Yonkers Oasis Al-Waha

Have never been here but have had the food as my friend ordered it for an event… what a joke… they did not send CLOSE to what they were supposed to send and half the crowd didn’t even get any food… we had to go out and buy extra pitas… this place is untrustworthy and will try to con you… be warned

BEWARE AND stay AWAY!!! My experience the first time was good. I ordered the mixed grill. It was delicious, however the second time I went they gave me my usual order (mixed grill) with RAW rice. When I questioned the waiter, he told me the chef was new. A few months (close to a year) later I decided to go back and celebrate my graduation there. I invited my family (15 people) there for dinner. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and AGAIN (3^rd time) ordered the mixed grill for a few of us. After waiting for close to 2 hours, It was TERRIBLE. It was missing the most important part of the entrée, which was the different types of meat (lamb chops, beef skewers, chicken kofta). We basically got a few pieces of chicken cubes and 1 beef kofta. Everything else that was supposed to be included (that we got during the first visit) was missing. We questioned the waiter and he responded with the same previous answer «the chef is new». Another upsetting thing was their falafels. They looked burnt and smelled like old and reused oil. To make our experience even more traumatic, my mother got sick a few hours after her meal and was rushed to the ER. Looking back at the bill I was overcharged $ 57 and I paid close to $ 300 dollars for terrible food. I complained to the owner, however he was very cold and dismissive. If you want a decent meal, I strongly recommend you stay away from this horrible place. NEVER GOING BACK!!!

Every once in a while you come across a truly wonderful and inspiring dining experience. Well, this wasn’t it.
I have eaten take out from here a few times, and decent food. The falafels were usually on point. I decided to order food from here for my son’s baptism. About 250 – 300 people. I met with the owner (Jawad) in advance, we agreed upon a menu and I even sampled all the items. Having ordered for church many times before, I knew how much food we needed, and I ordered even more than that, just to be on the safe side. I ordered about 8 – 9 items, and 5 trays of each. Based on past experience, this would be more than enough food, no question. I give him the deposit amount he requests, and he tells me to stop by on Monday after the event with the balance.
Come Sunday morning at 10:30 when the food is supposed to arrive… nothing. Not a word from the driver telling me he is on the way, nothing. I call and call and call, no answer. Finally I hear from them saying he is running a few mins late (this is already 10:45). Food finally shows up at 11:15, (45 mins late), and there are people already lined up waiting to eat. Ok — well let’s hope the food is amazing and makes up for it.
As we carry the trays in and set them up, we realize while they did deliver the right number of trays, they were all literally less than half full. Some were even closer to ¼ full… ridiculous. I immediately call Jawad, text him. etc, no answer. The food was average quality at best, and I’m being generous.
Horrible experience overall, over 100 of my guests didn’t even get food.
When Jawad finally returns my calls a few days later, I tell him, and he sounds surprised (did he not read any of my dozen texts, which he agrees he received). He even said «do you know how much it would cost me if I filled up the trays all the way???» — which tells me that HE KNEW he was sending incomplete trays. At no point was he apologetic, sympathetic, or anything close. He even threatened me after the fact while we were discussing the balance that I owed him. I had no problem paying what I owed, but I felt he should at least admit he was in the wrong here, but instead he got angry and threatened legal and «other» action.
Terrible, terrible experience.

The food here is real deal Arabic (levant) food. Their food tastes just as it would at a family dinner. The only downside to this place is the that they can work on Arab time haha, which means you might have a longer wait for your food then your use to. In all fairness though the food is most likely made from scratch so it takes awhile to make. It is also probably the best place for a laid back vibe to get hookah. If your into Arabic food definitely check this place out.

Amazing atmosphere delicious food the most tasteful hookah great prices and services don’t miss out

Great food, service, and affordable!!! Best hummus and babaganoush and meat pies I’ve had. The only thing I didn’t like was the desert, which the waitress recommended, but she said it didn’t look like the way they usually made it.
