New Sands Restaurant

the best middle eastern food in the area. everything on the menu is delicious and i highly recommend the chicken tikka and beef shawarma!!!

This is my favorite middle eastern restaurant the lentil soup is the best. I always order the combination tray a bit of everything my absolute favorite is the beef shawarma full of flavor. Chicken kafta. Chicken cream chop is so tasty we can’t get enough. always fresh and the house dressing is amazing it goes with everything try this place. Can’t go wrong. oh yeah and the pita sandwiches are awesome!!! I order abut 4 times a month and it’s a ton of food.

Great experience. There was only one server in the place and a few tables on a Friday. I was a bit hesitant at first but that quickly disappeared when the Iraqi salad came. Tiny diced cucumber and tomatoes with mint and a light dressing.
We mentioned how much we liked the ice tea so the server kept our glasses full. I had the make your own combo, 3 items with chicken kafta, falafel and chicken shawarma. It comes with a mountain of yellow rice, pickled veg and ‘stew.’ The falafel was outstanding. The garlic sauce is kickin. I’m still burping it up.
Aside from the shawarma, which was really grilled chicken, everything was spot on. The only problem was I ate so much, I could barely finish the piece of free baklava our server sat down on the table.
This place is the deal real Chaldean. I’m only bummed I didn’t come here sooner.

Received a flyer that this place had reopened. (Didn’t know it had closed.) so went there for the free hummus, and I like supporting small business.
I’m afraid that I can never recommend this place. Hummus was watery, and in no way, was it served as pictured on the menu. The lemon chicken rice soup was completely bland. I had to grab the lemon off my friends tabouli salad to add flavor.
I had the chopped potato (?). Potatoes were greasy when cut into. My friend had the lamb shanks. They appeared tender, but my friend said they tasted bad.
On the good side. The service was good. Our server was attentive, we were the only ones there on a Saturday night! The place was clean also, but that’s the best I can say.

Open again! Yummy middle eastern food! Fattoush salad is crispy and delicious. Good takeout kinda place.
