Qanoon Restaurant

Traditional Palestinian cooking is served at this Chelsea restaurant, with recipes inspired by the owner's mother and family farm. The menu draws on dishes such as makloubeh, a rice, eggplant, and meat preparation, and molokhia, a soup made from leaves. The kitchen's cooking also reflects the farm's traditional grill, used for pita and za'atar bread, dips, meat, and vegetables. Qanoon means "grill" in Arabic, and the restaurant brings Palestinian food to New York City through recipes the owner grew up learning and eating. Its specialty is Palestinian cuisine rooted in family tradition, including preparations connected to the owner's upbringing in a Palestinian town and the farm where his family grew produce. Located in Chelsea.
