Halal Restaurants near Bethpage, NY

“Excellent chicken and rice spot in Bethpage.
I've been to a large number of spots for chicken and rice, from the halal guys on 53rd and 6th, to the numerous spots along Steinway street in astoria, shahs, And other halal spots along the island and around hillside avenue and it's great to have an excellent local place close by to satisfy by desire for mix over rice.

Every spot has its own take on the chicken and halal eatz does a great job with whatever the seasoning is. White sauce is on point and hot sauce is HOT as expected. They have a number of other items I've never tried but am looking forward to tasting.

I saw they have byob (Bag of chips - not beer obviously) which is something that's become popular on social media, and I think it's a great idea for a solid price.

Overall great food that never disappoints that honeslty I'd say is the best bang for the buck in the area and a refreshing alternative to have around to eat. I'd post a picture but the ones that are already shared do it justice enough. If you opt for a platter, while I normally do pita, their fries are great.

Hope they stay around a long time. Thanks!“

The standard halal truck options are available. This joint is cash only.“

For once I’d like to say something GOOD
Here it is & better then good ITS GREAT!!“

“EDIT 4/3/2025:
One of my favorite places in Huntington, and I have lived here my entire life. BUT it is now close to unaffordable. It used to be ~$10 for a wrap AND fries AND soda. Even $15 for all that would be more than reasonable. But their prices have recently jumped through the roof - $15 for just a wrap!? $10 for a large fry!? Ridiculous. Work on getting more customers, not icing out the customers that have been loyal to you for many, many years.

5 stars for fries and sauces, 4 stars for everything else. Wraps are good, wouldn't say great. Same with burgers. Fried chicken too processed, grilled is good!“

“Ordered through a delivery service but the food is always in point & amazing . I order atleast 1-2 times a month & had to put a few people on . The quality & service are always AMAZING , this is the only take out style halal food I’ll eat ! Thank you guys for true quality food!“

“* "Friendly staff. Has in stock most of what I am looking for. Definitely worth checking out."

“Bakhtar Afghani Restaurant – A Hidden Gem of Authentic Afghan Cuisine Halal restaurant

I had the pleasure of dining at Bakhtar Afghani Restaurant recently, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and the inviting aroma of grilled meats and spices made it clear we were in for something special.

The hospitality was top-notch. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles, and our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to recommend popular dishes. We felt truly welcomed, as if we were guests in someone’s home.

We started with the Bolani, a traditional Afghan stuffed flatbread, which was perfectly crispy and flavorful. Then came the mantu – Afghan dumplings filled with seasoned ground beef and topped with yogurt and split peas – absolutely delicious and delicate in flavor.

The highlight, however, was the mixed grill platter. Each skewer was grilled to perfection – the chicken kebabs were juicy and well-marinated, the lamb chops were tender and bursting with flavor, and the kofta kebabs had just the right blend of spices. Every bite showcased the richness of Afghan culinary tradition.

The rice dishes deserve their own praise – the kabuli pulao in particular was phenomenal. Fluffy basmati rice layered with sweet carrots and raisins, paired with tender chunks of lamb – a true comfort dish that felt like it was made with love.

For dessert, we had the firni, a creamy Afghan rice pudding, subtly flavored with cardamom and garnished with pistachios. It was the perfect way to end our meal.

The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food was outstanding. Whether you’re familiar with Afghan cuisine or trying it for the first time, Bakhtar is a must-visit. It’s a place that combines authenticity, flavor, and heartfelt service in a way that’s hard to find.

Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be returning with friends and family!“

“Authentic food made on halal meat. Very genuine cuisine, cooked in front of you.“

“I visited Dave’s Hot Chicken for the first time in carle place I thought the chicken and fries were very good. The staff are all very helpful especially Michael ! He was so kind I told him it was my first time there he suggested different sauces for me and he let me get them. I will be returning soon !“

“Hempstead location is the best halal on Long Island!“

“Absolutely delicious!! First time here -the owner has an excellent personality and let me try a falafel and I instantly ordered my sandwich! I will definitely be back- I highly recommend you try this place!!“

“Good food, Good staff will go back again soon“

“Plenty of parking at the outdoor mall strip. Clean vibe - courteous staff. They take card or cash. They also have lunch specials available where you can get a platter with a can of soda. We got the chicken rice platter 8/10 and the combo rice platter 9/10. Their lamb is really good and I recommend it. Their white sauce is not the best I have had but decent. Their vegetables were fresh. Overall I would go back and recommend.“

“Excellent, quality and decent prices for a Hakka restaurant. Recommend to use petalmail.com“

“Angela the owner is a wonderful lady and the food was great. Very decent sized gyros for the price. Typically the lamb meat is cooked with onions mixed in but when I informed Angela that all three of my kids don’t like onions, she very happily and without hesitation grilled up fresh lamb by itself. I highly recommend this place not only for the great food but a chance to meet with Angela and her very friendly and bubbly personality!“

“Good food, Good staff will go back again soon“

“Come here all the time AMAZING food!! The guys here are great they prepare you a wonderful plate and have naan bread too. If I ever move out of the state I will miss this place. I have no idea what the guys are saying and they don’t know what I am saying but they always make me feel welcome. FANTASTIC PLACE“

“This place is awesome! They have a very extensive menu, and I’ve never disliked any of their stuff. Their platters, burritos, gyros, tacos are all very solid

Customer service is also very good for a fast food place.

The store is clean as well“

“Shah Halal is an amazing halal option. Especially the Farmingdale branch. They always provide extremely satisfying hot and fresh food. Thanks to my boy Shuaib. After a long tiring day of shopping, we were really hungry and we did not think twice. We headed over to Shah Halal.
We have tried their food before and they never disappoint. Shuaib goes all out and about to provide exceptional service. Very clean place, food is tasty and they give you a generous amount. 100% recommnded. 👍💯“
