Ayat Bushwick

I love everything about this place. I love how warm it is on the walk in just because of their brick oven. I love the shrimp skewers, they season it so good! the pistachio paradise pizza is just wow! My taste buds have never experienced anything like it! I look forward to going back again each time because they are consistent with their dishes.

The moment I walked in, I felt warmth; the music, the atmosphere, the people. I came here with my besties and we had a FEAST. We thoroughly enjoyed the falafel, chicken schwarma, Muhammara, salata filiastini, and UNLIMITED pita. The vibes were infectious. We finished dinner off with a delicious coffee. I know i sound dramatic, but it was just that good. 100/10! Also shoutout to our wonderful server, Sam! She made us feel welcome the moment we arrived until our departure. Give it a try, you won't be sorry! 🍉🍉

Ayat, can only be described as a euphoric dining experience. This restaurant has quickly become a favorite among friends in the city. The atmosphere is incomparable, cozy enough for conversation but busy enough to hear the laughter and joy around you. The food is indescribable, beautifully seasoned with unforgettable flavor. The staff is also incredibly kind, and very thoughtful in their service. Some menu highlights were the halloumi watermelon salad (truly life changing), the Pistachio Paradise Pizza, and the Chicken Shawarma. All dishes were amazing, but these were each unforgettable. Ayat is the spot to go if you want a unique and outstanding experience in a homey environment with beautiful ambiance. This is a must-try restaurant, I’ll be taking every visitor I have!

Everything was flavorful and big portioned! I’d love to come with a big group next time so I can try more of their dishes. It was so reasonable for this quality and quantity, BYOB was also a plus. So happy this place is in Bushwick!

I had such a wonderful experience at Ayat! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for both a casual night out or a special dinner. Our server, Yulisa, made the experience even better. She was so attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and checked in at just the right moments without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great time. I’ll definitely be coming back soon — everything from the service to the food was amazing!

Pretty nice experience overall. Very warm and welcoming inside. The staff is a little standoffish they didn't make any conversation which was off-putting but my friend and I had a good time together. BYOB is nice too. I'll definitely come back to try more of the food.

I came in last Friday and had an amazing experience. I was lucky enough to have Taylor and Sam as my hostess/waitress and both were phenomenal. They provided impeccable service and I was extremely happy with everything. I spoke to the manger Levis after who was also exceptional and just overall very impressed with all of the staff at this location. They made a great experience even better :)

The service from Lissette was excellent – very kind and attentive the whole time. The food was delicious and different, full of flavor and beautifully served. I loved the pita bread, so soft and fresh. I tried the Hibiscus Margarita (the purple drink with mint) and it was amazing, super refreshing and unique. My dish was the Mixed Platter, a perfect combination of chicken, lamb, yellow rice, and veggies – everything was spectacular! Definitely an experience worth repeating. 💚
