Limited experience, but I believe it was a telling one. We bought a number of chicken kebabs for a party. These were not kebabs, but just grilled/fried chicken breasts with some seasoning. They were very dry. They were never marinated and were not prepared on skewers. Now, who can tell me what defines a "kebab"? Let me go first: skewers, marinade, tender. They did supply a tub of "garlic sauce" of a strange taste and consistency. Overall it was a waste of money. We have a party of about 12 people and left with 95% of product by the end of it. It tells you something. read more

Delicious and refreshing chicken shawarma wrap with lettuce, maybe beets, with such a good garlic tzatziki sauce. Loved the soft wrap too. Got it at the farmer's market in Katonah wrapped in tin foil and ready to go. Only drawback was it was tiny, would have loved a larger portion for $13. Would try the lamb next time. 5 stars!!! read more

Irvington Delight - Middle Eastern Near Me - Irvington, New York

I came in on a Monday afternoon and ordered a chicken gyro with no lettuce, extra red onions and french fries. The gentleman at the front was very nice and friendly, he took our order quickly and with a smile. There were plenty of tables and chairs available to eat in, but we needed to take our food to go. Our food came out about 5-10 minutes later and not only was it made quickly and exactly the way that we ordered it, but it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was so flavorful and the fries were nice and hot. I will definitely back to this place whenever I'm in the area for a quick but very delicious bite to eat. read more

I had their Fattoush Salad Meat Shawarma. Meat was flavorful and tender. Salad was crisp and delicious. Highly recommend!

Some of the most hospitable service you will find in Irvington. I've spoken with the employees/owners over the phone and in person, and each time they've been welcoming and accommodating. I am always happy to order here in part because I love supporting businesses that treat their customers right. The food is great fast-casual cooking with an authentic homemade feel. The standouts, by far, are the falafels -- either as a wrap or platter -- and dips. The baba ghanoush is garlicky and smokey, and the hummus has a prominent tahini flavor. If you prefer hummus with a stronger chickpea flavor, I'd recommend Lefteris Gryo; if you like tahini, it doesn't get much better than Irvington Delight. The chicken shawarma alone is good, if a bit dry, but wonderful when smothered in garlic sauce and shatta (hot sauce). The chicken gyro is solid, as is the Greek salad, though I was surprised to see the salad served with balsamic dressing. This place may not look promising on the outside, but step inside and a comforting meal awaits you! read more

See all

I love the falafel here and they've got nice combos/platters. I highly recommend this place if you love falafel. My husband gets the chicken shawarma and loves it, too. We get food here at least once week. Yum. read more

This place has fabulous kofta! The dinner platter comes with beautifully seasoned rice, hummus, tabouleh, and roast onions and pepper. Came with pita. My DC has the lamb kabob, which he enjoyed. I'll return when the kofta craving hits! read more

Family-owned small business and it shows through how good the food is and how well it is prepared. Don't mistake this spot for a deli -- it's the perfect little deli-restaurant combination. The menu is incredibly diverse, ranging from finger-foods to full-on dishes. My absolute favorite thing to get at Irvington Delight is the BEC!! read more

Somehow we had missed this place, and that was a mistake. Friendly people and the food was terrific! We had falafel sandwiches and their homemade halva, and everything else looked so good, we will definitely be coming back soon. Don't miss it! read more

I love Irvington Delight! Their falafel wraps are phenomenal. However, also get the home made baba ghanouj and pita from the fridge. And the muhamara (walnut spread) is sublime. This an old-style, family deli. It's amazing. read more

Wonderful customer service, delicious authentic foods, and the best falafel wrap I've ever had!!!! I was visiting New York City, and my friends took me on a trip into nature. We stopped into this lovely ma & pa deli style shop, and was blown awaaaaaayyyyy!!! Omg wish I could eat there every week. Lovely family, very friendly and welcoming! Shared stories and made connections! I was introduced to this delicious spread that had pistachios in it. I wish I could order that and have it shipped to me!! It was like a sweet, smooth creamy spread that can be put on anything. The owner suggested warm pita bread in the morning!!! We ate it up the whole weekend I was there. Will be back every stop to NY! Thank you!!! read more

I ordered the lamb kebab plate to go and a bottle of wine. I was about 10 minutes away, and the food was already ready when I got there. The meal was pretty tasty, and I enjoyed the rice. If I'm ever in Tarry Town, I'll stop by and try other things from their menu. read more

The best falafel sandwich in Westchester! Don't be fooled by the unassuming store front, this restaurant knows how to make some truly delicious sandwiches. read more

No, just no. Don't believe the hype. Yes, it's homemade and the specialties (house made stuffed grape leaves) can be nice standouts. But overall WAY overpriced, and average at best. Just not worthwhile, have left feeling ripped off on multiple occasions. I get it Irvington, you've got the $ and want to support local. But a truly decent, reasonably priced Middle Eastern would be a great addition to the town. read more

Absolutely delicious!! I got the chicken shawarma pita it was great!!! Definitely recommend it!

Ordered delivery of Irvington Delight for the 3rd time and I'm still in love with this place. Every menu item is authentic and delicious, and leaves me wanting more. We've tried a large variety of their menu so far and it truly is the best option in the Rivertowns for truly authentic Middle Eastern food. Definitely try the Shawarma, Grape Leaves (with meat, a rarity!), Kibbie, the Fattoush, and the incredibly silky hummus. I HIGHLY recommend Irvington Delight. read more

I ordered the lamb Gyro platter. It was expensive! Sadly, the delivery did not include pita and I had to pay extra for the Tzatziki. That's not my expectation of what would normally be included. A disappointment. However, the delivery was faster then expected and the food itself was good. But I will probably not go back. read more

I'm a new business owner in town. I'm also a vegetarian, so finding local affordable meals can be a challenge. Tried Irvington Delight on a whim...WOW. The falafel wrap is as good as I've ever had. Absolutely authentic and delicious. The hummus? World class. Also, best I've ever had (I lived in the east village of NYC for a decade). The establishment is VERY clean. It's a family run business and they're always pleasant and friendly. They take great pride in the authenticity of their food and that's very evident on every visit. I'm so thrilled they're steps from my studio. Definitely one of Westchester's best kept secrets. The most authentic Mediterranean food you'll get here in the states. That's not an exaggeration. I'll be back often. Delicious! read more

Good food but way too expensive. You can get the same sandwich somewhere else for almost half the price.

The best hummus you'll ever taste. But not just one flavor, they make FRESH many different types of hummus. Our faves were mint hummus and basil hummus. The "plain" hummus is hardly plain, by the way. It's probably the richest, creamiest hummus I've ever tried. We also split the falafel wrap. Their falafel were big, moist and flavorful. With lots of the yummy stuff rolled up inside the wrap, including a pickle. We'll definitely be back to try more. Just a heads-up; this is a very low-key type of joint. It's more of a deli than a restaurant. But the owners are attentive and very proud of the high quality food they offer. It's really quite a gem. read more

I wouldn't give it any stars if I could the food was legit the worst I've ever had I got the chicken kabob platter and stuffed grape leaves the chicken kabob platter was disgusting the chicken tasted boiled and was so dry it tasted three days old the baba ganoush had a strong smoked flavor that was very unpleasant the rice was drenched in oil and the grape leaves had a really weird flavor I don't understand how this place got a 4 stars my food didn't even look like the pictures don't eat there there's better options this place is trash read more

$27 for a lamb over rice...won't be back. Rice was very oily, white sauce and hot sauce had no flavor.

Excellent Middle Eastern food at very low prices. Great kabobs, shawarma, and falafel as well as tasty hummus. Excellent budget lunch takeout spot for healthy and tasty treats. read more

Irvington Delight has evolved nicely and has become a regular on our order in routine. The food is always fresh and they seem to have striven toward using authentic recipes. Although a bit pricey, they do give you huge portions, so don't be afraid to share dishes. I love their grape leaves.... read more

Visited for the first time today! Stuffed grape leaves were out of this world! Made from scratch and so were the other dishes. The owner was nice enough to offer a sample of the both the meat and veggie version of their stuffed grape leaves. Both were delicious and I am hooked! The chicken shawarma was amazing! taste the garlic from their home made sauce and the hot sauce they also make was not over powering.The owner was exceptionally friendly and explained a bit about how the food is prepared and all the ingredients which made this meal just a bit more special. There are not a lot of resturants you go to where the owners are as passionate about their food as this family owned restaurant. Btw i rarely review a place but this one deserved one. read more

We ordered delivery and were very happy with the delivery time. The grilled veggies, hummus, falafel, baba, tabbouleh, and rice were all great. The pita did not seem, though may have been, home made, but it was soft and warm. I like to order kebab meat for the thicker cut because it stays moist, where the typical sliced meat is very dry, but I was disappointed that their chicken and lamb "kebab" dishes were both cut very thin and therefore were really dry. I would definitely order again, but wouldn't order meat. read more

My wife swears by the chicken schwarma. A little pricey but worth it. Get the freeka too.

Amazing! Friendly owners and staff, really wonderful shawarma platters and wraps, and their hummus is the best I've ever had.

This place is an absolute gem. I'm so glad they are here. The dish that I like the best is the chicken schawarma platter. It comes with rice, salad and pickles and it's really delicious with their hot sauce and they give you enough to share with someone. I have tried their kibbeh and stuffed grape leaves, both were wonderful. The people who own the shop and very nice and helpful. The shop is immaculate. They are open Monday-Saturday. read more

I would go five stars, but I didn't go there; the wife brought takeout home and it was really very, very good. We had two different Schwarmas, chicken and beef. They came on a very nice bed of rice with a good Middle Eastern salad and pickles. We'll be using this place. A very nice find. read more

Delicious and convenient middle eastern food. Their shish kabobs and gyros are delicious! I love the garlic sauce that comes with some of their meals. The spinach pies are amazing and so is their hummus. There is seating to eat, but we usually take our food to go. read more

If someone told me that my addiction to coffee would lead me to discover one of the best places in Irvington, NY, I'd laugh and say, "This addiction isn't going to discover anything but my body on the ground when I don't feed my need." But I'd be wrong. I stumbled into Irvington Delight early one morning in desperate need of coffee. My senses were awakened as I looked around: a huge breakfast and lunch menu, a large variety of snacks and drinks, homemade Mediterranean pastries, coffee. The coffee, for one, is great. It's cheap and does the trick. I ordered a plain cheese omelet one morning and it was one of the best I've ever had (and I go to a LOT of diners). One day for lunch I tried the Irvington Delight Combo in a whole wheat wrap (grilled chicken, bacon, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch dressing) and it was STUNNINGLY delicious. It was made fresh right in front of my eyes and oozed with warm cheesy, chickeny, bacony goodness. Heaven on earth. I'm excited to try the traditional Mediterranean cuisine featured on the menu, especially because so many Yelpers rave about it. The people who work here are very friendly and will make you anything you want! Even if you stop by at noon and want eggs, they'll break out their breakfast magic and whip up a great brunch for you. Hopefully one morning soon you'll stop by Irvington Delight only for a coffee, but you'll walk out with an omelet and pastry and sandwich and lunch platter, et al. read more

FIVE Stars! My friend and I were on our way to a gig in Tarrytown last week and arrived in the area early, so we decided to look for a place where we could get a cup of coffee. Neither of us wanted Dunkin Doughnuts so we drove a bit until we saw this nice little, inviting corner store Irvington Delight. We figured we could get a nice cup of coffee there. The owner couldn't be friendlier. As we got our coffees, my friend realized he took the decaf by mistake. Without hesitation he said to take another cup and get the regular he wanted, no extra charge. At this point I heard some middle eastern music playing in the background. That got me curious, so I I took a step around to the food case and sure enough I noticed a bunch of middle eastern delicacies, most notably - Grape Leaves! I've had the pleasure of experiencing my wife's family's Grape Leaves, Humous, Kibbe, Baba Ganoush etc... and I know what the REAL DEAL is. Further, even as an Italian-American I can still say that there is no food I'd rather eat than REAL middle eastern cuisine. It's just indescribably delicious, and my mother-in-law, and my wife's grandmother were masters. Since they're no longer with us, we only have "Syrian" food on rare occasions. I asked the owner if these were real middle eastern grape leaves, and he told me absolutely.....that it was all homemade. The grape leaves come from his own vine (just like my wife's family had always done), and then he proceeded to giving us samples of EVERYTHING! The grape leaves were delicious, made with lamb, and indeed the REAL DEAL. He also gave us samples of homemade humous, which was creamy and amazing with just the right amount of (the often missing) Tahini flavor. Then we tried the Baba Ganoush, and again it was creamy and delicious, and definitely unlike any commercially available product you'll find in a Costco or wherever. I just "needed" to buy a dozen grape leaves to take with me, though the owner didn't pressure us to purchase anything more than the 2 cups of coffee we bought, even with all the samples he gave us. I guess he was content to let his food do the work? I'll add that for all the work that goes into making grape leaves, $10.00 for 1 dozen was incredibly inexpensive. What a wonderful experience it was to visit Irvington Delight! I live in Staten Island, but I will not hesitate to make the trip up to Irvington to buy some of these amazing delicacies. For sure, I will definitely stop in whenever I play in the area (which is often). Thank you for your generosity and hospitality! read more

This is a great, authentic spot with fresh food that is made to order. I had been anticipating its opening and glad that I finally made my way there. The owner takes great pride in his food and was very helpful in suggesting that I order the falafel combo. The fresh, warm and perfectly crisp falafels were accompanied with creamy baba ganouj, and delicious, homemade hummus. There are a few chairs for a quick bite, and an extensive menu that seems to cater to even the less-adventurous patrons. I look forward to my next meal here! read more

Irvington Delight - Falafel combo with baba ganouj, hummus and tabbouleh salad. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Irvington, New York

I've only had the falafel sandwich, but it's the best one I have found in westchester. Looking forward to trying more of their offerings.

Loved their falafel. Great wrap, friendly service. Next time I'll try their other vegetarian stuff on the menu like baba ganush.

Three stars for now. I'd like to try more of their stuff. We encountered nice efficient staff. We were greeted and treated well on a take out order late at night. I had the lamb gyro and my wife ordered the chicken and rice. My only two gripes are that the gyro comes with a pita that's too soft and unstable. The meat and seasoning on the gyro are good though. Their chicken was also way too dry. The highlight of our visit was the rice. Soooo flavorful that I'm going to go back and order a ton of it. Next time I'll do the kebabs with the awesome rice. It's only street parking so be aware of that fact. read more

The food is homemade fresh, the owner lady is so sweet. I had the mixed shawarma, so delicious! I wish I found out about Irvington Delight sooner! read more
