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

“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!“

“Amazing. Got the shawarma plate and it was loaded. Really appreciate the portions of meat and vegetables. Delicious toppings with hummus and tahini and cucumber and cabbage and eggplant etc. Highly recommend. You will be satisfied. Great, fast service too.“

“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!“

“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.“

“It is the best persian food I have tried in New York. The staff was friendly and professional.The owner is very kind, also he is the former goal keeper of Persepolis soccer team of Iran.“

“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 ❤️❤️“

“The chicken over rice was really good. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and the rice was soft and flavorful. The white sauce and hot sauce made it even better. The service person was very kind and friendly, which made the experience even nicer. Overall, it was filling, tasty, and I would definitely get it again.“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Gazala's. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan. Excellent food. Very friendly and professional staff. Even the pickiest members of our party enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.“

“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“

“Such a great neighborhood spot. I went there late the other night craving falafel, and even though they told me they had run out, the guy actually went downstairs to check and found some. He ended up making fresh falafel patties right there just so I could have them.
The sauces were incredible and the food was absolutely delicious. Even though we ordered takeout, the hospitality was 10/10. It’s rare to find places that go the extra mile like that. Definitely coming back.“

“We literally just went two nights in a row!

The food is awesome. First night we got the Shrimp Ala Sabry's. Amazing. Second night we got the Seafood Combo for two!! Incredible. The prices were also so reasonable!

Highly recommend!“

“Friendly service, good food takes time to prepare but it's so worth the wait“

“Rothchilds never disappoints. We love all the food options, and drinks. The owner and staff couldn’t be more accommodating.“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Can not wait to return!“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

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

“Really a great and very unique restaurant. First of all, the bread is more than great and completely different from any other bread in the United States. In the restaurant, you feel as if you are in Egypt or any other Arab country. You can have breakfast with beans, falafel, hummus, liver, and heart, just like you would eat in any popular restaurant in Egypt. For lunch, you can also eat Mandi and various delicious meats. The prices are reasonable, and the area where the restaurant is located is very lively 🌸🌸“

“My opinion is 8.3/10. Overall I did enjoy it for my first shashuka. $15 for hummus, 2 eggs and 2 pitas pockets. Overall fresh and enjoyable. Maybe wait was a tad long about 30 mins and maybe a little strong on tahini in the hummus. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

“Stopped in for lunch during a conference nearby. The falafel appetizer was filling, tasty, and with just a bit of heat. And the proprieter was delightfully friendly, throwing in a bit of hummus and a pita. A dessert of baklava was sweet without being sickly or cloying or too wet. And the price with a soft drink was less than $12, which is a real bargain. I'll be back again if I'm in the area.“

“Can’t say enough great things about this place! I placed a catering order for my baby shower and everyone loved the delicious food! We had chicken shawarma, falafel, basmati and yellow rice, hummus, baba ghanouj, house salad, and all the different types of pickles and sauces. The portions were generous, and the owner was very sweet and responsive throughout the entire process. I will order here again in a heartbeat!“

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

“Hi! Stopped into the UES’ Lava Shawarma for the second time, and everything was - once again - excellent. The two young men who work behind the counter there (at least in the early evening hours) were: polite, friendly, professional and hardworking. The environment is welcoming, and the food is so yummy. Both times I’ve been there, I ordered the falafel wrap. It was super delicious — and full of fiber and protein, without feeling heavy on my tummy; I might just become a more regular customer, even though I’m trying to be mindful about my food budget these days. : ) (Their pricing is affordable to most, I simply mean that as a general comment.) Thank you for taking such good care of me, gentlemen! Stay warm and well-fed, Kat PS The only thing I'd humbly suggest, if I may, would be to put out a few containers of olive oil for customers -- to drizzle on their falafel goodness.“

“A True Paradise!

I'm thrilled to return to 2 Paradise Restaurant after a year, and I must say, they've taken their excellence to the next level! My previous experiences were already top-notch, but the improvements they've made are truly impressive.

I ordered two chicken wraps, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation shone through in every bite.
I highly recommend 2 Paradise Restaurant to anyone seeking exceptional taste and value. The team's dedication to continuous improvement is genuinely admirable.“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“For a quick lunch on-the-go, NAYA has the perfect options! Their pita pockets are a brilliant idea that I’m glad they’ve brought to the scene, and the flavors they offer are great. I loved the Falafel and Chicken Shawarma Pockets, and their Za’atar Chips went great with the various dips and sauces they offer, my favorite being the Baba Ghanoush. Highly recommend to all!“

“Food was delicious, the people and service was excellent. ❤️❤️❤️“

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“Delicious, fresh chicken and lamb, perfectly seasoned and cooked, and served with a smile. Quality of the meats is above the usual cart fare, and it makes a big difference. We eat a LOT of halal cart food, and Abdul offers some of the best we’ve had. If you’re in the area (or flying out of JFK and have some extra time), it’s worth a small detour.“

“Nice and clean place!! I loved the pizza and the cheese cake!!!!!!!!!!“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“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.“

“This restaurant adds something missing from our neighborhood. The food satisfies and the service impresses. Her cheerful approach sincerely transformed my experience. They showcase their specialty effectively. I believe you'll enjoy this spot.“

“This restaurant has been a cherished part of my life since my elementary school days. The garlic sauce is amazing, and their grilled chicken with the red sauce is pure magic. The boss's warm hospitality makes you feel at home, and their Basbousa dessert is a must buy after dinner/lunch. I can't rate it anything less than 5/5 - I'll be a lifelong customer!“

“Very classy place to conduct a business dinner and the food is great and plentiful. I had a business dinner meeting here and was 100 percent happy with the surroundings as well as the service and food. The sushi was first class as were the specialties“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places in Harlem to hear great music while enjoying food & company!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“I like the setup of the food very clean some Buffet places you go to it's nasty and messy this was very impressive and the food was reasonable. I didn't get a lot but it was enough to satisfy me . It was really tasty well seasoned and and freshly made.“

“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.“

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

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“
