Hayat’s Kitchen

Very good food. Recommend you try it!!! We had the Vegetarian Combo Platter with hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouli, grape leaves, and falafel. The hummus tasted mostly fresh and quite good. Loved the tabouli!! I would go back just for the tabouli. Liked the baba ghanoush, but it was a bit lacking in flavor. I've had better. The grape leaves were excellent! Well balanced flavors. And the falafel was very good. Not greasy and very tasty. Flavors you will crave. We also had the chicken and beef kabobs. The chicken was a little overcooked, so it was a bit dry, but the flavors were very good. The beef was not the best quality, but still very good. I recommend both, but wish both had been juicier. The garlic dipping sauce was excellent. Would prefer more garlic, but it was very good. The pita was very fresh and very good. The pistachio baklava was excellent. Very flakey. Makes you want to come back for more. The staff was very friendly and nice. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. A nice dining experience. It gets quite busy. Pretty small parking lot and limited street parking in this area. There are a lot of Lebanese restaurants in this area and I recommend you try this one for yourself. Bring a date.

Nice casual dining. It's rather affordable for the amount of food you get, and it can be cheaper if you order the amount you can finish. Lebanese restaurants tend to use copious amount of garlic, but this place does easier. Not sure that's because we don't look like them, or that's how they always do. The atmosphere was interesting. We dine in the building, and the lighting was a bright daylight white. Maybe it is more appealing if it was more soft white, but that's just how I felt. I like the flavors of my plate and will consider coming back when I'm in NoHo.

Came here on Sunday night. The patio was busy. The servers were very nice and friendly. We had the chicken shish tawook, the vegetarian plate and some falafels. All of the dishes were beautifully presented and tasted very good. The falafels were nice and hot, crispy on the outside. The chicken was nicely seasoned and grilled. The portions were huge. Plenty of leftovers. We had some baklava and it was outstanding. Not too sweet and pleasant for an after dinner treat.

Hayat kitchen is one of my favorite place The foods are amazing, Staff are very nice & friendly specially Nova overall everything is great Thank you Nova

I was part of a 14 person group there for a retirement party. We had excellent service, and in several courses we had cold appetizers (I particularly loved the spicy hummus, and the yogurt was so good I ordered some to take home with me!), hot appetizers (a wonderful cheese roll was my favorite), and then they brought out the main dishes. I had the chicken skewer on a bed of rice, and the delicious chicken was so tender I could cut it with my fork. There was wonderful tea throughout, and tasty Lady fingers and baklava for desert. Everyone in the group loved everything they tried. I enjoyed my experience there so much, I am taking a visiting friend there for dinner in two weeks!
