Balade Your Way

My go to place for authentic Lebanese food in NYC. Fresh ingredients, amazing taste, and best staff - shoutout to Lara for being super helpful and welcoming!

Amazing place! I went last night and the food was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and so flavorful. I got a chicken shawarma bowl and it was so authentic. Everyone was so welcoming. As we were eating, the owner came and even provided us with lemonade and dessert on the house! Such a great experience and looking forward to going again soon.

Food was soo yummy !! Lara and staff were super friendly and made us feel soo welcome

Genuine Lebanese food. Best kebbe I ever had!!! Everything is fresh, and full of flavor. I go there at least once a week. Service espetacular!

One of the only good things about working in midtown was getting to go here for lunch on a regular basis.

Amazing shawarma! Will come back again

My go to restaurant for lunches.

We needed a quick dinner before watching Aladdin and I found Balade - Your Way. It was nearby, and seemed relatively healthy, so it seemed like a good option. It was a Wednesday at around 6 pm and it was pouring. There were quite a few delivery orders but it seems like it would be a more popular lunch spot. I did the beef shawarma bowl. Although it wasn’t really beef shawarma. It was more like dry overcooked strips of cheap steak. The rest of the ingredients of the bowl were good though. You can select as many as you want. I went with the rice vermicelli base, and added pretty much all of the toppings they had, except for olives and feta. Hubby had double protein - shish tawook (chargrilled chicken) and lamb kebab. The chicken was also very dry. Lamb was only a little bit dry, so this was the best one. Maybe it’s better during lunch hours, since there would be more turnover. Or maybe it’s better to stick to the vegetarian proteins. Either way, I won’t be back to find out.

Quick spot to grab a bite if you’re craving middle eastern staples. I love their pita chip with their selection of hummus. You can customize your own bowl or salad.
