Born in Bushwick. Serving the Lower East Side.

Semkeh began as a neighborhood staple just steps from the Morgan Ave L Train in Bushwick. What started as a spot for late-night commuters and local artists quickly became a destination for authentic Lebanese street food. After years of serving the Brooklyn community, we brought our signature energy to Manhattan, opening our second kitchen on Broome Street near Essex Crossing.

We don’t just serve ‘cuisine’—we serve soul food. From our Halal-certified meats slow-roasted on vertical spits to our crispy, made-to-order Vegan Falafel, every dish is rooted in tradition but built for the NYC hustle. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch in the Lower East Side or a late-night platter in East Williamsburg, Semkeh delivers the real taste of Lebanon.

Why Locals Choose Semkeh?
