It’s a small family ran takeout style Lebanese restaurant and small grocery. The food is authentic very respectable price. It’s a hidden gem in NYC.

I’ve eaten here 3 times now. The falafels have been rock hard all 3 times. Awful. Also, the kebab was lacking flavor, which I was surprised about.

Used to frequent this place a lot when I lived in Sunnyside years ago. Today I returned for the first time in over 5 years.
Not sure if the ownership has changed- the chicken shawarma sandwich I got was as good as ever, but the service was just about the unfriendliest I've ever encountered. Man making the sandwich was gruff, seems like he couldn't be bothered to start making the sandwich or even to hand me a napkin after I asked for one. I originally intended to stay in and eat (as I used to love to do) but the feeling of unwelcomeness in the room made me pick up my sandwich and leave.

These guys earned a repeat customer immediately. That was one of the best shawarmas I've had in years. Super friendly; I just moved into the area and these guys made me feel very welcome.

People were great and humble,. Upon learning that I came from upstate and first time at the store - was generous enough to give a sample. Food is top class, thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent service and quality in the freshness of the food. Delicious flavor in that shawarma ??

My family and I have been coming to al Shater for as long as I can remember. We’ve always eaten incredible food here and the staff are always absolutely wonderful and generous. Recently, my family and I hosted a 100+ person event and catered the food from al Shater. 3ame Khaled treated us like family, giving us an incredible price for all of the food we ordered and even accommodated our request to slightly modify the food to best suit the style of the event. The food was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with love and the highest quality ingredients. Tons of people after the party asked us who catered the food from how incredible it was, and we proudly directed them to al Shater! 3ame Khaled was constantly communicating with us in a timely fashion, listened to any/all changes and requests we had, honestly advised us on the right quantities of food we needed for the amount of guests we were hosting, welcomed us into the store with love and even had the food prepared ahead of schedule. We ordered many things including: kibbe, shawarma, hummus, tabboule, kofta, shish tawook, mana2eesh za3tar and jibne, sfee7a, spinach fatayer, etc. I’ve attached photos of some of the food from the event for reference and highly recommend al Shater for a quick delicious bite or any of your catering needs!
