Intimate, stylish Palestinian restaurant with flavorful dishes
"Occupying an elegant townhouse in western Chelsea, Qanoon slings distinguished Palestinian food. Many of the short dishes called mezze have rarely been produced so well in this area, including muhammara, hummus, baba ghanoush, and labneh configured as orbs for dipping. Main dishes are complete dinners, best of which is makloubeh, a lamb and eggplant casserole." - Robert Sietsema
"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
"Qanoon is a Palestinian restaurant in Chelsea that offers a $60 dinner on weekdays and Sundays, and a $60 Sunday brunch. The three-course meal might feature octopus over hummus, sumac chicken, and knafeh for dessert." - Robert Sietsema
"Stop by Qanoon to eat beautifully plated mounds of makloubeh and mahshi in a cozy townhouse with a rotating playlist of Middle Eastern artists. This should be your go-to spot in Manhattan for Palestinian home cooking with generous amounts of olive oil. They’re really into farm-fresh produce here, but there’s no need to order a salad for it—most dishes involve some sort of colorful smattering of fruits or vegetables. 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." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, matt tervooren
"His restaurant joins Palestinian-owned Tanoreen in Brooklyn and Qanoon in Chelsea among others." - Melissa McCart
