It's never been crowded whenever I go, but I notice that most of their patrons are groups of men, probably coming in for a bite after prayers. There are a few families now & then too.

The menu here is so extensive and may be overwhelming, I do recommend everything we ordered: falafel, grilled halloumi, tabouli salad, hummus beiruty, fatayer sbanek w jabne (spinach pies), frozen jellab, frozen mint lemonade, lahme bi ajin (flatbread), shish tawook platter. We split all of this amongst four people and we were stuffed. Our bill was around $260 without tip so I think it was well worth it. If you enjoy Lebanese food, this is a MUST try!

More than happy to provide recommendations, explanations of dishes, and complementary pairings that made our experience one to remember. The FLAVORS they got into every single dish were exceptional.

Such and enjoyable experience, and EXPERTLY crafted food and cocktails made this meal an Adventure! 100% highly recommend checking out Au Za'atar - but if you do, Make a Reservation before you go!

Unfortunately I decided to order this time in person and once again the lamb was not that great and for some reason they like to chop up the lamb very small which I hate.

I recently made a return, and it's still the same good food i I tasted before. The food is really good. I got the jerk chicken salad the first time I came, and it was delicious. This time around, I got the jerk chicken and rice plate. It was pricey, but the quality was there. So I wasn't mad. There are no tables to dine in. Have to buy and go, but im fine with that. The fact that I could get halal food inside of a restaurant that's clean and not a truck with a little Caribbean spin on it was a great idea to have. I will always make a return when I'm in the area. I would recommend this place percent. Two thumbs up, and Happy Yelping!

From start to finish, this restaurant did an incredible job of preparing the food, making us feel…read moreincredibly comfortable, and also giving us a sense of the Albanian culture to the extent that we could establish that over in the Bronx. Our group of six ended up having a little bit of everything from sausage dip and pepper dip to Albanian dumplings to the Mix Grill Platter, and everything that we ordered was delicious. I don't think that we were able to finish everything, and we ended up taking some stuff home. However, it truly felt authentic and It felt real. We also paired that with some Albanian wine, which was delicious as well. it was a very homey location for people to come try some new food and have a hilarious and great time. I'd also be remiss if I don't call out that the bread that they gave was delicious, so light, so airy and that we were begging for more after the first round. They pair so well with the dips that we got and trust that I'll be back for more of that alongside the entire menu.

Cka Ka Qëllu is an Albanian restaurant by Arthur Ave in the Bronx, previously well-known as Bronx's…read moreLittle Italy but in recent years with a more prominent Albanian community. It was my first Albanian dining experience - the restaurant seemed traditionally set up with Albanian decor and (what I'd imagine) music. It was quite easy to get a table for evening dinner though they do take reservations. They have a large dining room in back with numerous tables and decor hung up. The staff were warm, welcoming and quite attentive throughout the meal and helpful for recommendations. The menu offers nice descriptions of dishes and of cultural significance for certain ones as well. I started off with a yogurt dish and bread - the bread seemed fresh out of the oven in being hot and steamy when cracked, revealing a soft interior. The yogurt was light and refreshing and helped balance spices in the mains. For starter I got the Fli- a multilayered pancake slice with layers of crepe that was primarily buttery. It didn't have a strong taste but went nice with yogurt. For the main I got the skenderberg - veal filet mignon stuffed with cheese, a crispy potato exterior wrap and covered in cream paired with potatoes and sliced peppers. This dish was excellent and very filling with strong flavors - tender, juicy meat, creamy hot cheese and cooler vegetables to balance the hot temperature and strong flavors. I was so full I deferred dessert though they have a few options. Overall a great meal with a large menu and great dining experience, I would definitely return! They have a location in Manhattan I haven't checked out, but per the staff that location is basically identical in menu but more expensive.

Price: seems expensive at first but it's actually to match the portion! Most dishes are huge and meant for sharing!!

Al Badawi means well, but falls short on service, cleanliness (bathroom) and taste. In all…read morefairness, it was my first time trying Palestinian food, and after my evening here, I guess it's not my preferred palette. Whe we arrived, I mentioned I had a reservation. The "host" didn't look us up in a system but just grabbed two menus and walked us to a table. Had he looked at our reservation, he would've seen we requested heated outside table and my son's nut allergies, but we got an indoor table. It winded up being very cold that day so we didn't correct him. I used the bathroom upon arrival and it was not clean. Smelled badly and garbage bin so overflowing that paper towel was accumulating on the floor around it. I believe if you want an idea of how clean the kitchen is, assess how clean the bathroom is. The server women are sweet, but their English wasn't fluent and communication took longer than usual. Sorting out my son's nut allergy (only allergic to cashews and pistachios but all other nuts are ok) became complicated. For example, she kept saying, "but there are no almonds" to which I replied, "yes, but almonds are ok." I had leftover pizza and asked for to-go containers but she didn't bring a pizza box. I started packing the slices in one of their round aluminum containers when I quickly ran out of room. I flagged her down and asked if they had a pizza box instead; to which she replied, "of course we do" (wonder why she didn't bring that in the first place seeing we had leftover pizza? Again, they were nice, tho. The taste of the dishes were so-so. I didn't wind up eating much, but again, this may just be preference. I have a pretty wide palette and I guess this is one of my limits. Their BK Heights location is more highly-rated and wonder if their cleanliness and service is better.
