"At Qanoon, you’ll eat beautifully plated mounds of makloubeh and mahshi in a cozy townhouse with a rotating playlist of Middle Eastern artists. This is one of the few Palestinian restaurants in Manhattan, and it should be your go-to spot on the island for Palestinian home cooking with generous amounts of olive oil. We especially like the musakhan, also known as sumac chicken, which sits on top of a pita and transforms it into an unforgettable piece of bread soaked in the chicken’s juices." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, sonal shah
