replying to u/Delaywaves: Tamam on the Upper East Side is fantastic if you’re looking for more fast-casual-style places. Beyond that there’s been a big wave of fancier sit-down middle eastern restaurants in recent years, like Glasserie in Greenpoint.
“their UES location is trash. Want dried out food, thin store-bought pitas that get soggy, and lettuce as your main topping? Then I guess it's your place.”
