Middle Eastern Restaurants in Buffalo, NY

“Everything is delicious! Shawarma, fluffy falafel, creamy hummus, salads - all amazing. And the nicest, most welcoming staff.“

“Stopped by while working in the area. The service was fast and friendly. The beef shwarma was amazing, flavored perfectly and the beef melts in your mouth. The fries were great as well and a generous portion. I will be stopping by again as soon as im in the area!“

“I have been here multiple times and the food is always AMAZING. I will recommend this place through and through, no matter what I get I love. The atmosphere is good and you can see other patrons enjoying their food, never any complaints. Absolutely delicious!!!“

“Super tasty? My brother and I came, clean restaurant, super tasty food. I consider myself to be an expert in Yemen Cuisine and this place was A1. Top notch. The best of the best. We got the FAHSA, super good tender lamb, seasoned to perfection and tender. The kofta kabab sandwich is made fresh to order and absolutely is GAS.

This spot is pure gas.“

“I never got a chance to go when it was Shwarma City, but Habibi did not disappoint.
The food was fast, tasty, and a good value. The lamb gyro wrap was well stuffed and seasoned, and they served it with the very addictive crispy fries.“

“Great place to shop! A huge variety of items that cover East Asian, West Asian, Middle Eastern and African cuisines. I found exotic ingredients and products I never saw before. The produce is fresh and varied. I found fresh green almonds, cousa and the baby eggplants that are needed to make makdouss.

The only issue I had was getting help at the bakery counter. I needed to get Baklawa from the glass case and it is only allowed to employees. There is no employee stationed behind the bakery counter. It took long to wait for a cashier to be free to come and help me with getting my Baklawa order pulled out of the case and packaged into a carry-out container. The same situation happened at the meat counter. They have it set up so that there is no pre-packaged zabiha meat. One has NO CHOICE but to wait in line with all the other people, while two men work at a very slow pace to prepare the customer's orders one by one. I could see it was easily going to be a full hour wait for me. They really NEED to start making prepared packs of the zabiha chicken so customers can more quickly grab the pre-butchered meat; then the line would be only for customers who need their meat custom cut. Because of how long the wait was, I gave up and decided to buy zabiha meat elsewhere. I simply didn't have the time for that.
On the happy side, they sell whole legs of goat and sheep and lamb, meats that are difficult to find.“

“Got one of their signature drinks the Haraz latte. It was delicious and smooth and I already want to go back and get another one.

The inside of the store is super cute and well decorated. They have extra seating in the back that's kind of hidden if you don't walk back there.

The staff were efficient and friendly!!“

“Always fresh, delicious, perfectly spiced! The people are wonderful too!“

“I've gone twice now. The first time I got Shawarma, and then I got foul. The foul was new to me and absolutely amazing. The worker was very friendly, even if we needed translators to conversate.“

“Food was awesome. We had fatoush, falafel plate, and something like samosas - fried Phyllo dough like pockets of meat and spices - and Arabic coffee. Service was a little slow, but very friendly. A mix of people were in and out even during the after-lunch hour. There's a little sort of import store inside, which we poked around in but didn't buy anything. I'd like to see them expand the restaurant and start delivery on Skip the Dishes, I'd order every week. We're definitely going back soon.“

“Friendly service and tasty food“

“We were looking for a specific kind of rice and this is where we could find it! We came here from NYC to buy this rice! Lol! Yes sounds crazy but my wife wanted this so I had to drive for her. This is a huge supermarket and they have halal meat as well. Also I saw they have goat meat if you are interested. The rice we were looking is called Anbar rice. Thanks.“

“The chicken was great and very reasonably priced.“
