ive tried a lot of shawarma places down steinway and duzan is definitely among the best of them. i got the arayes and chicken shawarma which were both very filling and flavorful. they were generous with sauces and the hummus and baba ghanoj sides. i enjoyed the tahini and duzan sauce but only wish i got garlic sauce to pair with the chicken shawarma and pita. the only downside is they dont provide any veggies unlike some other shawarma places, but who cares about some leaves when the meat is this good. they get a ton of delivery orders so its prob worth calling 20 mins ahead to order if you dont want to wait for your food.

I was introduced to this restaurant by my co-worker and I was obsessed with it. I love the chicken shawarma bowl which breaks down to a few meals for me. I always add more pita but always run out. They are generous with the meal. I always order the chicken with fries and hummus, duzan and harissa sauces. Always get extra sauce!

I saw this spot on IG via a foodie influencer (which I am growing more wary of) and decided to come try this for myself. I've been here twice now and I will say the quality has been consistent. It's an easy grab for a quick bite to eat, you order at the counter and then they call once your order is ready. There's a good amount of seating consisting of benches and tables despite it being under constriction the first time I went, not sure if they have plans to expand. I've had the chicken schwarma wrap, platters, hummus and falafels - everything was made fresh and delicious. You can also customize with any sauce you'd like, they have them available at the tables for your convenience. Overall, I feel like this is a great go to spot when you don't know what to eat in Astoria or are craving Mediterranean food.

Yummy! Got the beef shawarma plate for lunch with hummus and fries as the sides. If you dine in, you don't need to choose only one sauce! They give three sauce bottles for you to use. Loved the pita that it came with as well. Next time, I'd get the salad as a side instead of the fries! Think it would freshen up the meal more. Service was quick and simple.

2/2 Food; 1/1 Value; 0.5/1 Service; 1/1 Ambience I have been frequenting Duzan since 2019 and to this day their shawarma is unmatched in NYC! Even though I no longer live in the area, the food is so alluring that I have commuted to Astoria for Duzan and Duzan alone. I don't know what magic they do to tenderize and flavor the meat that has me returning time and again. I ought to try more items from Duzan, but honestly, the shawarma is so good that I can't but help order the platter every time. The chicken and beef are both fantastic options, being superbly flavorful and robust. I would say that the chicken is just moderately better because the beef is a very lean cut that is not as much. The rice, fries, and salad have all been good standard sides that I've tried in the past, but I would highly recommend either the hummus or baba ganoush as at least one of the sides in a platter. In particular, the slight smoky flavor of the baba ganoush perfectly compliments the meats. Each platter is also served with beautifully golden and soft garlic pita, which is great for either dipping or making into a little sandwich. As for the sauces, it is always a great idea to come with friends so that you can order a bunch of sauces to share. My stand outs are the garlic spread, harissa, and classic white sauces. The garlic spread is very potent and be prepared to boast garlic breath for hours thereafter, but it's worth it. The harissa is not that spicy, but certainly packs a punch; the white sauce is a pure classic for shawarma. Regardless of what you order, however, the food always tastes fresh and is served piping hot sliced off the vertical spits. The staff is friendly, but be prepared for a long wait if you go in person and do not order ahead. Duzan is a very popular establishment in the community, so the wait time to order and receive food can be very long, particularly during Ramadan. The ambiance is very casual with picnic like tables indoors and outdoors (weather permitting, not heated), and I believe it's because they are under construction, but is has also been in this state for several years now. Albeit casual with hole-in-the-wall vibes, the store is maintained well and I've always found the premises clean. For the high quality of fresh food and generous portion sizes-- I only finish the platters if I am starving-- Duzan is certainly worth it!

The food here is heavenly! Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had. The food is very fresh and flavorful. I've only gotten takeout here but it's great every time. Most recently I had the Sabich bowl (eggplant) and it was delicious. We also got the baba ganoush, which has a unique but delightful flavor. I love their pita!

Ordered the combo platter! The beef kebab was probably my favorite. Loved the portion and variety (salad, humus, rice). Meats were well flavored but on the dry side. Pita with the garlic aioli was fire!! The side dipping sauces were bomb! Would go back. Current under construction so there a few outdoor tables to sit at outside and like 4 seats indoors.

HOLY CRAP how did I not know about this!? If this were closer it'd be a go-to spot! Like, I could consider doing delivery for this and I NEVER do delivery. Ample portion size - easily two days worth for the mix shawarma hummus is GOOD, and they put the sauces on the side for controlled dipping (read: dunking). You'd never realize this place is IT from how it looks on the outside. A shame they're far away from the thoroughfare.

This was a little gem that we discovered in Paterson NJ. While the locals knew of it, it was my first outing here. We ordered the mixed grill platters. One that came with rice and the other that came with french fries. There was a good variety of meat which included kebab skewer, boneless chicken cubes and chicken Shawarma meat. All the meats were very well marinated and very juicy. Good quality rice and crispy french fries. We also got an order of hummus, that came with veggies and olives. It was very well presented and looked vibrant. Service is countertop and then you wait for your name or number to be called out. The ambience was Baron. They had picnic style tables inside and that's where we sat. I plan on visiting them soon again
