Zyara Restaurant

Came here for a quick bite later in the evening. The place was packed but the servers were attentive and kind. The shawarma was finished so I ordered the chicken kebab platter with Jerusalem salad and hummus. The chicken was flavorful and fresh off the grill. The salad wasn’t my favorite. The vegetables were a little mushy and waterlogged for my liking. The hummus was delicious. They weren’t able to offer water because they ran out and the bathroom was far from clean. I wouldn’t give up on Zyara just yet, but maybe I would try earlier in the day to see if the overall experience is better.

I tried Zyara Restaurant in Astoria and the Chicken Kebab was absolutely delicious! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was great. This will definitely be my new go-to spot for Mediterranean food in Astoria. Highly recommend!

Great food, huge portions. A bit of a miscommunication with the server who ran my credit card but didn't ask me if I wanted to add tip - he said not to worry about it but I wanted to tip him! I wish I had had more cash on me.

DELISH!!!!!!!! Worth the hype! We got the chicken Adana sandwich (amazing), and lamb platter. Everything was cooked to perfection and sauces were the cherry on top. we also got a side of baba ganoush and Turkish eggplant - both were phenomenal! Cannot wait to be back to try the rest of their menu. Highly recommend this spot for both take out or dine in.

Wow. What. A. Find. Recommended by our (future?) mayor Zohran Mamdani — and honestly, this place blew me away. A true flavor bomb. ✔️ Great food ✔️ Quality ingredients ✔️ Fair prices ✔️ Small business with big heart ✔️ Everything I love about New York This is the kind of spot that reminds me why this city is unbeatable: passionate people, honest food, and that real neighborhood soul. Thanks, Zohran, for pointing me in the right direction. If this is the start of your legacy, it’s already looking very promising. Who knows… maybe one day we’ll co-create the ultimate guide to New York’s hidden gems. 😉 Absolutely worth a visit. Go taste it. Enjoy it. NYC at its finest.
