The chicken shawarma wrap and fries are where it's at. So delicious and generous portion. The fries are seasoned and so delicious The staff is so lovely! It's so cute inside. Small but so clean and decorated so thoughtfully. A few tables to eat in Lots of fun drinks including non alcoholic beer I recommend ordering the mains and then sides separately cuz the combos are mostly rice The bread is so soft and fresh They sell harissa hot honey and desserts We order from here regularly

The lentil soup and the cool mint lemonade is soooo good

The service is so great and the food is delicious. I ordered the chicken. The lentil soup is delicious

OMG delish! My brother told me they have the best falafel and he was right! I can't wait to try something else

My favorite soda

Went to this place after getting off the road all the way from Westchester with my elderly mother…read morebecause she wanted eggplant Parmesan and she had eaten from this place before when a relative was staying at a hospital rehabilitation center nearby and remembered the food being good, so we went to have some lunch. We were seated in the outdoor area, which is nice on a humid day as You can get a decent breeze. 99% of the people who were there were just enjoying their their food and socializing, We decided to sit at a table near a window for whatever reason there was a gentleman at this table who decided that it was okay for him to vape while he was sitting down instead of exiting the restaurant. Not only did he decide that it was okay to vape, he decided that it was okay to blow his vapors onto my mother's head and engulf us in his gaping experience. Instead of noticing (full time hostess in the immediate area), automatically reseating us, apologizing and telling the man that is NOT okay to vape in the restaurant I had to flag a server down and let them know that we wanted a different table. Pretty good service but I really thought that that was a gross oversight on part of the restaurant like indoor smoking is illegal in the first place and vaping really isn't any better (arguably worse depending on what scientific data you're looking at), plenty people have respiratory issues and just preference period. No one should be forced to sit anywhere where a no vaping policy isn't being enforced in 2026. Really disappointed that I can't give this place a higher than a three star rating as a result because the food is pretty good and the servers were quick and pleasant, but the smoking issue to me is a gross oversight as far as basic customer service goes. People shouldn't be made to feel like they're being weird for wanting a different table because they don't want to be surrounded by anything but oxygen, Do better folks. Tried to call and speak with a manager BEFORE leaving this review, was left on hold for close to 10 mins however manager was extremely apologetic and pretty appalled he personally stated that vaping IS against their policy and that the staff should have absolutely been enforcing that. Welp, that's what complaints are for right? Food is decent and staff is respectful but I don't know if I'd go back given that experience if I have alternative choices in the area just trying to enjoy some lunch, drama and discomfort is not necessary indoor vaping is outlawed for a reason people violating that shouldn't get to just go about their day with zero consequences while everyone else is annoyed or having their lung / cardiovascular health put at risk involuntarily. YMMV

We used them to cater my brother and sisters graduation party - ordering: - Heros - which is available in varying sizes and options. We went with the Italian and the Chicken Cutlet with Fresh Mozzarella - Mediterranean Salad - this pasta salad was very fresh it contained a melody of feta cheese, olives, peppers and spinach - Hot App - this was a variety of fried deliciousness - fried zucchini, fried, ravioli, fried mac and cheese, mozzarella sticks, garlic knots, prosciutto balls and rice balls (just to name a few) LTG also has daily lunch specials which vary from soups to wraps and everything in between for roughly $7.50. The cold cuts are always very fresh and thinly sliced as requested. One of my personal favorites is the Italian Eggroll - this is stuffed with chicken, rice, peppers and broccoli rabe while being deep fried to perfection - don't forget your side of balsamic glaze! Every time I go in I have been greeted with friendly customer service by the staff - Brittany is always willing to give great recommendations on the menu. If you are in the New Dorp area, give it a try. This has become a staple in our household.
