This is a very nice family business, well organized and serves the best Shawerma in NY, I strongly recommend to defiantly stop by and eat here, The Most Important Thing is The Prices Are really CHEAP. Love this place read more

Ruzana - Kebab Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We tried for the first time the Lamb liver sandwich,Mansaf, Falafel, today and the food was great, freshly cooked very tasty and well presented. The owner and staff were attentive and service overall was good. Overall a good meal and great value we will certainly be going back. read more

Very cute / small corner shop - food was super fresh and really delicious. Menu was not vast - basic middle eastern halal food offerings. Service & staff was wonderful and prompt. Pricing was ok considering that they probably can give more quantity for platter. Do not plan on bringing lots of people here as there is limited seating - good for a small gathering of 4. Also be prepared to search out parking like for most places in nyc. But overall nice place for a casual bite to eat. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

I made an order for variety sandwiches for 6 people for pick up. I understand the place is relatively new so it might take them some time to get themselves together, therefore I'm giving them 3 stars. The décor is earthy and cute. I didn't find anything special about their food other than the Saj bread. The salads weren't so fresh. I had a heartburn afterwards (maybe that's just my sensitive stomach lately). In any case, it wasn't a horrible experience yet nothing wow for me to go back. read more

Hole in the wall in Brooklyn but has awesome fresh authentic food. I had the schwarma sandwich and it was delicious. Usually I am not adventurous with food but this was amazing! read more

I'm updating this review because after coming here for the millionth time, today was very disappointing. The new staff didn't bring the food to our table and instead just put her hand out till we would get up and get our food. I also asked her for olive oil and she said "for what?". I told her it was for the hummus which had almost no olive oil and she said oh there's no olive oil on it? The service was overall very bad today and did not like that we had to get up every few minutes to get our food :/ read more

The food was amazing. I recommend the Arabic sandwich platter, any of the pies, and falafel. Amazing is all I can say.

I ordered wraps once and had them delivered and they were great. The other day my friend ordered a grilled chicken and rice platter and the chicken was overdone but everything else was fine. The food is generally very nicely seasoned. read more

Best Shawarma I've ever had. Went with a friend, and we shared the Shawarma platter, a falafel sandwich and tabouli salad. Everything was delicious and service was super nice. We sat outside and it was lovely. Go!! read more

Me and my friend came here last night and we loved it!!! Everything was amazing! We had Arabic shawarma platter and hummus on the side. Everything was authentic the homemade bread was thin flat and so soft I couldn't get enough, hummus was soooo good. The shawarma was so authentic and flavorful. If you're looking for a place that's authentic and has that homemade food like your momma used to make this is the place to go. Trust me you won't be disappointed. read more

They have the best shawerma!! They deliver the food fresh, clean, and on time!! Highly recommend!!

We went to Ruzana today and loved their chicken shawarma. It was fresh and delicious and the fries were crispy. Great service, thank you!

Delicious food, reasonable prices and accommodating staff- what more could you ask for ?!

I really wanted to like it after reading all the good reviews however after the first bite of rice, it just reminded me of horses. Like the scent of horse stables. I tried another bite and just couldn't stand the taste. Hummus and meat was average. Will give them another chance and try the sandwich next time. read more

thanks to a good yelp review, we tried this lovely place! we had the chicken shwarama sandwich, chicken kebab platter, lentil soup, tabbouleh, many fresh juices, and turkish coffee. everything was absolutely delicious and fresh, and the service was above and beyond. such friendly people! i wish i lived closer - i'd be here every week! read more

This is definitely my new favorite sandwich spot in Bay Ridge. I went to see what the buzz was about and it was worth the hype. I had both the chicken and meat shawarma sandwiches. They make there sandwiches on traditional Arabic super thin bread with pickles and sauce. Everything was on point from the seasoning to the cut of the meat. I strongly recommend this place. read more

Great Arabic Chicken Shawerma. Nice place very clean. Staff are very nice and friendly. Absolutely recommend it.

Had the Arabic meat shawarma and a side order of hummus. Hands down some of the best middle eastern food in bay ridge, and I have tried quite a few places. Hummus was fresh and you can taste the ingredients. The lamb was tasty and delicious. And the big surprise was how good the French fries were, they have a great seasoning on them with a little kick. I was very satisfied and will order again. read more

Love their fries and their chicken shawarma sandwich. So much flavor! And their workers are all so sweet. Plus the place looks very traditional and I love that. Definitely worth your time! read more

Best chicken and lamb shawarma platter ever! To die for! The employees are sweet and the owner is so nice! Been coming here since it opened and still satisfied! read more

We found it on yelp while we were checking other place, and we were lucky. One of the best chicken shawarma I have ever had in US. The staff was so friendly and professional. The owner welcomed us and served us himself. We will visit it whenever we are close by. I highly recommend it. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Their Arabic style meat sandwiches are delicious and I can eat their coleslaw all day... the staff is so sweet and I honestly just love coming here! Definitely a family favorite. read more

Decent food but its expensive and the service is terrible. I waited 45 minutes for a falafel plate and chicken shawarma. It wasn't busy, they just forgot my order. The worst is they tried to act like nothing happened. read more

I came there bc of the outdoor seating. The cashier girl was so unpleasant that it left a sour taste in my mouth. In 20 years of living in Nyc I never felt so unwelcome. Also re falafel I asked the guy if it was hot and he said no it was warm. I kindly asked him to make a new one. He was kinda mad or upset and ignored me for another 10 minutes doing other things. Never again. I can get my falafel fix from a truck across the bank. Simply disgrace this place. Empty not a good sign either. Food was so so. read more

My favorite restaurant in NY. If you want to try an authentic middle eastern food, you need to eat here. This is great restaurant for everyone and caters to all walks of life. read more

Don't ever order from them online. Waited an hour extra on top of the delivery time provided and order never showed up. Customer service was the worst. When I called second time she told me driver would be here in 10 minutes. I told her you said that 40 minutes ago and she said "yeah i know"... waited 30 more minutes - still nothing. RIDICULOUS! Will never order from you guys again. read more

Don't waste your time here. Go to Taheni their shawarma is packed with more meat and actual veggies for a dollar cheaper.

Cool place with nice authentic middle eastern sandwiches . The way they're supposed to be made .

If I could give this place zero stars I would. When I first ordered shawarma from here the food was great. Place was new back then. I decided to order food just now, and I must say I was very disappointed. There was no shawarma meat just all fat. It wasn't edible at all. I felt like I paid $9 each for a piece of bread since that was the only thing I could consume. Horrible place. I can never understand why any restaurant would serve this type of poor quality food to their customers. We're the one that keep you in business. We're the one that can destroy your business. Regrettably you don't care much about your reputation when you served and knowingly delivered me this garbage. I use to recommend people to your restaurant, now I won't. read more

Tried Ruzana for the 1st time today. I had the arabic chicken shawarma and a zaatar pie. So in love with the garlic sauce but honestly everything I tried was delicious. The meal was big enough for me to have 2 servings. Customer service was good, nice and friendly staff. Cool decor. Whenever I'm visiting Bay Ridge again I will definitely stop by for a bite. read more

Well this was a nice surprise! Was in the mood for hummus, so I searched Yelp for the best in Bay Ridge and found Ruzana. Walked over and got a falafel sandwich to stay, and some hummus with extra bread to go. This place is super clean, nicely decorated, and the falafel is AWESOME! The bedouin bread is really unique- and after making the wrap, they put it on the flat top and griddle it for a bit, making the outside nice and crispy. The falafel balls were perfectly fried, the sandwich wasn't sloppy, and was all tasty. The bread is so good I bought 4 extra loaves to bring home and I'm already snacking on it. Nice and chewy, but light and fresh. Will definitely be back for more! Good luck Ruzana. read more

I'm so happy I discovered this little gem in bay ridge. The food is quite possibly the best in all of New York too. Generous portions for decent prices and their hummus is something you absolutely must try if you do go. I hope to go through their entire menu little by little because they are that good! read more

If you are looking for shawarma that tastes like the one you had in your childhood in a Middle Eastern country this is almost certainly the closest you will find in NYC. What makes this place even more special, though, is the owner/manager. He is so welcoming to customers that he makes you feel like family. This is the second time I came here and both times he gave my friend and I some Arabic dessert on the house. I'm looking forward to trying the manaeesh here. Also as one suggestion I would like to see lamb offered here. Wonderful addition to Bay Ridge. read more

I don't know how any good reviews came out of this place. Everything is old and stale. Will never again waste my money here. Would of rather went to McDonalds around the corner. read more

Great Ambiance, makes you feel like you're in Palestine having food with the Locals. Very friendly and funny staff, good people. Chicken shawarma is the go to option, it's so delicious! read more

My new favorite shawarma place in the neighborhood. The garlic sauce is a winner, it's not overpowering and I feel like I could put it on anything. The Arabic chicken shawarma is my go-to, and is excellent, they slice the sandwich into pieces and serve it with crispy seasoned fries. Also tried the meat shawarma platter and it was also excellent, flavorful with a nice char on it. Service is polite and friendly. I will be back here many times! read more

Nice decor awesome food you got a smile on this guys face that's for sure I had the shawarma and the hummus and that's all it took to hit the spot not bad price either read more

Came here for lunch for the first time and waited to order but all the employees were too busy chit chatting and joking with each other to greet me or ask to take my order. I stood at the front counter while everyone just went about their business without acknowledging that theres a customer waiting to order. There was probably 1 or 2 other customers there so it wasn't like there was a busy lunch crowd. It doesn't take a lot to say Hi and ask if a customer needed some help. I ended up walking out after about 10 minutes of not being acknowledged. Theres lots of other good halal spots in the area so if these guys would rather socialize then serve their customers they will lose out. read more

Amazing place. Great ambiance and the food is so authentic and delicious. The staff goes above and beyond for a great experience. The grape leaves are a MUST HAVE. Nice sized portions as well. A great addition to the neighborhood! My friends and i are there often and never disappointed. read more

this is an ok place i give it a 2 star because the food misses flavor and i saw something i did not like a bit i saw a worker using a towel to clean the floor but then he got up from the floor and cleaned the table with the same towel without cleaning it i do not recommend but maybe they will come to their senses. read more
