    Today was my first time to order from Chamoun, and honestly they surpassed our expectations as we’re very picky when it comes to midterranean cuisine. We ordered chamoun’s way with four protein types and lebanese burger sandwich. The grilled kofta, chicken shish tawouk and shawarma were perfectly cooked and grilled tasting really good along with excellent dips like tahini, hummus and garlic dip. The food portions are generous that I shared my meal with my husband. The restaurant is very neat, the team is friendly and efficient. They even gave us two puddings as a gift. Definitely a returning customer. So glad we have such restaurant in the area.

    The food was excellent. The staff were amazing. I had such a great time here. The shawarma reminded me of my childhood. It was extremely delicious. Definitely going here again! Also, I got free baklava which made my day!!

    Authentic Lebanese food and meals with many varieties to choose from. The staff are super friendly, the gentleman at the cashier helped me to customize a plate that I wanted. Service is fast. Will definitely try it again for different items. I ordered chicken and beef Shawarma, and few falafel and side dishes including Tabula and Humus.

    Fast food level food. If you are expecting something authentic I don't think this is the place. Rice was ok , kufta was average. Portions are good but for the same price I have had real authentic food in other similar casual places. 99% sure the hummus is from Target as I had some at home before going to this place and it was the same.

    One of the best lebanese restaurants I've seen so far. Genuine Lebanese food. Food is incredibly tasty and very generous portions. Prices are really competitive and way better than any restaurant in the neighborhood. If you want to have a memorable meal, Chamoun's way is definitely where you should go. I'm definitely coming back for more.

    Has to be one of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve ever been too. The guys working there are exceptionally kind, not used to this amazing service in the city at all. To top it off the food is splendid. Happy to have discovered this place and will be a permanent happy customer going forward!

    this was dinner from Chamoun’s Way in Lennox Hill. This Lebanese grill is across the street from Sloane Kettering and is GREAT 👍🏽 value ! the chicken breast is cooked to absolute perfection and is fresh off the grill. all the meat 🍖 absolutely delicious and you know me - i am VERY picky about my chicken breast. i could also eat an entire bowl 🍚 of that rice 🌾 forever ! it was THAT good. the owner is a lovely guy who gave us every dipping sauce in town and all the fix-ins. i usually take hummus over baba ganoush, but this baba ganoush was delicious. the owner is also an absolute GEM ! he is lovely and gave us free knafeh (bc i’m hot) but also bc he is literally awesome. it’s worth going just to meet and greet w that dude he’s such a wonderful soul 🥹🥹 • • overall, because of the price vs. quality vs. quantity ratio, this was excellent. i stamp this as a must-try if you’re looking for something quick that isn’t halal cart

    I am fortunate enough to have a Lebanese wife and, with that, a Lebanese mother in law who loves to spoil me with homemade Lebanese food. Despite that, I find myself betraying my in-laws and ordering from Chamoun’s Way on a regular basis! I have been to Beirut and the mountains of Lebanon and Chamoun’s way really brings be back to those fond memories. The food here is fresh and flavorful and delivery is even quite fast. The only thing that’s missing here is a cold Lebanese beer to wash it all down. Highly recommend the lamb wrap and the hummus but the Fattoush salad is one of the best I’ve had and pretty much everything I’ve had on the menu has been spot on!

    Excellent food and excellent staff. Just a quick reply to the dishonest review below—the schwarma is excellent. While opinions on food are subjective, facts about Chamoun’s layout are not. In particular, this restaurant has only two flags: Lebanon’s and the star-spangled banner. Everyone here is accepting of everyone and does not address political issues of any sort. People come here to eat, not to discuss current affairs and get everyone worked up in vain. Highly recommended for anyone interested in experience authentic Lebanese cooking! Keep up the great work!🇺🇸❤️🇱🇧

    Great place to enjoy delicious Lebanese cuisine. Reasonable prices with an extensive menu - the difficult part is deciding what to order. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. This place is an absolute great find. Will definitely be back!!

    I absolutely love this place. By far the best and most authentic Lebanese restaurant in New York. The food is so delicious and the service is amazing! My only regret is not finding this place earlier. I’d recommend literally anything on the menu they all taste like the best home-made dishes that remind me of home.

    Chamoun's Way offers consistently delicious homemade-style dishes in a warm and charming atmosphere. The menu includes many options for both meat-lovers and vegetarians and the service is efficient, prompt, and friendly. I've dined at Chamoun's Way a number of times and have tried many appetizing items - the chicken shawerma is tender, the beet salad is fresh and made with real (not canned like other restaurants!) beets, the spicy potatoes have just the right amount of kick, the french fries are freshly cut, the halloumi cheese sandwich has the perfect balance with tomatoes, cucumber and mint, and the homestyle items like chicken molokkhia (roasted chicken and jute leaves), mujetereh (lentils) and fasoolia (green beans) taste just like home. It's hard to find classic dishes like these, and not only does Chamoun's Way offer it on its menu, it is top-notch. As an extra bonus, Chamoun's Way serves quality Lebanese wine and beer and we had a nice bottle of white Chateau Kefraya to pair with our dinner. I highly recommend Chamoun's Way -- it's a perfect and tasty place to dine with family and friends!

    Lentil soup- fantastic, very hot and seasoned perfectly. A great cold day snack. Veggy combo- falafel was very soft and fresh some of the best I've had. The hummus was good but missing the strong flavors or tahini and the lentils. Over blended. The baba was great ! I can tell great care was put into this food so why serve cold thin pita? Overall a great meal but missing the fine touches to be awesome.

    My friends and I came here for lunch. Everything was freshly made, so it took sometime for us to get all the food. We got grape leaves, salad, combo meal, and dessert. The hummus tasted so creamy and fresh. And I loved their tahini sauce. They don’t have many tables, and most people ordered take out.

    Absolutely delicious food, high quality ingredients, friendly staff/family owned. I had the halloumi healthy mixed green bowl with tahini. We ate here and it was comfortable and homey. They even offered us a dessert on the house. It was the white pudding with floral citrus and it was amazing! A UES gem everyone should experience.

    We just enjoyed two combination platters from Chamoun’s Way. The food was absolutely delicious and feels so good in our bellies! We were treated as if we were the guests of the best cook among family friends! Each and every dish was impeccably flavored and spiced. Service was most hospitable and warm. We were gifted a special dessert on a house, an aromatic custard like dish topped with crushed pistachios and infused with orange blossom water. A fantastic treat to end our meal! We walked in in search of falafel as we happened to be in the neighborhood and hungry… we will be back because this place is such a treasured find! Thank you to everyone working there, for your courtesy, graciousness and a truly satisfying meal! 🙏❤️😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
