Saw this place pop up in my Yelp businesses updates email on friday and be came quite curious about the Chicken Musakhan that was featured. So that evening I found Ruzana on Grub Hub and orderd it. This was the first time I had this dish and I love getting to try something now. It was on the bone chicken with Carmelized Onions,Sumac and lots of other wonderful Middle Eastern Spices,topped with slivered almonds on this fluffy flatbread called Taboon. It is a beloved dish of Palestine and I can see why,the chicken was perfectly cooked and the sweeness of the onions mingled magically with the spices and the crunch of the almonds added texture. The Taboon was soaked in the juices and crispy on the edges and soft and fluffy in middle. The only hiccup was the place doesnt use Grub Hub drivers and I was unable to track (which sets off my OCD), after several minutes past last expected arrival I called restaurant to see if it had left and the lady was having a hard time understanding,asking me if I wanted to order and then saying no order had been placed with my name. I asked again are you sure and gave my address no no orders was her reply. Just as I was about to figure out how to get my money back from Grubhub the delivery guy showed up. So that was a bit of unnecesary stress I will chalk up to a miscommunication tho I may decide to dine in next time to avoid this issue.

Wow, what a hidden gem!! As a Palestinian American, it's rare to find authentic good Palestinian food, so when I come across this wonderful restaurant, I was fortunate! First of all, the ambience is so cute and charming with some tables inside and outside. They do lots of take out and catering-tells you how good the food and service is! Abdel-Rahman was so professional, friendly and accommodating. He answered all my questions and the chef was so friendly and handled all my allergy requests like a professional! Everything came out of the kitchen with love and amazing presentation. So much detail to spices and taste to ensure perfection. They don't take shortcuts and focus on quality and flavor. This will now be our regular place for Palestinian food and also just a wonderful place for veggie options for me. Plenty of meat and seafood dishes as well that look so delicious. Ruzana is authentic and as close as it gets to how my mom cooks. Super clean establishment with charm in every corner. Thank you chef and Abdul-Rahman! See later this week!

Ample servings of fresh food. Lots of meat. Great salads. We had a kebab and it was huge. Well spiced and cooked to order. We had the labneh and that was fresh and huge. The service is good. The guy behind the counter was friendly and fast. They have a number of tables inside and out. Unfortunately, too cold to sit outside. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. I wish they had better fries and better hot sauce (right now no middle eastern version, just American). Also, when we first sat down, no one was there. But then people came in were not social distancing or wearing masks, so maybe it's best to take out here.

4 star food, 1 star off for the fact that no one in the kitchen was wearing a mask, and I had to ask our server specifically to wear one as a well. Safety is safety, regardless of food quality! The babaganoush was my favorite - drenched in olive oil with spices laden on top. Paired equally well with the complimentary pita as well as the French fries that come with most of the platters. The Arabic falafel plater was not bad - the flavor of the falafel patties did not "wow" me to be honest, although dipping in the fresh hummus, served with a few pieces of whole chickpeas still present, partially made up for it.

Amaaaazing, delicious food, and wonderful service!! we ordered the lamb kebab platter, Arabic meat shawarma platter, baba ganoush, grape leaves! So fresh, flavorful, and delicious!! LOVED the white sauce it came with! The service was great--they were all so sweet and kind! Can't wait to come back!! Thank you so much! !!!

This place is a gem! Food there is sooo tasty and the portions are big that you will most likely end up taking leftovers home (also a plus not to cook the next day!) Prices are very reasonable and honestly with food that good, other places would charge you waaaay more. I went there with my family and a small group of friends and we ordered a bunch of stuff ( Shawarma platter, Mansaf platter, burger and fries, Msakhan and stuffed grape leaves) and some appetizers salad, hummus and fries, Tabbouleh. Everything I tried was good and tasty, staff were very welcoming and friendly. On a side note, we noticed they were packing a huge order to go and out of curiosity we asked and came to know that they cater events and parties and that order was a stuffed lamb! It looked huge Highly recommend the place, a must try if you ever were in bay ridge area, Brooklyn.

Casual sit down restaurant. Food is so fresh and delicious. Everything is very well seasoned. Rice is fluffy. One of the better falafels I've had. Chicken tender and juicy. I can't say how much I enjoyed this meal. The price is very reasonable as well. If you want Palestinian/middle eastern food give them a shot.

Chicken Shawarma was delicious and I loved the white sauce that came with it. Inside the restaurant looked cute and they have nice outdoor seating. Only thing I would say is that the service was a little bit slow.

This place has real potential but they are too inconsistent. I have had few meals that have been really strong, but I have also had meals that were un-eatable. Yesterday, I ordered a chicken shawarma plate and it was clear that whatever chicken they served me was chopped off ends off the rotator hours before it landed on my plate. It was dry and tough. The portion of chicken to rice was also way too little. I have had plates from them in the past which were quite good and quite fresh. However, lately I have been disappointed. For this reason, I give them three stars as opposed to two. I think if they live up to their potential, they can be quite good. read more

Yesterday's experience at Ruzana was a bit of a let down. I first tried their shawarma sandwhich when they opened last year. I was seriously amazed at how delicious it was. Every thing about the shawarma was excellent. When it comes to shawarmas, I always get chicken and lamb mixed, and for Ruzana the favors worked perfectly together. Also, I'm so used to having shawarma on regular arabic pita bread, but Ruzana uses a different, more thinner bread. It was awesome. I couldn't wait to come back. I especially liked how they had their own twist to the traditional shawarma sandwhich. Finally, I got my chance to have Ruzana yesterday and I must say I was vastly disappointed. Just as another Yelper mentioned, their shawarma sandwhiches do not have the same consistency they had when they first opened. My chicken was dry and overcooked. Same for the lamb. It lacked the same flavor it once had just a year ago. In fact, I witnessed the cook use meat that was already presliced. Every shawarma place I've been to slices it's meat fresh off the spit. Maybe I caught Ruzana on an off night. I am willing to give them another shot only because my first experience with them was so great. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. read more

On Monday 12/9/19 night I went out to eat at this place and the same night when I got home I was throwing up and I had diarrhea. I was in severe pain nausea back to back in the bathroom because of this reason the next morning I was in the hospital, I had to do some tests and the doc said I have food poisoning I do not recommend anyone to go to this place because they are dirty they have bad bacteria and they don't clean anything! Restaurant should be clean for people to eat well and not even that the food was expensive!

Some of the tastiest shawarma I have had in recent memory. You can tell this place is the real deal because there was a woman making the bread wraps in the kitchen. The amount of flavor in the beef / lamb shawarma is incredible. Also the bread wrap is delicious. It isn't too thick, so when they put the wrap on the grill to finish it off for you, it becomes crispy. read more

Incredible!!! Everything was stellar: the qudsia, the musabaha, the French fries, even. The staff is so friendly and kind.

I have tried their crepes, the pistachio latte, pani puri, and some juices- consistently yummy stuff. The chicken wraps are good too- but be warned, they tend to season things on the spicier side. Give Kitchen Cuisine a try.

Seeing "peri" in the name made me curious so I had to give it a try. It's a small restaurant which can seat no more than 10 people. The person taking my order was so polite and patience. He took his time with me as I looked at the menu and asked many questions about the sauces. I settled for the Jerked wings and peri peri rice. What really blew me away was the rice! It's a spicy seasoned rice with south African spices. The chicken wings were okay and when dipped in the garlic sauce it was great. After eating that meal, I immediately went back and placed another order for my mom so she could try it. My fav thing on the menu is the jerked chicken breast and peri peri rice. Its a great, clean meal to have on the go.

Came earlier today and the lady working at the front (Brown hair, 50's & prob Moroccan) was the rudest worker I've ever met! First off, she doesn't understand how to take orders, my friends & I had to repeat things multiple times in both English & Arabic & she was looking at us like we were the problem. My friend simply asked to sub the rice for fries and when she received her plate she didn't receive either. When my friend went to simply ask about it she proceeded to yell & insult her! This was nothing to argue about. She crumbled up the receipt showing fries because she knew she wrong. She was talking about us while we were eating to the chef & he put music on full volume so we can't hear the disgusting things she's saying. I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

My recent experience with this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. Food Quality: Every dish was prepared to perfection with evident attention to detail and authentic flavors.

Service Excellence: The staff demonstrated professionalism and efficiency, consistently delivering friendly and prompt service that enhanced the overall dining experience.
