Middle Eastern Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“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!“

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

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“Just found my new favorite Mediterranean spot, Pita Point! I had the beef shish kebab in a pita and it was the most flavorful, freshest and juiciest kebabs I’ve had. The pita was warm, the beef was perfectly cooked, and everything tasted fresh and made from scratch.

Super homey vibe and the guy there was really nice. You can tell the food is made with real care. Also tried the baklava and it was incredible.

If you’re craving Mediterranean food, kebabs, or a really good pita sandwich, this place is 100% worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!“

“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“

“An incredible lunch at an affordable price. We got the mixed lamb and chicken shawarma platter and while it runs pricier than a sandwich (around $24) it came piled high with lamb and chicken easily worth the price, and more than enough for both of us for a quick lunch. The chicken was the star—moist and well-seasoned, rich and fatty without feeling heavy or greasy. The lamb, while also good, was near the end of the spit and as a result came out a little dry and not nearly as rich. The shatta (hot sauce), toum (garlic sauce), and tahina all tasted homemade and more than compensated. The cucumber and tomato salad was light and simply seasoned, which perfectly complemented the rich meats and sauces. The pickled cucumbers and turnip had deep tang and traditionally fermented flavors that really rounded out the plate. Service was attentive and friendly, even offering a piece of bread free with our platter when we realized we were low on cash and were unaware bread was extra! The friendly man behind the counter even gave us a few rose candies on our way out! All in all, a delicious and authentic Palestinian meal from a business that deserves so much love.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Passed this place as I was heading to the supermarket and decided to drop in for lunch. So glad I did. The very large platter was so delicious. As hungry as I was I could only make it through half. I can’t wait to devour the other half. Very lovely establishment ❤️❤️“

“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.“

“I’m so happy my sister introduced me to this place. Anytime I’m hungry between work this is my go to. The food is yums and filling, pita tastes like it’s made fresh, and the customer service is above and beyond. Gives me smiles every time I head over there“

“We love this place. The food is superlative, the staff are attentive, cant think of anywhere netter for milescaround.“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

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

“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.“

“We came from Canada to New York and decided to try this place while we were in Brooklyn; and we’re really glad we did. It’s a great spot. The entrance door is beautiful, almost like an old European shop, which gives it a lot of charm. The owners are incredibly kind and friendly, genuinely some of the nicest people we’ve met. The food was amazing; honestly one of the best falafel sandwiches I’ve ever had, packed with fresh vegetables. The salad was also very tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!“

“We love love this place ! The food is very delicious, fresh and cook with blessings, the service is excellent Mira is one of our favorite she always takes care of us like if we were her sons , thank you Mira for always welcoming us every time we go , I don’t know the rest of the staff names but every one works like a family! Thank you for sharing your home cooking for us ! Israel 🇮🇱🙏🏼💫✨“

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

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“This spot in on the border of Boerum Hill and Downtown Brooklyn provides an essential local feel with great food. We shared the assorted salad combination and the lamb plate which was perfect in amount and flavor. The baba ghanoush was killer and the lamb was so tender. We will be coming back here often.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“Please call for reservation“

“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 😃“

“I love everything about this place — from the moment you walk in, it feels like home. The food is absolutely delicious, full of flavor and comfort. The workers are kind, and the owners are always happy to help with anything you need.
One of the best parts is the music. Whatever you ask for, they’ll play it with a smile, creating the perfect atmosphere for any mood or celebration.
The space itself is very comfortable — great for a simple meal, a takeout order, or sitting down with friends and family. Whether you’re planning something small or hosting a big gathering, the restaurant can accommodate all your needs.
Light of Baku is warm, welcoming, and full of heart. A place you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“O.M.G. The food was AMAZING!! This was my first time ordering from this place, I ordered the Chicken shawarma wrap from here with my cousin and it was absolutely delicious! They give a very good portion for one shawarma wrap, unlike other places I've been to where they've overcharged for much smaller portions. The pickles on the wrap added a nice crunch and the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and not bland or dry at all. It was absolutely perfect, 10/10, would order again!! 🩷“

“Fresh and nice food , and I am a chef ... I was looking for healthy choices at late night and I am very happy now that I found this place.. finally, fresh healthy food at least night and at a reasonable price and generous portions.
Thanks Marcos!!!!!!“

“Tried middle eastern items. Amazing.
I tried the Lamb Swarma (Gyro) plater. It came with a lot of items, salads, rice. Very good portion.

Also trying the chicken shish kebab while writing this review.

People are very friendly.

I love this place.“

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

“The food was really good and the prices were reasonable. I like that it's ready immediately. My one complaint was that I couldnt hear the employee talking to me at all. She was very quiet and it was hard to hear through the plexiglass. Otherwise perfect.“

“This was my 2nd time here. What really made the experience today was my server, Afnan. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and all of her suggestions were spot on. Afnan was attentive without being overbearing. Excellent from start to finish.“

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

“Love this place tasty food“

“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.“

“I went here for lunch yesterday and had the Hanger Steak on Whole Wheat Pita (it was on the specials menu) and it truly made my day. So flavorful with sautéed onions and a delicious side salad. I HAD to write a review to help spread the news, the food was fresh and unbelievably good and the service was top notch. <3“

“An incredible experience all around! Kemo’s Hot Kitchen is a MUST - the food is exceptional, the ambiance is inviting & warm, the staff make you feel at peace! Chicken wraps are some of the best I’ve had in NYC, will definitely be back! Thank you Kemo!!“

“Awesome platters, one of the most reliable halal restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of eating from. Excellent and consistent, friendly. I usually get the chicken over rice, sometimes a combo platter. All the veggies are pretty fresh, the meat is cooked and seasoned well, and the rice is wholesome. Great place.“

“i order from here often and their food is so good & it’s halal! everything i’ve eaten from here has tasted fresh & well seasoned. They close around 2 am and always add new stuff/combos to the menu. Just picked this up before they closed. They are also very nice & have always had great manners. Me & my dad go here all the time lol“

“Very good mediterranean food! Everything is super quick and delicious but next time I think I will just ask for less sauce or on the side. I saw the Falafel made fresh and it was full of herbs and spices! I got the build your own falafel bowl with rice and romaine. The toppings all looked great.I would return.“

“This restaurant is definitely one of my favorites! Not only is the food so flavorful and delicious the staff and service is also so wonderful. And when I say the food is delicious I mean literally everything! There is not one thing I wouldn’t recommend. They never disappoint. Even the atmosphere and seating is just so beautiful. The prices are also unbelievably affordable for such good food! This is a restaurant I would recommend to anyone even if they didn’t like Mediterranean food because they have something for everyone and nothing is neglected. Such an amazing place that’s worth many visits not just one.“

“I visited Yummy Tummy bakery for the first time today, with five other friends of mine to support a Black-owned business during Black History Month. The owner Melissa and Kaylan made the entire experience a delight. The two of them made sure we got all of our treats in a timely manner and treated us with such care. The sweets themselves were absolutely delicious. The fruity pebble cupcake particularly was the perfect amount of sweet, moist, and airy. If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d definitely recommend you stop by!“
