Karam Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

I went in and ordered based on recommendations of a coworker. I ordered four lamb gyro sandwiches, a rotisserie chicken, and then an additional two chicken gyros. Total cost was 92$. The man that took my order seemed like he was disinterested and snotty by his demeanor but I dismissed his behavior. The lamb gyro sandwiches were finished first and I asked him to give then to me. He was hesitant and seemed upset at my request but I was insistent. I took them out to the car and we started to eat and realized that the meat was not lamb and the texture was like wet paper. The meat tasted like some type of strange animal. It was disgusting. I went back inside and asked the man what was it he served us. He said beef and lamb. I told him that I asked for lamb. Another obnoxious man with a round fat face came from behind the counter and told me “look at the menu, we only serve beef and lamb.” I replied that the person in the car does not eat beef and I ordered only lamb. Then the other man who took my order said “Sorry, with a devious look on his face. My order was a total of 92$. I simply left with the remainder of the order which was the two chicken gyro sandwiches. We threw all the food in the garbage. It smelled sour and was not edible. I would never step foot in that place again or recommend...

Makanek sandwich's sausages are delicious and really well seasoned. Has typical Mediterranean veggies but the sour cream and pickled radish (?) adds a really nice balance in terms in sour and acidity (which differentiates it from just another typical gyro).

Lahmajeen pie is like a mini pizza, has a crispy crust and dough texture is soft like mochi, but not as chewy. I wouldn't recommend this pie as the overall taste was lacking for me—maybe try it with a different topping.

The sweet cheese was surprisingly delicious. I'm used to cheese tasting salty but this cheese is actually sweet and not pungent at all. Biting into it you will taste hints of tea but it's not bitter or overpowering at all. Texture wise it's gently firm on the outside and a melty, soft on the inside. If you like tea, milk tea, or fluffy cheese I would recommend giving it a try!

Cinnamon pudding is unique, has the texture of Japanese konjac jelly. It is topped with shredded coconut, pistachio, dates, and raisins which pair well with the pudding. This pudding is actually somewhat refreshing, I could see it being enjoyed as a chilled dessert in the summer.

Not much seating available, 1 small table, 3 medium tables, 1 large table. Staff was...

Cannot recommend this place nearly enough! It’s a hole in the wall that’s been at the top of the Lebanese list of best flavors since forever, with the most delicious sandwiches and plates that you can either enjoy in their tiny dining spot or order for takeout. But what was even more impressive was their catering service that I tried for the first time earlier this month. Outstanding on all fronts, from the seamless menu building and pricing with Shawki, to the spotless delivery and beautiful buffet of authentic cold and hot mezze staples along with the warming mains that they set up themselves, to the generosity and quality of the dishes! On top of the perfectly seasoned hummus babaghannouj tabbouleh fattouch and cheese rekakat, crowd favorites were the vegan eggplant toasted nuts makloubeh rice, and the chicken taouk skewers for the meat eaters. Their gigantic servings of fresh fruit salad and sweet cheese dessert (halewet el jebn) were perfection!! We had so much food, every guest left with full bellies carrying out their own leftover platters!...
