"I’ve eaten here three times so far and always the same order: Lamb Shawarma which comes with a bed of yellow rice, a small mound of salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion , grilled sumac onions, and white tahini sauce. It’s delicious. I also get a side of the seasoned regular fries which are served nice and hot with a side of ketchup. The fries are very good. For my third trip I tried adding another appetizer but was disappointed: “Mediterranean Pickles” which on the menu is described as “An assorted variety of pickled vegetables,” but it sadly turned out to be nothing more than pickle slices. I mean I do love pickles, but 14 pickle slices was a bit too much; that was the only thing that I didn’t finish (I left more pickles wasted than I ate, so that will affect my original 5 rating and bring it down to 4. Sumac definitely serves one of my favorite meals on Staten Island and it’s so much better than any kind of lamb over rice served by a food truck. The customer service is always very pleasant and I really have no complaints about my experiences here other than the misleading menu description for “Mediterranean Pickles.”"

The food here is consistently excellent; however, I was disappointed to find that the Kunafa cheese pastry didn't contain any cheese at all. View menu

Not authentic at allEspecially if you come from the Mediterranean backgroundIf you look for authentic food, go to Astoria in Queens or Paterson in New Jersey

My experience was terrible. The food was cold and lacked any flavor. I ordered the assorted pickle appetizer, but all I got was a container of dill pickle slices that I can find in my own fridge. I won’t be returning.

The owner of the restaurant was quite unpleasant, attempting to harass me for parking in the plaza without understanding my intentions. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place, as this experience makes me reluctant to visit the establishment again. View menu

I visited this restaurant to take my family for a quick meal before heading out for ice cream, and I have no regrets! The food was absolutely delicious; I had the shrimp gyro and it was fantastic. My kids and husband enjoyed the chicken shawarma, and even though I don’t eat meat, their eagerness to finish their meals told me it was excellent—especially since my boys are quite picky eaters. The service was wonderful, with friendly and welcoming staff. I love this place, and my only regret is not coming here sooner!

We stopped by Sumac as we had a yearning for falafel. My wife ordered pickled vegetables and a falafel sandwich and I ordered the falafel sandwich and a lamb gyro sandwich. We received a Meze platter and a side order of pickles and the sandwiches. The stuffed rice grape leaves are served very hot which we were not accustomed to and the lamb gyro had a hot Mayo type dressing. The pitas were a little old. Overall the food was decent but not outstanding. Price was a little steep at $64 (w/credit card fees). The service was excellent and kitchen is very clean.
