"This offshoot of David’s Brisket House right near the Grand stop on the L train makes great pastrami sandwiches in three sizes. But the well-browned brisket and gravy at Pastrami Masters is just as desirable; ask that the gravy be served on the side and pour it on the sandwich with each bite. But to be truthful, the Middle Eastern food that shares the menu is even better, from a miraculous mujadara that’s strictly vegetarian though you swear it tastes like meat, to a baba ganoush substantially better than any other in Williamsburg, to a chicken shawarma platter that provides enough food for two. An uncrowded dining room makes for a leisurely lunch or dinner." - Eater Staff
"Find an excellent Lebanese menu at this East Williamsburg restaurant which debuted a little over a year ago, filled with chef Wafa Chami’s fifth-generation family recipes. Here, takeout is the focus, though there are a few tables for dishes that include an Arab iteration of moussaka, flavorful chicken and lamb shawarma, and sandwiches on ultra-thin pita that are made punchy with pink pickled turnips." - Alexandra Ilyashov
