If youre im Bay Ridge or looking for Authentic Middle Eastern and good quality and good tasting food, Ruzana is the place to go! Amazing people there and very fast food i ordered and got it in minutes.
I’ve place large group catering services several time And Their food never disappoints!! Top notch food!! Highly recommended!!
Delicious food! Always been a fan of arabic cuisine. Try Arabic meat swarma platter with white sauce.
Ive been there last weekend. Very very very friendly crew. The food also was great!. Its really rare these days to find a place with such nice people, they smile from the heart when they get ur order
This place had such mixed reviews, and being that I Love Middle Eastern food I had to try it for myself.Went around dinner time after shopping nearby. I ordered the Arab Chix roll that everyone has photos of. They were nice enough to let me sub the Cole slaw. They bring the food to you but seem to forget napkins.I ate outside, as the lighting inside is yucky. Fries are crisp as everyone says and seasoned with some addictive powder that seems to have sugar in it. Chix is ok, moist with a lemon-grassy flavor, dark meat so a bit in the oily side for me. Labneh (aka white sauce) is super salty and they didn’t have many non-soda options, so I was parched. My tabbouleh was fresh but the oil they used seems rancid, so I didn’t finish it. The spicy sauce was probably the best thing I had... I was nervous this would make sick, it was mainly heavy and I didn’t feel bad until the next day. This is basically a greasy shawarma joint, not really home cooking... *sorry about the bad photo- I have to delete some stuff bc my camera is slow
Changed my review from 4 stars to one star. Ordered food the other night my falafel sandwich made my stomach hurt. Also ordered a soup wasn’t filled to the top it was good but not sure why they didn’t fill the soup to the top. See picture below that’s how I got the soup.
Tried falafel plate and dolmades. Falafel was served along with some rice, salad and pita bread. I liked the falafel, it had good flavors and the right amount of seasoning. However, the rice had an oily coating and a not so good after-taste. Dolmades could have been better!
Poor service,, falafel was too crunchy not good at all ,, please take care about your customer with the real taste , one ⭐
Vibe, food, everything. Perfect quick Arab fix :-) coming from an Arab, this spot is a 10/10 ❤️
The service was bad. Food wasnt good. Expensive.
Rude staff. Disgusting food. If anyone want to waste money they can go there.
It’s not like before. The taste changed a lot. Moroccan people are working there now not Syrian as before so maybe they changed the taste I don’t know but I used to go there a lot but I won’t go anymore. The fat chef is so dirty and disgusting he was cleaning his sweat with his hand and then make my shawarma.
Ordered meat burger with no sauces and no tomato. Waited about an hour. Got burger with a lot of sauces. Hate it so much! I was so hungry! You ruined my day
Not sure what happened to this place! They used to better than Karam… went today for the first time since probably before COVID and was looking forward to their arabic chicken shawarma…. boy was I disappointed. The fries used to be seasoned with zaa’tar, now they’re not even seasoned with salt. Coleslaw used to be fresh and crunchy, now it was soaked in mayonnaise and was warm from having the fries placed on top. Worst of all the sandwich had no taste. Barely any pickles and the garlic sauce tasted more they are trying to imitate the halal truck “white” sauce versus authentic toum (garlic sauce). 2 stars because at least it was edible.
Amazing food, the owner has a very kind heart, and cooks the food for her customers the way she would genuinely cook for her family back home. This is my go-to spot for quick Arabic food in bay ridge! Authentic spices are used- every pie I tried was amazing, and the spinach/feta are my favorite! Try any of the shawarma platters and you won’t be disappointed. Their French fries are amazing~ decor is beautiful and most importantly everything is spotless! Amazing place-
Awesome food place!! Best place to have late night shawarma!!
The is a true authentic Arabic shawarma ! Great place ! I recommend it ...
We had takeout from Ruzana and loved everything we ordered. Our kids had the Kofta Kebab platter and loved it. My wife and I split the Arabic Chicken Shawarma platter and Falafel platter and both were excellent. The shawarma was especially good. We also got a side order of hummus. Perfectly made!
Really really bad customer service. They keep on doing this again and again. The kebabs are uncooked. Food is cold. Barely give any sauce. Whenever i complain they don’t take me seriously. Rude staff. Super disappointed
It’s not like before. The taste changed a lot. Moroccan people are working there now not Syrian as before so maybe they changed the taste I don’t know but I used to go there a lot but I won’t go anymore.
This place looks great on the outside not very inviting when you walk in the floor inside needs some work plugs are sticking out and it needs tlc with, not the best layout. I ordered musukhan rolls and chicken shwarma platter with sambusa to go, the food was a little greasy but otherwise fantastic! Our meal was very flavorful, delicately plated generous toasted almond topping. The fresh dill on the slaw was delicious. We really enjoyed our meal my only complaint is the garlic sauce was tasting a little too much like mayo not enough garlic otherwise We loved it and will order again!
Very tasty middle eastern dishes 😋
They charge you text twice One time for the food 2nd time for using credit card 🤝👎👎
This doesn’t even deserve 1 star the shawarma tasted like fish
Comparing the vegetarian falafel sandwich to the ones Ive had in UAE, the bread was inauthentic and the tahini sauce was too sour. The quantity was huge though and the falafel balls were well made.
I was driving by with my sister and we noticed this place which was new to us. We ordered chicken shawarma. It was so delicious, and fresh! The fries and coleslaw were fresh as well! Service and staff was good as well! It’s a win win!!
Mansaf is AMAZING! Delicious & quantity is really much for the price! Love it 😀
Dont know how to explain but it was mind blowing. Their fries is the main hero. In love with those fries.
The food is so good there. I love the chicken gyro platter with french fries, and cole slaw but that garlic sauce I always order seconds.
This little place is awesome! The food tastes super fresh and the aroma of the food takes you straight to the Middle East. The people are very friendly and even accepted the hugs my toddler loves to give out, the nice man at the counter gave her a free little tray of baklava.The space was a bit small and limiting so you may have to wait for a table but its definitely worth it if you do
First time ordering from this place. My wife and I love Middle Eastern food. I must say, the food was probably one of the top Middle Eastern places I have ordered from.We both had the same dishes.Chicken Shawerma Platter:Middle eastern specialty assortment of thinly sliced seasoned chicken, with a side of rice or fries, salad, and garlic sauce.Baba Ghanouge:Mashed smokey grilled eggplant blended with tahini, lemon and garlic, served with homemade Arabic bread.The food was amazing and the ingredients were very fresh.The Service is just as good. Delivery took less than 30min.
I’d like to start off by saying the seating arrangements and scenery are nice. That said the food is absolutely butt I don’t complain about prices but I went with a group of six people and we ordered four different dishes all were bland and terrible, personally my chicken Adana tasted like charcoal. The staff was pretty nice but the fact that they didn’t feel guilty selling me this food doesn’t help. I don’t understand how people say the food here is delicious, sounds fishy if you ask me, this is the worst middle eastern restaurant I’ve been to in terms of quality of food. Honestly i was looking for plankton because all I could taste was chum.
Just had one of the best shawarma. The chicken was fresh and juicy wrapped inside thin bread which was baked perfectly and was crispy. Fries were delicious and coleslaw made great combination with other things in plate. Great experience. Definitely coming back again and again.
Update: grandma is no longer there making good stuff.. the lamb is dry like over cooked, even tho I asked for no rice they gave me a plate full with no salad ..the rice is also over seasoned .. the kibeh is trash now ... Overall the new cook blowsTheir shawarma is bomb af!.. Grandma makes good stuff
It was just a lil part of my childhood in one place.
This place is very good (talking about everything food ,employees ,prices and cleanliness) it’s actually my go to every time I feel like not cooking, I really appreciate them and their food ,BUT one thing bothers me a looooooot from this place is the rice they make !!! Full full full of cloveswhich makes it taste awful, I already complained about it many many times but they don’t wanna do anything about it , I’m very sad I don’t go there that often anymore just because of that , I hope they read my review and they spend some effort to do some changes ! NO CLOVES in the rice pleaaaase
We tried for the first time the Lamb liver sandwich,Mansaf, Falafel, today and the food was great, freshly cooked very tasty and well presented. The owner and staff were attentive and service overall was good. Overall a good meal and great value we will certainly be going back.
First of all, cashier was very unfriendly. Did not say hello when I said hello, ignored, I was served very unprofessionally. The workers looked like they were working in slow motion. Prices are very high. And this food got me sick. I won’t be shocked if this food was stored frozen for months or even years before it was cooked. I got a stomach virus and was sent to the hospital. I want this place to pay for my medical bill.... oh also one of the workers needs to pick his pants up. Crack is wack.
Always great service to go along with the great food! Its good tasting food, with decent prices as well. I always get the Falafel and it is amazing, my girlfriend has gotten the shawarma a few times as well and loves it. You can take out or sit in, if you decide to sit in youll enjoy the cozy, well decorated environment.
Ive been walking by for 5 months looking in and saying next time. I was not disappointed. I had the Arabic meat shawarma platter. Well seasoned, warm and delicious! Looking forward to my next visit.
3rd time eating from there and the food is always AMAZING and the service is EXCELLENT. My go to spot for something other than the usual food thats around my job. Love It...Happy and Forever Customer.P.S You guys should consider opening a spot in the Bronx and Harlem.
This is the worst shawerma ever. It got me sick after and I didn’t even finish my plate. The chicken was raw and the salad was so salty I couldn’t even eat it. No I have fever and stomach problems because of it. Please be careful because it got me and 3 of my friends sick and we all had the same problems. This is the worst spot ever. And there shawerma is not even good. This is disgusting
This restaurant is outstanding. Everything is just wow. Their decoration is fabulous. The guy in the front is so nice. The place is clean and the music they play takes you to the middle east. I had to drive for more than an hour to get there after a friend recommended the place to me. We ordered the Chicken Shawarma and hummus and this is the best Shawarma I ever tasted in the States. It is so delicious that I had to order two more. Prices are decent too. If you want to try Shami food this is definitely your spot. Will be back for sure and will recommend it for friends and family.
If I could give this place zero stars I would. When I first ordered shawarma from here the food was great. Place was new back then. I decided to order food just now, and I must say I was very disappointed. There was no shawarma meat just all fat. It wasnt edible at all. I felt like I paid $9 each for a piece of bread since that was the only thing I could consume. Horrible place. I can never understand why any restaurant would serve this type of poor quality food to their customers. Were the one that keep you in business. Were the one that can destroy your business. Regrettably you dont care much about your reputation when you served and knowingly delivered me this garbage. I use to recommend people to your restaurant, now I wont.
The Best Arabic food In BayRidge, nice and well mannered crew, fair price, fresh food, cozy place.Im Brazilian, my family and I love Arabic food and we were pretty happy when We meet this location.If compared with Samias restaurant we can title if food without atitude.
Probably the best middle eastern food I had. The decor was put you in a vibe that you are in a middle eastern restaurant. Everything complimented the atmosphere. Put door seating also. The food was fresh and delicious. I would have to say dont get to full on shawarma or platter dishes and get yourself one of the desserts. Everything was on point. Its crazy thats its all the way in bayridge. It was actually worth going. I would go all the way down there again just to have that again.
Dry dry dry, the meat, shawarma and pies were old and dry. I placed an order for delivery. Honestly between the reviews and what I heard I expected better. And I ordered rice pudding, they didnt have, they should of called me to tell me like other places do. Instead Im stuck with some horrible dessert to top off dry dry dry meal.
Really good food but I feel that they are a little skimpy on meats in general (whether its chicken or lamb). If you order a platter, for example, it will have some salad, some meat but a lot of rice. Otherwise its fine, but then again thats where they lose me.
If anyone wants zaatar pie - DO NOT EVEN TRY IT! THEIRS IS HORRIBLE, their bread looks like a rotten biscuit/bread from Popeyes with zaatar on top! The bread is an ugly shade of grey and beige - actually looks rotten, texture is horrible its almost like theyre mixing all kinds of flour in there! Its disgusting and drenched in oil 🤢 - no - never again!
Simply Amazing. I know people recommend Tanoreen for Middle Eastern food but Ruzana is a VERY close second. I have already had their falafel, chicken and meat schwarmas, pies, and hummus. They also have the best Kibbeh I have ever had ((including all the places I have ate in.while working in the MENA region).The food is flavorful, generous portions, and friendly staff make it a must.
Little gem hidden in Bay Ridge. The staff was super nice and patient with us asking questions. The chicken shawarma sandwich w/ fries was good, enough for two to split. The fries had a very cajun like seasoning on them. Google shows it opening at 2pm, but we were just there at 1pm on a Friday and they were open. Outdoor seating is another plus!
Very rude and disrespectful employees! The worst service ever!
The worst shawarma I have ever tested in my whole life. It was really bad that it got me sick after eating it. I literally had to see a doctor for it and he said it was either old food or they put something that we shouldn’t be eating. Hope you guys work on it.
We didn’t plan to go there for dinner but somehow we ended up going there and I am glad we did. Their Shawarma Arabic is delicious and very flavorful. This place is small with limited seating but well organized. Worth visiting this place. And of course, everything is halal.
I have been going there for quiet sometime their food is good and price was also. But now they are becoming greedy and cheap like they use to give coleslaw with there wrapes n burgers but today the lady charged me for coleslaw and that your 6.12 dollars which was a shock that for a small box 6 dollars way to much and fries are less too.I request the owner to look into it.
We just found a new favorite place to eat ❤.Delicious food and amazing customer service. We first tried the food when we actually were just driving and thought to just try it. The guy there told us to try the arabic shawarma .. which we fell in love with and ordered another one. After eating in the restraunt a few times we thought of ordering it for delivery. 1st time we got the delivery it was a dissapointment food was very cold and dry. We called the manager and he was so friendly and apologized and ask us if we wanted a replacement food or full refund. I told him we will try ordering one more time in a few days. So he said whenever we order it would be free of charge.Ok so we ordered the same food today with an extra drink. The food was fresh, tasty and flavorful. Plus they gave us free complimentry dessert(which was delicious too). And they did not charge us forthe extra drink.I would highly recommend everyone to give this place a shot. And i have already shared this with all my family and friends.
Food is great & very authentic. Cozy family friendly spot. Excellent service.
We were looking for an authentic chicken shawrma for years now, and this place had everything needed for the taste buds to feel satisfied. The bread in which they make the shawrma is not pita bread, but thier original hand made bread which is flat, and authentic. It was our first time here, and the service was excellent. The owner, Muddasir was pleasant to talk to, and also gave us complimentary falafel. The staff too was very good to talk to. Their hummus was tasty, and falafels were fresh, and yummy too. I would definitely come again, and recommend this place for their food, service, and ambience.
My wife is not even a shawarma person and she loved it after I insisted she try them out. Friendly staff, uniquely beautiful seating, fresh well cooked food, the best fries - hands down top shawarma spot in Brooklyn.
Very nice and best shawarma ever had in brooklyn neighbourhood so highly recommended to visit if you are looking for middle Eastern style shawarma as the taste is perfect and highly recommended for shawarma lovers as its perfect place for them to visit.
Read about this place a while ago and finally stopped in. They guy at the counter was incredinly patient as I asked questions, and he enthusastically introduced us to their signature dish. We decided to sit outside, which was so lovely (being off 5th Ave, its not as busy). We got the chicken shawarma platter; it was tasty but I wish it had had more pickles and maybe a bit more salt. Will go back and try other things!
Flavor was good with the white sauce and fries, I ordered chicken shwarma and got super dry beef not chicken..
Great food and great service. The owner is a beautiful and kind hearted lady. I had a chance to chat with her and interview her for my business class. on entrepreneurship. I wish her well and good luck.
Love love love the shawarma chicken platter! It’s always fresh and delicious. They even accommodate my needs for extra garlic and hot sauce !
Tonight was my first visit and let me tell you it was the best falafel ever. First of all they used a special wrap and the spices were superb. They didnt skimp on the tahini sauce at all like some places do. This falafel was about a foot long. I must admit I did wait a bit long just for a falafel and fries because they seemed to be busy with outside orders but after tasting that special sandwich, it was worth the wait. Trust me when I tell you that the other falafels cant compare. I just happened to be in the neighborhood but I will travel from Canarsie to get another....Martina
The worst meat shawarma platter I have ever tasted in my life. The rice is old and staleSalad tastes about 3 days old. Will never ever go back if it was the only place left to eat in the world.
***UPDATE***Is this place under new management? Something has shifted- the food is definitely not the same…bummed.Ruzana was the only reason we would go to Bay Ridge!
The food was delicious! The Schwarma was so tasty and the tabbouleh was very fresh. The manager was very sweet and checked up on us halfway through the meal. Yum yum.
Best shawarma I ever ate in NYS
Best Arabic food in Bay Ridge. Amazing homemade bread and all pies. Fantastic falafel and meat shawarma. Authentic Turkish coffee. Excellent prices and extremely nice staff. Check it out
Just the right price for the right food. The place is beautiful as well to eat in though not for huge crowds. Would definetely recommend.But shwarma was dry a bit. Karam restaurant Shwarma is much more juicy and filled with salad and sauces. So please improve on that.Thanks
Best shawarma ever also there mixed grill is a must have with the best prices 👍👍
Have never had such a wonderful -home like taste sandwiches in NY since i moved here 14 years ago! Amazing falafal & shawrma sandwiches, beautiful atmosphere, clean facility, reasonable prices, and most of all pleasant & humble owner & staff!
I never write reviews, but I had to just to sing the praises of the falafel sandwich here. The falafel is super fresh, extremely well seasoned, and the bedouin bread they do it on is so amazing. Perfectly chewy and soft. Its the best falafel sandwich Ive had. Because its rolled up so tightly, the falafel and the salad and hummus all get evenly distributed throughout the sandwich. Im looking forward to getting through the rest of the menu! Although its hard to not order the falafel. Staff is friendly, which goes a long way.
The food was awful!! My food was delivered 30 minutes late. Their hummus and shawarma taste like plastic(literally). It not not possible to eat. The food is dry. I would not recommend anyone to try this place. Waste of money and no satisfaction from their food.
Please Read!!I ordered food from here via grubhub and waited almost an hour for the food to arrive. Once it arrived, I was very displeased with the way my order was handled by the driver, it was held side ways with the oils leaking out the styrofoam containers into the bag because the driver was very careless. I DIDNT get any hello, how are you or any form of greeting. The driver placed the food in my hand and I said thank you and he then proceeded to ask me for a tip. I politely said I dont have any tip, I paid using a credit card and I dont have any cash on hand. I then closed my door and I overheard him say idiot. Ive never felt so disrespected by a FOOD delivery person in my entire LIFE. I didnt want to cause a big scene in my hallway, being that it was after 1am in the morning, but he needs to be fired immediately!!! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT A CUSTOMER IN THAT MANNER AT THEIR RESIDENCE THAT IS PATRONIZING YOUR BUSINESS OVER A TIP YOURE NOT ENTITLED TO! IVE WORKED IN CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR MANY YEARS AND I NEVER WOULD DISRESPECT A CUSTOMER LIKE THAT! YOURE NOT TO EVEN INQUIRE ABOUT A TIP, ITS SOLELY UP TO THE CUSTOMER IF THEYD LIKE TO GIVE YOU ONE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, my French tries were soggy and cold. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone until they fire that bum and hire professional people with ACTUAL customer service skills. I am appalled and disgusted!He NEEDS TO BE FIRED! I will be visiting that location to speak with a manager to ensure that hes jobless!THANKS
I ordered catering from here and it was very tasty and price was good. It was ready on time and everyone loved the food. Highly recommended
Fast
This place is awesome. Love the toasted shawarma sandwiches. But most of all, their rice is incredible!! This is s must try place, especially for late night fare
The food is really bad and the lady at counter was so rude. I ordered both of chicken and beef shawarma platter, the chicken was so chewy, so as the beef but to be honest the beef wasn’t that bad. So over all I would give at a 2 out of 10
This place is wonderful. Only problem was I ended up eating way more than I planned because the food was so good. Very friendly service and open 24 hrs. Ruzana is definitely making my regular rotation.
Food and staff. All top notch! Only been there twice, both times I was extremely satisfied. Im still new to the menu, but the shwarma sandwiches were really great...
We were in the neighborhood and stopped in after a day of shopping; before we even stepped in the shop, you can smell the aroma of deliciousness.We went in, started perusing the menu and display cases & then someone came over and helped us decide: schwarma chicken, zatar, lahmajeen, & falafel sandwich. Yum!Definitely will go back again. Have to try the baba ganoush & tabouleh.
Food is authentic and traditional and takes me back thousands of miles to the Middle East. Staff is very helpful and welcome you like family. Quality ingredients are used to make quality food.
Very bad service, very cheap with the food. Ever since the new owners took over its been only going down hill. Way smaller portions and food tastes old and like it was sitting out for a while. Food used to taste good now its horrible. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.
The best restaurant in oriental food in the Bridge area
Prices are a bit expensive compared to other places offering same menu in the neighborhood.
The portion is a small. Chicken kabob was fully burned n dried . Got a notice that they do not have what I ordered 30 min after I ordered !Beef was good n salesperson was nice
Weve been there multiple times, food is nice and tasty, have no doubts about it, thanks for serving really nice suff. BUT, HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE waiting time to get your food whether you eat in or taking you food to go, it has never been less than 45min! Absolutely unacebtable waiting time! Also tables inside are sticky and dirty sometimes(will post the pictures later) Last time we went there I ordered a lot of stuff and told the lady on the counter that Im going to eat in, then and asked her to please give me the rice instead of the fries with whawarma,she ignored me and then I asked again her said ok, guess what? THEY GAVE ME ALL THE FOOD PACKED FOR TO GO AND OF COURSE THEY DID NOT GIVE ME THE RICE INSTEAD OF THE FRIES! I told her that I wanted to eat in, plus it was raining outside, she and one of the chef guys were looking and me and they did not even said sorry, nothing, not even a word, they ignored me and since I have paid for the food I took it home.There were 2 other customers who came 10-15min after me,whem they were eatimg their food already, I was still waiting for mine to be prepared. Well,thank you, I WILL NEVER COME BACK EVEN THOUGH I LIKE THE FOOD, I WAS ALWAYS RECOMENNDING TO MY FRIENDS TO TRY THIS PLACE, BUT WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN!!!!
Quaint cozy Middle Eastern find on 85th Street off 4th Avenue. Excellent take out and some space for eating in. Tasty and friendly. This is Middle Eastern with a Jordanian flare. It opened its doors early 2017 and even though it is hidden away from 4th Avenue it has developed a significant following. And has falafel and shwarma for easy quick meal. Food is among the best in Bay Ridge.
Great food and friendly staff. Just wish the food taste was consistent. Some days it lacks spices.
I love it the best Shawarma in Brooklyn New York thank you for the service❤️✌️😉
Ordered delivery through seamless. The Felafel was honestly out of this world! I also got the chicken shwarma wrap w/ garlic sauce which was so flavorful. Keep it up!
I come to Ruzana atleast once a week. I love their Arabic Shahwarma. The best shahwarma in all of NYC Guaranteed!
Nice place good portions kind of tight but pretty good small tables no waiter service must pick up stuff yourself once in a while they bring stuff to your table depending on what it is but its good wholesome food Middle Eastern
I just was driving and i saw it OMG the chawarma is amazing the plates too i stoped there couple times i ordred diferent plates its good and the price is good
Its not worth it ...not delicious and takes for ever for a simple order
The cutest little hidden gem. The food was flavorful and delicious. I just wish they gave more sauce with the food. When it’s nice and sunny they have outside seating.
Used to be great, but they changed employees (I dont know if ownership as well) changed the rendering of the plates, raised the prices, reduced the portions considerably, and now a visit here is not worthy anymore. For me only as a last resort from now on.
Bad service, food too dry to swallow and it took so long to get served ,white sauce tasted like just pour out of the jar, I feel not love on the food.So Disappointed
The food was great and staff was excellent, they we’re very helpful with helping out with their selection of food especially if you ever get confused on which one to get. 10/10 will definitely come back
Abdelkarim is the best shahwarma chef in NYC. There quality is consistent and the Arabic shahwarma is awesome
This place really sucks. Me and my friends went there this afternoon and the cashier was very rude to us. Not only that but the food was so nasty and one of my friends ended up throwing up in the bathroom.
We were o for our way to another restaurant when we found this and decided to give it a try. Simple food. Great shawarma!
Best shawerma in the states so far, made me remember the authentic taste from back home, very friendly staff and amazing manager! And outdoors tables are awesome!
More expensive than Karam on 4th Ave. However spacious seating and somewhat tastier rotisserie chicken compared to Karam makes it worth 4 stars. Or at least 3.5 stars.
Wish there was an AC but so amazing overall
How many times are you guys going to mess up my order? There’s a different between lamb shawarma and chicken!!! Get your orders right bro!!!
Great shawarma and delicious fries. Always hot when delivered. Quick service. Definitely recommend.
Food is always fresh and delicious! Chicken shwarma platter is my favorite. Baklava is good too.
Not worth the hype, tastes bad you can get better food at other restaurants.
Love their shawarma on that thin bread!! Cant wait to be back
If youre looking for authentic middle eastern style cuisine this is the best spot in Brooklyn. Great customer service and fast delivery.
Lady was rude when I ordered. Food is decent. Better middle eastern food in the area. I like their gyro hummus.
Good food. Very nice and helpful staff. Came there 1st time, gotnlots of explanations and suggestions on food choices
Nice and clean and the shawarma big and delicious. Price is great, same as people who work there.
Great people. Food is taste. The have a special of the day very affordable.
One of the best Shawarma I tried in NYC. I tired manaesh meat, Zatar and spanich. So delicious. I’d totally recommend this place. 😍👌🏻
I ordered a mixed grilled was so bad test like Indian food rice meet chicken kofta all have the same test not really grilled we didn’t eat it I don’t recommend it from here it was the first time and for sure the last time it was the worst mixed grilled I ever had :(
Good food
The place is clean and they have good customer service. The food is ok and they also have an outside seating area. Open 24/7 and theyre easy to see from the street.
Amazing menu, great prices, authentic food, quick and family like service, open late what elss can you ask for?? Lamb shwarma combo is a must.
Literally, THE BEST SHAWARMA,A lot of places says they have shawarma but they never tasted the real shwarma like what Ruzana have.
They have good food and very helpful staff. I like their more authentic food then the shwarma.
This is the best restaurant ever. Super nice people and very delicious food.
Best Arabic restaurant in NYC. Good prices and great service. I highly recommend visiting this amazing place Im sure youll comeback again and again
Tried this place a year ago and it is much better in 2018.. new mgmt? No idea but amazing falafel.. takes a while but made with love ... Sweet guys in there..
Loved the chicken shawarma sandwich bought one and had to go back for another one very nice place would definitely go back another time
Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! Probably my favorite chicken in the area.The service was fantastic, too. Very nice people here.
Great food and great service , we went to so many places but this place is where I can say that I enjoyed the most keep up the quality , great people and owners
Food is Awesome 👌. Especially, their coleslaw and Garlic sauce are great.
Super good food clean GREAT SERVICE. HIDDEN GEM
The food is delicious 😋 prices are very reasonable u not going to regret this place
They gave me beef when I ordered and paid for lamb, (beef is cheaper) which is a little scary to me. I cant digest beef. Be careful.
Excellent...fresh and delious food.i recomended all...best arab food
Love their Shawarma.. They just need to work on the appearance of their store. Eyes eat first.
This restaurant is one of my favorite in NYC especially for shawarma, I strongly recommend this small restaurant to everyone who want to have real Shawarma
Amazing food and sweet employees. Reasonable price. My family enjoyed it very much
It was good before, shawrma is not fresh as usual, salad is so bad, i throwed the sandwich on the garbage
Best shawarma Ive ever had in the city! Nice family owned place.
Good food, good service plus nice ambiance is a total of an awesome place. A place definitely worth going back!
Awesome place, great shawrma, beautiful food it reminds me of my home town, keep it up guys, Bravo.
Best shawarma I have had in the US so far. Their fries and garlic sauce are amazing.
I am an american who lived in jordan for 2 years. The shawarmas at Ruzana in my opinion are the only authentic disease in the city
Not recomended..Meal not worth the money.. some rice a small piece of kefta and small salad in a medium plate for 11 dollars!!! Come on! And even the kefta has no taste.. not coming back
Yummm one of my the best Shawrma in Ny , and they also have Arabic Shaowrma(شاورما عربي )
Best shawarma in Brooklyn , really taste like the original one , first time feel at homeThe taste is amazing
Great food service is trash lady on cashier doesn’t care at all I was there for 45 min waiting for two sandwiches turns out they lost my order and didn’t even know I was waiting there and when I talked to her she told me wait ended up giving me the wrong order
I don’t recommend this place, i have been there once and i ordered the chicken shawarma and french fries, i got sick and almost throw up

2022-02-07This place is a gem! Food there is sooo tasty and the portions are big that you will most likely end up taking leftovers home (also a plus not to cook the next day!)Prices are very reasonable and honestly with food that good, other places would charge you waaaay more.I went there with my family and a small group of friends and we ordered a bunch of stuff ( Shawarma platter, Mansaf platter, burger and fries, Msakhan and stuffed grape leaves) and some appetizers salad, hummus and fries, Tabbouleh.Everything I tried was good and tasty, staff were very welcoming and friendly. On a side note, we noticed they were packing a huge order to go and out of curiosity we asked and came to know that they cater events and parties and that order was a stuffed lamb! It looked huge 😄Highly recommend the place, a must try if you ever were in bay ridge area, Brooklyn.

2021-03-20Ordered the Arabic falafel platter. A dish well put together. The falafel was inside a wrap and included fresh Mediterranean ingredients. The hummus in this dish was good quality. The fries have to be my favorite part of the whole dish though. It’s like they are seasoned with a garlic & herb salt. They taste delicious.

2019-05-29Amazing food. Best shawerma Ive ever had outside of the middle east. Make sure you ask for garlic sauce cause its out of this world. If youre reading this, its worth it to go. Trust me.

2022-01-25The food here is pretty good. I got the meat shawarma platter. Would have liked some bread with it, but basically I ate the whole thing and enjoyed it, so how bad could it be? I will eat here again. This was takeout, by the way.

2019-06-24My husband enjoyed their food. I personally found the baba ganoush to be bland and I didnt like the shawarma because it was all dark meat.
