“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“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.“

“3 Falafel plates, 1 Spinach pie plus drinks for $50.

The food is AMAZING!!!!!!

I can't stress enough how good it is here.

If you live locally and don't come here, well I think your mad.

If you are visiting Manhattan and don't come across the water to eat here. Well I still think your mad.

This is how Falafel and Hummus is supposed to taste.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely delicious food made and served by kind and caring people.
The lovely people working here take the time to go over every ingredient with us so our food allergy toddler can get her favorite eats here. The chicken or beef over rice is SO good. The wraps and zatar bread are amazing. The fries are really good too. We can't get enough.
Big portions, affordable, healthy with tons of great vegetable options. Authentic and fast!“

“The best food and the nicest, most generous people! Maqluba has been our go-to spot for takeout since we discovered it a few months ago. It’s especially great for a big group and there are so many shareable options. I love that they bake the pita fresh for your order. Everything is so delicious!“

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

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

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

“So amazing so delicious so clean and nice service with respect thank u for everything“

“Good food well done and good service Reasonable prices“

“The food at Kemo’s Kitchen was incredible—everything was extremely flavorful, and you could really taste each individual ingredient. My wife and I even agreed that we enjoyed it more than our usual Pakistani and Indian cuisine. It had so much depth and flavor without depending entirely on heavy spices to make it taste good.

The masala fries were especially delicious! We believe the waiter gave them to us as an extra after seeing our daughter, which was incredibly thoughtful and kind of the brother. That small gesture made our experience even more special. Amazing food, warm hospitality, and genuinely kind people—we’ll definitely be back!“

“Ayat is honestly the best Restaurant in whole nyc! The food isn't just beautifully presented it also tastes amazing. You can see and taste the food is made with love. Also the staff is just lovely, I wish we had this kind of service in Germany. It’s a must visit everytime I‘m in New York. I‘ve visited two locations so far, both of them great. Don‘t miss out on it!“

“Soooo good, rice is flavorful and the chicken kebab is somehow juicy and tender when a lot of restaurants mess up and make the chicken kebabs really dry. The flavor is on point too! The sandwiches are really good too and love the seasoning on the fries. Kofta is also really good. I've been here many times and tried different things and have never been disappointed.“

“Bedouin Tent is a fantastic spot in Brooklyn for an authentic Middle Eastern meal. The food is high quality and delicious; I highly recommend the Chicken Plate, which comes with fresh salad and perfectly seasoned rice.

The atmosphere is what really sets this place apart, especially the back area which makes you feel like you are dining inside an actual tent. With outstanding customer service and a welcoming environment, it is the perfect place to experience great Middle Eastern vibes. Highly recommended!“

“The best sandwich I ever had in NYC the mama schnitzel was insane the Shawarma was so juicy no sauce was needed and meatballs soft and flavorful And the best Kabab I ever had like in my childhood in Israel .The service by shining was superb and warm.You can’t be in the neighborhood and not stop for a meal.

Vegetarian options: Sabich cauliflower humus and more

Kid-friendliness: Small burgers schnitzel hot dog“

“This place exceeded all my expectations! The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel so welcome. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I was also impressed by how reasonable the prices were—you get amazing quality without spending a fortune. Great atmosphere, outstanding service, and fantastic food. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience!“

“Food is delicious as hell and I like the energy and people are polite, but I did ask if I could replace the baba ganoush with a different appetizer, they clarified I didn't want baba ganoush, and then it was very much in my falafel platter. I just kinda. Hate eggplant but also food waste and I didn't want them to have to toss my platter or whatever if I asked for it fixed. They also skipped the hot sauce and I asked for a LOT of hot sauce. It made me sad.“

“The Lights of Baku was an excellent choice for our wedding celebration in Brooklyn.

Throughout the planning process, Tarik was extremely helpful with both the menu selection and table arrangements, making everything organized and stress-free. Roma and the entire team created a warm and welcoming atmosphere from start to finish.

The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was equally impressive: attentive, professional, and well-coordinated throughout the event.

A special mention also goes to the singer Volodya, whose captivating voice and wide repertoire added a wonderful touch to the evening.

Highly recommended for weddings, family celebrations, and special events.“

“I live upstate and I drive 2 hours just to come here and get lamp chops and rice best place ever I will never stop coming here no matter how far I have to drive“

“Hands down the best halal spot I’ve been to. The Kenny and the team kept a line out the door moving with true professionalism, the place is spotless, and the food tastes fresh and full of flavor. Fast, friendly, and absolutely five-star service.“

“We only use the best ingredients. Cozy, family owned and ran.“

“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“

“Samia’s has been in Bay Ridge for decades. My mom used to buy her Syrian food from there as she aged and was tired of cooking. Our ancestors came from Damascus and Alleppo Syria. Samia cooks with the same spices and meticulous style of mom and Sito. Whenever I travel to Bay Ridge to visit friends or family, Samia’s is my first stop off to get some of the old authentic flavors of my childhood. 🥰“

“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 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“

“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 love the food, ambience and service.“

“I happened to walk by and decided to try a cupcake. Oh em geee!!!!! They did not disappoint!!! I had the fruity pebbles cupcake and it was so delicious!!!!! I was upset I only bought one 😤 but I will definitely be going back really soon!!!!!“

“I usually don’t order /eat out much and there are a handful of places I make exceptions but this restaurant has been consistent. My last four visits, the service has been great, the food is fresh and the atmosphere is positive. I knew from the first time I randomly stopped in on a whim, they cared about what they’re putting out. Customer service is great, they accommodate an ensure you have the best clumsily experience. I can appreciate them and will continue to order as well as refer.

Don’t forget the green sauce, thank me later!“
