“Easter Sunday. We were a party of 6 who didn’t book in advance as I didn’t see the link on the other page. We were graciously seated quickly and everything exceeded our expectations, the food and drinks were amazing special thanks to Zorbey our waiter who went over and above to support us!“
“We really enjoyed our food and everything was fresh, clean and tasty. The Waiter, Freddy, was very attentive and quick. He gave us excellent suggestions and he made a very delicious Chai latte both hot ? and iced. The atmosphere is clean and beautiful and peaceful. We'll be back!“
“Delicious food & service. There are two restaurants I would recommend for Lebanese food in NY - Nabila's is one of them. The menu is quite minimal but captures the high notes of Lebanese cooking. I wish I could say it's cheap but this is not a kebab shop! the quality of ingredients and attention to flavour is most like what you find in Lebanon (also the good design - not many people know that Beirut is a design capital with some seriously stylish restaurants).“
“The ambiance of the restaurant was lively and inviting, adding to the overall dining atmosphere. As for the food, each dish we ordered was a true culinary delight. From the flavorful hummus and falafel to the perfectly seasoned kebabs and shawarma, every bite was a taste of Lebanon.I was particularly impressed by the authenticity and quality of the dishes. The flavors were rich, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation impeccable. It was evident that the chefs at Balade take great pride in delivering authentic Lebanese cuisine.Overall, our dining experience at Balade was a memorable one. The combination of delicious food, great service, and a bustling atmosphere made for a fantastic evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to savor the flavors of Lebanon in a vibrant and welcoming setting."“

“Been several times, dining in and take-out, and it's been consistently fresh and tasty. I particularly like the bread they serve when you eat there.I am not sure why someone put that this is in the Leo Building, which is several blocks away in the town center.Parking: They have a small lot they share with the restaurant next door. A couple of the spots are tough to back out of. Parking on the street is two hours during the day and there are meters (ParkMobile app) which are in use until 6PM .“
“Had the pleasure of dining at this fine establishment with three of my closest friends. Not only was the atmosphere welcoming, staff lovely, but the food was delicious. Perfect place to catch up with loved ones, while simultaneously enjoying homemade stuffed grape leaves or hummus. Will be back. Thank you!“
“Underrated GEM! How lucky am I to have found this place? Mediterranean food is growing on me and I crave it so often now. Finding this place is a game changer! While I wasn't expecting a place like this to have $25 menu items, it's totally worth it! We got the grilled lamb chops for $25 which is a bit pricey but believe me when I tell you it's worth it! While waiting for our takeout, we chatted up the nice lad at the counter who was kind enough to tell us more about the neighborhood and what there is to do out here. Place is small and basic, i would likely order for takeout than dine in.“
“First time at this location (usually go to the one on Bleeker) and loved how spacious it is! Staff is friendly, food is great, and they have a nice assortment of pantry goods. The labneh is one of my favorites, and even better when you put some Sumac on top. The Fatayer is my go to, nice flavors and spices.“
“It's so fun to eat food with your hands, and although the triangle folded up isn't the most practical shape for that, it still works. The vegan spinach is the best! Order to go or squeeze around one of the tables here. The desserts are phenomenal. Watch the steps on the way out!“
“A true 5/5!!Delicious food.We came in around 12:15 on a Saturday and they were able to immediately seat our party of 6.Service was quick and waiter was helpful.Cute and clean bathroom.The freshly baked pita that we watched go into the big oven was just a cherry on top!The only thing I didn’t love was the turkey bacon but otherwise I’m in love“
“I went to Nala to try out the Middle Eastern Counter and Grill. I wanted to try out a Naya bowl. The cashier notified me that I can customize my bowl with meats and veggie toppings. I chose beef shawarma as the meat of choice and went creative for my Nala Bowl. For middle eastern dishes, never leave out the hummus. In addition to the hummus, I also added onions, lettuce, cabbage, mixed greens, and a feta cheese. I loved the taste and texture of the Nala Bowl the associate helped prepare for me. The meat was especially well-seasoned and the sauce added the perfect spice for the meal. The customer service was excellent, the place was comfortable and organized, and my order was processed smoothly in the quiet evening. Thank you Nala!Vegetarian options: Vegetarians have full control over what can be put in a Nala Bowl, for example. Simply refrain from selecting a meat topping as a choice and proceed to select vegetarian options for your veggie bowl.“
“South Slope hasn’t gotten a clue about this DIVINE mouthwatering Lebanese/American food gem ? Slopers don’t need to go all the way to Bay Ridge for Lebanese food, which quite honestly, based on my experience, isn’t good as this place! A real chef is cooking, everything taste sooo good & made how it’s suppose to be made! the tender grills are perfectly spiced, even the sides are absolutely delish, unlike other places. Once you try it once you’re gonna keep going back or ordering again because the food is fantastic & I’m in the Middle Easterner that knows our food saying it. Wish I tried this place sooner, didn’t know I’d be surprised by this spot. Was hungry & had to run to R train so stopped for a quick bite & now I’m regular there. I even order from them ?“
“I've dined at Zaytinya in DC many times and have always enjoyed it. I was thrilled to learn it's in the city. The food was delicious however the drink portions were so small and pricey. The cosmo came in the size of a large shot glass. I'm not kidding. The wine pour was about a 1/4 cup - $21. I'm not kidding. Have your cocktails before or after dinner!!!!“
“NAYA is my all-time favorite fast-casual place in NYC! They had the most delicious bowls - I usually get half greens and half brown rice, with chicken shawarma and a bunch of their yummy veggie and hummus toppings. This location is conveniently in Moynihan Train station and I often will pick up a bowl to eat on a long train ride. The portions are huge and very satisfying. Feels healthy but flavorful at the same time. Also their Za'atar pita chips are bomb as a snack, highly recommend!“
“As a born and raised New Yorker, I have eaten in a lot of restaurants and I can say without any doubt ILILI is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. The food is outstanding and most importantly, it is consistent. It has been several years since I have lived in the city and now that I am back, the first place I had to eat was ILILI. It has been three years and NOTHING has changed. The food, service, and atmosphere are simply spectacular. To me, that speaks volumes.“
“Among the variety of foods that you can find on the second floor of this shopping center, we find this one at the end. The prices seem affordable to me and they have a variety of choices. In this case I ordered a chicken shawarma that was delicious, you can accompany them with any topping you want. is a. great option for those looking for a healthy option. The atmosphere in this place is 10/10 you can go with children and you have an excellent view. The attention of the workers was excellent. Of course I would return to this place and I recommend it.“
“This place is seriously delicious! Ordered for delivery and everything was packed nicely and everything was there! Got the bowl with vermicelli rice, chicken shish taouk, garlic whip, baba ghannouj, onion-parsley sumac , cucumber and mild red sauce. Every dish comes with pita which is absolutely delicious! The serving size is pretty decent, I wish that the sides were cut a little smaller and they have more of it, rather than a few little pieces. The rice is always good and flavorful, the chicken shish is okay, I prefer the chicken shawarma. The garlic whip is tasty, I wish there was more of it! The baba ghannouj is so good I always get a side of it! It comes with one pita, but you really need to buy extra pita for it! So good! Def would be coming back again!“
“Tasty, healthy and reasonably priced food can be hard to come by in Manhattan. Naya is one of best in these regards! I pickup lunch from them about once a week and they always have my order ready when promised and usually someone helping me find my order which is great!Dietary restrictions: I’m vegan and can find quite a few things to eat here. Vegans have to go with the ruby rice and have to avoid the baba ganoush, which is unfortunate because baba ganoush is usually vegan and one of my favorites!y“
“Le Sajj Restaurant is an absolute gem for Lebanese cuisine! From the moment you step in, the inviting ambiance sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The flavors of their dishes are an exquisite journey through Lebanese culinary artistry – each bite tells a story of skillful preparation and authentic taste.The menu is a treasure trove of delicious options, and the attention to detail in presentation is commendable. The staff's warmth and attentiveness add to the overall charm, making every visit memorable.I highly recommend trying their signature dishes; each one is a testament to the restaurant's dedication to quality. Whether you're a fan of traditional Lebanese cuisine or a first-timer, Le Sajj is sure to leave you impressed and craving for more. A definite must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking an authentic Lebanese dining experience.“
“Ordered on their website for pick up - super convenient! There was someone at the pick up register to help me expedite the order. Clean space, decent amount of seating, but low side tables (along wall) so not as ergonomic. Will def be back! Great pita! Got the beef sharwna, baba goulash, veggie toppings, and feta“
“Loved the food and there were many vegetarian and vegan options, even entrees. Many of the entree options were pretty unique so definitely looking forward to coming back. The fava bran appetizer was unique as well served warm nicely flavored with garlic. Prices were also very affordable compared to most Mediterranean restaurants.The restaurant is located in the basement and had a nice setting making us feel like we were in Lebanon!“
“This place offer a fantastic culinary experience with a wide variety of flavorful dishes, generous portions, and welcoming atmospheres. If you appreciate delicious grilled meats, vibrant vegetarian options, and a taste of Middle Eastern hospitality, a visit to Naya is highly “
“Good food, decent portions and a large selection of fresh ingredients for the bowl. It's all very fresh. You get a pita with the bowls. The dips are very tasty. We were very satisfied and can only recommend the Naya. The price-performance ratio is great!“
“I order here with my Naya app at leas once a week because the food is healthy and tasty. I always use the reorder option but one time I selected the wrong store. I suggest the Naya app bypass store selection when reorder so I don't make mistake on selecting the wrong store. I met Mery, I think she is the supervisor because she appeared to be go-to-person when her co-workers encounter problems. Mery was very friendly, customer-oriented, just know how to handle problems, and kudo to her for fixing my mistake.“
“The staff is really what has me coming backThis location has a great placeA group of people, they are wonderful and so sweet and always work hard!!! It is also very busy at this location and the employees are just so darn nice and great! Thank you!!!!! know how hard it can get sometimes but let me tell ya, this staff is the best!!!Amazingly, it is delicious and crunchy food. I want to eat it in a dream again. Thank you for eating. Thank you, drowning person. To provide such performance with success for a better and better future ??“
“Food is always tasty and ready in no time. Today I decided to go and order there instead of ordering online. Turns out it’s faster. There was a long line went I got there but it moved really fast. The workers are very efficient! And to my surprise the is no tip jar or tip option while paying for your order. Hey Naya your workers deserve tips!! I’m sure many people like me would gladly give extra in return to their effective cordial service :)“
“My partner and I shared a variety of appetizers that were all homemade, fresh and delicious. The baba ghanoush and foul were some of the best we’ve ever had. We tried molokhia for the first time - pleasantly surprised! Bright and lovely color and flavor. Everything tasted healthy and carefully prepared. Will definitely be back.“
