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.
We take dietary needs seriously. Our entire kitchen is Zabiha Halal, and our Vegan Falafel is prepared separately to ensure 100% plant-based purity. Safe for every diet.
No frozen shortcuts. Our Shawarma is marinated for 24 hours and stacked by hand on the vertical spit daily. We use fresh herbs, premium meats, and traditional Lebanese spices.
Stop overpaying on UberEats and DoorDash. Ordering Direct on this site saves you up to 30%. No service fees, no markup—just the best price, guaranteed.
Whether you're rushing to the Morgan L Train or need a quick lunch at Essex Crossing, direct orders jump to the front of the line. Faster prep times for our local neighbors.
