“This seems best falafel platter so far on the east coast !!! Their white sauce adds a unique flavor to it. It’s a perfect platter to have … quality and quantity both are maintained. Service great, food great, atmosphere great . All 5s. It’s my twice a month menu with friends ..“

“Great experience at this iconic Dave's location. The lines can get pretty long, but the workers kept everything moving efficiently. The sliders are also quite reasonably priced. Everything was delicious. A must visit if you are in the area.“

“Great food from a vegan business run by vegans. The "chicken legs" are amazing and my daughter said the mac n cheese was the best she has ever tasted. Super friendly and enthusiastic staff. Whilst primarily a take-out there is a small seating area for those wanting to eat in. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“

“Great beef chapli kebabs! I went with the platter, definitely recommend. Not a fan of them pouring the sauces on top of the kebabs and rice so I suggest getting those on the side. Also, heads up, their chicken shawarma is ginormous! Great stuff for sure.“

“We have had our private event at this lovely restaurant. we used the main dining room area for a party of 46 of us. The menu was excellent with a great variety of meats and chickens and seafood, along with some vegetarian items. The staff has made us very comfortable and brought each cocktail and meal on time. The space is excellent for private events and small gatherings. Entire office loved everything.“

“Julie was sweet, knowledgeable, efficient, and a great professional server. The food was so yummy! We especially loved the spinach rolls, and babaganoush! The shishkabob and dumplings and cabbage rolls were all prepared very well and delicious!“

“The food is delicious I come here all the time and every time I come they treat me with respect on top of that The store is always clean and you get to choose so many toppings from the salad bar they have quesadillas. Barbecue pops, platter, the burgers and when I tell you this place it’s amazing. CANT GO WRONG!!“

“Alright! Where do i begin?! There were 4 people behind the counter and when i walked in, all four greeted me. The manager greeted at the ordering station and didnt overwhelm me to order my food as this was the first time being there. He asked me if id like any suggestions and we landed on the chicken platter with spicy chickpeas rice and cole slaw. Everything about this bowl was immaculate. The chicken was well seasoned and spiced, the chick peas were tender and savory, and the rice was such a great compliment to the protein. I also ordered their fries because why not!The portion size was generous but not overbearing. They had the mexican coke glass bottles which was a great choice to wash the food down with. I got the brown to top it all off and it was amazing. Chipotle, Qdoba, Halal Guys even have nothing on Juicy Platters. I definitely will be coming back with the family!“

“I just finished dining here for the 2nd time and my experience was amazing.I had The Lamb Shish & Chicken Adana combination platter, the meats were well done and the flavor was on point.Our waiter Salih suggested we try the Turkish Coffee and it did not disappoint, he made our experience 100% better.“

“Highly recommend and I would come again!We came as a party of 10 in Ramadan but the service was great. The staff were kind and attentive, food was served quickly, and it was delicious! We also got hummus, shepherd salad, and fries as starters to share, which were great. For entrees, I got the chicken sis with rice and the chicken was tender. I love their white sauce as well, so good! Portions were perfect. With tip our total was $35 per person which is reasonable for the amount of food we had.“

My favorites were the Lamb Adana, grilled meatballs and balloon bread paired with the Karişik meze tabaği.-I also thoroughly enjoyed the Sutlac (rice pudding) and kazandibi (milk pudding). This was my first time ever trying it.-This is a great place to visit if looking for authentic Mediterranean/Turkish cuisineVegetarian options: Great selection of plant based items such as falafel, eggplant stew, lentil dishes, an array of salad options, pasta and pizza.Parking: There is metered parking throughout the block of the restaurant“

“Food is really good but I waited nearly 20 minutes for my food. The burgers are great. Staff is friendly. They’re not wrong when they say you should get a double. I had two singles. The regular mash is good and the spicy mash is unique. The honey definitely makes it taste different than other burgers. Will definitely be back to try other parts of the menu.Parking: Parking is not too bad. Located right at the end of a busy Main Street. Not all of the meters work though“

““German Doner Kebab offers a delightful fusion of traditional flavors with a modern twist. The succulent meats, wrapped in warm, fluffy bread, are a true delight for the taste buds. Each bite bursts with a harmonious blend of spices and textures, leaving you craving more. The generous portions and friendly service make it a top choice for a quick and satisfying meal. Whether you’re a kebab connoisseur or new to the cuisine, German Doner Kebab is sure to leave a lasting impression.”The restaurant designed well. Döner was tasty but not like the classical Turkish döner or not like the Turkish döner in Germany. It was so spicy. It tasted like Indian food but it was tasty. Tastes good really but it's not like döner. It's something else but they call it German döner. Instead of that it was good experience to be there. I think I will go there again to taste the others. I tried chicken, the original chicken. It's name is the original. It was really good. One portion was not enough for me. If they will have one and a half it would be great but they don't have. You can just get one or two but two is more for me.“The restaurant’s design is appealing and sets a welcoming atmosphere. However, while the Döner was tasty, it diverged from the classical Turkish or German Döner, leaning towards spicier Indian flavors. Despite the deviation, the food was enjoyable, offering a unique twist on the traditional dish. I particularly savored ‘The Original Chicken,’ which lived up to its name with its flavorful taste. Portion sizes were generous, although an option between one and a half portions would be appreciated for those with bigger appetites. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I look forward to returning to sample more of their offerings.”“

“Nirvana Indian Kitchen exceeded all my expectations! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was out of this world. From the tender tandoori chicken to the rich and creamy paneer tikka masala, every dish was bursting with flavor. Can't wait to visit again!“

“Great little place. Food is all homemade and really good. World class Baba ghanoush and their lentil soup, as the kids would say, really hits! This place only has 9 tables and 3 of them are only for 2 people so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties unless you let them know ahead of time. The Baklava is also a stand-out. You definitely have to try this place if you are in the neighborhood!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access“

“Been eating At this lovely restaurant for years.. it’s about time to give them the review they deserve.. absolutely amazing and highly recommended to anyone who’s into authentic Mediterranean food.Shout out to Rayan and his brother for incredible services.“

“Classic balkan dishes served here. As a fellow Balkan their Cevapi were great! I also had the pepper salad on the side since I’ve always enjoyed eating that growing up. It’s always nice finding traditional food when I’m away from home. Got my own coworkers hooked on Bosnian food! They rated the Cevapi a 10/10“

“I am a chicken girl and can completely without reservation recommend any and all chicken dishes and sandwiches on the menu. I have had them all over and over. Also the French fries and green salad. They are my go to usually twice a week.Believe the listed menu needs to be updated price wise but still the best deals in town. A HuGE plus you have the Richard Tucker (google him) Park right across the street for seating. Linda“

“Holy moly! This place is AMAZING!!!! First time trying and it couldn't have been better! I'm in the middle of eating and had to pause to write this review because of how much we are all enjoying our food! The platters are a very hefty portion and they weren't cheap with the cheese on the fries either! Super friendly as well (I called to ask about something and he was super nice and helpful).“

“This place is cozy and has an amazing variety of Mediterranean cuisine. Excellent service!The pita is perfectly soft and goes very well with their homemade hummus and baba ganoush. Every dish is authentic and delicious. From their fresh mint lemonade to their dessert, everything was wonderful. I hope they stay around for a long time because we’ll be eating here more often. Thank you!“

“If you’re in the area, this is definitely one of your best options for middle-eastern cuisine. If you’re like me, picky about your meat, then just know their meat here is clean and not smelly. Plus, their dishes are authentic, and it does taste like your own mama cooked it ! Definitely worth the try with some friends/family!“

“Such a great place. The food was amazing, the restaurant is nice and cozy, and the staff are great. The Massaman Short Ribs are a must try, and the Blue Rain is so refreshing.Special shout out to our server Darrow! He made the night very enjoyable for us.“

“Absolutely outstanding! I recently visited Pidde Lahmajun and was blown away by both the flavor and service. Tunç and the entire team truly know how to make a customer feel special. Every bite of the Lahmajun was a delightful journey of taste, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff, especially Tunç and his friends, were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and customer service, but Pidde Lahmajun does just that. A solid 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!“

“This establishment left a very positive impression on me during my initial visit. The lively atmosphere and decor create an immersive experience reminiscent of Istanbul.The service provided was exceptional. Although I did not obtain the name of our server, I believe she may have been the owner. She consistently ensured that all our needs were promptly met.We commenced our meal with the delectable spicy hummus, accompanied by their exceptional bread. I also highly recommend the red lentil soup. For my main course, I savored the flavors of the mixed grill.I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting the city. You will not be disappointed.“

“Sami's Kebab House offers a delightful array of Afghan cuisine, featuring traditional dishes bursting with flavor. Their kebabs, grilled to perfection and seasoned with a blend of spices, are tender and succulent, offering a taste of authenticity with every bite. The menu also includes classics like Mantu, savory dumplings filled with seasoned meat and topped with a tangy yogurt sauce, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Don't miss their aromatic Kabuli Pulao, a fragrant rice dish infused with spices and topped with tender meat, carrots, and raisins, showcasing the rich and diverse flavors of Afghan cuisine.The owner’s (Sami) personal touch extends beyond the menu, as he takes the time to recommend dishes based on each diner’s preferences, ensuring a truly personalized dining experience. Their passion for Afghan cuisine shines through in every dish, making Sami’s Kebab House a destination worth revisiting time and time again.“

“Delicious food at a great price. Quick and easy meal to grab for lunch, without having to wait long at all. Been around here for 5 years and Its been my favorite spot that I go to for lunch at least once or twice a week. Definitely add the chipotle mayo, its a game changer.“

“We held my wife’s baby shower at this restaurant, and we have ordered from here on multiple occasions. First, the food is phenomenal. From the chicken kebab to the falafel, all of the food is fresh, and seasoned and cooked to perfection.Nora and her team essentially treat the entire restaurant, including patrons, as family. They welcome you with warmth and will work with you to do anything your heart desires, within reason. You will feel so close to Nora from the start that you will likely give her a hug before you leave.The baby shower was a complete success- the restaurant is beautiful without being too much of a spectacle- and even has a tuned piano, which allowed us to have live background music for the event.My wife had a wonderful day, and it was made possible by Nora and all of the great staff at The Bosphorus!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and GF friendlyKid-friendliness: We had 5 kids at the event so they made them chicken fingers and fries to be safe!Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, double door- we had someone in a wide wheelchair. They even walked with the person in the wheelchair holding an umbrella for her!“

“Easily one of my favorite halal carts in the city. Portion size is HUGE and for $8.99 chicken & rice is good. I love that it comes with lettuce tomato & chickpeas too for a nice added touch. Service is so quick and the food is so good. If you’re looking for a good halal cart look no further!“

“I love this place the food is so good and they have amazing and kind staff, best food place in all of new jersey!!Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options that are soooooo goodDietary restrictions: Has great halal food and vegetarian food i dream about this food sometimesParking: Very good and easy parkingKid-friendliness: I always get food from here with my 2 kids“

“We had our baby's first birthday party / Korean dohljanchi at Mado and it could not have been more perfect. Aret and everyone at the restaurant were so wonderful to work with. They were happy to work with my requests and made party planning so easy. The space was the perfect size with ample parking for our guests. The food was amazing and everyone raved about the pillowy bread, dips, and entrees. Highly recommend it whether it's for a family meal or event. (Photos by Lisi Halabi Photography)“

“Came here because while I was in Vegas, I was obsessed with Dave’s Chicken. I mean, it was just so good and the price was even better.I am happy to know that a Dave’s Hot Chicken is around the corner from my house now.Came with my husband and the food was pretty much the same. I will do say that the sliders need more Cole Slaw in them!!!Mac and cheese is really good so I very much recomend it. The fries are a must have and must try. The sliders come with Dave’s sauce, a big piece of crispy chicken, pickles and Cole slaw. Btw they’re Cole slaw is reallllly good. Not many places know how to do it.Staff is super friendly and they do keep the place clean, even though the people that come it, should be more careful with what they throw on the floor.The ambiance is very cool! I would come back for sure!Make sure you guys add some bar stools!!!Parking: Hard to find parking because it’s locationKid-friendliness: Great to bring kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Push door with a tiny step“

“It was our first time here and we loved the vibe. Very Indian decor, walls donned with Indian newspapers, brought back memories from home. Super friendly owners. We started off with keema pav- delicious, spicy and great portion size. We then got chicken dum biryani and Lal Maas curry, both of which were delectable. The biryani had right amount of spices and flavors and very tender chicken. It was served with a raita on the side. Great experience will surely be back to try the other varieties.“

“The food is very delicious, fresh, and it is a great portion. I like the sides that the sandwich comes with. The shawarma is very flavorful and perfect. I picked the lamb shawarma sandwich and would recommend it. The service was amazing and everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. All of our orders were correct. The ambiance was great too, it a nice and many tables to sit at. The music wasn't too loud. I would highly recommend this spot if you are in the area and looking for a good bite to eat.“

“I had tried a few different places to get my chicken over rice with salad and hands down this is the best that I have ever ever tasted great price for the amount you get I highly recommend this truck and my co workers also ordered food and everything was great thank you for “

“I had a very pleasant experience eating ćevapi with ajvar with my friend today. We indulged in some delicious sweets like palacinke, tres leche cake, and tulumba - all while watching Zvezda Granda on the TV. Truly felt like I was back home in the Balkans, with the soft chatters of Yugo in the room and the warm, vibrant energy of the restaurant owners. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to try a taste of the Balkans :))“

“Amazing service at Sami’s Kabab House LIC!! Me and my friends (group of 5) came here after class to break our fast during Ramadan and it was such an amazing experience. Service was courteous, fast, and excellent, we were seated immediately and given refreshments. We got the family combo, and each bite was perfection. Every kebab, especially the chicken tikka and lamb shank was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their kabuli pulao is also 10/10, some of the best I’ve had hands down! You can tell the owner takes real pride in what they do! It’s in an excellent neighborhood and I think everyone should come by and try this place. Worth every single penny spent, and I can’t stop recommending it enough. You’ve won our hearts Sami’s Kabab House, and we will definitely be back!! ❤️“

“The place I'd well lit, comfortable, and elegant without being ostentatious. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is fabulous! The phyllo scrolls stuffed with feta were divine and we could eat them forever. I had the lamb Adana and it was delicious! So flavorful. My friends has the falafel and the manti Turkish ravioli. Both were good but the manti was a new experience for us all. The mint flavor is strong in the yogurt sauce which we all loved. The texture and flavor of the ravioli in combination with the sauce makes you want to savor it and gobble it up all at once. Unfortunately, two of us were on medications that affect our appetites so we may have looked like we weren't enjoying ourselves as much as we actually were and this appeared to cause concern. They really want you to enjoy what you're eating and it's wonderful they take pride in what they do. What we didn't eat there, we gladly took with us! I'd you're looking for a reasonably priced delicious place to eat in that area, come here! It's wonderful!“

“Great service from a friendly crew. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food. Menu is a bit weird but seems to be highly customiziable, probably a good place to order online so you can see all the options available. Not a ton of seating indoors (2 seats) but there's a few tables outside.“

“My first time trying this new place and it was amazing!! the service was so great and nice. I got the “son of a bun” and it was soooo delicious. I also got the nutella churros and they were super good!! AND i got the onion rings and they were perfectly crispy. Highly recommend.“

“Great food,clean organized. light everywhere.i love it.a little expensive but it's worth it because the personal treatment,and good vibes.will come back often,and secure,you see cops everywhere.because of the precint.try their chicken wings!!“

“Loved the food! Metin provide such great service, from the free food to customizing the order exactly for over 40 people to all the good suggestions. Overall an amazing order. Highly recommend ordering from here for a fantastic catering meal.“

“I lived in Astoria for 5 years and never tried this place. Just had it and I am blown away by how good it is. It's so hard to differentiate between these shawarma/gyro places, but this one is a gem. I got the chicken kebab falafel platter. The chicken is flavorful, rice is fluffy, white sauce is tasty and not overpowering, and the falafel was outstanding - super light and crispy. I'm so glad I tried and will come back when I'm in Astoria again.“

“This is the nicest quick serve I’ve ever eaten at. We tried the roast chicken and got it at the mild level of spiciness. They have 7 or 8 levels. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. For our sides, we got fried cassava that was wonderfully crispy and steamed vegetables that tasted of citrus and hints of spice. It was served on lovely plates at comfortable tables. We’ll definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: The restaurant is Halal.“

“A Nice Lil Twist to Your Standard Halal... Offering Kale and Spinach and a Few Other Items Not Available Typically... I Split the Greens w Rice... Chicken Was Flavored Well... AND Why NOT Have Grilled Onion and Raw Pickled Onions As MyS3lf... Also They Offer a Thick N Sweet BBQ Sauce Along Side the Standard White... Polite Young Staff...“

“I ate it with Lamb-Yellow Rice-White Sauce (Béchamel Sauce) and added a barbeque sauce (free). The portion size is so large that an adult woman would be full after eating only half!My group ate chicken, and the chicken was delicious too! Tandoori feel - try it with half chicken and half lamb (combo)!Cards were accepted, and the basic dish costs $9.Everyone said there was a long wait, so I went there around 5:50 (10 minutes before business started) and lined up, and I think I got it in about 30 minutes. As soon as business starts, there is a long line.There are a lot of benches in front of the building right next door, so if the weather is nice, you can eat right on the bench.“

“This is quite a unique halal food cart. They use different types of spices and ingredients to add their own twist to the halal food cart scene. I ordered the chicken platter with white sauce and hot sauce. The meat was very flavorful and delicious! The spicy rice is also very good, especially when added with the sauces. They pack a lot of food into the container. More than enough for what seems like an entire day worth of food or almost enough to split between two people. The service was great, the staff very friendly and responsive. The price was great for how much food you get.“
