Toum-driven Lebanese shawarma and mezze that stay punchy in takeout.

Notable Picks

8.4
$$ Jackson Heights
A Lebanese counter spot that wins on garlic-forward shawarma, crisp falafel, and the kind of sauces that make takeout taste complete even 20 minutes later. Order it as a build-your-own mezze spread—one sandwich, one plate, and two dips—so you get texture (crunch), heat, and that signature toum punch in every bite.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken shawarma wrap with toum, Falafel plate with tahini, Hummus + baba ghanoush with warm pita
What makes it special: Toum-driven Lebanese shawarma and mezze that stay punchy in takeout.

Worthy Picks

Must-Try Dishes: Chicken shawarma platter, Lamb kebab over rice, Falafel sandwich with tahini
