Middle Eastern Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had the falafel sandwich like many times as a vegan, but this was soooo good. Crispy outside, soft moist inside. Your choice of “salads”/pickled veggies to add into it. I had baba ghanoush, Julienne pickled carrots , and a cubed roasted eggplant, onion, and tomato. So flavorful without being overpowering w any one ingredient. Eddy makes everything homemade by hand. Everything! The falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, the pickles, the pita. Pita so good. Large thick and soft. My friends had a beef kabob sandwich and chicken plate. They said it was delicious.

“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 went there today with my family after watching the owner’s interview on YouTube, and I’m so glad we did! I can’t describe how delicious the food was. The hummus and shawarma tasted so authentic and flavorful. The service was excellent, and the owner was incredibly friendly. Highly recommend, you must try this place!“

“Visiting with family. I was asked to choose any type of food and I decided to try Palestinian. The atmosphere was great, very welcoming. An ample menu to choose from. The food arrived very hot. Gorgeous presentation, and scrumptious spices and flavors. Very ample portions. I highly recommend others to eat here. 🤗“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“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 😃“

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

“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!“

“All the food is so delicious. Customers service beyond belief & excellent options from carnivore to vegan. Can’t emphasize enough how awesome the staff is !!! If there’s a line— it’s worth it as heck!!!“

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

“Really enjoyed the food here and thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. One thing that stood out was how quickly everything was prepared — the food came out almost immediately, which made the experience really convenient without sacrificing freshness. Everything tasted flavorful, hot, and satisfying, especially for a quick stop. The only small issue was that it was a little difficult to hear the employee speaking because she was very quiet and the plexiglass made communication harder. Aside from that, the service was still polite and the overall experience was smooth. The place felt organized, efficient, and easy to stop by when you want something quick but still good quality. Definitely a spot I’d return to again.“

“My favorite spot in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Made with love. Absolutely delicious food, and everything tastes as if it’s homemade. I truly appreciate the staff too — everyone is always very welcoming. Thank you for all that you do, Dar 525!“

“Good food well done and good service Reasonable prices“

“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.“

“One of the vest restaurants in NYC. The food is amazing and we are keep coming back over Andover.“

“WOW. We came in here not knowing what to expect and tried only 2 dishes… The Fattoush salad and the Lamb Ouzi Royale platter.
Boy, oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised!!! A little too much on the fried pita chips on the salad but I loved their dressing…a sweet and tangy flavor. Now the Lamb with rice was a hit. You have to try this lamb, it has great flavor…it’s absolutely delicious. The lamb was super tender it fell off the bone 🍖 We will be back!!!!!“

“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!“

“I work in the area and always go for lunch. Very delicious food and great customer service . They have the best shawarma and my favorite mango matcha
The best thing is they don’t use any jam or syrup I can literally chew the mango chunks and taste the matcha flavor too. Absolutely delicious“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Food is good nothing spectacular. Service is mild maybe even to the point that it’s cold. The ambiance is forgettable. Overall, it’s a nice place to go for a casual meal and maybe for a quiet conversation with a friend. Great prices.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Please call for reservation“

“I have ordered form here several times and everytime it’s been AMAZING. My go to is their chicken shawarma combo that comes with fries and coleslaw. Very filling and tastes so so good, always fresh and hot. I didn’t even know it was a women owned business!!! I haven’t visited the restaurant in person yet but will soon! Keep it up, you got a customer for life 🤍“

“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“

“One of the best kosher restaurant! Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Got a chicken burrito with pinto bean, brown rice, Monterrey jack cheese, pico de gallo and sour cream. The burrito was so good, very well seasoned. I couldn’t eat the whole thing because it was so much, so I took the rest to go. Overall the service and food was a 10/10. I would definitely go eat here and go back for lunch.“
