This is the place to go for Middle Eastern food in CT. Having traveled extensively across the Middle East over the past decade for work – I teach courses on Middle East history, politics, and media at a local college – I am so delighted to have discovered that Westville Emesa is within a short drive of our house. The food is delicious, authentic, and made with love, and when you enter the restaurant you are treated like family. The voices of Wael Kfoury, Elissa, and others sound in the background and the black tea at the end of a meal is not to be missed. Needless to say, I will be going back and my New Years resolution of eating out once a month will be broken in January. Oh Well.

This place was far beyond expectation!!! We had it for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved the lamb and chicken shawarma! My boyfriend is half Syrian and says the food reminded him of his Sitto’s (Grandma). Very authentic! The cheese mannaesh was out of this world… I could just eat 10 of those. The excellent customer service and delicious food will definitely bring us back.

Kinda hole in the wall, walked passed it a few times trying to find it. Really nice girl took our order, chicken shwarma meal was pretty solid. Can’t argue with the prices either.

Decent food. Would have loved more roasted veggies with my $20 shish-kabob (1 slice of tomato and small slice of onion). Good hummus.

I came here with family on a whim and was absolutely delighted. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious (they make the bread while you watch!) And the service is great. Strongly recommend for a casual eat in lunch/dinner or for takeout. My mom says she would come back here just for the tea.

Fantastic food and warm hospitality makes this restaurant one I will return to the next time I’m in the area. The small appetizer sampler made for a delicious lunch with a great variety of fresh tastes and textures. The staff was friendly, helping me pick out a dessert from the display case and gifting me a hot cup of tea.
