Such an amazing place for a quick bite at lunch time! My wife works at MSK and I work from home nearby, so we always meet here for lunch. She always gets a falafel wrap, "their way", and I always get the beef shawarma rice bowl with extra garlic dip. The food is ok. It doesn't blow you away, but it is authentic Lebanese. That being said, I don't even care what the food tastes like because the servers are SO nice! When I bring my kids, they always leave with some free french fries. If I show up after the lunch rush, the owner is always around and asks me how I'm doing. When I get up after eating and start cleaning my table, the owner always just shows up behind me and amicably tells me to leave, and he will clean the table himself. You will always be greeted with a smile here, treated respectfully, and leave well-nourished. I wish nothing but success for this place! read more

In Tony Soprano's voice, "ten outta ten!". Does he ever say that in the show? Probably not. Food so good I forgot to take a picture of the beauty I ordered. Made my tummy and heart full. read more

was hungry after visiting a friend in the hospital nearby and stopped in for a quick lunchX Received a massssive falafel wrap for $15, loaded with toppings (Chamoun's Way, can't remember the exact combo). Asked for it to be spicy and got a sauce cup on the side; it had the perfect kick. Tons of Mediterranean appetizers, sides, and entrees to choose from. Will be back if in the area again! read more

Absolutely Phenomenal!and an absolute Gem! I had an amazing experience here! The food is high-quality, deeply flavorful, and tastes like authentic Lebanese cooking. Not only was everything delicious, but our server was also incredibly nice and very generous with the serving sizes. The ambience is not high class restaurant but the food is! To top it all off, the cheese dessert was out of this world phenomenal! It is a must-try. 10/10 highly recommend! If you want high-quality, authentic Lebanese food in NYC, this is the spot. Make sure you save room for the cheese dessert--it is seriously out of this world! I will definitely be back. read more

I didn't know what to order at first, but the man at the register made it super easy to decide - he chose the perfect menu for dinner and gave us complimentary fries and drink to enjoy with our meal. The food tasted amazing and the portions are huge. Filled me up! Ambiance is chill, cozy. It seems that there are regulars who come and catch up with their close friends - I heard a bit of very juicy gossip in the background. Anyways, 5/5, would go back! read more

Ambiance (4/5): No frills space with the front windows and door open with fresh air coming into the restaurant. Service (5/5): The register worker (maybe owner?) was super chill and friendly who provided suggestions and checked in on us after ordering. We also wanted to help by clearing the table but he insisted that we leave it and he'd help clean up. The menu is extensive. We landed on a wrap and a plate. The chicken shawarma was better than the lamb--lamb chunks were a bit tough. It was unlimited toppings and all were very fresh. This would be a banger if their pita was better quality/ different recipe. Must get the hot sauce and tzatziki sauce was amazing. The wrap is ginormous so definitely worth the price point. Will definitely be back again! read more

Chamoun’s Way - Beef shawarma bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Must try: Chamoun's Way Combo! Why: If you're a meat lover get the combo! Packed with chicken, beef, and lamb. I got vermicelli rice, tomatoes, onions, hummus, and baba ghannouj with tzatziki and lemon tahini sauces. Meats were mostly juicy and tender. Some beef had burnt ends, which added flavor and texture. Baba ghannouj had a nice smokey flavor. Hummus was creamy. Great portions for both dips and came with about 6 pita breads. Meal was great for sharing or saving as leftovers. Simple, delicious, and filling. Notes: I am glad I randomly found this Lebanese spot while walking home. Restaurant has many tables for large or small parties. I came on a Monday around 7pm and they were busy with dine-in and online orders. I ordered takeout and it was a short wait. Worker was hard at work managing all the orders and still made me feel welcomed. I thought $36 for the entire meal was a great deal. Coming back for more and to try other dishes! read more

Chamoun’s Way - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

We order delivery from Chamoun's frequently and are always happy. The wraps and sides are excellent. This weekend, we visited with our one year old (who now happens to love Lebanese food). The gentleman who works there was truly the kindest, most welcoming person we've met at a restaurant this year. And our meal was a 10/10 (anything chicken here is a must). 5/5. Don't miss it, especially if you're uptown. read more

Chamoun is a hidden gem! Their beef shawarma plate with the garlic whip is the bomb! Their wraps are also very yummy but recommend passing on the desserts especially if you're not a fan of rose flavored items. Very solid option especially if you're at the hospital and need a quick satisfying bite. read more

This place is so so good, and owned by the loveliest people. Just go you won't regret it. So good!

It was ok. The owner was very nice and offered to do half and half for the protein when I wasn't sure what I wanted, which I appreciated. It was a lot of food for the money, which was great, but the hummus and baba ganoush had zero flavor, it was kind of bizarre. I noticed other people mentioning the same thing so maybe it was an off day and some batches are better than others. Everything is made to order so my food was fresh and hot, but it can take a little time to prepare so keep that in mind. I'm ok waiting for freshly made food. There are a fair number of tables if you decide to eat it, I noticed most people take it to go or are ordering delivery. I'd come back to give it another shot. read more

Chamoun’s Way - Half Beef (lamb) kufta and half Beef (Lamb) Sujuk bowl with Baba Ghannouj and Hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

I really feel like I ordered the wrong thing so I have to go back to try it again, so this review may not be that accurate but cheers to documenting any and all life experiences right? Came on a weekday night and the store was bustling. You order up at the front and if you dine in, you can sit at a random table and they will serve you the food. I ordered a base of vegetables with fish and hummus, baba ghannouj, yellow peppers, and tomato as the toppings. I think I should've ordered the beef kufta because the fish tasted pretty similar to tilapia and didn't have a ton of flavor. I did really appreciate the baba ghannouj though as there were still some chunky bits of eggplant in there. The yellow peppers were also nice to cut through the meatiness of the fish. Overall, I ordered the wrong thing and would return to try again. read more

Was surprised by the price of such a large portion of food. Build-your-own pita offers great variety of options and staff was nice enough to let me split 50-50 chicken and beef. Beef was tough to chew and below expectations for quality of meat, although mixed with all other flavors was a decent pita sandwich. read more

Awesome Indian food and even better ambience. Stopped in on a random Tuesday and was pleasant surprised. Michelin rated.

Great find! I had the falafel over rice with tomatoes cucumbers tahini baba and tzatziki. Very freshly made. It's been a long time since I truly enjoyed a tasty fresh falafel. No frills casual atmosphere but still cozy. Staff is great you just order at the counter and they bring it to you unless you're taking it to go. read more

Came upon this spot walking on 1st. Ave. Ordered the bowl, with Chicken Shawarma, baba ghanoush, and salad. It is also served with a really nice large half cut thin and pliable pita bread. The two sauces I chose were the spicy sauce and the garlic whip. After one bite I realized how authentic this was and immediately smiled that I found another winner in the neighborhood. Been there twice since my initial visit trying the lamb kebab but returning to the chicken Shawarma this last time. Every time I've gone the food's been top-notch, fresh, hot and tasty. The spicy sauce is done just right with wonderful mouth heat. Service is prompt and polite. The room is kept clean. The only suggestion I would have is to have a second napkin dispenser closer to the front of the counter, or that they provide napkins when serving your dish read more

So good.....Recommend 100%.....Food and service incredible .....Great spot for something with friends

Hubby and I had dinner here this past Thursday. When you walk in, there are a couple of 2 seater tables on the left and a couple of 4 seater tables on the right. Past the tables was where you order your entrees. You select the protein, carb, vegetables and sauces from the menu. I ordered chicken shish taouk with rice and vermicelli, pickles, turnip pickles, tomatoes, hummus, garlic sauce, and tzatziki sauce. My husband ordered the chicken shwarma with pickles, cucumber, tomatoes, hummus and garlic sauce. I enjoyed the shish taouk. The chicken was juicy and grilled well. The hummus was okay. I thought the turnip pieces would taste pickled, but they were bland. The garlic sauce was yummy. My husband didn't care for his chicken shwarma. I tried a little bit of the his dish and it was okay. The service was good. The orders were brought to us pretty quickly. Not much wait time. The place filled up quickly after we sat down. read more

Absolutely incredible food, and hands down the nicest people running it. A true NYC gem. Do yourself a favor and stop by sometime.

Stopped in for lunch on a very bad day and got a real lift from the marvelous food and friendly service. It is a literal hole in the wall on the east side and the lamb kebab on rice with vermicelli was better than at any fancy restaurant. read more

The falafel is usually good but at nite the reheats makes it dry and not worth the price. The labne is usually very good but at nite watery and half empty, not good at all or the two tiny dry pita they include The reheated food is NOT the way to get rid of leftovers falafel....never again read more

We were undecided what to have for dinner and decided to scroll Yelp and we came up with Chamoun's Way (I liked Michael Jackson's music in the 80's - IYKYK). It was a very decent meal. We had: - Crunchy Chicken Fingers - good but a bit dry - Hummus - tasty but not the best we have had - Labneh - tasty - Baba Ganoush - good with a nice smokey flavor - Cauliflower Buds - very good - Chamoun's Healthy Wrap - tasty - Chaumoun's Specialty Salad - good - Garlic Whip - yum - Fries - good - Pickled Vegetables - tasty The food was good (not great). With all the options in the city, not sure I would order from again. read more

Sunday lunch to go - ordered the bowl with rice base. Staff were friendly but based on food unsure if they were ready to serve lunch on a sunday. Very dry chicken and beef shawarma (tbh I doubt if the staff tasted it theyd be proud or eat it themselves). Rice and sides like tomatos and cucumber were fresh. Humus was ok. Pita was not heated well either. Added kufta which was the only protein i finished but i was very hungry. Clean/neat ambiance great for dine in but I expected better food based on the yelp reviews. read more

The food tonight was exceptional! The lamb hummus was delicious. Kofta was perfectly spiced. They use great potatoes for the fries. So glad they are a staple in the neighborhood. The owners are always there making sure the food is delicious, hot and correct! This takeout or eat in is reliable and consistent and delicious. read more

Okay so I saw a review from a Lebanese person who said that this was the only place that made them feel like they were back at home and when I read that I knew I had to try this place. This is a fast casual sort of place, but there's plenty of seating if you want to dine in. Healthy Bowl - aka the platter is essentially the thing to get unless you're looking for a sandwich type of thing which they also have. I've ordered takeout from here 3 times already, twice in one week. If you like Mediterranean/Lebanese food, you're going to love the food here. The garlic whip has such intense flavor. The babaganoush as well, with a really nice smokiness. Everything just tastes so fresh and next level. Like this is not your average takeout spot. The feta was nice and crumbly and strong tasting. The lemon tahini is a delicious addition to the fluffy, soft rice. I will say the only thing somewhat negative thing I'll say is that the anytime i've gotten the chicken (shawarma or kebab) it's been kind of tough. Not sure if it's because I get it take out and it cooks more in the tray before I dig into it 15 minutes later, but the beef/lamb mix was delicious. The thin, soft bread is the perfect accompaniment. Their stuffed grape leaves were also delicious and plump. I mean needless to say i will be back. Keep doing great work Chamoun's Way! read more

Not only is this place the best Shawarma in the Upper East Side, I will go ahead and say this is the best Shawarma in all of New York. This is the closest you will get to a traditional shawarma from Lebanon. The two brother who own Chamoun's Way are two of the nicest guys you will ever meet. They are also so friendly and welcoming. You will not be disappointed with the quality and quantity of the food they serve here. I work in the area and anyone who knows the area, knows there area ton of food options, but for me, there is only one Chamoun's Way. read more
