Food and service was excellent. Portions are big. Hummus and Baba Ghannouj was excellent and also the cheese rolls. Philly cheese steak was excellent and my daughters made there own chicken wraps that was excellent and they gave us a generous portion of fries. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Authentic Lebanese food, desserts, and people. Dined at Chamoun with a couple of friends and was beyond satisfied with the quick service and serving sizes. The place really fills a niche for light traditional Lebanese food in the heart of the city. The atmosphere was incredibly cosey, and it felt like a classic hangout spot back in Beirut with the way the staff interacted with us. We also had Kunafah for dessert, and it was freshly made on the premises! Definitely pop by and give them a try.<br><br>Update: came by again and had the chicken shawarma sandwich. Incredible. Best in NYC by far.

Amazing Lebanese food and a wonderful experience. The dishes were fresh, authentic, and full of flavor—from the mezze to the grilled meats, everything was perfectly prepared. The hummus, kebabs, and warm fresh pita were outstanding. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Truly a five-star experience—highly recommended for anyone who loves great Lebanese cuisine.Amazing Lebanese food and a wonderful experience.

We had an amazing lunch with delicious shawarma-juicy chicken pita wraps, falafel the size of your toddlers hand (huge), lamb kababs, and authentic home made crisp turnip pickles. The wraps came with lots of toppings and two extra sauces (no extra charge). The garlic paste, taziki sauce, and tahini sauce was incredible. The baba ganoush tasted like the eggplant came straight off the grill. The lamb kabab was some of the most tender I’ve ever had, with true Middle Eastern flavor that felt like a home cooked meal. By far the freshest and best Arabic foods I’ve had in a long time, with great service and a spotless environment. So happy I found this gem! Very deserving of this long review.

Enjoyed a truly delightful meal here at Chamoun’s Way. We were really pleased with the portions, quality and service. We tried the veggie sampler and it was very yummy, specially the hummus and labne. The kibbeh b’laban, our main dish, was also phenomenal, served with delicious rice with vermicelli. The falafel was also remarkable, very fresh and moist - exactly as it should taste. The team was so kind, they offered us some extra hummus and desserts on the house, so unexpected and a very lovely gesture. We had a lot leftover to take home. Prices are also totally reasonable. We will come back here for sure!

If you’re looking for real Lebanese flavor in NYC, Chamoun’s Way is an absolute gem. The food is insanely fresh, packed with flavor, and tastes like it came straight out of someone’s home kitchen in Lebanon. Every bite is rich, authentic, and perfectly seasoned.<br>The shawarma is juicy, the hummus is unbelievably smooth, and the wraps are loaded with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients and actually care about the food they’re serving. The portions are generous too, so you definitely leave satisfied.<br>On top of that, the staff are super welcoming and make the whole experience even better. It has that small, cozy vibe where you instantly feel comfortable.

We have eaten at Chamoun’s 3 times now, and have been thrilled with the food every time. The stuffed grape leaves, stuffed zucchini, and hummus are favorites, but you can’t go wrong. Also, the owners are very hospitable. Highly recommend.

Chamoun's Way absolutely lived up to their incredible reviews! The food here is EXCELLENT. I recently made a large group order at work on DoorDash from Chamoun's Way; and, I cannot wait to order from them again!<br><br>I ordered the kofta with rice and baba ghanoush. The kofta was juicy and flavorful. The baba ghanoush was perfectly flavored and smoky (with the right amount of salt), and the rice was amazing. I personally think Lebanese style is the best way to have rice , and Chamoun's Way does not disappoint here! Several of my colleagues commented on how amazing their meals were, too, so the fact that Chamoun's Way can expertly prepare 30+ meals for delivery that taste great really tells you the quality of the food and taste.<br><br>After placing my order, I called and spoke with Charbal, the owner. I asked him if he could label everyone's meals, and he told me it wouldn't be a problem at all (and sent a piece of knefe on the house, which was just the kindest--and yummy!--touch).<br><br>You can tell that Chamoun's Way puts great care and love into their food and overall dining experience. I can't wait to order from here again!

A hidden gem on the upper east side! I have come here a few times and the service is always absolutely wonderful, the food is delicious and authentic and everything is just great. They are so generous with the portions and the quality is great! Attaching the picture of the stuffed zucchini order from today.

Came with my wife after a medical appointment for lunch. It was raining so we started out with a phenomenal yellow lentil soup. It had a nice kick. Then we each ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich. The flavor was good incredible. The person who took our order was patient and very nice. This is not an atmosphere place but if you want to have lunch at a very reasonable price, I highly recommend.

Ambiance (4/5): No frills space with the front windows and door open with fresh air coming into the restaurant.<br>Service (5/5): The register worker (maybe owner?) was super chill and friendly who provided suggestions and checked in on us after ordering. We also wanted to help by clearing the table but he insisted that we leave it and he’d help clean up.<br>The menu is extensive. We landed on a wrap and a plate. The chicken shawarma was better than the lamb—lamb chunks were a bit tough. It was unlimited toppings and all were very fresh. This would be a banger if their pita was better quality/ different recipe. Must get the hot sauce and tzatziki sauce was amazing. The wrap is ginormous so definitely worth the price point. Will definitely be back again!

Worth a detour. Very good, high quality homemade Lebanese food. Everything is fresh.<br>Editing to say I came back the next day that's how good it was. I wanted to try to two appetizers with my wrap and tried to see if they did small side dishes cause it's just a lunch and I can't eat that much. And they gave me a little of each on the house and didn't charge for my sugar. They're so nice! The lamb sausage is made in house and is a combo lamb and beef, that's ground soft, super juicy spicy but not hot or overwhelming like a more tender meeguez. One of the best I've had.
