This place is THE best middle-eastern restaurant in NY, hands down. I have brought Arabs and Israelis there who are blown away by its authenticity.
EVERYTHING is top notch. The meat dishes are my favorite. Try the kafta w/ baba, or chicken and hummus, crispy shawarma , or lamb kabob. The falafel is also incredible, but that's a given.
Though crowded, it's well worth the wait (especially after a couple of drinks!).
Pros: shawarma, kafta, falafel
Cons: crowds, size
