Authentic Palestinian flavors in the heart of Bay Ridge!

Finally, a spot in Bay Ridge that truly captures the taste and warmth of Palestinian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh shawarma and baked manouche sets the tone. The falafel is crisp on the outside and soft inside — perfectly seasoned and not greasy. The chicken shawarma is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, especially with their creamy garlic sauce.

The manouche was a pleasant surprise — light, fluffy, and baked fresh with za’atar and olive oil just like back home. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Service was friendly, portions generous, and prices fair.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with family, this new Palestinian restaurant is a must-try. A beautiful addition to Bay Ridge’s food scene — I’ll definitely be...
