The food is absolutely delicious. The price is a bit expensive but the size of the meal makes up for it. You can easily feed 2 with one meal. This is true authentic shawarma read more

Yum. Flavors feel so on point. I love to get the turkey and lamb mix bowl. Pricey, but this comfortably lasts me two whole meals. Also, the laffa pita they give on the side is amazing. Service is fast! Ambiance is no frills, but very clean. read more

One of my friends swears by this place so I was very excited to try it out. After looking at the menu, you order by the side desk and then they will call your number to build your shawarma, sandwich, etc. When we went on a weekday night, there was quite a bit of people which I was very surprised about. I ordered a lamb + turkey laffa with every topping. I was surprised at how big the laffa was as it could've lasted me 2 meals. I appreciate the pickles as they were able to cut through the meaty and saucy-ness of the dish. I felt like the rest of the meats and toppings were pretty basic. I will say that because it is Kosher, the price is quite high - $22 per laffa - and if you don't eat Kosher normally not sure if it is super worth it. Overall, not a bad eat on UES but unfortunately because of the price, I'm not sure if I will be back. read more

Grill Point - Shawarma Lamb & Turkey - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

I love schwarma and this was the worst I have ever had. The only positive was that they gave me so little meat I didn't have to eat it. The fries were soggy and when I complained they didn't even offer an apology. read more

I wanted to try a sabich sandwich and learned about Grill Point after doing an on-line search. It was merely a short walk away from my office on the UES. I got there and the staff went out of their way to humiliate me, playing dumb when I asked about sabich (which was on the menu), mocking me when I asked if I could try the Yemenite soup, after asking what was in it and they again played dumb. They acted as if they were trying out for a lead in a MEAN GIRLS revival and I felt like I was being chosen last for basketball in gym. I ended up gettng a sabich. It was mediocre, bland, and tasteless, but inoffensive. Unlike the staff. The food is overpriced for the offerings, but in the median range for a kosher cafe. I have no intention of going back or telling friends that this is a worthwhile place to eat. read more

Simply outstanding. Delicious chicken shawarma, layered on top of a bowl of fresh, vibrant salads and spreads. Fresh laffa and pita. Portions large enough for two. Friendly and helpful manager and staff. Just delectable! read more

Hot off the grill shawarma with 5 toppings all rolled into a large bread or pita. The food is fresh, well seasoned, and portions are huge! The Ladd sandwich with French fries could definitely be shared. There is a little hut ( enclosed"outdoor seating") on the sidewalk if you're eating there. read more

Many have discovered this gem before me, but it's still worth mentioning. We thoroughly enjoyed each item we ordered. Their food has such balanced taste that each bite surprises you. The staff demonstrated respect while staying alert to requirements. I'll be back as soon as I'm in this part of town. read more

The food here exceeds what you expect from a local restaurant. The kitchen and staff performed excellently with no complaints possible. I intend to visit this restaurant frequently. Their food represents creative culinary thinking. I find this place exceptional in every way. read more

High prices but excellent and huge portions. Great for takeout, not ideal for eating there. One laffa is 2 days worth of food for me.

Grill Point is so delicious! I am sad I have not come here sooner, but happy to have found my new go to lunch/dinner place. Don't sleep on Grill Point- they're my new FAVORITE middle eastern restaurant in Manhattan! You choose your protein (lots of options for vegetarians and meat lovers!) then choose if you want a sandwich (pita or laffa) or as a bowl. Bowls can have a base of salad, rice, cous cous etc., The green falafels smelled amazing so I chose the falafel bowl. My friend had the young chicken shawarma , she said she doesnt even like shawarma but loved theirs after trying it off of her husband's plate. While your protein cooks, you choose your salads, The vegetables are also SO fresh and very well seasoned. There is no limit on how many you choose and no extra charge- so try them all! My favorites: fried eggplant, cabbage, beets and the Israeli salad! Bowls come with a fresh warm bread- choose between homemade laffa bread or pita. The falafels are very good, with a perfect garlicy flavor. It was a huge portion and I will definitely be back for more. They have a cooler with drinks to choose from, water, soda, juice and tea. I appreciated that they had peach snapple both diet and regular. While there are only two counter tops for bar seating inside, they also have an outdoor cabin and additional tables out front for outdoor dining. I will be back to try the chicken and laffa! I will say I had enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow and the flavors taste just as delicious cold as they so warm and fresh! Every bite was better than the next, my actual question is where are they sourcing their produce? Seriously the freshest sweetest tomatoes and onions I've had in a loong time. Really kind customer service, the owner Albert came by to check to see how everything was! When he thought I hadn't been given bread, he rushed to grab me some so quickly I barely had time to tell him that I has wolfed it down warm! Will be a struggle not to come back tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday - can already tell this falafel bowl is about to become an addiction. read more

The menu here changed my mind about this type of food. The service people were nice and helpful in tidy surroundings. The employees delivered remarkable care. Grill Point creates a complete experience. All aspects work perfectly. read more

Considering the neighborhood it's surprising that the flavors are pretty solid. Definitely better taste than other options for shawarma for the area. However be forewarned that it is kosher which unfortunately means 4-5 times the price of non kosher competitors so that part is really annoying, but at least the quality of the food delivers. It's so expensive that I will often go to queens or travel much farther to get more value. Nevertheless their amba is legit, the schug is made fresh and has the right balance of heat and seasoning, all the salads are solid, the pita is nice and fluffy and the shawarma itself is respectable and closer to the real stuff unlike other places that are giving you the based on the idea version of shawarma that is essentially a chicken wrap with turmeric. As much as I wanted to be in my feelings about the blatant Kosher Tax .. they make pretty good food overall. read more

Grill Point on Lexington is very new. I went in to check it out one day when I saw someone sitting in the window. It turns out she was the receptionist and she immediately got up to greet me. I told her I wanted to photograph and check out the menu and she was receptive. This place has everything modern and sanitary. There's a unisex restroom and modern check out registers. You can sit at the windows on a stool or dine in the outdoor enclosed shed on the street. I found the menu moderately priced. There's plenty of variety and they are family conscious offering a kids menu. I thought the kids menu was pricey. The food is fresh and the cooks hard at work. They're not busy in the morning during the week. While I'm not familiar with many of the food items I intend to return to experiment. Until then I'll stick with the Avocado Smash and side salad. read more

Had a bowl with schnitzel and some really delicious sides - like hummus, grilled vegetables, israeli salad. I was pretty impressed. only thing i didn't live was the laffa, which seemed kind of bland. I'd go back if i was in the mood for shawarma. probably wouldn't get the schnitzel again. read more

Grill Point - schnitzel - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

Kosher but very expensive middle eastern / Mediterranean restaurant. You can find a very nice Shawarma place in midtown for half the price. Service is decent but employees won't allow me to get extra pickles/ salad in my Shawarma laffa. French fries are mid; not out of the fryer... I would stay away from this place. Try other meat alternatives. Good luck! read more

Food is very high quality. Staff is very friendly. Service was excellent. Prices are good. Very good place to come eat

Delicious! So much fun to eat at and the staff members are the sweetest! The chicken was crispy and the pita was warm and fully! Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

I have never had such a delicious shawarma before... Grill Point on Lexington has an amazing Mediterranean Israely food. I truly felt like being teleported to "Shook Hatikvvah" The food here is amazing. Every Pita is loaded, generous portions, great ingredients, fresh, delicious. Couldn't have enough of it. Totally and whole heartedly recommend read more

So funny story... I was on my way to college and a random man on the street gave me a menu for this place. A new Middle Eastern and Kosher restaurant close to my college? Was intrigued and had to check it out. So glad that I did. Overall, I was impressed! The restaurant is set up like this. You order your food at the counter and hand them your ticket afterwards. (Though, I was not aware of this until after I waited a while for my order. Service could be improved). Then you can request as many toppings as you'd like in your meal. There's some seating inside, but there's nicely decorated outdoor seating as well. They also have a kids menu. Something for everyone! Feeling hungry for lunch, I ordered myself a Chicken Shawarma with laffa bread and requested hummus, tahini, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers to be added inside. The shawarma was so delicious!! Hands down, one of the best I've ever had in NYC. The meat was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and all of the ingredients went so well together. Everything was served warm and tasted freshly made. Now I'm craving some more laffa bread! The price was a bit high, though the huge portion made up for it. I also ordered an Israeli salad on the side, which complemented the food well. Awesome addition to the Upper East Side and I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu. Thank you to the random man who gave me this menu :D read more

REAL SHAWERMA. shaved off the spit. Flavors are good, the meat is juicy, the toppings are decent. Most people can stop reading right here. It's not cheap, but each item could probably feed 2 people if you're getting a laffa wrap. Service is stupid. The cashier gives you a ticket when you pay, then have you give the ticket to the guy preparing your food so he can figure out how you want it prepared. He's 1 foot away from cashier who gave you the ticket, and if you're a short person, you'll have to figure out how to attract their attention by reaching over the glass counter. If you got a pita, they might pile all the non meat toppings UNDER the meat so you get a soggy mess of condiments under the meat with no even distribution. Solve this by spending even more on the Laffa wrap or bowl. read more

Grill Point - Chicken shawerma - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

$18 for a pita with chicken on it. Time to leave New York. First of all some of these reviews have to be fake. Best shawarma in the USA? Not even close. Food is alright but the prices are insane and the setup is ridiculous. $18 for chicken on a pita. $26.50 for a rice bowl with some meat and toppings. Falafel is around $15-16. Before Covid I used to pay $5 for falafel downtown and $12 for shawarma in midtown. $18 is f***ing insane. After you order it's total chaos. You have to loiter around waiting for them to call your number, then you have to tell them what you want on the sandwich. Can't you just standardize the toppings then ask if we want tahini or hummus or hot peppers like every other place in New York? Overall the food is tasty and fresh, but it's lacking some middle eastern spices and salt. read more

Been coming here for months now and now they are being difficult about fries. You place is already expensive and you now want to tell me because I got something to-go I can't have fries, that I have to stay and eat there. Worst part is even after I said I can eat there you tried to charge me. I've prob spend $500 here this year and this the first time I have had problems. Poor customer service. Won't be coming back after this experience. The girls there on their cell phone the whole time like they didn't even care come here if you feel like dealing with this kind of people. read more

Food is tasty. All items were fresh and had good flavor. Presentation was A1. The workers were nice enough and the place was clean. It's a bit pricey but sometimes quality costs, right? read more

I've ordered a few times through Uber and so far haven't been disappointed. Yes, it's pricey. However, the generous portion you're given and quality ingredients your meal is prepared with justify it. Choose your protein and make it a bowl or wrap with several toppings/sides to add into! Their shawarma is flavorful and not drenched in oils. Their laffa and pita is fresh and simply the best! I've tried their Yemenite soup which was good as well, but would recommend if delivery is nearby or you're dining in to ensure it's the right temperature. read more

Fabulous, delicious! We took home a few salads and the falafel hummus and constructed it for breakfast at home. I can only speak for the vegetarian dishes, all were made with love. I will absolutely be returning! read more

SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Best shwarma laffa ever. Rivals what you would get in Israel. And the guys behind the counter are so friendly. Get whatever you want (or will fit) in your laffa/bowl/pita. Love how they don't nickel and dime you for each topping, spread, or sauce. This is place is my new favorite shwarma spot in NYC. Good for kosher keepers and non-Jews alike. Just a great overall spot. read more

Delicious food clean and great variety of add-ons to the Shawarma. Just like in Israel. Would definitely come back!!

The place's name is confusing but this is spicy Kosher food, well served. A good sized bowl.

This is not the first time Grill Point didn't deliver. Their app says 3 minutes away, 2 minutes away, 1 minute away, back to 3 minutes away, etc. When it says they finally delivered; they didn't. I live in a big building on Park Avenue with a doorman. The doorman says they did not deliver. I call Grill Point and I am told ' I am sorry. There is nothing I can do. We'll give you a refund. I don't want the refund I want my dinner. I am starving. Sorry all we can do is give you a refund. As much as I like their food I cannot order from them any longer since they don't deliver & didn't even attempt to make up for it and rush a replacement order. Very bad business practice. read more
