"Welcoming, clean, and absolutely delicious manouche! We tried the cheese, meat and the zaatar and all were wonderful. Lara was so warm and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!"

"Balade Your Way is an absolute gem in NYC. From the first bite, it felt like a warm, comforting trip straight to the heart of Lebanese street food. We tried the manouche with zaatar, cheese, and meat, and every single one was outstanding. The zaatar was perfectly fragrant and earthy, the cheese was rich and melty without being heavy, and the meat manouche was packed with flavor, seasoned just right, and baked to perfection. The bread itself deserves a shoutout, soft, slightly crisp, and clearly made with care. To finish, we had the mouhalabieh, and it was the perfect ending. Light, creamy, delicately floral, and not overly sweet. It balanced the meal beautifully and tasted incredibly authentic. Everything felt fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of soul. Balade Your Way nails both flavor and quality, making it an easy go to spot whether you are craving comfort food or introducing someone to Lebanese cuisine for the first time. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you Lara for your hospitality!"

"This is our second time here in a week! We found this place after visiting the original Balade restaurant downtown. This is one of New York’s hidden gems in our book. Really good food at a fair price with nice decor. We traveled all the way from Connecticut just to come here…and we’ll be back."

"I come here for lunch almost every day, it is the best food in the area by far! It is healthy, fresh every day, and a lot of selection between the different meats and toppings.The manager Lara takes good care of us every day. Just like I highly recommend the sheesh Tauk and lamb kofte. Also they have friend samasak and sell Karoun Dairy Tan drink."
