Tried Baraka Eats through Too Good To Go and wow--it absolutely delivered We ordered through Too Good To Go and got two chicken over rice dinners and an order of sambusa. Everything was incredible. The chicken was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The rice paired so well with it--every bite hit. The sambusa was just as good--crispy on the outside with a flavorful, well-seasoned filling inside. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Definitely coming back for more. read more

This is a neat place very bright and colorful inside with lots of tasty treats and very nice staff. The chicken schwarma was good nothing special and the baklava was very good as well. I found the beehive pastries disappointing and not what I've come to expect from places like this I'd skip it. Prices were OK but added up quickly! I would stop by again for a treat but probably skip dinner. There's a parking lot across the street available for use. read more

Wow! I can't believe this place is 5 minutes from my house and I'm just finding out about it! The food is on a whole other level! The rotisserie chicken is juicy with slightly crispy skin. Absolutely full of flavor in each bite! The desserts, like the Dubai Chocolate brownie, are out of this world. Everyone working seems to be enjoying their day as I've been greeted with a smile both times I've been there. My to go orders have been placed in bags carefully and boxed great to prevent any spilling. The attentiveness and care speaks volumes as there are a few other places in the neighborhood that have similar dishes but they are light years beyond the competition when it comes to service. Place is clean. You can see the food being cooked and prepped as they have nothing to hide. Not a big place but there are tables with chairs and bar stools along side a counter with a view of the neighborhood. Can't wait to be back! read more

I come here at least once a week to grab their desserts and maybe even a chicken schwarma with fries to-go. That's my favorite menu item outside of the desserts Everything on the menu is delicious but I usually lean towards either a strawberry cup with Dubai chocolate, a Dubai chocolate brownie, or a "viral" fruit pastry. All the cookies and other desserts are delicious though and I've tried all of them at this point and would order each one again. Service is quick and the staff is friendly. There is a parking lot next door as well as street parking. Online order ahead for quick pickup. read more

This is still one of the best Arabic restaurants and bakeries out in Buffalo. They have a great variety of Arabic food and baked goods. They also have a clean establishment, friendly staff, and reasonable pricing. read more

I've been stalking Baraka's food on the socials as I do for several places (haha) and I finally made it to actually eat some! It was worth the wait! It's more of a takeout style place, but there is seating along both of the storefront windows. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The service was great. We chose to eat at the restaurant and they brought our food out to us. I ordered the mixed rice bowl (chicken & steak) and my cousin got the chicken. It was sooo tasty and flavorful. The rice was a perfect texture and not bland. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The beef was good too, but I preferred the chicken. The sauces to go on top were all great... Garlic sauce, hot sauce and a salsa-y sauce. The garlic was my favorite. The portion size was good too; it was enough for me to have 2 and a 1/2 lunches. My cousin really enjoyed her bowl as well. We saved room for dessert because, after all, it is called eats and treats! My cousin got the Dubai strawberry cup, but I didn't end up getting anything; my heart was set on kunafa, but since they were short staffed that day, it was not ready yet. I am not a big fan of milk chocolate, but my cousin shared a few bites of her dessert with me and I did enjoy it. The kataifi gave it a nice crunch. I do plan to visit again. I might call first to see if they have kunafa though because it is quite a drive for me to get there... And I don't want my inner fat kid to be disappointed again. read more

I can't believe I have no photos of The inside or my food! What was a busy first half of my day winded down at Baraka for a dinner. We were told about the famous Dubai chocolate and wanted to see what the hype was. I actually ended up getting the chicken and rice meal with a regular brownie and the Tres leches cake that was starring at me from the cooler. I must first say walking in was very pleasing, the staff was veryyyy friendly and the space had a good aesthetic. I learned that the owner came from LA with this business which was very cool. After getting home to dig into the food, I appreciated how fresh the chicken and rice was. It had good flavor. Overall it was something that I've had before at places similar. But certainly not bad at all. The brownie was okay. I needed up accidentally getting the regular brownie and not the Dubai chocolate one. Finally the tres leches was just okay. I would def come back bc the prices were fair and I must try the famous Dubai chocolate brownie read more

Baraka Eats and Treats - Middle Eastern Near Me - Lackawanna, New York

Such a great little place to get good shawarma, simple homemade meals, with comfortable barstool style seating along their storefront window. The showstopper is their AMAZING baked goods, sweet treats, ice cream, milkshakes. Baraka Eats is across from the neighborhood mosque so I believe they share a parking lot with each other, which makes it really convenient to pop in for yummy food! Busy times may require a bit of a wait, but they make every meal fresh & I didn't see anyone wait more than 15 minutes during a very busy hot summer night. Open until 10pm. Tucked in a neighborhood off South Park Avenue as you head towards route 5 from Lackawanna. read more

The setting is clean and comfortable. The food was delicious. I will definitely head back there again. Loved the sauces. Thanks to the owner for offering me a free beverage! read more

Very nice customer service! I got a rice bowl with chicken and 3 samosas. Oh my goodness, sooooo good. This is the best rice and chicken with white sauce ive ever had in buffalo. The spicy samosas were the perfect level of spicy, and the crust was perfect. 10/10 recommend! (great serving portions too, im pregnant and wasnt even able to finish the rice bowl) read more

Love this great addition to Buffalo's halal food scene. There is not much seating - maybe five window chairs? - so most people get food to go. But the concept is so great: half the menu are halal burgers/ chicken/shawarma (combination of Arab and American favorites) and the other half are desserts like baklava, Dubai chocolate creations, smoothies, etc. I met the owner Mansour and am excited about their future. It's just down the street from the masjid (for all my Muslim peeps). read more

Highly recommend!!!! Service was amazing, staff was friendly, kind and welcoming. Food was great and the desserts were out of this world. Will definitely come back! read more

Not worth the hype. Also, they were out of Dubai brownies, Dubai croissants, and their ice cream machine broken. All they had for sweet treats was 13.99 Dubai strawberries and 14.99 Dubai chocolate bar. Ambiance is lacking. More of a to-go kinda place. Very limited seating. Location wasn't the best/safest though there is parking lot across the street. read more

The food was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. As much as I usually don't buy into viral trends, the Dubai chocolate bar was amazing! read more

When we entered Baraka the smell of the restaurant was amazing. The kitchen and restaurant were very clean! We purchased the Dubai brownie, the s'mores cookies and the Dubai chocolate bar. I can't say enough positive things about our experience!!! We gave every item purchased a 5/5 for portion size, quality and deliciousness of product and how appetizing everything looked. We are looking forward to trying the rotisserie chicken, the wraps and sandwiches. Will def be back! read more
