Great but absurdly pricey shawarma sandwiches. We had two pita sandwiches and a can of seltzer which came out $56.30. The sandwiches come with a small side salad. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich with everything. It was savory and well seasoned. Portion size was quite filling two. Meat was juicy with a plenty of crispy bits too. The salad bar had eight options. The salads were mostly on the salty and acidic side which balanced out the sandwich well. They have a sink to wash your hands but no bathroom. There were four small tables inside with two seats a piece. There were a few more tables outside. Most of the customers were taking out food. read more

The food from this establishment has consistently been amazing every time I've eaten from here. My office orders from here, and everyone loves it. We all look forward to eating our shawarma, grilled chicken, mixed vegetables, and rice platters. Everything is cooked perfectly and seasoned superbly. read more

I was here after a bar mitzvah in Cedarhurst...I'm not used to hanging out in Cedarhurst because I don't live around here. I will say this ...it's conveniant because like it's the last place that a huge ass shwarma was available on the way to jfk. It's also near a 711 so if you are buying a coffee and are like "shit I need shwarma " this could come in handy. Since my flight to Chicago was postponed from 9 pm till 12:03 AM that turkey shwarma the size of half my arm came in handy instead of buying a sandwhich at jfk for like $90.00 read more

Five in its category -- really tasty and fast Israeli/Mediterranean food. Went with my critical Israeli husband who loved it and said the food tasted exactly like food from Israel. I had the laffa with baby chicken shawarma and really enjoyed it. Would definitely be a regular customer if I lived in the area! read more

Ahuva's Grill Express - Laffa - delicious! - Kosher Near Me - Lawrence, New York

I came here to try Israeli food for the 1st time and I have to say it's not bad. I got the baby chicken shawarma sandwich which is a big serving. This sandwich also comes with a chickpea salad which I quite love. I don't imagine anyone eating the entire sandwich in one sitting. I had about 1/4 of mine along with the chickpea salad and I'm full. Will have the rest later for dinner I suppose. The service was great. My server was super NICE. I have no complaints to be honest. And I quite liked the sandwich read more

Big Phil, the Rabbi and I are walking the "it's never been this muddy" trails, in Rabbi's "natural preserve" which isn't exactly what I'd call it and I'm thinking the NY Parks Dept ain't calling it that either. Sadly, I'll review it -- oh, and by the way, the Rabbi isn't an ordained Rabbi. And Rabbi now wants to walk way the hell out of the way and totally away from where we live for Jewish-ish food, but it's hard to deny the 72 year old gung ho guy of our walk, eat and talk session. Rudeness factor in typical fashion is thru the roof to me, a non chosen one so Rabbi stepped in as I stepped out, as he sensed an epic tounge lashing and slashing was about to be unleashed - the ones I save for just such an occasion. Inside it's dark and doesn't look particularly clean, like an old sailors bar on a decrepit forgotten wharf somewhere. So we're at zero stars at this moment and I walk to the corner to sit and wait. The dish was lamb, can't quite quote it's name, but it was a well seasoned neat wedge, on the bone with a medium to medium rare cook temp. Along with the six or seven slivers was a creamy hummus and one of the freshest most wonderful side salads I've ever had in a take out establishment. Unfortunately the tin slipped out of my hand and went crashing down in Main Street because I'm the biggest clutz alive and am constantly dropping things, so the lamb didn't photograph well, so sorry bout that. read more

FYI - They accept the Foodie Card. The food is very good. Great for take-out. Centrally located in Lawrence.

Best schwarma in NY and the service was amazing as well I couldn't be happier with my experience there read more

Delicious food for eat in or take out. I especially enjoyed the salad bar which included fried onions, chick peas carrots, pickled radish, multiple types of cabbage salad, and hot peppers. Yemenite soup was outstanding. Moroccan cigars and shawarma were tasty. read more

the best food. everything was fresh and tasty. great customer service. highly recommended.

Promised the owner that I would leave a review if the food was good....guess what...it's good! First time for me and my wife so we ordered away...wanted to make sure I got a complete picture before I rendered a decision. My wife ordered the chicken shawarma sandwhich and I had the turkey shawarma platter. For apps we had the falafel balls with hummus and shawarma egg rolls. WE LOVED ALL OF IT!!!! I highly recommend this place and am glad I finally dropped in. I will be definately going again and again. On a final note, this is precisely the type of establishment you MUST support. The prices are great, the owner cares about the customer experience, the ingredients are fresh and delicious. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure establishments like this not just survive but THRIVE! Well done today guys....my wife and I enjoyed it big time. read more

Best Israeli style shwarma and felafels in the area - I have tried many other spots too but this one comes on top everytime.

This is a hidden gem of Five Towns. I mean it's not really hidden as it's on Lawrence Turnpike! It's right next to the 7/11 and it's easy to miss! Nice people and very friendly! The food is all fresh and the portions are large and supple. It's definitely designed for a large appetite so don't let the large prices scare you as you could turn it into two meals if you wanted. And make sure you order the Laffa, and not the falafel. Nothing wrong with the falafel but if you want a true middle eastern Israeli Jewish experience, order the Laffa. It's a delicious pita bread rolled into a burrito of awesomeness. Got the baby chicken and don't worry, it's not a baby chicken. I don't know why they call it that. It's delicious chicken. They should rename it! Anyways, hit this place up for a quick lunch break or even a nice dinner meal read more

Stopped in after seeing this place on Fios 1 channel the other day; had to try their falafel they made it look so good on the show !!! Two orders of the falafel we were four so we split them..... I don't know for us it didn't cut it !!!! The texture was great they were moist inside however the spices were very strong n over whelming n left an after taste in your mouth !!!! I guess we will stick to our Greek n Turkish restaurants for falafel from now on !!! Sorry guys !!! read more

The best falafel I ever had and the best chicken shwarma I had in a while. I had then put done fresh onion inside made it allot better kicked up the taste. Good spices and pretty good portion. My wife had the chicken shwarma platter audio good portion. And the gymnast wad on point.coming back and soon. The prices aren't low the only negative.but it's kosher do your paying for that. read more

Amazing place amazing food amazing falafel delicious Shawarma I love it love it love it

We ordered from here last night, honestly with low expectations, and I'm happy to say we were pleasantly surprised! The falafel appetizer came with 8 balls, which is a lot for an app, and they were crunchy on the outside, fluffy inside. The cigar appetizer was a little soggy, but that's to be expected with delivery in an enclosed container. The kofte kabab was delicious, and the white rice that comes with it is unexpectedly flavorful. Spicy fries were just the right amount of spice, and a very generous portion for the price. We also ordered a schnitzel laffa and schwarma eggrolls, but were too full to try them - they're our dinner tonight! We didn't get the Yemenite soup, but from past experience (at their since-closed other location) it's wonderful and something you must try. And if you order on Thursday, they also have cholent. It's the thick, rich stick-to-your-ribs Eastern European kind with meat and potatoes, but it has an additional kick of middle eastern seasoning - kabab spices, maybe cumin? And our order came with some chic pea salad and a corn salad, both of which were very good. I never go there because its location is inconvenient, but they deliver, and the order came quickly and accurately, and there's no delivery charge. Prices are quite reasonable: $19 for a generous dinner platter, $7 for the falafel app, $and $12 for the schnitzel sandwich (actually, $14, we sprung for the extra $2 to get it in laffa instead of pita). read more

Place is clean and workers were nice so that's a plus. I thought the food was mediocre at best. The shawarma was over cooked and on the dry side and it lacked proper seasoning as well. The laffa was ok but should've been warm not room temp. read more

Not only is the food great, the people they have working here are sweethearts. Kind, helpful and professional! Highly recommend checking it out when you're in need of a good meal or a friendly conversation read more

Went there today to get a falafel and Yemenite soup. The service was really bad, the cashier gave us such a negative attitude which made my friend and me to feel unwelcomed. The second issue was with a soup, which cost $10 for a small cup that was super salty with a huge chunk of potato. Falafel was pretty good. Souped is totally awful. read more

It was an excellent place for lunch. We got the delicious food very quickly and it was very tasty. The price was ok - it too much expensive. All the stuff keep COVID rules with masks and social distance Highly recommended!! read more

Great tasting falafel and shawarma. Parking lot exit not so good. Friendly food preparers. Prices a bit high but food is filling. Location on corner of Rockaway Trpk and Peninsula Blvd. I recommend it and will be back. read more

Pretty good food and decent prices. Went in on a business trip and seems to be a very popular falafel spot. Falafel was excellent and Ckocmen pretty good read more

I love their chicken schwarma sandwich and have gone multiple times back for it. Taking a few stars off because their customer service could be much better and I've noticed I've gotten charged different prices every time I'm there. Next time definitely keeping an eye on this. read more

This place was great when they opened and the owner was on site. Went tonight and it was terrible. Ask for well done and I got chicken shawarma that was still white with no caramelization at all. Then they open the pita half way in so they can put as little meat possible. Very disappointing experience. They use to carry a bigger variety of salad but now there is nothing there. read more

I placed an online order for sandwiches. They didn't follow instructions. Fries were missing, baba ganoush wasn't fresh, hardly and salad in sandwiches. Falafel was dried out. No tahini sauce so sandwiches were dry. This time the food was disappointing read more

I was so happy with the food here. The chicken was so tender and was unbelievable. The place is small and is a take out place. They have a few seats inside and a few outside. It is a must if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Love this place!!!!! Shawarma is always fresh, and so is the salad bar. The pittas never break while you bite into them. Hence no shawarma on your lap or shirt for that matter, The service is quick, and I like that they take phone orders. read more

The space is small, but the food is really good. The shawarma is delicious, felafel is good, everything is fresh and tasty. I love the salad bar. The menu is limited, but they do it well! And sometimes they have cholent on Thursdays. read more

Tried this place for the first time a few days ago. Restaurant is clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. This is the 'express' location, so the menu is more limited than the full restaurant in Hewlett. I ordered the falafel with tahini sauce and the hummus / shawarma combo. Everything was delicious. I like the 'free' salad you get with an entree. There are several types of salad available on the salad bar... the purple cabbage salad and the cucumbers are my faves. My only complaints are the limited parking, and they don't carry the stuffed grape leaves entree because it's the express location. Recommended, and will return here. read more

I work down the block and I was craving gyros one day unfortunately there's no gyro spots in the area so I walked into this place. It's a glatt kosher place so I was skeptical to try it out. Being they are glatt kosher they don't have gyros but what's the next best thing? Shwarma! Their Shwarma is delicious here. I got the chicken Shwarma with white rice (double portion) I didn't want the vegetable soup. And it's a huge portion I was able to save half for lunch the next day as well. Although it's pricey it is definitely worth it. I had gotten the chilli sauce to go along with it. And that sauce is amazing I mixed it in with the rice it was great. Ohh and I had ordered a felafle appetizer....THE BEST FELAFLE I've ever had it was amazing!!!! This place has changed my mind about kosher food and I'll definitely be coming back read more

If you aren't Jewish, you will be looked at different being that this place is kosher. I love dealing with the Spanish worker behind the counter rather than the big Jewish guy. Food is okay, a bit more towards the expensive side. Salad bar is the best thing about this place. Falafels are a bit dried. read more

Food amazing but service sucks! but they have a great bar and I highly recommend there shawarma and schnitzel, but sometime you lose an appetite when service is so terrible. read more

Best shawarma on this side of the Atlantic. Consistent taste every time. Also, ask For the amba as someone else mentioned. read more

Love the shawarma here! All varieties are so tasty. If you keep kosher, this is the place to go. It's so delicious! I wish they had actual tables to sit at, instead of a counter. If you don't mind the casual setting, this is your place. Great salads at the salad bar too. The guy behind the register is so friendly and helpful. Ask for amba as a condiment!!! read more

Great shawarma, falafel is good and fresh, always quick and efficient the shawarma and salads taste better than israel!!!

This small shawarma spot is a gem!!! We had the chicken shawarma with all the fixings: homemade hummus, white sauce, Israeli salad etc. Served with a small plate of help-your-self from the salad bar, this sandwich was HUGE so my friend and I split it!! DELICIOUS and succulently seasoned! We had it on a laffa and it was juicy, messy and hit the spot! We tried a little bit of the schug which the counter guy appropriately described as "atomic hot sauce." YIKES!!!!!The young man behind the counter was so friendly and told us how Ahuva's Grill Express and their sister restaurant on Mill Rd and Peninsula Blvd, Ahuva's Grill, make everything from scratch. He was very proud of their hard work to produce the best shawarma possible. I'm not Jewish, but love Middle Eastern food and learning about the culture; and this guy was so generous and knowledgable. Great experience! Definitely my go to place for quality (GLATT KOSHER), delicious food and friendly staff!!!! read more
