The owner Simon was very accommodating , lovely, and made me feel like family. As soon as I finished ordering , he offered me a free side. The spicy mushroom side was so delicious! I also noticed he greeted all people coming in with kindness, charisma and free samples, which I loved. I sat down and waited for my food to come out. I got up to ask if they have any hot tea, he said yes and recommended the cardamom tea . The tea was perfect beautiful delicious! Never had cardamom tea before. I came from New York on a day trip and stumbled upon a true gem. I never had Lebanese food before and I am so glad I came here. I was treated like an actual princess. Food was so flavorful , delicious, full of love and flavors!!! The falafel was crunchy and so so so so good. Everything on the table was fresh!!! Simon would come to my table and give me free samples of their desserts. I was just so overjoyed with the whole experience! I couldn't leave without buying hummus and a seven bean salad as well as some cookies. The restaurant was beautiful and filled with life and colors. Thank you Simon for having me , you are amazing and your team is too! I will definitely be back and I recommend everyone from all parts of the globe to come here.

The restaurant decor looked very nice when I stopped in to get my to-go order. I have heard great things about this restaurant and was excited to try it. Unfortunately I also ordered a Tabouleh salad with grilled chicken. There was SO much dressing (oil) on the Tabouleh I could barely taste the actual vegetables--the oil was even leaking out of the container, so that was disappointing. Also the grilled chicken was fatty and not very tasty so I was unable to eat it as well. I do want to try some other dishes here in the future to see how other dishes taste.

It's simply appointed, it's the food that's the star! We started with grape leaves, an explosion of spices and flavor. There were more than shown in the photo, I couldn't wait. We followed with Chicken Sambosa in the flakiest of crusts. I had the Chicken Shish Tawook (think Kebab), again beautifully spiced. My husband had the Chicken Sharma Platter. Delicious, but we were filling up so we ended up taking much of it home. We ended the night with the amazing pistachio cake. We both don't like desserts that are too sweet, and this is perfect for us, delicate, dreamy and delicious. We had one there and ordered 2 more to bring our friends. I asked our lovely hostess if it was made in-house, and she said, yes, indeed it was. The bill, including wine and tip, came to $140. We will be back to try other items. Treat yourself and pay this small family-run business a visit. You will not be disappointed!

Aba's Falafel in Rhinebeck offers unexpectedly tasty and reasonably priced Mediterranean street…read morefood in a very casual cafeteria-style ambiance in its storefront location on East Market Street. Place your order at the counter, then have a seat at one of the handful of tables in the dining area adjacent to the open kitchen while your food is prepared to order. The menu is very simple with your choice of freshly made-to-order falafel, hummus, or roasted vegetables (as well as various iterations of those three options) served either as a sandwich in a pita or as a platter. On our recent visit for a late lunch, I opted for the falafel pita sandwich ($12), a generous portion of freshly made falafel served with tahini, and cucumber, tomato, cabbage, and onion with sumac, which was excellent! My dining companion went with the hummus pita sandwich ($11), a generous serving of freshly made hummus as well as cucumber, tomato, cabbage, and onion with sumac, which she really enjoyed a lot. Bonus points for the hot sauce (with freshly-made mild, medium, and hot selections) and pickle bar available to patrons no matter whether they grab one of the handful of small tables to enjoy their meal in-house or take their orders to enjoy elsewhere. Portions are generous and the freshness of the ingredients was obvious. Both of us really enjoyed our meals and we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. PRO TIP #1: Aba's doesn't have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street parking on East Market Street. If you can't find a spot on the street, the Rhinebeck Municipal Parking lot (@ 61 East Market Street) is just across the street from Aba's.

As a chef, I do not say this lightly. Dunya in Waterbury is a gem…read more Whenever my wife and I are anywhere near the area, we make it a point to stop. It is not just convenient. It is intentional. The food, the market, the people, the energy of the place all make it worth the trip every single time. The flavors here are deeply rooted in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and you can taste that authenticity in every bite. The hummus is silky and perfectly balanced with tahini and lemon. The baba ganoush carries real smoky depth. The chicken kebabs are juicy and seasoned all the way through. The shawarma is warm, aromatic, and layered with spice. The falafel is crisp outside, vibrant and herbaceous inside. My personal favorite is the Iraqi Chicken Sandwich. It is absolutely phenomenal. The chicken is tender, boldly seasoned, and packed with flavor. Every bite is balanced and satisfying. It is the kind of sandwich that stays on your mind long after you leave. Everything is halal and incredibly fresh. The place is always busy, which tells you everything. The food turns over quickly. The products in the market turn over quickly. There are always people picking up takeout and others shopping the shelves. And the market itself is a treasure. Authentic meats, cheeses, sausages, dairy products, dry goods, teas, dried beans, spices, specialty ingredients and more, all reflecting the flavors of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. These are items you simply will not find in conventional grocery stores. If you love to cook, you will walk out inspired. If you have never been before, do not be intimidated. Walk in. The staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. There is space to sit and enjoy your meal, and they do a huge takeout business as well. Dunya is easily one of the best places in Waterbury and the surrounding areas. Authentic flavor. Unique products. Warm hospitality. I highly recommend it.
