My hubby used to work in Yonkers and was bragging about this place. Fast forward to last week when…read morewe happened to be driving through Yonkers and were hungry. This place does not disappoint! We ordered the falafel sandwiches and they were outta this world. Pitas stuffed full of moist fresh falafel and delicious sauces. If I wasn't so full I'd order more stuff. The staff is friendly and warm. They have a few tables for a quick meal and it's clean.

The staff were friendly and accommodated my curiosity when I asked what the "red paste" was; it was red pepper hummus and I asked them to add it to the top of my pita. Now for the food itself; this was a really good pita sandwich. The chicken was cooked well, all the ingredients seemed fresh, and it was a nice change from the usually "middle eastern" style of chicken in pita. Don't get me wrong, the middle eastern pita sandwich is still my "go to", but this pita will also be in my take-out lunch rotation. You should give this place a try.

Everything was fresh, made at the time of ordering- so fries were hot and crispy, falafel was the same as well. Great consistency and flavor on the falafel. It's a small shop with a few tables. It's very clean and inviting. It was quiet when I stopped by but numerous to-go and catering orders were being picked up. Service was kind and reasonable especially considering everything was made fresh. I will be back for sure.

As a chef, I do not say this lightly. Dunya in Waterbury is a gem…read more Whenever my wife and I are anywhere near the area, we make it a point to stop. It is not just convenient. It is intentional. The food, the market, the people, the energy of the place all make it worth the trip every single time. The flavors here are deeply rooted in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and you can taste that authenticity in every bite. The hummus is silky and perfectly balanced with tahini and lemon. The baba ganoush carries real smoky depth. The chicken kebabs are juicy and seasoned all the way through. The shawarma is warm, aromatic, and layered with spice. The falafel is crisp outside, vibrant and herbaceous inside. My personal favorite is the Iraqi Chicken Sandwich. It is absolutely phenomenal. The chicken is tender, boldly seasoned, and packed with flavor. Every bite is balanced and satisfying. It is the kind of sandwich that stays on your mind long after you leave. Everything is halal and incredibly fresh. The place is always busy, which tells you everything. The food turns over quickly. The products in the market turn over quickly. There are always people picking up takeout and others shopping the shelves. And the market itself is a treasure. Authentic meats, cheeses, sausages, dairy products, dry goods, teas, dried beans, spices, specialty ingredients and more, all reflecting the flavors of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. These are items you simply will not find in conventional grocery stores. If you love to cook, you will walk out inspired. If you have never been before, do not be intimidated. Walk in. The staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. There is space to sit and enjoy your meal, and they do a huge takeout business as well. Dunya is easily one of the best places in Waterbury and the surrounding areas. Authentic flavor. Unique products. Warm hospitality. I highly recommend it.

Even has potato in it and (insider tip) it's amazing for digestion if ya know what I mean. The hummus is also good, though a little heavy on the cumin, but that sabich sandwich is incredible.

I got the Golden Chai (hot), the Israeli Cigars and the Shawarma Bowl. With tax and tip my bill alone was close to $45. 20% Gratuity is added to groups over 4. The Israeli Cigars were tasty with the sauce but not sure if the 5 piece app is worth $12. The Shawarma bowl was good but definitely could have used more sauce. The Golden Chai was so creamy and full of spice. So delicious on a cold day. There were no complaints from anyone at our table.

I adore the cauliflower pita, and it gets loaded with every yummy topping you can think of! The perfect mix of flavors, including a little spice.

Both pitas were good, filling, and as others have mentioned, I also forgot to ask for sauces they offer only if asked, which might have taken the pita from a 4 to a 5 (unlikely). Solid spot for lunch and it gets busy, so get there a bit early to avoid the line and the rush when assembling your order.
