Au Za'atar, New York NY

The food was dry I got me a lemonade and it had something red in it plus the straw was broken also table was dirty

Good food, lots of seating space.
We had Jebne Manouche, Riz A Djaj and kibbeh.
Highly recommend the the Riz A Djaj.
Service was very attentive.

The gyro platter felt gimmicky but the hummus and babaganoush was the best I'd ever had. I highly recommend the dips sampler platter, it was incredibly fun and worthwhile!

A very nice restaurant. I had breakfast with falafel and eggs with halloumi cheese, a plate of beans and a plate of eggplant. This dish is a story in the brain and I closed a refrigerator with mint tea, and it is not the best Thank you to the Lebanese brother who did not get a chance and knew his name because he was busy and the restaurant was very crowded

My top pick for one of the best Mediterranean food in NYC. Love their Shish Tawook, sumac Fries, and their table-side Shawarma (Go with a group of 4). Don’t forget to ask the Hostess Suraya for recommendations. She gives amazing recommendations. Good Ambience and great service.

We were visiting NY and had Dinner here. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was spot on. Must visit if you are looking for Mediterranean Food.

The food is average, overpriced, and we had to wait for more than an hour to receive our food. Bad experience, I wouldn't recommend

Everything here is delicious. No doubt about it. The hummus, the flatbreads, the apps, the sauces-all binge worthy. And the table side shwarma with the zatar fries is the tastiest sandwich you could want. The vibe is Ave A. Lots of attractive young folks and noise and a staff ranging from friendly and competent to distracted and bored. The shwarma can be a bit unwieldy tho. The machine takes up a lotta space on the table and it can get very hot and the staff often seems to not know where to plug it in. But get it any way. I’ve had the beef and lamb. The beef was juicier than the lamb. Both delicious.

Went here for late lunch and the restaurant was pretty busy. The tabletop chicken shawarma which they said feeds 2-4 people had so much food in it even for 4 of us. The baba ghanoush was also a great appetizer.

I came here with two friends after wanting to come for a while. We had a later reservation but the restaurant was still very crowded with no signs of it closing down for the night. There was no AC, just several fans, which made it a bit uncomfortable on an 86 degree day, but we did cool down a bit. The food was all very good, but our server was one of the worst I have ever had in New York. We had to practically beg for water refills, and when we ordered a bottle of wine, he eventually came back and said they didn’t have it. We then chose 3 alternates, none of which they had in stock. The only suggestion he gave us was one $20 over what we had requested. We ended up just picking a completely different wine just because we were tired of going back and forth. The rest of the meal, our waiter just obviously did not want to be there. I was honestly shocked with his level of attitude as we were definitely a relaxed party and not aggressively asking for much. By the time we got the bill it was clear he wanted us to leave. I am typically always a 20% tipper no matter what, but his service was so poor it severely affected our experience. I’m honestly unsure if I’d come back, as I’ve had much better service at Laser Wolf and Cafe Mogador.

The place is dainty,
The food was really good, especially the spicy hummus they provide you with so many accompaniments,
We ordered shish tawooq with vermicelli rice and chicken kafta kebab with sumac fries, the chicken was so soft and juicy, and the sumac fries were to die for
Overall the food was amazing the staff are good although we only spoke to one staff as we were seated outside however Ali was helpful and suggested dishes to us
Worth the visit

The service was terrible, our order took more than 50 minutes. Food is over priced. NOT RECOMMENDED

The best food ever
The best Arabic food in New York
Atyab Akel Arabi b new york

Nice place. Good food but they are out of the meat shawarma in many occasions which is unacceptable.

For the Gyros lovers!
My family and friends
(7 people) had a blast at this place today!
My friend made the reservation for 2pm for lunch. We order 1 lamb and 1 chicken gyro (whole you see in the picture) comes with french fries and pita!
Appetizer we had hummus and so many delicious dipping, salad etc. We order a bottle of rose and the man section their beers. All together we paid with drink food and dessert included $450
And still we have “to go” boxes 2 from leftovers! Lovely place, family friendly.

Today I took falafel, kebab and chicken kafta. The ladies at the front, I wish every restaurant have friendly waitresses like here. After we picked up the food on the side we switched the sandwiches accidentally but they help me and fix it make a new one for us in 5min. I saved some tahini for tomorrow too! Thank you see you soon!
