Middle Eastern Restaurants near South Ozone Park, NY

“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“

“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 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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“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“

“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!“

“I was craving some middle eastern/Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint! A great selection and the ingredients are all very fresh with the shish kebab made upon ordering. I had the build your own bowl and highly recommend. To top it off, the staff is very friendly and warm, even asking how the food was after!“

“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 🫶🏽🙌🏽“

“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.

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

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

“Amazing food with great prices. This was one of the best meals I had in NYC and I left very happy.

The place is nice and the food is authentic Egyptian food.

Service is very friendly, only minor things is the water, I wish it was served from the beginning and that we did not have to always ask for it!

Apart from this, this place is outstanding and 100% recommended.“

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

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL food. We got a family platter of chicken and rice and a side of jerk chicken. It was the best food I’ve had in a very long time.

Salad was delicious, everything was fresh and wrapped so perfectly. The sauces were so yummy, I’d eat here every damn day if I could.“

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

“Previous customers have already outlined why this spot stands out. The pricing respects wallets and dishes are recently prepared. The staff was present when needed. This spot deserves its recognition. This place will get my repeated visits.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was my first time at this location in greenpoint. I've been a fan of the WB location for years and years. The only thing I was sad about was the breakfast pizza was not on the brunch menu. Other than that everything as always was perfect. Great job!!“

“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.“

“Grill point is the spot to go to for Israeli food. their Shwarma, baby chicken and lamb are always cooked to perfection. Liz always gives us the best service and always makes sure everything is perfect. Great place to eat in or take out and serving sizes are great as well“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

“Being generous with my overall rating coz they have a wide variety of different foods including cool vegan options. Had vegan chicken tacos that were pretty good. The tables were dirty but they offered free Arabic tea which is nice, was delicious (I'da preferred it wasn't sweetened but open to try it how it's usually made)“

“The owner of worker of this truck is a godsend! I couldn’t figure out how to put coins in the meter and he offered to pay and did for me with his coins and refused my pay back. He is such a genuine man and deserves all of the business. When I feel better, will definitely try out his falafel! As a local dentist, I will definitely recommend his food to the patients nearby.“

“Great place, decent portion size for the price, delicious and scrumptious flavorful food. Highly recommend the lamb and chicken sandwich, you get a great mix of flavors. Relatively filling but not too much, just the right amount. Roughly 1.63 Big Macs in size but obviously much higher quality. Better than a Big Mac 100%. Great service as well, they are very friendly and nice. A small area to sit if it’s not busy, but easy to eat the sandwiches to go as well. Would definitely go again and try something else.“

“Came in for a quick bite and ended up falling in love with this place! They had generous portions and great quality food. The owner also offered me a complimentary water bottle when I was too spiced up from the jalapeño sauce! So sweet and kind :) Will tell my friends to come here as well.“

“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!“

“I tried a little of everything: their s’more cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and plain cheesecake, and it was all absolutely delicious! The buttercream on the cupcakes is sweet but not overpowering, the cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, and the cheesecake is sweetened to perfection. Such a great place to purchase from when you’re craving something to satisfy your sweet tooth!“

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

“Not to be missed. Grilled beats fried.“

“This is the best food on jamaica ave were lucky to have them here great food the best i ordered the chicken tandoori, lamb korma, and 2 garlic nann delicious and they're not stingy on the portions a lot of meat im so happy I found this place great food.“

“אוכל טוב אושפלוב טעים ובשר אכותי.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Shah Halal in Sunnyside, Queens, offers a stellar dining experience with its standout dish: the falafel over rice. The falafel is a highlight, featuring perfectly crisp exteriors and tender, well-seasoned interiors. It's evident that the ingredients are fresh, and the spices are balanced, delivering a flavorful punch with every bite. The rice, fluffy and subtly aromatic, complements the falafel beautifully, creating a satisfying base for the dish.

What truly elevates the meal is the white sauce, a creamy, tangy addition that brings everything together. It has a smooth texture and a slight zesty kick that enhances the falafel and rice without overpowering them. The sauce’s balanced flavor profile adds a delicious layer of richness, making each forkful a delight.

Overall, Shah Halal provides a superb falafel over rice that is both flavorful and satisfying, with the white sauce adding a perfect finishing touch. It’s a must-try for anyone in the area craving quality halal cuisine.“

“Im a regular here and i do love their food, rarely any complaints. I just want the staff to be aware that i found a thin METAL WIRE in my fries today. Or something like that. Please be cautious while making and eating the food. This could’ve ended up bad.“

“I’m American, but my family are Egyptian immigrants. I don’t speak Arabic, and I wasn’t overcharged. The kunafa is incredible. Having grown up with desserts my grandmother brought from Egypt, I can honestly say these treats are amazing and bring back childhood memories.“

“Food always made fresh and tasteful. Dishes feel and taste, as if someone cared about what they're sending out. The staff respected me and treated me like family, every time I dropped by. I recommend the fish, the lamb and chicken over rice and whatever you order, make sure you add their famous falafel . You'll love how that present the falafel, on your dish ?

Vegetarian options: I tried the veggie burger. Seeing how I'm not a vegetarian and enjoyed it, that should tell you how good it was.“

“Came in here after a spot me and my friend and I originally wanted to go to was packed....glad we did!

Very cozy, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food! I was pleasantly surprised with the food. Everything was super flavorful. I really want to come back spon to try some more things on the menu.“

“"The food and service here are absolutely fantastic! My favorite dish is the grilled chicken served with rice and chickpeas, accompanied by grilled jalapeños and onions on the side-so flavorful! They also have a lovely seating area on the second floor, which adds to the overall
experience. I highly recommend
this place. Give it a try-you won't regret it!"“

“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.“

“It's a food truck I love getting a free falafel but sometimes they give me one less in my platter so why is that menue says 6 for a platter reason for 3 stats is I can't see the hit sauce and its too hot so I wish they could just give the sauce in a cup would be nice if there was more rice n salad I mean ten buck s cmon fellas how come you have to hand me 5 falafel makes me feel dumb inside“
