Birria LES Lower East Side

This is the top 3 places we visited while In NYC. Finding halal food can be a challenge for people coming from London- I thought halal birria was out of the question. Such a gem , the lady working from tills was kind and informative. The food was delicious and so yummy, 2 years on and I still think about it . Went there twice (we stayed in diamond district and still travelled to eat here) consome so lush and rich , birria was perfect !

I was visiting from Toronto, Canada and kept hearing great things about Birria Les, so I decided to stop by. This place serves some of the best halal birria I have ever had. As soon as I walked in, the smell coming from the kitchen told me the food was going to be good. The staff were friendly and quick, and you can tell they put real care into the food. I ordered the birria tacos with consome and they were incredible. The tortillas were crisp, the beef was tender and full of flavor, and the broth had a rich taste that made every bite better. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh and well made. I also tried the quesabirria and it had the perfect mix of cheese, beef, and crunch. The space has a real New York vibe. It is small, energetic, and focused on serving quality food. You can see the kitchen right in front which adds to the experience. The location on Rivington Street is great for grabbing a quick bite that still feels special. If you are looking for delicious halal birria in the Lower East Side, this spot should be at the top of your list. I will definitely come back the next time I am in New York.

Amazing flavours, 10/10 couldn’t fault a thing. Every dish we ordered tasted amazing and the flavours were authentic and tasty. The consume itself was so delicious, I could’ve eaten it like soup by itself. The food was affordable and we spent about $45 between two people and were stuffed at the end of it. We got a mix of chicken and beef and enjoyed both equally. This halal Mexican food really lives upto the hype and its reputation.
