It was good but feel Shawarma usually is more smaller slices with more flavor? Bigger slices here. Lamb Shawarma Platter with Batata Harra - pretty good, wish the Batata Harra is crispier. Chicken Pita extra crispy - it was good but didn't feel like it's Shawarma.
This is an interesting little spot serving Lebanese-inspired dishes. We were here out of hap and circumstance as our group was planning on going back to the nearby fancier Nudibranch, but they were apparently having an event that night. In terms of the spot, they were doing pretty poorly, but got popular more recently thanks to IG due to their Crunchwrap and Knefe Pancake, which I'm happy about, as the food was pricey but tasty. Anyway, besides their fame, the owner is friendly, and it's casual inside. As I was in the mood for something more filling, I ordered one of their platters, which comes with either rice or potatoes along with your choice of meat, cabbage, eggplant, tomato, onion, turnips, pickles, and hummus. The meat changes the price of said dish, and I went with the Lamb Shawarma, which was $23, and ordered the potatoes as my carb, along with a side of rice. While there wasn't much shawarma, it was good-quality meat. It was very juicy, though that was a bit hard to tell as it was mixed in with the hummus. Speaking of which, the hummus was pretty good, but I've had better quality. I love Lebanese-style turnips and pickled vegetables in general, and these were tasty. The eggplant was slightly sweet with a soft texture, while the cabbage added some crunch. The potatoes, or Batata Harra, are normally $10 when not included as part of the platter, and are a mix of cilantro potatoes and toum, or garlic whip. It wasn't spicy like versions found in most Lebanese spots, but I liked their more herbally take. I also liked the texture of the potatoes, being soft with a bit of chew. For the other base, I also liked the $8 Crispy Garlic Rice side, where the rice is topped with garlic yogurt and crispy pita. This was also very tasty with some nice crunchy textures and a bit of sweetness/sourness from some pomegranate molasses. This was large enough to share, as well, and I presume a side dish of the potatoes would be as well. While not the biggest portion for the price, the quality is a good amount better than the vast majority of Arabic/Levant/Middle Eastern spots in the neighborhood. For instance, the meat alone is several steps ahead of the nearby Au Za'atar, Balade, or Salma, though I will be trying Zesty soon. I would go back to try some of their other offerings.
Cute spot, love the decor! Sweet girl at the cashier. My friend and I shared a beef shawarma and of course we had to get the kunafa pancake. The shawarma was solid! The pancake was unreal. Soo good! Very heavy, plan for a nap after. Definitely worth the visit!
Had a 10/10 experience here, from the service to the food to the reverant allium wall art. It's maybe not the best location for a first date or intimate lunch conversation, but we as an already-married couple had fun with the slightly too loud playlist of super catchy Arabic dance music. I can't comment on the kefta, other than the fact that the cashier was stoked that we ordered it, and the bread and pickles were delicious. My Lebanese breakfast burrito was SO good. I asked for it without sojouk (sausage), and it was immediately offered to sub in falafel instead. This tipped the burrito a little too much on the starchy side, but it was so delicious that I didn't mind. Other than the falafel, it had potatoes, eggs, halloumi, and some kind of sweet, smoky sauce. The portion size is insane - but it's something you'll want to keep eating even as you start to feel full. Would love to see this place get more traffic and love. I wished I had a sign saying "you NEED to eat here" handy so that I could wave it at the people who were pausing outside to look at the menu. We'll definitely be back the next time we're downstate to try their many interesting and frequently changing brunch menu items, including a twist on chicken and waffles with their knefe pancake and a chickpea breakfast soup.
Hen House has been on our list to visit for a while and when we finally got to go, WOW it did not disappoint. It's a very small fast casual restaurant with only a handful of small tables (3 people max). It was not crowded on the Friday afternoon we visited and we got a table to eat there. After we ordered at the counter, the staff delivered the food to our table. The staff was so friendly and excited for us to try the food! We got the lamb Birria and Soujouk Pita. The Lamb Birria ..... SO GOOD. This is a must order item. It's definitely a little messy but so worth it. The Soujouk Pita was also delicious with pickles if you're in the mood for that but I'll probably try something different next time I go to try more items on the menu.
This place was absolutely delicious! Everything I tried was so good and full of flavor. The food quality was amazing and I enjoyed everything I ordered. My only small suggestion is that I wish they had milk available with the Knafe pancake, but aside from that, everything was excellent. Definitely a place I'd come back to and highly recommend!
We ordered the Piri Piri Chicken Sandwich ($16 before credit card fees and other fees). It was easily worthy of 5 stars and definitely worth trying. It's my second favorite chicken sandwich in NYC right now. It's fried and has a nice piri piri sauce. I don't eat much hot food anymore, but I consider this mild and wouldn't order again if it was any milder. But, everyone is different, it has a little heat, so I suggest ordering the sauce on the side if you are ordering for someone who isn't accustomed to seasoned food. The size of the chicken sandwich is great as well. Honestly, most chicken sandwiches in NYC aren't even as good as Popeye's. So I am always wary of ordering fried chicken sandwiches, but this was excellent and definitely better than Popeye's! There were 4 tables for 2 plus 2 stools at a high top. No outside seating. So space is limited. The staff did a great job with the volume of people. No bathroom, no option to wash my hands here before the meal was almost as disappointing as not being able to wash my greased up fingers after the meal.
Wow I was blown away with this meal! Filling, flavorful, and even though I eat a lot of Middle Eastern it was unique. The birria lamb was above and beyond! Would highly recommend to anyone going to a play in the area as I was.
Omg, @ World Trade Center outdoor yesterday, I walked into food fair. I ordered the OG Shawarma, it was amazing. I'm a very picky eater. The right amount of sauce, grilled chicken on screwer. Soooo, tasty I recommend this spot!
Very friendly staff working at the spot and also yummy food! For Father's Day they had a brunch menu that had some special items you can't get during other times.
This place is incredible. Falafel pita is excellent, and the Knefe pancake is incredible - one of the best and most unique pancakes I've ever had. The cheese inside is insane. Will return for chicken shawarma and the famed fried chicken sandwich!
If you're looking for something truly unique in NYC, Henhouse is on another level. I ordered the blueberry knefe pancakes and WOW this dish is pure genius. It's thick, golden, slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with warm, jammy blueberries that melt into every bite. The little pat of butter just ties everything together. It's rich, comforting, and unlike anything I've ever had, sweet but not overpowering, with that perfect knefe twist. Honestly unforgettable. Then I tried the piri piri chicken sandwich and it completely delivered. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavor. But the real highlight? Their homemade piri piri sauce. It's bold, slightly spicy, tangy, and creamy all at once, it elevates the entire sandwich. Add in the pickles and slaw for crunch and balance, all inside that perfectly toasted bun... every bite hits. What I love most is how original everything feels....you can tell they really thought through every detail on the menu. It's not your typical brunch or sandwich spot. The atmosphere is just as good as the food, trendy, fun, and super vibey without being pretentious. It's the kind of place you go to enjoy amazing food and the experience. Food: 10/10 Originality: 10/10 Vibe: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Easily one of the best and most creative spots I've tried in NYC.....already planning my next visit
Fast-casual Mediterranean done right. The food was unreal, the service was great, and everything came out quick. Pro tip: come with friends so you can order multiple dishes; you'll want to try everything. Fan favorite: the Crunchwrap Supreme Stuffed with lamb shawarma, potatoes, toum, crunchy pita chips, and more. This was full-on flavor. Every element worked perfectly together, from the pickles to the meat. Truly addictive. Other mains: * Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich - juicy, spicy, insanely flavorful, and easily one of the best chicken sandwiches in the city. * Lamb Shawarma Wrap - all the essentials of a perfect wrap. The toum absolutely steals the show, the lamb is perfectly seasoned, and the wrap comes out crispy for the perfect crunch. Last but not least: the Kunafa Pancake Not technically dessert... but it should be. The pancake is fluffy and delicious on its own, and the kunafa elements take it through the roof. Best served plain in my opinion, but you can also get it with sweet berries or even spicy fried chicken. Don't miss: the Crunchwrap and the Kunafa Pancake. 5/5 -- no notes.
My friends and I arrived fairly early on Friday to dine in for brunch/lunch. We were greeted warmly by the cashier who told us to sit. The seating area is fairly small, which surprised me. We ordered the crispy garlic rice, the Piri Piri chicken sandwich, and the famous knefeh and chicken pancake. The server was so nice, she offered us a sample of the seasonal lemonade, which had rose water and turmeric. It did take a little bit of time for all the food to come out. We chit-chatted while we shared the garlic rice (a little crunchy, very mild) and the chicken sandwich. The PiriPiri sandwich came with a huge piece of fried chicken that was spiced and fried well. The chicken was juicy and not super dry. The little bit of pickled cabbage helped keep things from becoming too greasy. After a bit of wait, the pancake was served. It was such a fun experience with the crunchy kadayif noodles and the cheese hidden underneath a super fluffy pancake. The salty and cheesy flavors of the pancake went well with the rose maple syrup. The spice from the chicken added another note to the dish that made it such a great combo of flavor. I could not stop picking at this huge pancake. It's definitely meant to be eaten by at least two, if not three. If we had known, we probably wouldn't have ordered the other chicken sandwich. Overall the contrast in the chicken and knafeh pancake alone was enough to want me to visit again. The textural crunch, the melted pull of the cheese, the sweet syrup against salty and spicy flavors of the chicken. Not only was the whole presentation beautiful, but the dish itself tasted amazing. I would visit Hen House again for the experience. read more

Saw their pancakes on TikTok and had to give it a try. We came in Sunday noon, ordered and seated ourselves right away. We forgot to take a picture of the chilaquiles chicken shawarma, but it was decent (3/5). The wrap was crispy, and the pickle spear in there added a nice sweet and sour bite. The knafeh pancake was delicious though (4/5). Topped with a berry compote and bathing in a sauce, the pancake is like 1.5 inches thick with a crispy knafeh exterior and dense cake interior. There's savory cheese towards the center. For me, it wasn't the best pancake I ever had, but I loved how unique it was! read more

We got the chicken shawarma which wasn't too heavy. I do wish the shawarma was slightly bigger. There wasn't a sauce drenching the chicken. It's a beautiful space. We were the only ones there and the service was great. There was small talk with the worker. The menu is small but SUPER creative. I love the idea of potatoes instead of rice for a platter. Would love to come back and try the knafeh pancakes. read more
I almost missed it on the menu but luckily I did get the lamb birria. It's a big mama. The more you unroll it the more food appears. I couldn't handle it all on my own. It's cheesy and full of meat. The consommé has a nice sweetness to it that complements the lamb. The lamb was a bit dry but once you dip it's all good. The reason it's a quarter of a hundred, is the size and heartiness of it. I think it's well worth the price. A bit of a food comma item. The cafe is casual. You come in, order at the counter and wait for your food. The birria took a little long but it was perfect temperature. Look forward to trying more things on the menu. read more

I can't wait to return!! Love that they incorporated Armenian dishes into their menu, felt just like home made recipes!! The staff was super accommodating to the wait time and we were able to sip on some Persian beer while waiting for our table read more
Very tender, high-quality chicken. Ordered the chicken sandwich and birria-style lamb shawarma. Great flavors without overwhelming the stomach. Cute and simple interior. Kind and hospitable worker as well. For being a fast-casual restaurant, the overall food quality and experience is worth checking out for sure. read more

The OG chicken shawarma is amazing. The service here is great, too. I got my wrap at Smorgasburg WTC and the wrap was huge! While I was waiting for my order I was given a sample of the chicken, too, which was a nice touch. Garlic sauce (toun) is egg white based so no dairy which is also a bonus. Thoroughly impressed. read more

FIREEEE THIS PLACE IS AMAZINGGGG i'm shocked that food THIS good is served in a cafe setting like they need a nice restaurant space wow. The vibe inside is cute and the hospitality is so nice, also they were playing eurodance and 90s hits the whole time I wanted to dance like lemme get a link to this playlist please. Started with the Lamb Pitaquilles... i nearly passed out in my seat those flavors were UNBELIEVABLE. Like a Lebanese Chilaquiles made with pita chips. The lamb was so so so tender and the sauce on this made me tear up. I want to eat this every weekend now. Then we got the Knafeh Pancake, this thing was THICK. It was so soft but also crispy. The cheese and the berries paired soooo well like every bite was enlightening. And I have leftovers for later i'm so excited!!! Also tried their seasonal lemonade, the current flavor is passionfruit. This was really good too. A bit more on the tart side on its own but when paired with the food it's sooooo refreshing!! I need to try more items on this menu because i'm enthralled like mmmmm read more
Amazing. Incredible. Mind blowing. Scrumptious. I can't even begin to describe the experience at Hen house. The service is 10/10. We met Tony himself who was kind, welcoming, and humble. The food we had: Crunch wrap-- oh my god. The marinated meat. The pita chips and potato filling. The PIRI SAUCE holy moly I could drink it. Share this with your group. It is a good sized order. Knafeh pancake--yes. Just yes. Get it. The blueberry compote, crisp knafeh topping, soft cheese interior, literally left me speechless. 10/10 worth every morsel. I dream of this place on the daily. It's perfect in every way. read more
Excellent takeout! Get the Lamb Birria. It's pricey but you'll understand why - it's massive and filled with some of the juiciest lamb I've ever had. We also tried the Piri Piri Fried Chicken Sandwich which was great. Order the Za'atar Ranch and Piri Piri Hot Sauce on the side and you basically have yourself a buffalo chicken sandwich. We ordered through DoorDash and food was delivered in about 30 minutes still hot and fresh. read more

I had this place on my radar for several months but after I hearing about their delicious brunch menu, I jumped at the opportunity to eat here as soon as possible. My fiancé and I came in a rainy Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm, luckily for us, they offer their brunch menu until 5pm. This is a very small restaurant in the LES which limited seating (mostly tables for 2), but luckily it was not too busy when we arrived and a lot of locals get food to-go which helps us humans traveling from far, especially in the winter. The owner was manning the cashier and he is such a lovely person, clearly very passionate about his restaurant and dishes. We decided to try some of their brunch items but also their lunch. We shared: - Bulgarian eggs: Exceptional dish, this is hands down one of the most beautifully executed egg brunch dishes I've had in a long time. Everything about this is perfect-- the jammy egg yolks, the garlicky creamy labne, the subtle sweetness of the dates, the beautiful nutty flavor and crispy texture from the pepitas, the little punch from the crispy shallots.... Just divine! It also has the most delicate and warm spices which give it a comforting and heartwarming feel reminiscent of poetry. Perfectly balanced in all its components, made me feel like these ingredients were meant to go together. Highly recommend!!! Comes with pita on the side. - Chicken shawarma platter: one of their lunch plates.... AMAZING! The chicken was so juicy it was insane. It was perfectly seasoned and had the right balance of spices. It came with a generous serving of sides including these deliciously crispy and herby potatoes, roasted eggplant, tangy cabbage salad, and balanced by the acidity of pickled turnips and pickles. This also came with a side of pita and their decadent and addictive toum or garlic sauce. Would come back just for this. Super filling but light at the same time. Exceptional quality of ingredients. - Knefe pancake: we had to try this one after seeing how beautiful it looked on social media. It did not disappoint! This is a delicious treat for anyone who wants something a little sweet with brunch that is not overwhelming. The portion size is very generous and perfect for sharing. This is inspired on the knefe dessert which has some toasted shredded phyllo dough on top of cheese. This dish has a thick buttermilk pancake with a crispy phyllo layer on top, and filled with melty, stringy cheese in the middle. The base itself is not overly sweet and is almost savory. This is perfectly balanced by the naturally sweet blueberry compote used as a topping. These are decadent, buttery, and just the perfect level of sweetness. Overall, loved my experience here! I love Lebanese cuisine and I thought this place incorporates it in both traditional and non-traditional ways, consistently delivering amazing flavors and high quality ingredients. I really want to come back to try their chicken sandwich as well as their lamb shawarma birria. Don't hesitate to come here, you won't be disappointed! read more
Stopped by Hen House NYC and tried the piri piri fried chicken sandwich--super flavorful with the perfect balance of heat and crunch. The chicken was juicy, and everything tasted fresh and well put together. The owner was really welcoming and even offered me a sample of a kafta special that's coming to the menu soon, which was a great touch. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area. read more
Cozy and warming food spot in NYC. Tried the mixed platter with falafel and soujouk (beef and lamb mixed patties). The labneh was really my favorite part but the whole platter with pickled veggies, crispy rice, a side of pita, hummus, and some salad were balanced. I thought the falafel were a tad too crunchy but the soujouk was tender. I also tried the kenefe pancake which was delicious and balanced. The dish was not too sweet and was balanced with the saltiness of the cheese. The blueberry compote was also delicious and again not too sweet. The pancake texture was almost cake like. It was a bit dense compared to a pancake but still really enjoyable. This dish was very filling so we had leftovers to-go. I wish service was a bit better. This spot offers dine in, but I had to constantly go to the counter to request things that I would have expected to come out directly (like tap water and extra plates). Most people take out I guess. read more
This was excellent. The crunchwrap supreme is enormous and a lot but really great. The lamb shawarma platter was excellent as well. As we were walking out, we also saw someone with the fried chicken sandwich, which looked incredible -- definitely something to try next time. read more

Everything Tony touches turns to gold. Literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and the collabs he does with other NYC restaurants are divine. He's always doing specials and concocting new items for the menu. Solid, sweet human being too. WE LOVE YOU HEN HOUSE read more

Overall positive experience - super friendly staff and good food. That said, it did feel my wrap didn't have much lamb for being a $19 dish. That said, I do plan on coming back since they had quite a few great looking dishes - maybe I just came on an off night! Very limited seating inside, so be prepared to take it to go or eat standing up! read more
I've been here 5+ times and each time it's the highlight of my week! Every single dish I've had here is amazing, my bf loves the lamb shawarma and fried chicken sandwich, both are amazing but my favorite is the pancake with shredded wheat cheese and blueberry! It's like nothing else I've ever had, it's so decadent and just unique and perfect. The servers at the counter are always super nice and helpful when deciding what to get and everything I've tried has been a hit. If you are anywhere near by def check this place out! read more
