    We wanted a taste of New York! I got what I needed from that perfectly cooked slice of pizza. We ended up being their last customers for the evening and they still gave us great service. Good price on the food as well. The music was nice and low for you to be able to have a conversation. I know for a fact I'll back soon.

    Chicken Shawarma Salad
    Leslie R.

    I popped in for lunch and had the chicken shawarma salad. The portion was huge and it was delicious! I'd ask to omit the pickles in the future, but everything else was fantastic! There are tables, but it's a very casual restaurant, so I think it is better for takeout than staying to eat.

    Cool spot! I always wants to try the location in Portsmouth, but I never did even though I live in Portsmouth. I will now go in there when I'm craving this food. I'm also eager to try their pizza! I ordered the falafel pita, and was told I could get fries & a drink for the same price as just the pita. I was hesitant at first, because I'm trying not to eat fried foods, but the fries were SO GOOD. I'm glad I had them. I will definitely return here again, and I am eager to try their hummus!

    Best choice! Just here for a few days and found Five Boroughs. Thank you for your kindness in greeting me when I came to pick up my order and gifting me a bottle of water while I waited. This gave me a chance to watch the two chefs. One making delicious looking pies and the other working on wraps and pitas. My Falafel Combo was so amazing! It disappeared before my eyes and I couldn't take a photo. Topped it off with a lamb kebab which was flavorful and grilled just right! I can't wait to come back

    Falafel Pita Combo

    My friend and I stopped in for lunch last week, craving falafel and grape leaves. We were not disappointed! We will definitely be back. This is your new go-to spot for this type of comfort food. And the grape leaves were perfect. The price doesn't break the bank, the service is quick, professional, and kind. We truly appreciated this reliable local staple- Five Boroughs rocks!

    Lamb Shawarma Platter
    Farina C.

    Been reading the reviews and wanting to try them for years and we finally ordered here. Since everything is halal, we ordered the pepperoni pizza, lamb shawarma plate and baklava. I like the crust and the sauce on the pizza. Wish there's more pepperoni on it since it's rather on the 'thin' side but the 'large' pizza was really large and enough for at least 4 adults. The lamb shawarma was good although I thought they forgot the pita bread so I finished off the rice and lamb and only found the pita in the bag with the cutlery. The baklava for me was the best. Maybe I was bias because I've been craving for baklava since Ramadan or maybe they were they good. On the higher end since it cost $6 for 3 small pieces.

    Very very surprised that we enjoyed our food so much! This place is a definite hole in the wall that deserves more attention than it gets, and the reviews reflect how good the food is here. Got the chicken sandwich lunch combo for only $10, and I wasn't expecting to completely devour it like I did. The crispy fries were also super good! I rate it 8/10, I did ask for no condiments and my sandwich came out with both ketchup and mayo which is why I took off one star. My bf got the chicken gyro combo for $10 and he didn't say a word because he was busy chowing down. I tried a bite and next time I'm back I'll get that! 9/10 The dining room was very clean but boring, it can use some decorum and welcoming vibes! The cashier was super nice and helped us make up our minds on what to order because there's such a wide variety of types of foods; burgers, subs, pizza, gyro, shawarma, baklava, etc. We will be back! Overall a 9/10 experience :)

    Falafel pita
    Sam A.

    As an Egyptian-American who grew up in NYC, this cusine is my comfort food. Five boroughs has the best falafel in town, probably the best I've had since my mom's. Just like the original in Portsmouth, this location serves up excellent middle eastern street food. Definitely recommend you check them out!

    Wrap Shawarma (spicy lamb)
    Kaivalya D.

    This little restaurant is located in Ghent right off of Colley and I finally gave it a try the other day. I was really craving some shawarma and knew this place had good reviews so decided to try out a spicy lamb shawarma wrap. I didn't know that spicy was an option when I looked at the menu but the owner asked me if I wanted it spicy and I said sure! Not only was the wrap great but it was so well priced for its size! The lamb was also tender which I appreciated because I've been to several places where it's overdone/dry. The wrap had some sort of spicy sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles (first time having that in shawarma but it was a great add on) in it. I'm so glad I found a good shawarma place near by because I haven't seen many in Ghent. I wish I had tried this place sooner since it's so close to me and look forward to going back!

    Run of mill pizza by slice place nothing exceptional. For slices Del Vecchios down by ODU is a better bet.

    Just wasn't worth the money. The pizza wasn't very good. The place was dirty. Not a fan. Don't plan to return.

    The food here is good, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and well-lit…read more My husband and I stopped in to get a quick meal to-go. We were greeted by a helpful employee and the owner. They helped us decide what to order. We ordered the grilled chicken platter with a side of falafel. We made the mistake of not expressing that this meal was to-go. Another customer walked in after we ordered, placed his order (a wrap) and got his meal on a tray within 5 minutes. He ate in the restaurant and by the time he ate and left, our food still wasn't ready. It was only us and the customer that came in after us and ordered a wrap, so it wasn't busy. When we did get the food, it was tasty, hot, and tasted fresh. The food and the service was good, just express if you want to-go upfront and if you're eating in, prepare for the possibility of a wait. Update: We last went here a couple of months ago. We passed by on 6/22/25 and they are now permanently closed. Hate to see that! Hopefully they will be able to reopen at another location.

    I got Tasty Kebab for lunch. Its close to Lidl in the Janef Shopping Center. There was no one…read moreinside so i didn't have to wait. If you get a bowl its kinda Subway style so you just choose your toppings and you can watch it be made. The owner is really nice, she is always friendly when I come in. I got egg plant, cucumber, chicken , onions, sauces, and etc. At first I was disappointed at the amount of what she was scooping, but in the end it was a good amount and was filling. The bowl was tasty and I really enjoyed the eggplant. The garlic sauce and hummus was good as well. I'd definitely return. Check them out!!
