“Fabulousness A must place to go“

“Loved dining here! The menu had great options, everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff made us feel right at home. The place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Overall, a wonderful experience — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been to Levant a couple of times now and I feel i’m ready to share my experience. First time I ordered a sausage feteer to go. It was still perfectly crispy when I got it home. I like the square bottom bag and the octagonal box the feteer comes in. Today, I was in the mood for a wrap. I ordered the beef shawarma. They toasted the wrap - nice and hot on a giant panini press. It was so juicy I didn’t need the special Levant sauce. Then I thought let me dig the wrap in the sauce and wow. Tasted even better. Will be back to sample their meat pies next!“

“I've lived in the neighborhood for 2yrs and finally decided to Try this Restaurant and it hasn't disappointed me yet! I was confused on what dish to get so the cashier (young lady with glasses) recommended "Chicken TIkka" it's so yummy ? the food was hot and freshly cooked this is my third time visiting. I'll definitely be back to try more items off the menu. I Also like they are open lateeeeee“

“Outstanding Middle Eastern food and great service even on a busy Saturday night in June, such a great vibe 🎉“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“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.“

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

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

“Great food and friendly people the best Falafel and Shawarma“

“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.“

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

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

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Delicious , great service“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Brooklyn in such a central location. Their food is amazing and so delicious but their baba ganoush? Hands down, my FAVORITE item on their menu. I have not found another baba ganoush that comes close to how delicious their's is. The servers are so generous and refills the pita (which comes out hot and fresh). In a time where restaurant prices are astronomical, Bedouin Tent somehow keeps their prices relatively low for the quality of their food. I've come several times already and look forward to coming back“

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“Love this spot. A staple of the local neighborhood. The entrees were perfect and nicely seasoned. Hummus was delicious. Shish kabob, skirt steak, baby chicken were all very juicy. Shnitzel super crunchy. Intimate atmosphere and excellent service.“

“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.“

“I love it nice food friendly ppl thank you“

“Lavashawarma is absolutely excellent! 🌟 From start to finish, everything was perfect — the food is delicious and fresh, the staff are so kind and helpful, and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. The delivery was also fast and professional. Honestly, every detail shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

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

“Came in for dinner with wifey… and BROOOO!! This food slaps different!!! Oh my god! Guys not to sound dramatic or anything but this food taste like homemade from grandma vibes! Also if your looking to dine in this restaurant there is many seatings available, bib tables for bigger families as well! 4.7 stars is disrespectful, it deserves a 5 STAR!!! See you guys soon“

“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.

“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.“

“Yemeni food in the heart of the Bronx. Authentic, flavorful and economical. We had the Lamb Haneeth, 10/10 and also had the hummus with meat 9/10. They start you off with broth soup & salad & the bread was perfect. Cost about $20 a person and we got a few cold drinks.“

“Truly the best falafel — I’ve been supporting this spot since I was a child and they were a cart in front of the C-Town on Broadway (RIP). Since their spot opened, I regularly pickup or dine in with loved ones. The hot sauce is deliciously spicy, the chicken is always grilled to perfection, the rice pudding is a perfect end to the meal, and the salad+hummus combo is my absolute favorite. Also, as someone with Celiac Disease, it’s been great to have this reliably gluten free delight in my neighborhood. It’s such a wonderful place and I’m so grateful they exist, what a journey it’s been over the years! I also genuinely love the political decor in the restaurant, free Falastin forever and always 🫶🏽🙌🏽“

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

“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.“

“We had the pleasure of dining in your restaurant last week, We instantly loved the mediterranean style atmosphere of your place. We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent. Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“Best restaurant I've ever found in midtown (and I've been here for a few years). . . . FIVE STARS! after having Tawook Chicken or Lamb Kabob for dinner I like to take home some Mouhamara and some hummus, especially on a Friday, for snacking. Balade helps get me through the weekend. 😄 I'm sharing a pic of some of Balade's fresh, delicious, Mouhamara on a diced up baked red potato. I had this at home this morning. It's also great on pita, or a cracker, or a slice of toast, or . . .“

“Great food, excellent service. Perfect location. You can come here and enjoy a nice authentic meal. That is, you know, largely affordable and you'll get to experience some of the best dishes like mandi, and you can also enjoy some nice and unique desserts.
This seems to be the only restaurant of its kind.In the boston area.And I expect that it gets busy at times and you have to make a reservation“
