Amazing !
I’ve been eating this food for decades now. The brick and mortar location has delicious variety in appetizers and platters in addition to the classics. The food never fell off and is always fresh and the owners are sweet people. I happily support their business especially when they are outspoken and bold about their beliefs and have the best falafel I have ever eaten.
By far my favorite place to eat on my trip to NYC! Great food, great decor, and a pleasure to eat at such a legendary spot with amazing Palestinian food! As a cook myself I can tell alot of care was put into seasoning the food as it’s the best Halal food I’ve had so far. 10/10 would go again.
(Parking is no big deal if you do it for free in Astoria Park. I didn’t mind walking about 30 minutes.)

Customers often enjoy the Freddy's Jr. platter, and the free falafel offered while waiting adds a friendly touch. The falafel is consistently excellent, shaped like kibbeh rather than the traditional round, and fried fresh as soon as customers walk in. The meat shawarma is also praised for its delicious taste. The restaurant offers generous portions at good prices, making it a reliable place for authentic Middle Eastern flavors. Customers highlight the spectacularly crunchy, oblong falafel and the immaculate vibe of the restaurant. The friendly service and tasty food make it a favorite spot for those craving real dishes. Many customers appreciate the welcoming attitude of the owner and staff, who deserve all the praise for their hard work. The hot sauce is deliciously spicy, and the chicken is always grilled to perfection. The rice pudding is a perfect end to the meal, and the salad and hummus combo is a favorite. Those with dietary restrictions also find it a wonderful place, as it offers reliably gluten-free options. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot that many are grateful for, with a journey that has evolved over the years.
