According to Antony Nassif, the chef and owner of Hen House, “the shawarma scene in New York is nonexistent.” He’s trying to change that.
Located in the East Village in Manhattan, Hen House is a popular Smorgasburg stand turned restaurant that specializes in Lebanese-style shawarma with extra-garlicky toum, fresh pickles, za’atar lemon slaw and French fries.
In addition to the pitas and sandwiches, Nassif brings his extensive background as a fine dining chef to the ever-evolving menu, with creative takes on classic dishes like his knefe buttermilk pancakes with blueberry compote.

When i say i still think about it, and that still to this day at least a decade later the best/freshest lamb i had in life. & he was as cool and chill as he is here.
Glad to see the old favs/hits are still alive years later 🫡
I’m Syrian but Lebanon has always had a special place in my heart. I visited Zahle when I was younger, what a beautiful country.
