My friends and I stopped here and LOVED everything we ate. We ordered the Hanna's sampler, falafel, moussaka and knafeh. Also our server was delightful. read more

Hannah's is a consistently good restaurant and very reasonably priced. We've come here for years and never been disappointed.

Delicious every time we ho there .staff are very sweet and helpful with the menu. And food always comes out hot . And pita bread is outstanding read more

Best lamb kebob around. This restaurant has exceptional service with a cozy feel. Servers give great recommendations for wine pairings & salad parings with entrees. The lamb is melt in your mouth delicious and cooked to the desired temperature perfectly. Definitely will recommend to friends from all over. Make this a stop in your travels! read more

Hanna's is great! We had falafal with tahini sauce for an appetizer. It was recommended by Lena our waitress. It was very good. I had vegetarian mousakka which was also very good. They also sell the mousakka at the market next door as well as their hummus and baba ganoush. Once you have eaten these you will not go back to store bought. Great staff and great food. read more

Best restaurant in Danbury by far, clearly that's opinion but welcome to Yelp. Food is amazing, fresh, freshly prepared. Stuffed squash is my favorite, Kibbie is a close second. Baba is fresh and the flavor just explodes on your taste buds. The salad dressing is fresh and is exceptional. The food overall is very true to the Med basin, I've not found a meal that I will not try again just like some better than others. Some rank a bit on the pitas, they are from Danbury's own Arabic Bakery, they are fresh by the day, if they are a bit chewy to your liking its because there is no preservatives in them, have the server pop them back in the oven for a few minutes. Problem solved, no worries. Despite the food the best is the family that runs the shop and restaurant, they are among the warmest most attentive you will ever find. They are the reason Hanna's is a Danbury institution. read more

My wife and I were both blown away by the amazing food at Hanna's. We had recently relocated from the Chicago area and were lamenting the lack of high-quality Middle Eastern food when someone recommended we try out Hanna's, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The food is both delicious and moderately priced! The Baba Ghanous was the best I have ever had, and the pita bread is light and very tasty. Make sure you leave room for the baklava or one of their other excellent deserts. We'll be making regular trips to this wonderful restaurant now that we have discovered it. read more

We visited Hanna's on a spur of the moment decision during a road trip, and wow, what an excellent dining experience! We got the mezze platter for lunch and were very happy with the high quality of the dishes and generous portions provided. We were also big fans of the Turkish coffee and baklava. The service was top notch as well. It felt like we had stepped into the home of a family friend! read more

You would miss this place driving past it, but the food is amazing and priced appropriately. Definitely a regular now.

Incredible hidden gem in Danbury. The food and service were excellent. Even my kids were impressed. My five-year-old said they made her favorite rice ever! We devoured everything. A truly special and delicious find. read more

If you're looking for the best service and best food, then this is the restaurant you have to go to. I had the Baba Ghannouj - best I ever had - and vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves for lunch. Bost very delicious. Every was super happy with the food and the service. Fantastic vegan options. Nad better yet: you can buy some of it in the store next door. read more

I Love Hannah's. The owners are friendly. Food is always fresh and tastes great. Give them a try. Eat in or takeout. You won't be disappointed. So glad they aren't moving or closing. read more

Hostess opened the Restaurant early for us for lunch ! Lovely interior! All that we ordered was delicious . After lunch we visited their grocery store next door and took home Halawah and other delicacies! read more

Superb middle eastern mezze items. Friendly service. Prices reasonable. What more could we ask for.

It was worth the ride from Clifton NJ to be wined and dined by the beautiful Maja. Mr Hannah prepared the most delicious Middle Eastern food I've ever enjoyed. We must have tried almost everything on the menu and one delicacy was better than the next. The ambiance is charming and the food is unrivaled The attached grocery store, where I purchased a stash for my freezer is an added perk. It was a delightful afternoon read more

Passing through Danbury on the way to New Hampshire, we stopped at Hanna's for dinner. Service was good as there were only 3 parties in the restaurant. We both ordered the lamb souvlaki platter. The food was adequate. The tzatziki was great and a good counter to the salty lamb. Pita served as an appetizer before the meal was not toasted, but the pita served with the souvlaki was good. read more

Amazing authentic Mediterranean/middle eastern food. Coming from an Arab who knows authenticity. Would definitely come back a million times over. Great service. read more

If you want quality middle eastern food, go here and order a lot for leftovers. Pumpkin kibble was a real surprise find and great for vegetarians! read more

We hadn't been to Hanna's in about 20 years, and were pleased at the improved ambiance. Unfortunately, we arrived happier than we left. For starters, the pita was pretty dreadful, tasting as though it were dumped directly out of a large plastic bag. It was thin and tasteless. The lamb and rice stuffed grape leaves were quite nice, but moussaka showed no evidence of layering, but was piled in an oily mound on the plate. It was gently but nicely seasoned, but served a little too tepid for my taste. I know excess oil is common for this type of food, but I was still sorry to see it, and would not have ordered the dish if I knew what I'd receive. The moujadara was very good, and we located some recipes online so we could make it at home. I was so looking forward to my favorite Middle Eastern dessert, knafeh, but they were out of it. I was so disappointed! Only three desserts on the menu--you'd think they would all be available. So, we just had coffee. I asked our waitress for a refill, and was stunned to find that we were charged for an additional cup. However, we had really decided to come to Hanna's because they carry Haloumi cheese in the attached store at a reasonable price, and fortunately that was available, so all was not lost. But given that this was a birthday lunch (mentioned in passing to the waitress, just out of curiosity to see what would happen), we would have been better off going elsewhere. I am surprised at all the ecstatic reviews, so maybe we came at a bad time. Our waitress was new and inexperienced, which may account for the charge for the coffee, but that's really no excuse. We didn't challenge it, and it was only an extra $2, but it sealed our decision not to come back and try some of the other dishes. read more

Hannah's has been a Middle Eastern staple for the area for the past 30 years. It's a family run business and they do their best to make all their guests feel welcome. You can always count on getting an authentic delicious meal at this restaurant. read more

I went to Hanna's for the first time today. I had the baked kibbe. Full of flavor, I loved the spices in it. For dessert I had mamool with pistachio and one with dates also baklava and a Turkish coffee. All of the desserts were very good, but the baklava was great, it has a rose water flavor that you don't get at most restaurants. Our server was Michael and he was very friendly. I'll definitely be back. read more

Hanna's Middle Eastern Restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

See all

The food wasn't fresh at all. The grape leaves and hummus were from a can. The falafel was from a box. The food was tasteless. So disappointing. read more

Yesterday, I went to Hanna's, the person who helped me was very friendly. I ordered the chicken Kabobs. It was delicious. It was juicy and tender. I also order the stuffed grape leaves with meat stuffing. It was good, but I've had better. I will be back to try other foods that are offered there. It's a great place to try. read more

Good food but very poor attitudes. Every time I go in here the guys who wait on me are very unfriendly. Almost like they are doing you a favor when in actuality you are supporting their business. Put a smile on your face and greet your customers the correct way! I've spoken to multiple people who live around Hanna's and they all agree that ownership is not great to deal with but the food is good. read more

The food was excellent and the owners were friendly. We ordered the hummus appetizer, a chicken gyro plate and falafel sandwich, 2 desserts, and a bottle of wine and everything was delicious and very fairly priced. Highly recommend! read more

Hanna's food is amazing! I've been a customer for 25yrs plus. So glad to see John is back! The staff and owner go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your meal. Prices are reasonable and the food selection is not only delicious but it's extensive. If you are looking for the most authentic Lebanese food in Fairfield County, this is the place to come!! Check it out for yourself, I promise you won't be disappointed- you can try the rest but I promise you will come back to the best!!! read more

Best Food. Authentic and the owner is a wonderful person. They are not moving from their Lake Avenue Danbury location. That is false information for anyone that has been misinformed. read more

I ran into this Lebanese restaurant and Market today (Hanna's of Danbury). I had their daily special (Sheikh el Mehshi). It was better than my mother's!!! There are many good dishes on the menu. I am coming back for sure. read more

Omg. Had dinner there last night with friends. This place is a Gem in Danbury. The staff makes you feel like family. The food is amazing. Portions very generous. i got the Hanna combo. had the rest for lunch the next day. Just as good. I highly recommend this place. When John pokes his head in to say hello. The conversation with him is always inviting read more

I was shocked to get hummus this good in Danbury--and in a place so unassuming at that. I thoroughly enjoyed the fallafal and tabouleh, too. One of the many delightful surprises that Danbury has to offer. If you are looking for humble but delicious Middle Eastern food to take home, back to work, or with you for a picnic, you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is so authentic and amazing, you walk in to an atmosphere where you feel like you're in a traditional Lebanese restaurant, but that's because you are. The food is beyond delicious and the proportions are worth your money. The service is kind and attentive, they really make you feel like they want you to have the best experience with them, and you will. Come here for the authentic Lebanese epicurean experience of a lifetime!! read more

Watch out for the credit card surcharge on the bill. When I complained about it, I was referred to a small sign on the door, mixed in with 5 other decal type notices. If you are going to surcharge, it need to be noted when you get your bill. I hope the $ 1.18 he got out of us was worth it. read more

I've gotten takeout and groceries from the deli over the years. It is a local gem for Middle Eastern staples: baba ganoush, hommous, tabbouleh, falafel, Syrian string cheese, wonderful pita, kibbeh. Owners and management are genuine, caring and love what they do. read more

Okay let's just start with this was fantastic from the Spinach pies and cheese and olives were great. The moussaka and the chicken was the best the side of tabouli went perfectly. We will Definitely be back and try the rest of the menu read more

Stopped here on while in town for take out. It was hands down the BEST Mediterranean I've had here in CT. The tabouli was the freshest and best tasting. Amazing you won't go wrong. read more

Food was awesome! Had baked kibbee witj rice. Just wonderful. Other person had kibbee platter with hummus and tabouli- both you could tell fresh made . Service so quick too. Will most definitely come here again! read more

The ghost of my dear Sittoo (grandmother) must have settled in at Hanna's restaurant. :) The flavor, texture, and superb quality of Hanna's dishes are nearly indistinguishable from those created at the hands of my Syrian-born grandmother. The food is *that* good! The stuffed grape leaves are tender and delicate. They are available with or without meat. The fatayer dough in which the meat pies and spinach pies are wrapped is light as a feather. The tabbouli is fresh and perfectly prepared with the proper balance of ingredients. Every dish is delectably seasoned. There are plenty of options for Vegans/Vegetarians. Only the highest quality ingredients are used, many imported from the Middle East. The tahini at Hanna's - available for purchase in the deli - is smooth and subtle, without the "bite" which is present in most other tahinis. The fine quality tahini contributes to Hanna's outstanding hommous and baba ghannouj. I can easily prepare my grandmother's hommous and baba gannouj recipes at home, but Hanna's versions are nearly identical - often better! - So I don't bother and just buy them there. You can purchase ingredients and prepared dishes in the deli next to the restaurant. Be sure to try some homemade baklewa! read more

My kid wants to give Hanna's 6 stars. My other kid says give 10 stars. And I have to agree, we had a very pleasant lunch and the Gyro platter was a hit with the kiddos. Michael was super friendly and if we are ever back in Danbury we'll come enjoy some good food again. read more

Although we have gotten takeout from here a couple of times, last week was the first time my husband and I dined there. It was charming and old fashioned (no TV or other loud noise). The server was so warm and welcoming. We appreciated that there were so many vegetarian items on the menu. I enjoyed everything we tried; my favorite was the tabbouleh. read more

Hanna's is worth a visit if your in the area and a fan of mideastern food. I was surprised it had limited reviews as it is Zagat rated. I was in the area and the rating caught my eye. Not much else about Hanna's would. Its unobtrusively located in a small strip mall and inside, nothing is exotic or fancy. The important things, food and service,are great. Our waitress was covering eight tables and had no problem keeping all of the balls in the air, as well as being pleasant and helpful. The food was not fancy but was good down home mideastern cuisine. My wife, no fan of fava beans was mopping up the ful with her pita, The lamb stuffed grapeleaves were good and the baba ganoush had an excellent smokey flavor from the roasted eggplant. My only gripe about the menu is that raw kibbeh has to be ordered in advance for larger groups... guess that there aren't a lot of raw lamb fans in Danbury. The wine list is small but reasonable and includes several good Lebaneese wines of good value. Worth a visit. read more
