Great food and great ambiance. They were kind and super welcoming. Highly recommend the salads and of course the maqlouba
What a unique place. The space is large and airy and beautiful and uniquely decorated with murals and paintings. The food is authentic and tastes completely home made. The lamb ouzi meat was tender and soft and fell off the bone. The rice is aromatic and well cooked The Maqliba is a definitely a must try but they have really good salads as well if you don't want to try the meat. The service is prompt and super friendly We were a large group and the service stayed efficient and friendly Great addition to enrich the Staten Island cuisine scene
This was a good find! The interior is very spacious and the seating is comfortable. There are many artificial plants throughout which adds to the ambiance. Our server was friendly and the service was quick. The food was phenomenal. The pita bread came out warm and had a good texture. The dips were also good with a nice variety of flavors. The kabsa had juicy chicken and rice was seasoned just right. It initially looked that it would heavy, but it was not at all. The coffee was also yummy after adding some sugar.
Delicious food (generously portioned) delivered in the most beautiful reusable tote bag. Long live PALESTINE and its beautiful, generous people!
My family and I were the first to try the vegan kefta at the Hylan Blvd location. It's been years since my husband had kefta since going vegan. We were not disappointed at all. The flavors were so good and authentic. The char on the vegan meat also was *chef's kiss* We also had the fattoush which as always was delicious. We will definitely be back soon.
10/10, amazing food and excellent portions. First time trying Ayat. I only ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees: Appetizer 1: hummus Appetizer 2: falafel Entree 1: mixed shawarma platter (comes with 3 sauces, 3 pita breads) Entree 2: araby beef shawarma (comes with pickled salad) When I opened up the beautiful bag and saw all of the generous portions, I started drooling and wanted to ravage through the food ASAP (but camera eats first). The taste and portions were very satisfying and I was already thinking of when my next order will be. I enjoyed filling up a pita bread with the mixed shawarma platter and delicious hummus. The mixed shawarma platter comes with soft Arabic rice at the bottom. Recommending this place to everyone I know and looking forward to dining in next time.
This place is a gem. Extraordinarily fresh and tasty food. Friendly service. BYOB! Lovely ambiance. We sit under the olive tree when we can. Try the watermelon salad and lamb kebab!!!!
Amazing food - every time! I have been to every location in NY/Brooklyn and I can honestly say that the food is consistently fresh and tasty. Highly recommend!
Delicious food and shawarma Excellent customer service The ambience is very cultural and very unique. Loved how new it looks and clean. I would definitely come visit again.
