Karam's Middle East Bakery

Felt like walking into my family's kitchen. Incredible hospitality and food that is fresh, authentic and SO flavorful. I ordered the chicken freedman (crispy) based on a recommendation and it was sooo delicious. Also loved the fresh pita and hummus! The owners were so kind and appreciative and you can tell they're a staple in the community. They know half the customers by name! Great vibe, food and people. Can't wait to come back!

This is my favorite place to eat while visiting central NY. The food is amazing. Hummus, Kibbe, tabbouleh, fresh pita bread, it's all absolutely amazing. Seagan and Mary are the nicest people you'll ever meet. This is a must stop location if you enjoy Middle Eastern food!

I seriously can't get enough of the Lebanese food at Karam's. I always bring my wife here because we really love the hummus. One of the best dining places in town!

Authentic food. Great tasting, have never had a bad meal here. And they will explain what is in any of the dishes. ALWAYS leave full. Dine in or takeout!

Great food and atmosphere family business. Stop every time I'm in the area.

Great place for hummus and meat pies. I recommend this shop frequently.

5 star experience unless you have no idea what you are talking about. Hummus on point and great wrap options.

I visited here with a friend around breakfast time and it was excellent. We got the squash and eggs, meat and eggs, and meat and potatoes all of which were flavorful and delicious. The staff was welcoming and attentive and there was a strong sense of community within the space. I highly suggest stopping for either some fresh baked goods or a nice Lebanese meal.

I have quite a weakness for any middle eastern cuisine, and Karam's Bakery is definitely one of them! Absolutely delicious, getting gyro's especially is one of the best in the entire area! Please go to this gem of a restaurant to try amazing food, you won't regret it! :)

An absolutely wonderful place to eat, I highly recommend stopping here and eating in (although they do take out as well). This is some of the most delicious food I have eaten in the area. Everyone who works there is amazing too. 10/10!

There is so much to love about Karam’s. Their hummus is the best, their pita is amazing and you can buy pretty much everything they offer on the menu in their take home shelves. Food is great and it has a welcoming atmosphere. Service is also quick even when it gets busy.

I have been a customer for years and years. Food is great, owners are wonderful people and it feels like home when I'm there!

This place is excellent. Have eaten there many times and never had a meal that wasn’t outstanding. People are friendly and the food is top notch. Also the prices are very reasonable.
I would highly recommend this spot!

Food is consistently great, no changes in quality or flavor. New items come out in addition to all the favorites. Associates are polite and treat you like a friend, not someone with a wallet. If it'd possibly will continue going there for another 40 years

The owners are fabulous people. They make you feel like you're part of the family. The food is great and their bread is made fresh every morning. The red pepper hummus and fattoush salad are my favorites. If you live to be 100, they'll even bake you a cake.

One of MV’s finest! Their hummuses are some of the best you’ll ever have. The fresh pita bread is so simple, yet so good, and their staff is always great. Btw, try the crispy chicken over rice, too.

Unpretentious, authentic Lebanese food. Thank you Mary and John for your kindness to me! God Bless you! We enjoyed the food immensely! Virginia and son James

They have the best food. If you are looking for great lebanese food, this is the place. They are always friendly and helpful.

I am bit biased since I have know this family since I was a boy. The owner himself oversees everything. If anything is not right, he is on top of it right away. The food is super, always fresh. Those of all ethnic backgrounds are commonly seen having lunch, all enjoying the wonderful atmosphere. If this is your only stop to Utica, I would me this a priority.

A small but amazing middle eastern resteraunt, amazing falafel, plenty of pita bread, great hummus, and so much more. An easily missed gem that is definetlt worth your time.
