"Excellent middle eastern restaurant. With all the classic dishes like hummus and tabuleh, and good quality shawarma. They don’t have lamb but chicken and beef. Beet salad was excellent. Combination appetizer platter was excellent too - recommend it highly. Overall, a nice experience and great food."

"The food was good overall, but it didn’t really meet my expectations. The Mansaf was too oily for my taste, and the spices didn’t quite balance well — it felt a bit heavy. The cheese manakeesh was also overly oily, and the amount of cheese was too much, which ended up killing my appetite. On the positive side, the atmosphere was nice, and the owner was very friendly and welcoming, which I really appreciated. However, the food itself was not as satisfying as I hoped — mainly because of the excessive oil and overpowering spices. Overall, I’d say the restaurant is a bit overrated when it comes to the food, but the hospitality and service were excellent."

"This restaurant came to my attention through a strong recommendation from a devoted fan, so I made it a point to visit while in New York/Brooklyn. It was fairly busy for a late Sunday lunch or early dinner, which initially seemed promising. Unfortunately, my experience was somewhat disappointing. The first item we attempted to order, laham ajun, was unavailable. The menu felt a bit cluttered and slightly overpriced for what was offered. While the restaurant appeared well-staffed, a noticeable language barrier made communication somewhat difficult. The food itself carried good flavor, though I am uncertain whether it truly represents Palestinian cuisine as advertised—it didn’t quite evoke the familiar tastes I associate with authentic Mediterranean dining. Portion sizes were generous, which was appreciated. The most surprising—and frankly disheartening—moment was when hot tea was served in a Turkish-style china cup poured from a coffee pot. It felt inconsistent with the restaurant’s cultural presentation. Overall, while the visit was underwhelming, I do believe the place deserves a second chance."

"Food was delicious. Recommend the mezze plate and lamb chops. Service was overall very good and attentive. Only complaint is with the busers. They were cleaning plates, reaching into and through our hands while we were still eating and packing our food. I asked them to wait and they still continued. Decorations are very thoughtful and nice lighting. Restaurant has lots of people trying to talk over the music. Would not come here if you want to be able to hear each other easily. Also very hot inside during summer months."

"We were visiting from MA for the day and decided to try this Palestinian restaurant, what an incredible choice!! Our server, Eric, was so kind and welcoming. The food did take a little time, but we honestly didn’t mind because it gave us a chance to sit, relax, and talk. And when it arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything tasted so fresh, full of flavor, and was easily 10/10. This is hands down the best restaurant meal I’ve had in a long time. I’m usually disappointed when eating out, but this experience was the exact opposite. Highly recommend!"
