Kebab near Astoria, NY

“Overall we had a great meal. The lamb was a bit too strong in flavor and aroma for my taste but I enjoyed everything else. The Afghan naan was so interesting ) crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside). The grilled meat was flavorful, the dumplings and the sauce were good, and the eggplant ended up being my favorite dish. The portions were generous, especially the rice, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. We also got the house made pistachio pudding for dessert, and it was good without being too sweet.“

“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.“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“Went there on a Sunday night. The food was still top quality. The meat was juicy. And it was fairly priced. We ordered like 11 skewers and 4 plovs for 4 people. I’m not over exaggerating when I say this gave me a euphoric experience as I was hungry the whole day.“

“the food it's delicious 😋“

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

“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.“

“Been coming here since highschool. Still better than most halal spots ive been to both in taste and price. And the best thung of all is the owner himself. always with a smile on his face, always polite when serving. So loved by the community that while you wait for your food at least 2 people will greet him and he'll greet back.“

“My favorite spot in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Made with love. Absolutely delicious food, and everything tastes as if it’s homemade. I truly appreciate the staff too — everyone is always very welcoming. Thank you for all that you do, Dar 525!“

“The food was so good and flavorful. The people here are so nice and welcoming as well. Amazing service and hospitality. They brought our food out less than 10 minutes after taking our order too. They even gave us a free juice on our way out :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing service and amazing food. One of the best Afghan restaurants in NYC to be honest. The salmon kebab and Adana kebabs are really good. It’s a cozy restaurant and they do take out and larger orders too for pick up. It’s better if you pay cash versus on card for taxes.“

“One of the best halal spots in Queens! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and the portions are generous. The doner kebab is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the ingredients taste fresh every time. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast, and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Best halal food cart around! Anytime I’m on Steinway, I make sure to get their chicken sandwich. Their green sauce is top tier you can’t go without it. Service is quick and employees are great. I am never disappointed. If you’re ever in the area, it’s a must try you won’t regret it!“

“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.“

“Good ?“

“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.“

“Despite not so great reviews on reddit, we decided to try it out. Both our food and service turned out to be great. Momos, Paneer, Gobi apps were fantastic - Medium was as good as standard desi standard medium. Well spiced, and hot. The service was excellent as well.“

“I went to Brooklyn Kababa, a Yemeni restaurant, and I absolutely love their food. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The portions were generous, the meat was tender, and the spices were on point. The atmosphere felt welcoming and comforting, like real home-style Yemeni cooking. This is definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something hearty and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“ordered the sandwich and it was so delicious. It was a bit too crispy for me but such a filling meal, so I didn’t mind the price as much since I really liked it and the meat was seasoned well. I would definitely get it again once my teeth gets better so I can fully enjoy that sandwich.“

“The best place to eat the best shish Kabab mediterranean Israely style gellat kosher food you will definitely enjoy with your family!!!“

“Visited with a group of 8 and overall had a great experience. The food was excellent, and our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and took the time to explain the menu and answer our questions, which we really appreciated.

The only downside was the drinks. We understand that larger groups can take more time, so we were patient. However, we eventually overheard the person preparing the drinks loudly complaining that he hated making our order because it was “too hard.” Since we speak the same language, we understood everything being said, which was disappointing to hear as customers. Unfortunately, when the drinks finally arrived, they were not very good either.

I would absolutely come back for the food and the wonderful service from our waitress, but if you’re visiting with a larger group, I’d recommend keeping expectations modest when ordering specialty drinks. Hopefully this is something management can address, because the food itself deserves the praise.“

“We love eating at Kotha Restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the flavors are amazing. My kids also love it — it’s one of their favorite places to eat! The staff is friendly, and the service is great every time. Highly recommend Kotha for anyone looking for tasty and family-friendly food!“

“We stumbled upon this place today with few expectations and left absolutely delighted. Wonderful service and excellent food - DEFINITELY coming back. We recommend the Muhammarah and the fattat jaj.

With the nice weather, we were hoping to sit on the roof, but it was closed. Is there a timeframe around when that’ll open back up?“

“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?)“

“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.“

“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 have ordered form here several times and everytime it’s been AMAZING. My go to is their chicken shawarma combo that comes with fries and coleslaw. Very filling and tastes so so good, always fresh and hot. I didn’t even know it was a women owned business!!! I haven’t visited the restaurant in person yet but will soon! Keep it up, you got a customer for life 🤍“

“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!!“

“The food choices are amazing. I appreciated having the help of an ambassador who just happened to be at the location. This is my second time visiting Wonder, and I plan to return. I strongly recommend that you come and try these delicious menus!“
