What our guests are saying
First time in Brooklyn coming from Boston. We ordered the hummus and chicken shawarma platter. It came with warm pita bread and salad. Absolutely delicious! The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Would definitely come back again and I highly recommend if you are in the area shopping. Will need to try additional more dishes because everything tasted good and looks good!

Kemo's Halal Bite is an absolute gem if you're looking for flavor-packed food and a cozy cafe vibe all in one spot. I ordered the special chopped cheese wrap and it was nothing short of phenomena, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It’s honestly one of the best wraps I’ve had in a long time. What really sets this place apart is their Yemeni coffee section.
