Ordered delivery, so can't say anything about the vibes…read more The chicken was absolutely dry and way too charcoal-y -- the flavor was there, but it wasn't enough to save it. Grilled corn was also a miss -- barely ripe, small kernels, totally flavorless. The saving graces: coleslaw that was perfectly creamy with an unexpected kick, solid mac n cheese, and flavorful yellow rice. The sides did their job, but the mains did not.

Not as much food as we were expecting but still very solid for what you pay for…read more The rice is sold and seasoned and the chicken is cooked well done. The extra hot sauce is HOT and the garlic and herb sauce is really delicious, although I wish we had ordered more. Nothing crazy standout from our food from here but nothing particularly negative either. Solid.

But this is the first two times that I've gone to their "NEW" sit down location' across from the original. The decor is really pretty and it pays homage to Palestine. The staff is great. I've gotten the Hibiscus Margarita (non-alcoholic - so good, you honestly don't miss alcohol); Got Muradad: rice/lentil/caramelized onions n some kinda yogurt; Chicken Shawarma salad; the measl comes with pita bread, olives in oil and another seasoned oil dish

I ordered the kefta and it wouldve probably tasted better if they gave us yogurt and hot sauce! Without it, the whole plate was dry. There was still some flavor on the rice and meat, but its not satisfying without the sauces. I didnt notice we were missing the sauce until i got home and i was not driving 20 minutes back over there to get sauce

My main gripe about this was the fact that they called it the traditional wings combo and they added a picture of fries in the combo. When the order had arrived it didn't come with fries. Turns out all along, the combo only came with a drink and no fries. -1 star for being deceptive in their DoorDash images. Otherwise, the wings were pretty good.

I picked up an order of grape leaves as a snack on my way back to Manhattan a couple of nights ago…read more They were really just average at best and an order of 5 grape leaves rang in at $20 + tax which is insanely expensive. I can't comment on the service since I got takeout, but the place was about 40% full and the ambiance was really nice. Bathroom didn't have a functioning soap dispenser which was concerning! Based on the prices I doubt I'll return but others seems to really love it!

This was hands down the best BBQ I have had in NYC. I don't normally love brisket and this was…read moreamazing. The star of the show were the sides though - the mac and cheese had a bit of spice to it and was slightly tomato based, and the mashed potato salad I LITERALLY wrote home about and told my mom and my aunt immediately, some of the best I've ever had. We got the brisket, the pulled pork, mac and cheese, potato salad, and cole slaw.

Ordered: Stiegl Goldbrau Lager Pint (~$9): 5% from Salzburg,…read moreAustria 1/2 Pound Brisket (~$22) Pastrami Sandwich (~$32): on rye bread with brown deli mustard Small Mac & Cheese (~$8): w parmesan breadcrumbs Small Hometown Slaw (~$7) Aya's take: There's definitely a shortage of proper BBQ in NYC but the line is just a bit too much. I arrived & joined the line at 12:05pm on a Sunday (5 mins after opening) and waited until 1:10pm before ordering. The line is deceiving since more than half of it was inside but I didn't realize how far it extends to the register where you actually order. There was around 40 people waiting when I got there...again, 5 minutes after opening. Anyway, I committed to the line and realize it's wildly inefficient. There's only 1-2 people taking orders and 2-4 different workers standing around or doing something occasionally. They really have to figure out how to reduce these inefficiencies, at least on weekends. Now for the food, it's definitely amazing for NYC standards but not quite as good as Texas, in my opinion. The Brisket had some tender & juicy bites which I loved but most of it was on the dry/lean side. I wish the worker asked us for our preference. The Pastrami Sandwich was a good try and only available on weekends. The meat is smoky and savory, and tangy from the brown deli mustard. I actually loved their Mac & Cheese! It was so creamy, cheesy, and satisfying. Even the Hometown Slaw was just right. Not too creamy, not too vinegary, and gave us a fresh bite to cut through all the savory meat. The worker was nice enough to give me some pickled onions which I absolutely love with my BBQ. I wish they had some more local beer options but the Stiegl Goldbrau Lager Pint was great to sip on as someone who likes light & refreshing beers. Despite the atrocious wait time, I'm really glad I got to try it!

Nice location right off the Boardwalk. I came here with my husband and 2 kids. It's a child…read morefriendly place - first time I've ever been to a restaurant that has a built in play place. 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.

I tried went with the Gosht burger and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I ordered the strawberry mojito for a beverage choice. It was sweet with alittle bit of strawberry taste. The burger was great though alittle small. I enjoyed it. The salad was fresh and the grilled chicken cutlets were soft. Overall, a decent meal. Definitely a nice place to patronize for a nice meal.

Standard late night grub - can get all things fried and glcan satisfy that craving! We got some onion rings, loaded fries (uses a cheese sauce vs. melted cheese), shrimp basket, and a sandwich.

Next time will have to try the chicken over rice!
