Been here a handful of times and loved everything I've had, including specials. Most recently, their take on a chicken parm that was amazing. Hoping they make it a regular item, maybe even bring back the chicken Caesar wrap. Their play on classics are 🔥 (as is the traditional stuff)

I love Levantine (Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon) food so much. I’ve been to Tanoreen, Karam, Ayat, and Yemen Cafe in Bay Ridge, BK. I’ve been to Al-Basha in Paterson and I’ve had real live sittis cook for me and I had the BEST LAMB I’VE EVER HAD at Hen House Tonight. I really wanted the crispy rice and assumed I’d get a dried out kebab on the side. But no. A mouthwatering bowl of rice with truck style bbq and white sauce and the most succulent, moist, perfectly seasoned lamb. Better than Italian lamb shank. Better than Greek rack of lamb. Dare I say, better than the halal truck at 86th and 5th in Bay Ridge. I will be going back soon to try the kanafeh sandwich and pancake! Go see Watermelon Pictures All That’s Left of You or The Voice of Hind Rajab and eat dinner at Hen House NYC!

Hands down one of the best meals I had in 2025 and one of the best meals I've ever had in New York City. This place is SPECIAL. I first learned of Chef Tony in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. I was recovering from almost dying of COVID and was spending more time on social media. I know it sounds ridiculous but I actually added "eating this fried chicken sandwich" to my bucket list of things I would do if I recovered 😅. I had no idea when it would happen but I knew I had to have it. Let me tell you, almost 5 full years later fully recovered and happily married to a New Yorker (I'm from Arizona by the way), I walked into this restaurant with my husband. Do you know how good the food has to be for it to go on my bucket list, much less stand up to the slow burn anticipation of over 5 years?! Well, it IS that good. The chicken sandwich was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with delicious bread and pickled vegetables. The House Piri Piri sauce was incredible! Every bite was delicious, nourishing, and filling. We also ordered the Torta and had the Chicken Shawarma, too. They were so flavorful. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, but I sat there smiling and slowly eating. Belly full and heart so happy. The coffee is not pictured but that was amazing, too. We were so happy that we ordered a chicken sandwich to go so that we could share it with my mother in law. Tony is the REAL DEAL. He has put his heart and soul into the food he prepares, you can taste it in every bite. I walked out of that restaurant feeling blessed! I can't wait to go back. I'm planning another trip in March. In the meantime, I hope YOU enjoy this food as much as I did. Thanks again, Tony for making a chicken sandwich that was so good that it motivated me to have something to look forward to when it felt like the world was ending. I'm wishing you so much success!

I came here on a Saturday night after being rejected from every trendy restaurant in the area and god was I happy I did. I’ve eaten twice here now and both times the food has been EXCEPTIONAL. The lamb birria, the fried chicken and the crunch wrap are stand outs. Incredibly flavorful. The homemade hot sauce and ranch were also fantastic. The owner was also very friendly. Cannot recommend this place enough.

After 2 years of wanting to try Hen House NYC, we finally made it! It was so damn good! We will definitely be back every time we're back in the city.

Incredibly delicious food. Not too fatty, perfectly seasoned! We had chicken shawarma wrap, and Lamb Birria awere simple and delicious. Falafel is so tender, authentic and not oily at all. One of the best Lebanese food we’ve tried.

The menu is small and so it's easy to pick the food. We got the 1+2 chicken combo. Chicken is very crunchy and has good flavor. We did wait a little long to get the food, but the food was overall good.

Every time I want to remember what this place is called, I forget. I had a chicken shawarma here once, and it was delicious. I tried the knefe pancakes on another day and it was too good. For anyone who left a review stating that the pancake wasn’t good over delivery… this is not the dish to get delivery (clearly). Everything needs to be hot and melty for you to understand the amazingness of this dish. I was scared since I’ve never had knefe and also the cheese… but it’s worth it. Super big. I have been sleeping on this culture in terms of food, but don’t worry! I’m awake now. Customer service a1. I’m leaving a review so I can stop forgetting lol

Have wanted to visit here for over a year and it did not disappoint. The best schwarma I've ever had, hands down. Every ingredient is perfect, down to the crunch of the pickles. The guy at the counter was awesome and gave me a free sample of the lamb just so I could try it Not to be missed

I ordered a lamb shawarma and a lemonade, both were delicious. I’d love to go again and try more foods from their menu!!
