Excellent experience. Great food served in hearty portions. The only suggestion I would make is an expanded salad bar.
Not only is the food great, the people they have working here are sweethearts. Kind, helpful and professional! Highly recommend checking it out when youre in need of a good meal or a friendly conversation 🤩🇮🇱
I used to always buy form them mixed grill and veggies, I would have a big plate of meat and an other big plate of veggies, the new management changed the quantity This is ridiculous I got this plate for $46. Ahuvas sold out to some people that ripping people off.
Would give a zero if it were an option. Terrible food.
Awesome baby chicken Sharwma. Great toppings. Even fried zucchini.
I tried this place already with a friend and I am hooked since then. I enjoyed the great mood and delicious dishes and beverages. They never disappoint.
Good food. Late hours. Nice people
Food good..check your bag as 0 for 3 with us leaving things out..
Simply the best food ever. No need for constructive criticism for this restaurant. I always bring my students here before their road test for a good meal if they are hungry. They are sure to pass the test on a full stomach. Thank you guys for an amazing food service. You should surely stick to doing what you are great at!
Nice Shawarma and Israeli joint with great food
Amazing place, great food , mashgiach (cashier) is very nice person
Service was excellent even though theres only 2 behind the counter. Food was phenomenal and took me right back to the middle East.
Very impressed. Quality food, large portions, excellent service. I couldnt ask for more. Great job!
The service was quick and courteous. Thats always a win for me!
Good food fresh great schwarma
Service needs improvement food is not bad. Service is what kills an establishment. Food is overpriced. Menu I was looking at was a dine-in menu and of course I did not know that until I got my food. Cashier seemed more concerned about her phone. She did not ask if I was dining in or ordering take out. She did not even ask if I wanted a drink. Food came in take out dish with no salad and pita. I asked for salad and she said “dine in only” without our even properly engaging bc she was busy with her phone. Seemed like I paid he same price for dine out verses dine in... which was expensive for what looks like a take out establishment. Prices are restaurant dine in prices.
The food is good the service is very slow a lot of times you dont have time to waste
Great food, fast service, and open late (latest open kosher place in the vicinity)
I come here all the time with family to eat we love the food we love the company
Great food great service fast and delicious
This place is amazing great food and service reminds me of Israel
The food was GOOD for a first timer, however the service was poor and a bit standoffish!
The place serves large dishes and for reasonable prices. friendly staff. Great work.
Food is really good. Very reasonable prices. And the gentleman behind the counter is very nice and friendly.
I really enjoy this place. The food is tasty and the portions are generous.
My family loves this place! It is their go to when they dont like whats for dinner or I dont feel like making it
This was always my go to place whenever we came to town to visit friends! We stopped the first day and always the day we left. Yesterday I was so disappointed I can’t even explain properly! Our waitress was not knowledgeable at all. I was brought a warm can of drink...no cup, no ice, no straw. I politely asked for them. She messed up our order, but more importantly, the food was so disappointing! The falafel was under cooked, the pita “freshly out of the oven” was kinda warm on one side and the other was cold, and literally fell apart as you tried to tear it in half. The French fries! Limpy somewhat cooked. I’m not sure what’s happened, except she said there was a new owner, but next time I’m in town my $65 will be spent somewhere else.
They serve large dishes and for fair prices. friendly employees. Will visit again.
Excellent service, very clean and everything is fresh
Until recently known as Ahuvas Grill this restaurant has been a staple of valley stream lynbrook community. Kosher and under the vaad of the five towns this location has recently changed its name to Laffa Grill & Bar. Restaurant features mainly middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine with a twist here and there.We came here on a Wednesday night before Passover and although it wasnt packed the gills it was clear that the restaurant was understaffed and unable to keep up the work flow. our waiter seemed overwhelmed and couldnt handle situation appropriately. but that said the food was kind of tasty and actually had lots flavor the yemminite soup was delicious, salad platters and hummus were actually pretty good and the pitas and laffas were great.We ordered several of the house specials that were unique and interesting and highly recommended.a raw good experience and I wont judge it by the current situation however I do expect the next time itll be better service.
The food is of low quality. Very bland and just not very fresh tasting. And Ive been there on 3 occasions just to give them the benefit of the doubt. I will absolutely not eat there again. Ahuvas Grill Express is a much better option if youre looking for the quick sandwich, as the Shwarma in their satellite location is far tastier.
Terrible service and foodWe threw it as soon as we taste itNot worth dollar
Food was fresh and delicious but the service could have been bettter. We were a large party and they seemed overwhelmed. A bit pricey.
Had dinner there. The restaurant was very hot. Hotter inside than outside (80 degrees). The food was okay. The ambiance was okay. The service was horrible. Unlikely to return again. For a quick meal, not worth it.
Best shawarma place in my experience. 🔥🔥 Have tried tons of spots in NY and no one comes close to Ahuva’s. The food and service are on point 👌🏻 - Sally the manager always treats everyone with respect and goes above and beyond to make sure best service is delivered. 🙏🏻
Great place, great food, friendly owner and staff.
The food was delicious and I loved every bite of it. They also serve the food really fast and there is terrific service. Thank you
I ate at Ahuvas for the first time. Place is very clean, very friendly and food is amazingly delicious and portions are very generous.I LOVE IT.❤ May HaShem bless Ahuvas !!!Five stars not enough to describe my experience .
Food is good, location is not very eat-in friendly...
Amazing food!!!Great space inside.Friendly wait staff.Its like family in there.And the food, it makes memories come alive.I love the falafel, the hummus, the soups oh my g-d!!Im coming back and suggesting people.
Great food! Clean and fresh.
Very good food. Clean and tasty.
Love this place, quick and delicious, and the pickled salad bar is an added bonus.
Falafel was yellow inside. The best falafels are dark green. This one had not much taste.
Food was good, staff was friendly, would go back
My first time here , have to drive 49 minutes in order to get there, not bathroom to use
Best Shawarma in the five towns and other foods are really delicious hertzel the manager gives the best service
Food is tastefully prepared and service is professional and friendly. Perfect if you are on the way to the airport or coming back from a long day at work.
I like the grilled chicken sandwiches here. I dont come here very often, though, since the food is a bit pricey.
Like Nick said, dont go there if you dont belong to their circle. Im Jewish and I rather eat at the Chinese place. Also, the laffa sandwich was 70% bread and for the cost itd be nice to have a better value.
I love this place. They always hook you up. Best tasting shawarma in the 5 towns. I always leave satisfied with my shawarma. And the deals are amazing definetly reccomend the baby chicken shawarma its heaven and not to expensive
Wonderful experience, best tasting shawarma I ate in NYMust try , you feel like it’s Israel without the flight
Love this place! Came for lunch a few times with my husband everything was fresh and delicious! Service was great and I wish they were closer!
Great food and really excellent service
I loved their falafel ..very good flavors that included the salad bar! For the price I thought it was a great deal!
They can put little more meat in the sandwich. Quality really good and excellent sides.Also the counter seating is really uncomfortable.
More of a takeout good food
This place is by far the best is Israeli food in New York
Excellent food. very ffresh
Food is great ,,service is courteous
New owners. Food still great. Fast service. Cant ask for more than that. We will be going back.
Bad! Just avoidm shwarma of any kind was bad and overpriced. Yuck. Good salads tho
The food is great, I work at the high school but like R BT posted on this review. The young counter girl with glasses during the day is NASTY AND DISRESPECTFUL! I posted this because I feel bad for the owner, losing business for something not his fault. Please re train her for manners.
STAY AWAY ; HOUND YOU DOWN FOR TIPS - BAD SERVICE AND BAD FOODTHE FOOD IS SUB-PAR AT BEST ; LIKE THE OTHER REVIEWS SAID, SERVER HAD HER PHONE STUCK UP HER BRAINS AND GLUED TO HER HANDS. DONT CARE ATTITUDE FOR SERVICE AND WHEN WERE LEAVING , SHE HOUND US DOWN FOR 18% TIPS; THAT WERE NEVER DISCLOSED BEFOREHAND. TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.
Perfect authentic middle eastern/Israeli foodThe place is very clean, the food is very fresh and taste incredible.The service is great as well and the price is very reasonable.
This place gets 5 stars not for being the greatest or most delicious but for simply making great food at good prices and being consistent . The shwarama is great and the salad bar is an added plus . Service is easy and not a hassle at all I was in and out in 5 min
Food is great.... prices are very reasonable.. they need to listen to their customers as far as how the meats are cooked!
The meat and chicken were tasty and fresh. Quick service and has Israelie food vibes. Yum!
Food was amazing. But I came in on Sunday afternoon to have lunch with my friends and the mashgiach was very disrespectful. When we sat down to eat he had his feet up on a chair where we were eating. When we asked him to use that chair he said his legs were hurting him..... Was not a place of comfort.!
Great food really brings out the Mediterranean culture
Delicious and fresh middle eastern take out.
Best shawarma in town by far and good prices
Good food. Fast service.
Great food, nice service
The food was excellent. The falafel and humus is amazing. The chicken was very juicy and tender. Definitely one of the tastiest restaurants in the 5 towns
Great service.Orders are filled very fast
Food was very good and so was service. The place was so cold though with air coming through the facade. Also quite noisy.
I go there all the time for lunch. The manager Avi there, he is the new manager of the store which is under new ownership, has been making shawarma for over 30 years and is all about great service for people. The taste and the quality is spot on, the salad bar is always generous and comes of the sandwich. Solid and tasty across the board.
Very good food.
Went with a group of 10, had prompt and fast service. The best dishes were the hummus plate, the baby chicken, and the chicken schnitzel.
We love it. Consistently good authentic Israeli food. Very reasonable prices, large portions
Good chicken shwarma and fast service.
This along with the full Ahuvas in Hewlett serve the best falafel in the area for sure. Guys who run the places are friendly and the prices are not to bad either. I come here often for lunch.
Great little place. The shwarma is amazing! Definitely recommend!
Good food. Decent sized pot portions. Service was a little slow.
Greatest service and shwarma in all of the 5 towns!
Quick service and the food is delicious!
Love the food. Service can be a little slow if more than a few people are there but food is worth the wait.
Very nice falafel, no atmosphere
Best shawarma Ive had in NY!
Restaurant was always good but now that u have Bucharian menu it became even better. Yummy food!
Food and service was good BUT you can not eatin a third of the place in the winter. The door constantly opens and the cold air rushes in.
Good quick kosher food and parking
Dont let the un-assuming setting fool you - the food at this place ROCKS! And their OUTRAGEOUS Shwarma Spring Roll - is well worth the drive from Boston! The warm hospitality & great humor that I encountered here was topped only by the food, which, seriously IS to die for!
Delicious shawarma, quick service
Very nice service. Accommodating, clean, friendly. Would go back again. Food was very good.
Horrible service, Avi the manager is disgusting. Messed up my order several times, everyone was nasty and disrespectful. They kept me on the phone for 30 mins while they talked to other people, I could still hear them talking and I kept repeating hello, can you hear me. They just hung up. I called back and the manager made excuses then said my meal was on the house if I wanted to pick it up. When my mother got there to pick it up he claimed he never said that and charged her for the entire thing. Opened the order when I got home and it was completely wrong. When I called to confront him he was nasty and then hung up on me. Stay away from this place, they treat people like garbage.
Good food, very generous portions, very good service
Awesome food... best shwarma...
Nice place to eat! Good Customer Service! The price is a little high!
Really great service especially 10 at night!!
Delicious Yemenite/Israeli food! Nice atmosphere, excellent service.Try the yemenite soup!

Great food and great service
Liked very much. Food very good. Everyone at my party enjoyed their food
The food was good, but I dont know if I would wait an hour again for the food to arrive
Had an amazing shwarma+ spicy schnitzel laffa today - felt just like Israel!
Great food at a great price
Always tasty and fresh! Delivery was super fast today like 15-20 mins fast!! My salad bar was forgotten but it really doesn’t matter because I’m so happy it was delivered quick!Ordered: morrocan cigars, veg. soup, falafel in pita with all the fixings, Israeli grapefruit drink and extra pickles and techina on the side!!
Best schwarma place around
GREAT RESTAURANT! GREAT FOOD! GREAT SERVICE!LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK AGAIN & AGAIN!MY WIFE LOVES IT AS WELL!
Really delicious food and always fast and friendly service
Delicious yummy authentic Israeli food, kind staff, warm atmosphere
The counter lady, a young religious Jewish lady (I too am Jewish so no anti-Semitism implied) was very unhelpful, unfriendly and even nasty. We did not feel welcomed at all at Ahuva Grill and therefore we left before ordering. For me, a welcoming attitude is just as important, if not more important, than the food itself. I cannot recommend this place and I will not be coming back. My advice to the owner: you should be more careful to check up on your workers to make sure they’re not scaring away potential customers.
The best shawarma and falafel balls in 5 towns.
Food was very good and service was excellent
Great food! Good Mediterranean cuisine. Friendly staff!
Great food. Cant go wrong with Sephardi food. Beef skewers are the best with yellow rice.
Tastes like heaven in a Lafa
Nice cozy place , convenient location
Excellent restaurant for kosher and Israeli delicacies. Nice atmosphere and excellent service!
Hands down best schwarma in New York!!
Good food. Great service. Lots of parking.
Horrible dry chicken, messed up my order and very rude waitress. Did not have any respect whatsoever
The food is good but the service needs work.
Food is good, clean and priced well
Alright, falafel is good but shwarma is overpriced
Food is NOT good!
Excellent food and good service.
Always a great spot to catch something quick to eat, wther on the drive back from the city or if you are local. Love the schnitzel in a pita or shwarma in a lafa with hummus. Salad bar is also top notch with carrots, cole slaw, chick peas, pickles etc. If you want extra space to sit, you can also hit the full service Ahuvas Grill restaurant at Peninsula Blvd and Mill Rd.
EXCELLENT FALAFEL wish the pitas was a bit thicker. Nothing worse than biting into a falafel and the bottom splits
Great tasting turkey/lamb shwarma!!!Nice place glad I tried it out!
Eh. Food is bland. Service is good. Clean place.
Quick cheap food
Nice quaint place, great food, reasonably priced, cozy

2022-01-28Really disappointed I got the laffa because I hoped it would be more filling.I heard great things but Im very unimpressed.Almost nothing inside the laffa. Either order double what you want or go somewhere else.The actual falafel wasnt bad. But Im still hungry and have to go back to work 1 star for you.

2021-12-09My first time there. Great fresh Kosher obliging staff as well! I bought the freshes sliced baby chicken I ever had in a long time at a fast food eatery. I have a Jewish friend of mine that introduced me to it for the first time & I really enjoyed it! Thank You!Ahuvas Grill,I will be back!

2022-01-31I ordered five plates of baby chicken kebabs with rice and salad on the side. Instead, I got four cold food plates with uneven amounts of sides on each plate and seems like the chicken and rice was dunked in salt. Needles to say, my family couldn’t eat it and when I let the manager know they did nothing about it. Waste of money and waste of food. Disgusting!Respond to owner: I ordered it from Ahuva’s Grill. It’s very strange how you don’t see my order suddenly. Perhaps ask Julio, he’s the one that took the order and made the delivery.

2019-02-12Was actually a good idea that I stopped in here, Ive passed this place many times but never tried it till now and I think Im gonna stop every I pass again... LOLThe store is quite small but the shawarma is very good, they have chicken, turkey and beef, I took the turkey in a laffa and was delicious!

2021-10-13I love this spot! Really good shwarma! Great falafel. Laffas are wraped tight to provide the best eating experience. Quick service. Fairly priced. Finally, they offer an amazing, fresh and tasty salad bar included with every lafa!
