Middle Eastern Restaurants near Rego Park, NY

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

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“My new favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing.“

“Sabry Restaurant is one of my favorite places! I’m a big fan of this restaurant. The food is delicious, and the staff are very professional, friendly, and welcoming. The place is always clean, and the food tastes amazing.
When you visit, ask for Yassir. He will take great care of you! His hospitality, along with the friendly staff, will make sure you receive the best treatment and have a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!“

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

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“What a hidden gem. The food alone could feed a small army happily. The amount of fold per dollar is amazing. The vegan options are plentiful. The vegan pizza impressed my meat eating friend. All of that PALES in comparison to the service in general. The gentlemen there are as friendly as a family friend. Jovial, attentive, and even brought some free dessert. I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants with less attentive service. A GEM of a restaurant“

“The sharing plate with hummus, muhammara, tzatziki, and naan was a great start—creamy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The kofta meatballs were juicy and well-seasoned.

The chicken shawarma was tasty, but it tasted more like a chicken curry than traditional shawarma. The steak was cooked nicely and had good flavor. Overall, a satisfying meal with a nice variety of dishes!

Pistachio baklava was super delicious!! The watermelon zero cocktail was good.“

“Had the falafel sandwich like many times as a vegan, but this was soooo good. Crispy outside, soft moist inside. Your choice of “salads”/pickled veggies to add into it. I had baba ghanoush, Julienne pickled carrots , and a cubed roasted eggplant, onion, and tomato. So flavorful without being overpowering w any one ingredient. Eddy makes everything homemade by hand. Everything! The falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, the pickles, the pita. Pita so good. Large thick and soft. My friends had a beef kabob sandwich and chicken plate. They said it was delicious.

“Great, i love this place.“

“Absolutely loved this place. The touching things they did for my sons birthdays was so nice. The food was amazing and they couldn't have enough of the Frena bread for everyone, they loved them with the trio dips. The best was the braised oxtail tortellini and the Nemesis dessert. But even more fabulous was lavender ice cream. Wow !! Great service and food.“

“Visiting with family. I was asked to choose any type of food and I decided to try Palestinian. The atmosphere was great, very welcoming. An ample menu to choose from. The food arrived very hot. Gorgeous presentation, and scrumptious spices and flavors. Very ample portions. I highly recommend others to eat here. 🤗“

“Sooo delicious!!! Wonderful staff. Great owners!!“

“Very good falafel. Quite pricey. Nice and fast service.“

“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!“

“10/10 Food and Ambience 😍“

“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.“

“3 Falafel plates, 1 Spinach pie plus drinks for $50.

The food is AMAZING!!!!!!

I can't stress enough how good it is here.

If you live locally and don't come here, well I think your mad.

If you are visiting Manhattan and don't come across the water to eat here. Well I still think your mad.

This is how Falafel and Hummus is supposed to taste.“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“The beautiful, intimate atmosphere and absolutely top notch comfort food would be worth it alone - BUT the service was also awesome. After we were graciously seated without a reservation (try to book ahead because you really won't want to miss this place), the staff was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Absolutely everything we had was wonderful but the knafeh actually brought a tear to my eye. ❤️ Absolutely would recommend 5 out of 5 stars.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’d never had falafel before trying it here, and I didn’t realize how amazing it could be until I had it at another restaurant. Ever since then, every time I come back, it never disappoints. I’d highly recommend trying it if you’re in NYC!“

“I Highly recommend Al Noor Halal Deli. I been coming here for over 10 years. You get lot of great crispy freshly cooked food. Brother at the front is a wonderful person. Chef magdi has magic in his hands.“

“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.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“Have my regular halal spots but decided to give this place a try on a whim last night. Ordered mix combo over rice with white sauce and green sauce. Pretty tasty, good portion, good prices. Shoutout to the chef, they’re cooking with care.

Zaki is also very friendly and I watched him even come around the counter to open the door for one his customers leaving with a scooter. Good owner mindset and customer service, puts him and his shop a cut above a lot of other spots. Place is also clean with seating to eat. Recommended.“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“Absolutely incredible, took great care of us! I asked if I could buy a side of toum and they said “no, I got you” and piled a bunch in my to-go bag!
Got the beef shawarma platter with hummus and rice, a good amount of food, good hummus, good rice, good beef. All around good place“

you feel welcomed“

“This is arguably the most affordable and delightful Mediterranean spot in the city. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a hidden gem, small, casual, yet bursting with flavor. The food is absolutely incredible, and the friendly staff make every visit enjoyable. With rapid service, I highly recommend trying the chicken shawarma, it's a standout.“

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

“We love this place. The food is superlative, the staff are attentive, cant think of anywhere netter for milescaround.“

“Best Falafel and Shawarma in the city! I usually order at the truck on Ditmars, and they routinely give free falafel to all those who wait for their food or to order. The portions are generous and the food is amazing. Sometimes if you go to the broadway location the service can be a bit slow, but it’s usually crowded when I go. Great place!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“I have been seeing this place for years, But not able to try the food, Ohhh looks like I missed delicious food from this place ,

Sauces very really good, normally most of the places give cheap , low quality sauces , but this place doing great job with sauces

whatever we ordered had flavor and felt really good

After this point , this is a place for me not to pass especially when I am hungry“

“Absolutely delicious food made and served by kind and caring people.
The lovely people working here take the time to go over every ingredient with us so our food allergy toddler can get her favorite eats here. The chicken or beef over rice is SO good. The wraps and zatar bread are amazing. The fries are really good too. We can't get enough.
Big portions, affordable, healthy with tons of great vegetable options. Authentic and fast!“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“I had a really good experience here- service was impeccable, we got seated immediately and served immediately. The issue was we got the vip hookahs, they did not pull well and their flavor was weak. I’m an avid hookah smoker and the overall quality was bad, I would really encourage the establishment to refine the vip hookahs“

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

“Picked up my first tgtg bag from here. It was very flavorful and could probably last me three meals. Makes me want to try their regular menu some day. They are also a grocery store and butcher in the back, and will definitely check those out next time.“

“The mussels in red sauce amazing 😻“

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