    Chicken Musakhan
    Tory L.

    Saw this place pop up in my Yelp businesses updates email on friday and be came quite curious about the Chicken Musakhan that was featured. So that evening I found Ruzana on Grub Hub and orderd it. This was the first time I had this dish and I love getting to try something now. It was on the bone chicken with Carmelized Onions,Sumac and lots of other wonderful Middle Eastern Spices,topped with slivered almonds on this fluffy flatbread called Taboon. It is a beloved dish of Palestine and I can see why,the chicken was perfectly cooked and the sweeness of the onions mingled magically with the spices and the crunch of the almonds added texture. The Taboon was soaked in the juices and crispy on the edges and soft and fluffy in middle. The only hiccup was the place doesnt use Grub Hub drivers and I was unable to track (which sets off my OCD), after several minutes past last expected arrival I called restaurant to see if it had left and the lady was having a hard time understanding,asking me if I wanted to order and then saying no order had been placed with my name. I asked again are you sure and gave my address no no orders was her reply. Just as I was about to figure out how to get my money back from Grubhub the delivery guy showed up. So that was a bit of unnecesary stress I will chalk up to a miscommunication tho I may decide to dine in next time to avoid this issue.

    Sambusek with Meat

    Wow, what a hidden gem!! As a Palestinian American, it's rare to find authentic good Palestinian food, so when I come across this wonderful restaurant, I was fortunate! First of all, the ambience is so cute and charming with some tables inside and outside. They do lots of take out and catering-tells you how good the food and service is! Abdel-Rahman was so professional, friendly and accommodating. He answered all my questions and the chef was so friendly and handled all my allergy requests like a professional! Everything came out of the kitchen with love and amazing presentation. So much detail to spices and taste to ensure perfection. They don't take shortcuts and focus on quality and flavor. This will now be our regular place for Palestinian food and also just a wonderful place for veggie options for me. Plenty of meat and seafood dishes as well that look so delicious. Ruzana is authentic and as close as it gets to how my mom cooks. Super clean establishment with charm in every corner. Thank you chef and Abdul-Rahman! See later this week!

    Ample servings of fresh food. Lots of meat. Great salads. We had a kebab and it was huge. Well spiced and cooked to order. We had the labneh and that was fresh and huge. The service is good. The guy behind the counter was friendly and fast. They have a number of tables inside and out. Unfortunately, too cold to sit outside. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. I wish they had better fries and better hot sauce (right now no middle eastern version, just American). Also, when we first sat down, no one was there. But then people came in were not social distancing or wearing masks, so maybe it's best to take out here.

    Babaganoush

    4 star food, 1 star off for the fact that no one in the kitchen was wearing a mask, and I had to ask our server specifically to wear one as a well. Safety is safety, regardless of food quality! The babaganoush was my favorite - drenched in olive oil with spices laden on top. Paired equally well with the complimentary pita as well as the French fries that come with most of the platters. The Arabic falafel plater was not bad - the flavor of the falafel patties did not "wow" me to be honest, although dipping in the fresh hummus, served with a few pieces of whole chickpeas still present, partially made up for it.

LOVED the white sauce it came with! The service was great--they were all so sweet and kind! Can't wait to come back!! Thank you so much! !!!

    Casual sit down restaurant. Food is so fresh and delicious. Everything is very well seasoned. Rice is fluffy. One of the better falafels I've had. Chicken tender and juicy. I can't say how much I enjoyed this meal. The price is very reasonable as well. If you want Palestinian/middle eastern food give them a shot.

    Msakhan
    Reham M.

    This place is a gem! Food there is sooo tasty and the portions are big that you will most likely end up taking leftovers home (also a plus not to cook the next day!) Prices are very reasonable and honestly with food that good, other places would charge you waaaay more. I went there with my family and a small group of friends and we ordered a bunch of stuff ( Shawarma platter, Mansaf platter, burger and fries, Msakhan and stuffed grape leaves) and some appetizers salad, hummus and fries, Tabbouleh. Everything I tried was good and tasty, staff were very welcoming and friendly. On a side note, we noticed they were packing a huge order to go and out of curiosity we asked and came to know that they cater events and parties and that order was a stuffed lamb! It looked huge Highly recommend the place, a must try if you ever were in bay ridge area, Brooklyn.

    Chicken Shawarma
    sarah y.

    Chicken Shawarma was delicious and I loved the white sauce that came with it. Inside the restaurant looked cute and they have nice outdoor seating. Only thing I would say is that the service was a little bit slow.

My daughter checked it out but she didn't have socks to play so she stayed at the table with us. For appetizers, we ordered the dumplings (so cute and delicious), the pancakes and the pizza. The pizza was mediocre. For our entrees I had the shrimp avocado salad and my husband got the gosht burger. Our entrees were really tasty. We also got a side of fries for our daughter which we didn't really have to order. It is a little pricey but look at their location! When we got the bill we were charged $10 for the play place. I asked for it to be removed because my daughter didn't really play there and didn't have socks so our waitress removed it. It's not a big playground area and how long can kids really ply there if they're there for the restaurant? They charge $10 on weekday and $15 on weekends.
