"A Lebanese fast-casual restaurant inside Backyard Bar and Billiards serving shawarma crunchwraps and more." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A Lebanese East Village counter-service spot famous for its knafeh pancake, a creative twist on a Middle Eastern pastry dessert. The pancake features kataifi, cheese, and is topped with blueberries and maple-rose syrup." - Bettina Makalintal
"A fast-casual Lebanese restaurant in the East Village known for its Lebanese fusion menu." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A Lebanese food stand within the market was among the booths unaffected by the fire at Broadway and 36th Street and will continue to stay open." - Emma Orlow
"Opened by Smorgasburg veteran Antony Nassif, the kitchen leans global — offering chicken and lamb shawarma or chicken piri piri — and showcases a rare NYC take on lamb birria ($25). The lamb birria is transformed by putting braised and shredded lamb into markouk — a Lebanese bread that’s “big and round like a spare tire.” A cup of dipping broth comes alongside, which “tastes more like a French consommé than a Mexican one.” The recommended way to eat it: “Tear it apart with your hands, dip, and enjoy!”" - Robert Sietsema
