Kebab near Astoria, NY

“Absolutely amazing experience at Sami’s Kebab House! Everything we had was incredibly fresh and tasted amazing, but the lamb shank was seriously out of this world. Easily one of the best I’ve had.

The manager was also super friendly and welcoming. He’s great friends with my uncle and went above and beyond for us, even offering us some extra things to try. The hospitality here is truly unmatched and made the whole experience even better.

Great food, fresh ingredients, and even better hospitality. Will definitely be coming back again!“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“I have visited Aden multiple times and have always enjoyed my experiences. Delicious Yemeni food, likely the best in Queens, whether sit down, take-out, or from their street grill, coupled with the friendly service will keep me and my family coming back. Take the poor reviews of this business and set them aside as merely bad judgment on the reviewer's. This is not a fast food restaurant! Expect to wait a little, but you will be satisfied.Their Steinway Halal cart outside offers half chicken and kabobs over rice. Delicious!“

“Juicy, delicious shashlik and lula kebab — the liver was especially surprising, so tender and succulent. Good service. The space is a bit dark; I would add more lighting to the interior. I would also add complimentary tap water, as is common in all restaurants. But none of that matters once you start eating — these guys definitely know how to cook meat.“

“Between the confusing menu and the long time that I waited for my roll, I was ready to write this place off, but the food is delicious. I had the ghost chicken roll and it's more flavorful than spicy. They could add more sides to the menu - something with a vegetable in it, so that I can make it a full meal. Otherwise, it's a bit pricey for a product that seems like it's in the snack category.

Really good though, I'd come back.“

“Surprised to find decent Xinjiang food in Manhattan.

Ding ding fried noodles were quite authentic, just a bit salty. Lamb pilaf wasn’t greasy, which I liked. Lamb skewers were tender and not gamey.

Service was okay but a bit inexperienced — had to remind for water.

Overall, good food, service could be better.“

“The food is like nothing I’ve ever had before. The best restaurant in Flushing. I had a wonderful time with my friends. :)“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“Best chicken Döner kebab in NY/USA“

“One of the best restaurant experiences I've had! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted amazing.
What really stood out was the customer service. The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment we arrived until we left. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers.
Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful food and outstanding service. Everything was excellent — the food, the atmosphere, and especially the people. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great experience!“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“Best food! My husband and I tried this place once, and from that day on, it became one of our favorite spots. We keep coming back because the food is always fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The staff are also very kind and welcoming.
If it's your first visit, I highly recommend trying the combo over salad with white sauce and a little red sauce. In shaa Allah, you'll love it!“

“Lunch specials were amazing. I got a chicken kabob platter and it was so good. We found this place by accident and took a chance and I'm so glad that we did. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in the neighborhood. 100% recommend!“

“Uyghur Lagman House Is 🔥

“From the drinks to the food prepare to indulge in heavenly bliss. We’ve been coming here for three years and each time it only gets better. This time big thanks to Alexis for the lovely hospitality.“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“Located in front of Paris Baguette, the BBQ truck has some of the best skewers I've ever tried. They transport you to the heart of Xinjiang with its local flavors, grilled in front of you. My two favorites were the lamb and beef skewers, and the chicken skewers were also very delicious.“

“Good ?“

“I came here yesterday and today I brought my kids. The most delicious strawberry lemonade I’ve ever had made by hand. The kids also enjoyed the curly fries and onion rings. Beautiful place with amazing food! The food is great because it’s made with love. You can feel it, very welcoming.
Really recommend. Great and amazing energy! Thank you so much for creating a family feeling ❤“

“I’ve ordered from this restaurant multiple times, and I’ve always had a great experience. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The quality has been excellent every time, and the portions are also very satisfying. You can really tell they care about the food they serve and their customers. It has become one of my favorite places to order from, and I’ll definitely continue coming back. Highly recommended!“

“The grilled chicken kabobs and spiced rice at this spot were honestly the highlight of my night after the Nets game. I am definitely the best thing any cute guy will order all week, so consider this your sign to finally reach out and start a conversation.“

“Great food!! Extremely friendly, and accommodating staff! When we come back to the area we will definitely be going back here! Highly recommend!“

“Possibly the greatest doner sandwich I’ve ever had. The harmony between the oil and vegetables, along with the homemade bread was absolutely outstanding.
Divine. If you’re reading his you have to try this place, highly highly recommend.“

“The food was amazing and the staff was sooooooo beyond kind. One of the members of our party ended up getting ill. The staff brought bread, special drink, brought ice for her head and really cared. They were so compassionate. The ood was top tier, service amazing and people 10/10. Thank you Brooklyn kabob staff!!!!“

“Been a while since I ate the food there cuz usually I’d always get their chicken rolls back when I was attending Mamun’s Tutorial. Tried their food today with my family and it was pretty good! I got chicken & veggie rolls while the rest of my family got kala bhuna & garlic naan. The front staff there are really nice! I would recommend this place if you want to try good chicken/veggie rolls or garlic naan! :)“

“Love this place! I visited the city in June and tried Kotti for the first time. It was so delicious that I made my family come to Brooklyn with me to try it during our current trip in NYC. While looking at the menu, we were very kindly offered free samples, and after telling the worker that I am moving into the city, he gave me a free baklava as a “welcome gift.” The food and service were exceptional, and I’m looking forward to coming next time I am in Brooklyn!“

“We ordered saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious, particularly the lamb korma, which was fantastic. All of the meat was cooked perfectly, and I had never had paneer be toasted before, which was nice. Also, I ordered togo in-person, and they invited us to sit at a dining table while we waited - very kind. Will definitely return.“

“Flushing has plenty of chinese food for sure, but I came to Flushing specifically to find uyghur food as you can't really find this type of cuisine in the US. And the food simply blew me away. I dont know how they make the lamb polo but that is probably one of the best rice dishes ive ever had. The lamb was so tender and rice was so flavourful. And the 烤包 (kao bao) was amazing too as it was filled w juicy sweet onions and beef. Absolutely great meal and Im glad I came here.“

“From the drinks to the food prepare to indulge in heavenly bliss. We’ve been coming here for three years and each time it only gets better. This time big thanks to Alexis for the lovely hospitality.“

“Best chicken Döner kebab in NY/USA“

“We’re in the neighborhood every few years and come here semi-regularly. Just ordered the vegetarian plate and was really delighted by the different vegetables. Cooked thoughtfully, great flavor. The kebab are also quite good.“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was!

I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“WOW. We came in here not knowing what to expect and tried only 2 dishes… The Fattoush salad and the Lamb Ouzi Royale platter.
Boy, oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised!!! A little too much on the fried pita chips on the salad but I loved their dressing…a sweet and tangy flavor. Now the Lamb with rice was a hit. You have to try this lamb, it has great flavor…it’s absolutely delicious. The lamb was super tender it fell off the bone 🍖 We will be back!!!!!“

“Soooo good, rice is flavorful and the chicken kebab is somehow juicy and tender when a lot of restaurants mess up and make the chicken kebabs really dry. The flavor is on point too! The sandwiches are really good too and love the seasoning on the fries. Kofta is also really good. I've been here many times and tried different things and have never been disappointed.“

“Really good, the spices and seasoning are strong enough and it’s like $2 a skewer with so many options. I always get the lamb, the potatoes (which taste like seasoned chips), and other meats. The fish balls are soft on the inside, with a roasted crust on the outside - actually good too! It’s also spicy too, but not too spicy (probably like pickled jalapeño level?)“

“To be honest, I wasn’t particularly impressed by the smoky aroma of the BBQ on charcoal. While it was certainly intimidating, the taste was dry. I could have done better, but it’s a different style of cooking compared to traditional chicken over rice on a grill. So, it’s a unique experience, but that’s about it. The place isn’t very tidy, and I think the owner should consider improving the ambiance.“

“Delicious food!! Also, they mailed me my license that I had no idea where I’d lost. You guys ROCK!!! Thank you!“

“I absolutely love the food. Had a mixed lamb/chicken Shawarma & would come back again 🙌🏼 Ten thumbs up!!“

“I was craving for skewers and wanted to dine in instead of getting it from the street carts. Was seated immediately by the friendly staff. They offer traditional skewers and stir fry items. It was not fully packed which was great, because I was hungry. They cook all the items for you and bring it straight ti your table. Flavor of the food was really great, super affordable and really authentic. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a late night snack. Definitely will be back!“

“Came with my boyfriend whos been here multiple times and said it was delicious, and he wasn’t wrong. We got chicken, squid, chinese sausage, ricecake, shrimp, and beef skewers that were ALL amazing. HIGHLY recommend the spicy powder on any skewer you order. I have low tolerance for spice, but it was just a small kick for a couple seconds. I will be coming here way more often, I found my favorite food spot for late night snacks.“

“I had eaten halal Bukhari Uzbek food many times before, but if you are hosting strict kosher keepers in Queens who were bored of the typical pizza or grill joints, this was a must try for out of town guests.
I introduced my friends to many different Samsa (average), Plov (excellent, but only one recipe), Manti (average, real Georgian places are better), and IL salad (excellent, better than some Mediterranean places), everything was fresh and nothing disappointed.
I just wish they had changed the name 6 years ago after they started closing every Saturday, as C.S.S. is quite the mouthful to remember while gossiping about good places to try. they have about a dozen seats inside and another dozen on a sidewalk shed with quiet low foot traffic. for VHQ adherents, this is a must try, then try again and again until you've sampled the entire menu.“

“We were celebrating a family birthday with a party of 11. From my first call to discuss the event, Wally was solicitous and helpful. He accommodated all our needs and preferences, creating a lovely table for us and serving us himself. The food was delicious and plentiful as well as reasonably priced. Wally even packed up our leftovers and kept them until we could pick them up later in the day! The location on 9th avenue between 52 and 53 was great for getting to our Broadway matinee easily. We can't recommend Ariana's highly enough.“

“Awsome, delicious food… love it 🤗😊“
