"The inside is very open and nicely decorated, and seems to be a popular family spot. The food was SO GOOD - not a single thing was mediocre or bad. It all tasted so fresh and made with love. My favorite was the chicken shawarma, the chicken was cooked perfectly with very fragrant spices, and the rice was amazing as well. They have a few locations throughout NY, and I highly recommend you visit the closest one to you. Ayat is a can’t miss."

"Ayat deserves to be nominated as the #1 Palestinian restaurant in NYC!!! I’ve been to their Brooklyn which was okay - before but this Staten Island branch is something else. First, we were greeted by Ameena - a young lady with a pretty face & a super welcoming smile . We ordered a small Fatet djej, tabbuli, watermelon halloumi salad, Ramallah mocktails, msakhan & maqloobi. Absolutely delicious options & sooo generous with their portions too! Ayat is like your Mom’s Palestinian kitchen - you can taste the homemade flavor in every dish for real. Their interior is also beautiful; you’ll see hand painted decor in every corner of the restaurant."

"Simply amazing! Salads are spectacular, dishes made with attention to every detail. Just found it and already been back 2 more times. Excited to try the next dish. Chicken dishes done to perfection. No one serves a more tender chicken. Decor is original and very beautiful. Service was excellent. Hope they stay and linger in Staten Islands culinary future."

"On a total whim me and a friend stopped here. I was absolutely not prepared for how out of this world delicious the food would be. Service was also amazing - super fast and respectful. I'm floating on a cloud. Ate too fast to get a good photo so you'll have to live with me gremlin gobbling my food. P.S. definitely get the hummus!!"
