“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“This place is such a gem! Used to live super close but now it’s a little bit of a trek but absolutely worth it. I have tried most of the menu and everything is always great and fresh. During this visit I opted for the combination pita sandwich (shawarma and falafel). I also highly recommend the spinach pie, lentil soup and Jerusalem falafel sandwich (a vegetarian option stuffed with all kinds of delicious goodies). Owner is warm and friendly, always makes us feel so welcome. Prices are great! Only drawback is there isn’t too much seating but when the weather is nice there are a few tables outside (pict so you can see). Highly, highly recommend!“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

“Delicious food, fun decor and ambience, not too loud so you can hear people at your table but not too quiet where it feels you can hear others' conversations. Our waitress was excellent. There was a mix up with one of the orders and she sorted it out right away! The space is cozy but feels open with lots of windows. I shall return to try their chicken not waffles!“

They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, which only enhanced our dining experience. It's clear that the staff at Ave genuinely cares about their customers, ensuring that every aspect of the meal is enjoyable.

The ease of parking in the area was an added bonus, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time together rather than worrying about where to leave our car.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend Ave highly enough. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit.

If you’re looking for a perfect spot to enjoy a meal with family and friends, look no further than Ave in Astoria. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great place for fresh fish, cooked to order. I loved the experience of choosing our own fish by weight and them cooking it to perfection. Our choice included branzino, Algerian sardines, scallops, calamari and muscles. If you’re in the neighborhood, definitely check it out!“

“Great restaurant! Great food! Great staff! We love it. We ate there 3 times in 24 hours.“

“First time here. We sat outside on a beautiful day for a late lunch. Service was prompt which was nice and he was attentive. We got a carafe of house white wine which wasn't bad and 3 apps. The beans were great. The fried cheese was salty but good. We wanted the zucchini chips but was offered the fritters. They were not great but we didn't bother switching them out. I think we would go back to try other dishes but only on occasion as the bill was $145 with a good tip.“

“I live close by so I’ve been here a lot. It’s extremely consistent and very very good. Prices have gone up several times over the years but it remains a good deal for the quality and portion. And because I live close, I see how thoroughly they clean each night. Great lunch specials.“

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

“Perfect food !!! Excellent service 👍🏼“

“Ordered the merguez tangine. It came sizzling hot in what seemed like a traditional clay bowl. The tomatoes in the tangine were so savory and paired really well with the merguez and egg. Also want to give a shoutout to Marouan, who was my server, for his service. Would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to eat delicious authentic food on Steinway St with friendly service/hospitality.“

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“5 Stars!! LOVED!!! Delicious food - great atmosphere“

“We went there for lunch on a whim on a weekday. The place is tiny and clean and doesn't look fancy. The food was Balkan style - either Serbian or Croatian - and it was very good. There was only one person working there and she took care of us well.“
