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.“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“I am sick of reading all these negative ratings that people are leaving this amazing restaurant.All of these people have never eaten here and are just making ridiculous political nonsensical comments. People of all types are welcome here. There are many local Jews that eat here. the food is phenomenal! Chef Rawia always comes out to check on the clients to say hello and make small talk. So many racists just throwing out lies. They need to get a life! I recommend Tanoreen and looking forward to having marinated lamb shank, Califlower steak and some Knafeh. I will be back soon and bring my friends. ❤️“

“Mesiba! Mesiba! Mesiba! Not only are you stunning but you provide exceptional service and incredible food! I came here for dinner and left so satisfied. I have never had hummus quite like that before. It was smooth and just life changing. I am not even a huge hummus lover but I would eat that hummus everyday gladly. I also ordered their roasted fennel and whole branzino. Each dish was visually appealing and tasted amazing. I will absolutely return here again to try more items and I hope others get to experience it too.“

“Literally the best falafel and hummus in all of bay ridge, actually the best I’ve ever had! So fresh and tasty and they make their pita and all their breads fresh! The falafel sandwich is unbelievable!

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, salad, taboolah, pickles, rice, falafel platter, falafel sandwich!“

“Amazing food! Great atmosphere and fantastic people.“

“Delicious , great service“

“The food is just so flavorful. They care about every single guest. Service, food, wine, everything is impeccable. Go , enjoy!!!“

“Yafa Cafe is truly a gem worth the trip from Queens! Not only do they serve the best coffee but the food is equally delicious, making it a perfect spot for a meal or a quick coffee break. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience!“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

“Cool Lebanese restaurant on Atlantic Ave.
it’s got a great vibe and whether you are sitting at the bar or eating you should have lots of fun.
The menu is Mediterranean diverse with hummus, tabouleh, baba ganoush. It’s better to go with a larger group since you really want to order as many dishes as possible and share them all.
They also have a large wine etc selection.“

“Wonderful food .. & best kabab ❤️“

“Stopped by Holy Pita for a quick bite before dinner. We ordered a few appetizers including the falafel, sumac fries, Moroccan cigars and wings. The fries were my favorite. Nice and crispy, packed with flavor. The Moroccan cigars were a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I trusted the recommendation given by the cashier and happy we gave it a try.“

“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.“

“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“

“This cozy little coffee house is the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle, especially as the seasons change. The aroma of fragrant cardamom fills the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. But it's not just the ambiance that's great - the coffee is truly amazing. The friendly staff adds to the charm, making you feel right at home. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back for another coffee break.“

“I’m ADDICTED to this place. The food is simple, fresh and delicious every time. The owner and Lisa are very efficient and friendly. We’re so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood. Highly recommend for a delicious, healthy AND cheap meal. ?“

“Impressive place to have a conversation with my family, the food is very delicious and good service

I recommend this place

Delicious vegan dish mezze filistini mansaf

The guys are very attentive to the customers I had a wonderful experience I will return very soon“

“I adore this restaurant. It's everything you could possibly want no matter the season. It's the best kept secret in the neighborhood, so consider yourself lucky to be getting this intel via this review. The ingredients are fresh, the service is warm, they go above and beyond. I took a guest from the other side of the world here, because I wanted to show them the best of New York, which is exactly what this place delivers.“

“Let's face it; you are not coming here for a fancy dining experience. I will say that the staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the prices are really decent. The food is flavorful and very fresh. I would definitely go for chicken instead of lamb next time. I was not aware that the lamb was "gyro" style when I ordered it. The chicken shawarma looked much nicer. The hot sauce is delightfully spicy, and the babaghanouj is so delish. Yummm. I will be back.“

“I love the food, ambience and service.“

“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“

“All the desserts were very fresh and delicious. We were looking for a birthday cake for our friend and we found this place on map. Definitely right choice!! Unique and tasty too. We picked up a strawberry birthday cake but So many options. Staff are so nice and friendly. Thank you so much guys for helping us. Def will come back .“

“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.“

“The best in new york ���������������“

“We hosted a private event at Zamaan, and both the service and food were excellent! Our guests were extremely satisfied with the cuisine. Despite arriving earlier than expected, the owner was very accommodating. We look forward to holding many more events at this venue.“

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

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“The most DELICIOUS food I've had in a long time. Their fresh bread was so GOOD...right out of the oven. The meats were perfectly cooked and the customer service was better than most of the upscale restaurants. You MUST try this cute place in “

“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“

“This was great. I was on a birthday with my family and it was excellent!Service was very polite, and the waiter was coming to your table every 3-5min. The owner(I think he is) was polite, too, and we were having fun. The food was excellent!Everything was really delicious and we were all happy. I'd recommend this restaurant to everyone! You should try it!!!“

“Absolutely delicious and a spot that deserves more recognition. The food was fresh and the serving here was very friendly. I had the shawarma and would definitely get it again. It’s cash only so just a heads up before you come here. Stop by if you’re in the area!“

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

“Been back here 3x in 2 weeks. As a restaurant owner myself, i can say this food is fresh and consistent. Get a mixed grill to share, it’ll have every kind of meat on there and you’ll be able to see which your favorites are. I will be back probably once a week!“

“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“

“Normally I get the gyro here (which is so good, especially if your looking for a sauce-y, spicy gyro) but I decided I wanted something a little lighter and not as messy.

I ordered the hamburger and fries, and I was really surprised at how good it was, especially for the price ($10.89 after all was said and done, and it came with a can of soda).

The beauty of their burger was you could add all the normal toppings that you can add for a gyro, so I added lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and hot peppers, plus white and red sauce to my burger.

With those toppings, the burger was delicious! Definitely a different take on a burger, but I like spicier food, so it was really really good.

The fries were also thinly cut and not too oily, similar to an upscaled version of McDonalds fries. I would definitely get the burger from here again.

If you're looking for a burger meal around $11 that you can customize and offers a little more food than a fast food burger place, I recommend the Gyro King burger.“

“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!“

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

“Vegetarian options: Falafel. it’s made with chickpeas, vegetables and wrapped pita bread. They sell salads, chicken wraps, etc. Good food. Authentic. Young beautiful people in cafe. They sell non alcoholic beverages. Clean place. Ion and out. Decorations are comfortable. It’s a sense of welcome and respect in there. Stop and eat well. ❤️

Parking: You must look for empty spaces. It’s a neighborhood.

Kid-friendliness: Yes. They are in a neighborhood. There’s lots of children and they welcome them.

Wheelchair accessibility: Okay“

“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!“

“The food was terrific! Nice and fresh and the customer service there is very friendly and quick“

“I’ve gone to this restaurant before under the supervision of the previous owners and I loved it, but now I am blown away! With what the new owners have done with the place I can see this place booming in no time. They have a large vegan selection which is perfect for my family and I, and it’s actually great tasting vegan food which is rare to find. I tried the meatless shawarma in the Grape Leaf Bowl and wow… it is incredible. The presentation was very nice and the flavor is amazing. 10/10 I will definitely be returning here again soon. Wonderful “addition” to the neighborhood!
