Baraka — Restaurant in Las Terrenas

Baraka is a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic, flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine. Their falafels are hands-down the best I’ve tried on the island, crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced, and so tender on the inside. They’ve truly perfected the art of falafel, making it a memorable experience for anyone who appreciates this staple dish.

The schnitzel here is also a standout. It’s crispy yet tender, with a flavor that feels both comforting and sophisticated. It’s clear that quality ingredients and attention to detail go into every dish, which elevates the entire meal.

And, of course, the hummus is simply fantastic. It’s fresh, creamy, and perfectly balanced, providing the ideal accompaniment to their other dishes. You can tell they take pride in their preparation, as each element feels homemade and full of love.

With such delicious food and a warm, inviting atmosphere, Baraka has quickly become one of my favorite dining spots. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a true taste of Middle Eastern flavors...

This brand new restaurant owned and run by husband and wife team, is a gem. It is by far the best middle eastern food in Terrenas -and it's affordable! They make everything from scratch (including hummus and pita bread, salad, pickled vegetables, everything).

If you want authentic flavors, this is the place to go. We are "demanding" New Yorkers in terms of food. We have been visiting Terrenas since 2010 and living here for the past 3 years. Baraka is offering high quality culinary variety to Terrenas. Please try it, I can guarantee you will love it.

Disclosure: We are in no way related or payed for this review. We are genuinely delighted with this place. It has a small store front with a few tables inside and outside of Plaza Paseo (in front of the cemetery). Check it out!

Honesty said I never find it worth it to recommend a place until I went to Baraka. They opened about a week ago and I have been three times so far to try as many of their dishes as I can. Simple, honest and clean food but due to the flavors and fresh ingredients, your tastebuds are in for a real treat. The balance of each little dish is great and I can highly recommend to try their dishes. The families that own and run the place are friendly, warm, welcoming and are enthusiastic about what they are doing. The passion and excitement they transmit is the extra Ingredient that leaves your tastebuds wanting to come back for more. And don’t forget to ask for the special secret mango/curry sauce….. keep it up guys. I would love to witness your...
