Levant

Levant was a truly delightful dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a beautiful, understated elegance. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. What really stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in every dish. You could tell that everything was made with care. The portions were also generous, without being overwhelming. The dessert, a small selection of baklava, was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The delicate pastry and rich filling were simply divine. Overall, Levant offers an authentic and high-quality Lebanese dining experience. It's a fantastic spot for a special occasion or a casual dinner with friends. The owner was super welcoming and we will definitely be returning!

Delicious spot in Astoria for levantine food. Highly recommend getting the feteers, which is basically like an calzone or a huge quesadilla. There are vegetarian options and also plenty of yummy meat options. The fetters are humongous so make sure you’re sharing it with someone else (or get ready to take some home). I also ordered a Fattoush salad to add some health, and it was delicious. We came here with a large group and were able to find seating, it is not a huge restaurant though so if you have a large group, maybe come during off times. The staff were friendly and hilarious.

If I could give this place and this man more than 5 stars I would. I believe he is the owner but I’m not sure, all I know is it felt like my grandpa was taking care of us for this meal! He was so funny and kind, when he noticed we were overwhelmed with the options, he insisted we sampled every meat. The feteer was SO YUMMY! We got a half ground beef and half beef shawarma. I recommend the ground beef but if you’re a shawarma person, this is the best! We also got a half levant chicken and half chicken shawrama, the levant chicken was impeccable. THE CRAZY PART! My sister asked if he knew where we could get om ali (traditional egyptian dessert that is incredible)- he said i don’t know but i will make it for you, my treat. He whipped out the tagens and started working it. It was hands down the best om ali I’ve had and this is something i’ve loved my whole life ( it was a very nostalgic flavor). People on his crew were also incredibly sweet, they kept offering us things to sample, drinks, and pickles because they know egyptians love pickles. The absolute sweetest man, he’s extremely talented and I hope his business grows to be as big as his heart. PICS BELOW!! If you have any mediterranean/arab food in NYC, let it be levant astoria! (ask for pics of his grandkids, they’re cute!)

incredible tasty and reheats well! i tried the mixed feteer, not normally being a meat pizza kind of gal. it was actually so delicious, cheese was cheesing, and i liked the thousand island-y dipping sauce. beware, size can definitely be enough for 2 people. i came alone and had plenty of leftovers.

tried their veggie one which was filled with olive, tomatoes, peppers and generous amount of cheese, and topped with ghee. It was crispy on the outside and so flavorful! Also tried their custard feteer which was topped with powdered sugar. It was delicious! I ordered online for pickup it said about 45mins-55mins which wasn’t bad given the quality of the food! And oh they’re open until late night! Will definitely be back

It was a very satisfying meal! From the smell to the taste. The minute I walked in I knew the food was going to be delicious and it did not disappoint. I also loved how they make the food right in front of you, everything was fresh. If you’re around the neighborhood, it is a must try.

10/10 the hummus with the nuts is delicious. Generous portion sizes and amazing flavor. Great service and ambience, easy recommendation.

From the moment you step into Levant, you are greeted warmly by the staff as if you are entering a family friend's home. We ordered the mixed meats feteer at the counter and settled into our seats since we knew we were going to wait a bit (good things take time!). We entertained ourselves by switching between watching the food being made in the open kitchen and Arab Idol on the TV. While we waited, the staff handed us samples of the falafel and the fresh flat bread (both delicious). The mixed feteer was piping hot but the staff's (Mamoush?) hands were clearly unfazed since he handled it swiftly with his bare hands onto the platter. The feteer was delicious - crunchy, savory, cheesy. I'd recommend ordering the pickles with the feteer - it really helps cut some of the richness of the feteer between bites. The staff also handed us a sample of their own off-menu special feteer which had salmon which was amazing. And the SAUCES - I loved the garlic and spicy sauces. I wanted to dip the garlic sauce in everything. We were so stuffed and happy by the time we left. We cannot wait to return to try more of the baked goods and the sweet feteer. Thank you Levant for the wonderful hospitality!
