Sezam — Attraction in New York

Admittedly, I was drawn in by the mega cheburek seen on social media (which isn't on the online menu but is available in the dine-in menu) and ultimately left full having had an excellent assortment of food.

The menu is EXTENSIVE and a bit overwhelming if, like us, you're not so familiar with the cuisine. We started with the lagman soup. Ultimately, we probably didn't need this but the portion was great for two people and the flavoring of the broth lovely. Next came the mega cheburek. We donned our black latex gloves provided with the steak knife and went about tearing this thing up. The dough was lovely (crispy some places, softer others). The meat itself was not the most flavorful (probably our only negative) but the two sauces (one a creamier sauce and one a tomato-based sauce) really made up for this once you were comfortably rolling the cheburek and dipping and there was a TON of meat. This in itself probably would have been enough food. But alas, we also had ordered lamb kebabs (maybe the most delicious meat I had here and a great portion) and lamb ribs (also a really solid portion but a bit on the fattier side).

We were given complimentary baklava, which was a super nice showing. This complimented overall the service we had, which was stellar from start to finish and super super nice. The decor is interesting and I can see it as an event hall, but also a nice little stop for dinner. Finally, I was really blown away by the pricing as everything was so much cheaper than I was used to for comparable food in the area. We ordered some plov to go and I am excited to eat this for...

We had Sezam chef and his team cater my husbands birthday in Jersey last night! We don’t know where to start! Everything was perfect from start to finish! First and foremost food was out of this world! Every single guest had something good to say about the food! But what’s just as important, chef is super lenient with timing. When most of our guest were running pretty late, he made sure to adjust the time accordingly to assure everyone is able to enjoy everything straight from the grill. One more things to say about the food - the portions!!! Oh my gosh! Portions are huge, chefs generosity had no limits! Lastly, the team! Team was great, everyone was extremely nice and pleasant. They worked around all our needs with professionalism and smiles in their faces. Oksana the server was a doll! She assured tables were always neat and tidy. She had access to our kitchen in the house and made sure everything was neat and clean there as well. I was pleasantly surprised when she packed all the leftovers and neatly stacked everything up before leaving - I didn’t expect her to do it and was pleased with that as well. Overall, she’s another great experience. Not only my husband was happy with his birthday, but all the guests as well! We’ll definitely be hiring Chef Isaac again many more times! Million...

We were there for a retirement party on a Saturday night.We had maybe 20 people, but everyone ordered individually, and they were able to bill us separately for each couple. The food that my wife and I ordered was delicious and reasonably priced. Prepared and presented well. The service was pretty good. The waitress was somewhat aloof, but she seemed to get everyone's orders correct. My big beef was with the music. It was loud and did not stop - a mix of American and Middle Eastern for the most part. Loud to the point that it was hard to talk to the people next to you or across the table. I was sitting next to another person in our party whom I did not know. But had to shout to communicate with him. Yes people were dancing and having fun, but there was no let up in the. music from 8 PM until we left around 10. I have been told that there is no or minimal entertainment during the week. I am not a fan of belly dancing, but the young woman who danced was both beautiful and extremely talented. One of the best i've seen. Got the audience involved. Parking in Queens...
