better. Our server, Bruna, was the sweetest—attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect for us. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to all my friends!“

“I love the food, ambience and service.“

“There are no words to express my happiness when I visit this cafe. Their Turkish coffee with baklava is one of my favorite combos. I always recommend my friends and others come and try at least one of their desserts. Best Turkish cafe in New York !“

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

“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“

“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.“

“It was a nice environment and kebabs are really good“

“I Highly recommend Al Noor Halal Deli. I been coming here for over 10 years. You get lot of great crispy freshly cooked food. Brother at the front is a wonderful person. Chef magdi has magic in his hands.“

“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.“

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

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

“Love this spot. A staple of the local neighborhood. The entrees were perfect and nicely seasoned. Hummus was delicious. Shish kabob, skirt steak, baby chicken were all very juicy. Shnitzel super crunchy. Intimate atmosphere and excellent service.“

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

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“I ordered takeout from Grubhub earlier today.

The Chicken Shwarma was fantastic.

By far my favorite plate that I've eaten this year.

All items on the plate were full of flavor, texture and I absolutely cannot wait to order again.

ALSO: The picture used for this item on Grubhub does not do the plate justice.“

“This place is small but mighty! The food is absolutely amazing. I drove 35 minutes to get here, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. Every bite hit all the right taste buds and more. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, and everything is fresh, balanced, and healthy. If eating like this is what it takes to lose weight, I’m definitely going to hit my goals!“

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

“Read the reviews and thought I would give it a try after I got off my flight, starving. It was everything the reviews said it was. Super well run To-Go orders. Food was flying out of that kitchen and they have a smooth running operation that produces delicious Caribbean Jerk Chicken with amazing sauces.“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it ideal for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome without being intrusive.

The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and clearly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation shows the passion and skill of the chef. I especially recommend [fool ]—it was unforgettable.“

“Love this place tasty food“
