I ordered a Chicken Mole Burrito. Through class pass and it was completely inedible. It was so salty. I had to throw it away. Please do better. Especially if most of your customers go on their lunch break and I took a 15 minute walk to this place, and it was very disappointing

I love this place so much! The food is really great, and affordable. Plus, I love that the supporting migrants and migrant causes. It feels like a win-win all around. I love their crispy cauliflower wrap, which never disappoints. The sweet potatoes are amazing. The spiced lemonade is unlike anything I’ve ever had and I can’t stop ordering it. If I had one complaint it would be that the space is a little tiny, and feels a little more like a fast food environment, but it’s always clean, and the staff are so nice, it totally makes up for it. Plus, the operated the Ballfields Cafe in Central Park, which is casual and outdoors, so if you’re looking for ambience you can’t get better than that. I’ve been coming back and back and back! I love it!

The Migrant Kitchen is a true gem on the Upper West Side! The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels inspired, blending Middle Eastern and Latin American flavors in a way that’s both creative and comforting.

The staff are warm, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish — perfect for a casual lunch, brunch, or dinner with friends.

I especially loved the chicken shawarma bowl — juicy, perfectly seasoned, and served with vibrant sides that made the whole plate come alive. Their hummus and sauces are also fantastic!

Overall, The Migrant Kitchen is more than just a restaurant — it’s a celebration of culture, community, and great food. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something fresh and flavorful on the Upper West Side.

Great food from multiple cuisines with good portions and decent prices. Good amount of seating, friendly staff and good selection of options including breakfast food in the morning and sweet pastries/cookies. Great place to check out if watching a movie at the AMC nearby.

We had the lamb and mushroom, spinach cheese empanadas, the half roasted chicken bowl and the pistachio croissant and loved them all. The hot sauce is very spicy.

I stopped in looking for something healthy and hopefully affordable which was a success! The fattoush salad with salmon was super delicious, it’s definitely going to become a regular go-to of mine. The lamb sorta sounds amazing and will need to try that too. Friendly and hospitable service! All around, a great neighborhood spot.

We bought 2 of their cucumber mint lemonade. One is large and one is small then my friend argued that it’s the same size and it is. They use a taller and a shorter cup but they have the same exact volume so you pay more for the same size. See video attached

Got the chicken burrito. The filling was salty. The chicken pieces were too huge to be eaten properly. The cheese quality was very sub par. The whole combination was not worth at all.

Came in to eat dinner before watching a movie. And I was pleasantly surprised by the recommendation for the lamb torta. The price was a little much for me but still decide to try it and it was very good. The meat was very flavorful and was basically a torta. My only critique was the bread was a toasted a little too much so it got flakey. That’s really it and the place was very clean and the gentleman at the counter was great and provided grade A costumer service and told me to have a great day after I left which is always a plus! Hope the owners and managers take note of that man’s work ethic! Will definitely come back to try the other yummy things on this menu!

Feb ‘23 update: the management made it right and I had a very enjoyable visit. Rating adjusted.

Unfortunately very disappointed with the size and quality of the empanadas, considering how overpriced it is. The crust was soggy (meaning it was microwaved), while the meat was dry and lacking flavors. I also didn’t like that the server was looking intently at the tipping screen during the payment. Giving two stars since he was otherwise friendly.
