Visited New York from Los Angeles and I had been missing good kebab and döner, so I was really happy I found this place while walking towards Dumbo. Even though the location is very touristy, the food genuinely surprised me in a good way. I ordered the lentil soup and a beef döner bowl. The portion size was very generous -- I actually had to take the rest to go. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Service was also fast and the staff were very kind and welcoming. Overall, solid spot for a quick and satisfying meal. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in New York. read more

This place is conveniently located near Dumbo. If you're ever visiting in the area or taking your friends around, this is a great casual spot to pick up food. It's like a doner kebab chipotle-style place. The meat is so tender and juicy, packed with great selection of toppings you can choose from. The wild rice is so chewy and tasty. Staffs were friendly and they are generous with their portion. We got to try three premade bowls: 3 meat combo, beef and lamb combo, and the falafel combo. They were all soooo delicious and the sauces are fantastic addition to the bowl. (Garlic, lemon, tahini, muhammara, etc.) You can also choose the build your own bowl option as well! This place might be my new casual eats obsession. If only they have a location near One Madison I'd probably be going there for lunch every week. They also have a restroom for customers only. read more

They do NOT skimp out on the portions. One of my favorite lunch options in dumbo. Huge bowl. You can do create your own or pick from the bowls they have. Vegetables are super fresh. They cut the beef off the rotator so you know it was going to be juicy and not dry. Quick service. Underrated spot read more

Side note: Most reviews for this place are on other sites, like many similar spots, as well as on delivery pages. I went to this tasty little place that serves what is essentially a halal version of Chipotle a couple of months ago. I presume they are Turkish, based on the pita being Turkish-style rather than the usual stuff you find in most Arabic spots, and on them serving doner/döner on a spit, but I'm not positive (pretty positive though, as I heard Turkish there.) The menu offers the standard choices found at similar spots, including a bowl, a wrap, or on a pita. However, the bowl options are a bit more unique, such as vermicelli rice along with the standard brown and greens. The dips are various mezzes from muhammara and labneh to the more standard hummus and smoked eggplant/baba ghanoush, and guacamole if you're confusing this for a Chipotle. For meat options, there's beef or lamb doner (or a mix of both for more) along with caramelized mushrooms, falafel, or roasted veggies. The remaining toppings include many options, including more Turkish/Arabic/Middle Eastern items such as sumac onions, shredded cabbage, and a tomato-and-onion salad and many others. There's also a bunch of sauce options, ranging from spicy to not so much, such as tahini and my preference, garlic whip/toum, among others. I personally got a rice bowl, which starts at a reasonable $12.50 if you don't add any premium meat options. Along with vermicelli rice, I got a beef döner, which was $2.50 more, with roasted mushrooms as an additional protein, along with muhammara, baba, hummus, and a bunch of toppings, with the garlic whip and another sauce on top. The portion size was quite large and reasonable after tax, at about $17.50, including both toppings, though this would have been a couple of bucks less without the mushrooms. The rice was slightly buttery as it should be for a Turkish-style shop, and the meat was tender and flavorful, being much better than the relatively dry meat at German Doner Kebab. The various toppings were of good quality, with smoky baba ghanoush, a slightly thick hummus, and a solid muhammara, though I would have preferred more walnuts for texture. The rest of the toppings were fresh, with my preference being a lot of pickled and spicy ingredients, and the dish definitely packed a spicy hit. Of course, the toppings aren't as good as at a spot like Al Badawi or other similarly high-quality Arabic spots in the area, but for the price point, it's hard to complain much. I hope another one of these opens up in Manhattan. In my opinion, I prefer either Flatiron or Curry Hill, as many of the old, good Arabic spots had closed due to the pandemic and would be welcomed by the locals in those places. There are a few other areas I think they would work as well, but those two would be my preference. If I were in the area, I would have gone back and tried a pita, but unfortunately, I don't live there anymore. Hope they do well, and they should. read more

UNLIMITED toppings, FREE guac, and CALORIES listed. This is such a solid spot for some casual halal build-your-own-bowl, and they pile on the portions, too! I'm so glad this opened near me, as I think I'll be visiting often for a post-gym meal with tons of protein. read more

Picked up their chicken wrap for a quick bite. All the ingredients were fresh, and the wrap was generously stacked. The server crisped up the tortilla really nicely. Loved it! A great place for a quick bite in DUMBO. read more

Amazing!! Meat Pita was delicious ! Best I ever had 5 stars clean ! Neat! Reasonable for the amount of food would come back read more

New to the neighborhood, but stands out on its own. I was in the area and this cute adorable young man was standing out so on one the hottest days in the NYC, giving out free samples of wraps. He said something about the wrap having beef and lamb, but I told him I don't like lamb anything. He said it was mostly beef. It looked really tasty so I decided to try it. I was blown away and had to make a visit inside the store. I ordered me a whole wrap to take home, and somehow I had my daughter buy me a lil Dubai chocolate cup, but she thought I had it and she paid, but I never bothered to take it because I told her to buy it for me. So Meatup that's another excuse for me to make another visit and get my chocolate along with another delicious wrap. Everything was so fresh, it really was the best wrap I had. If you are visiting this area, I would definitely say check them out. Pick up some sweets while you're there. Two thumbs up and Happy Yelping! I will be back read more

It was my first time eating at MeatUp. I ordered a brown rice bowl with thinly sliced beef. My toppings/sides were cherry tomatoes, red onions and cabbage. The top of the dish was drizzled with a very nice garlic mayo sauce. The food was great and the service was excellent.
