★★☆☆☆ I didn't like the food there, I tried the mix grill plate but it was not good No taste. The bread look and taste old The hummus had no flavor. I will not go there again, the atmosphere of the restaurant was boring. Posted on December 20, 2013

★★★★★ Really good place to have shawarmas and a nice sandwich. Clean place and polite service. Posted on February 5, 2011

★★☆☆☆ We read a lot of reviews here and decided to go there. We were disappointed. We went for lunch, there were not many people. We ordered simple shawarma and a mixed platter. It took about 40 minutes to come. And when it arived, the serve size was redicilous. For the price, I thought I would get decent serve atleast. We were not satisfied with the tase or quality either, so we decided not to order anything more, we finished the food in 5 minutes and left. Would never go again. Apparently they have an outdoor hooka place which was not working in the lunch time. I can imagine it cannot be a place where you would want to take your family. Will never go back again Posted on September 13, 2010

★★★☆☆ Food here is ok. I used to like their shawarmas, but the last time I had it I ended up getting sick (not sure if it was the meat or the sauce). So I haven't been back since. Posted on March 3, 2010

★★★★★ One of the best halal burgers in NY Posted on February 25, 2010

★★★☆☆ burger suck, arab food is good, the hummus is one of the best! The cocktail drink is worth it only if its fresh! Posted on February 8, 2010

★★★☆☆ This place has good Shawarmas, and hummus. people claim here that they have really good burgers, but their burgers are awful. No taste, dry and just lacking flavor. Go for the shawarma, for burgers look elsewhere. Posted on February 5, 2010

★★★☆☆ Friends told me this place has good burgers, but i had it and it was awful. I would say stick with the falfeel & hummus which is great here! Posted on December 16, 2009

★★★★★ this one of the best restaurants out in steinway food is great service can be better non smoking people and kids will suffer from shisha,will be lucky if no one smoking shihsa around you Posted on September 12, 2009

★★★★☆ i liked the food. it was a bit bland but tasty. just had to get over the overwhelming hookah smell. Posted on November 2, 2008

★★★★☆ One of the best halal Cheeseburgers in the city. But other than that everythign else is sub-par. They have lamb chops, shwarama, kabob etc. Tried it all and the only thing i get now are the cheeseburgers and the fruit cocktail. Shisha is also a hit and miss. Used to be the best on Steinway but quality has slowly decreased. ONLY GET THE PEACH SHISHA. Trust Me on this one. Posted on March 12, 2008

★★★★★ i've been going to rawsheh for years now, the food is excellent at a very affordable price. as mentioned earlier, the hamburger with fries combo at rawsheh is nothing short of spectacular: the best hamburger in NY bar none. yes, it IS that good with an excellent grilled taste. if you are looking for a more traditional cuisine, the hammous here is also of very high quality. while i personally do not like shawarmas, it is good here, kebobs are great also. the green tea is very good here as well and helps to digest after a big meal. the tea also goes great with sheesha which i have to say has been consistently well above average especially considering all the local competition. ask for the "fresh double apple" and you will be rewarded with a long lasting, intensely sweet flavored, smooth smoking companion. i love this place!

★★★★☆ much better cheeseburgers than the average crown fried. Posted on September 27, 2006

★★★★★ First i beleive the restaurant is spelled El Rawsheh. the hamburgers here r THE BEST hamburgers i have ever eaten in all of NYC! (im not a fan of cheese but yes they do have cheeseburgers also) and its not even pricey. A+ Posted on September 27, 2006

★★★★★ Best shawarmas in town, closest we've found in taste to KSA. Highly recommended. Posted on September 8, 2006
