Middle Eastern Restaurants near Jamaica, NY

“the food it's delicious 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I must say I’ve never met a kinder individual in my life. Mr. Oli works the front and cooks all the food. He is the kindest man you’ll ever meet and is one hell of a chef. The service here is impeccable and everytime I’ve come they’ve extended their kindness to allow me to try new sauces, food, etc. The chicken is absolutely fantastic especially if you live hot chicken in any capacity. The prices are great and it is in my opinion a must try!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“Family owned and delicious Mediterranean food. Friendly service.“

“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.“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“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!!!!!!“

“I’ve eaten at Ravagh Persian Grill in Roslyn many times, and my love for Persian cuisine keeps bringing me back. They recently updated the interior, and the place looks great. As usual, it was packed, but we were seated within 15 minutes. The only downside during my latest visit was the timing: our food arrived later than expected, especially since several tables seated after us were served first. Still, once the dishes arrived, the quality was outstanding—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistent with what I’ve come to expect from Ravagh. Despite the occasional odd management or service quirks, the exceptional food keeps me returning. My weakness for Persian flavors wins every time. Julie P, East Norwich, NY“

“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!“

“I went and ordered the Fahsa with lamb and the Salta about a month ago. It comes with a nice amount of bread to eat it with too.
It was wonderful and I highly recommend this place. Still remember how lovely it was so I decided to write a review. I feel like that is a good testament to how nice it was.

I recommend those two dishes if you go here.“

“I have visited Aden multiple times and have always enjoyed my experiences. Delicious Yemeni food, likely the best in Queens, whether sit down, take-out, or from their street grill, coupled with the friendly service will keep me and my family coming back. Take the poor reviews of this business and set them aside as merely bad judgment on the reviewer's. This is not a fast food restaurant! Expect to wait a little, but you will be satisfied.Their Steinway Halal cart outside offers half chicken and kabobs over rice. Delicious!“

“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“

“my first time there. the merguez sandwich is so delicious. OMG so yummy 😋 great service. 🇩🇿🇲🇦 my new destination in steinway.“

““I had an amazing experience at King of Falafel on Bell Boulevard! The falafels were perfectly crispy and deliciously tender, and the shawarma and kofta were absolutely amazing as well. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine!”“

“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!“

“Food is amazing but for the life of me I can’t figure out why this place consistently runs out of shawarma after 8 pm every night. If demand is there, is it really that difficult to make another batch? Multiple people voice this complaint and I’ve stopped going there altogether for this reason.“

“We just enjoy their family meal which was not only a great value but delicious! The food here is always great and the staff is friendly. A great neighborhood gem!“

“The best in the world 🔥🤤😋❤️❤️❤️“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love love love this place, I have been going here for almost 20 years. Ali is a gem ❤️“

“I came here with my boyfriend late on a cold night. Immediately we were welcomed by the owner with a sample of two soups lentil and harira. Harira soup was amazing, a flavor bomb! We picked Lamb in a pita and Middle Eastern meat combo. The meat was so fresh, so juicy so perfectly seasoned we couldn't get enough. All the veggies that were served with it were so fresh, the baba ghanoush, Tahini, hummus and eggplant in tomato sauce were just making the platter so diverse you want to keep coming back for more.
Samosas were so flaky, little spicy but in the best way!
Baklava was so crunchy! Ive never had this fresh and crunchy of a baklava before.
Im coming back for more!
Highly recommend it!
And they are open late!“

“I’ve known Queen since they first opened at HoY - the falafel and everything else is still reliably great and delicious.

I also love how calm this place is; it’s cute without being pretentious and this one of the very places I can sit and catch up with friends without having to scream at each other.

Pls don’t change!“

“אוכל טוב אושפלוב טעים ובשר אכותי.“

“The menu had so many great options! The food is great, we ordered beef tacos, a mixed platter, mango mock tails and a boba tea. The man who helped us was friendly and welcoming! My family and I had a great time. We will be visiting again!“

“Cute place to get take out food for weekday or Shabbos. Yisroel, the guy in the front was friendly and knowledgeable about the different foods and allowed my kids to sample the salad, inspiring me to buy it. Thanks yisroel for getting them their veggies!“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“This spot is Legit, new owners are welcoming and friendly. Celebrated a Friend’s birthday and all the staff was very attentive. They even decorated the booth with a Happy birthday sign and some flowers. They have beer buckets, cocktails, and different selection of beer . We had Chicken mofongo as appetizers, just a quick bite . The nachos were complimentary for the tables/ booth. I really enjoyed the hooka “Love”, kitchen closes at 1am . Also, they have a Dj every night , will definitely come back !!“

“It’s kind of pricey… WITH GOOD REASON! Their food is well seasoned, extremely flavorful and comes with generous portions. Their menu is customizable and they have a wide variety of options to choose from. If you can place your order ahead of time, that will cut the wait time in store.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience

I am genuinely impressed. The work was done with exceptional care, creativity, and professionalism. Every detail was thoughtful, and the final result went far beyond what I expected. It’s rare to find someone who combines talent, patience, and passion so naturally. I truly appreciate the effort and dedication — it shows in every part. Highly recommended, and I would gladly return again!“

“Chicken and rice is beautiful, best I’ve tried in Brooklyn. They improved a lot since I was in town a year ago. The marinated chicken is very tasty, I think they use tomato, and the chicken is very well cooked, not greasy or anything. It is a little spicy tho, but the rest of the food balances it out. Rice cooked perfect as well. I remember last year I came here the rice was dry.“

“I mostly come for the falafel but I ordered kefta and shawafel. I wasn't expecting the enormous amount of meat they put in the kefta platter. I'd say it's a bit pricey, but unfortunately, that's how much everything costs these days. I want the falafel all the time, but have to stop myself because too much takeout is bad for the health and the wallet, but oh it's delicious.“

“Not to be missed. Grilled beats fried.“

“Our favorite bodega in the neighborhood! Wonderful people who are always friendly and personable! Fair prices for everything and sandwiches are amazing!Update: no longer owned by the same family and is vastly different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5“

“Food is always fresh at any time of the day“

“The chicken was hot and fresh“

“Styx left a really great impression. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, and the music isn’t too loud, so it’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy your meal. The food was fresh and delicious, and the presentation of the dishes was beautiful you can tell the chefs really care.

Special thanks to our waitress Shaha she was very polite, attentive, and friendly. She helped us choose from the menu, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Service like this makes you want to come back again.

Definitely recommend this place!“

“Delicious meals, reasonable prices“
