Halal Restaurants near East Elmhurst, NY

“The food here competes with the very best spots. The meals demonstrate evident superiority. The staff showed consistent table awareness. The design choices here are refreshingly unique. Really happy with my meal. I can't wait to return for other menu items.“

“The food is the best chicken & lamb over rice I have ever tasted. The greens are fresh. Everything is so good. I never get red sauce, but their red sauce has like this fresh homemade taste. It’s just so good just spicy enough. I get their red sauce and that says a lot.“

“I am SO grateful that this place remains open through many years. They call it chicken Tikka but what it is is a hefty kebab freshly grilled ground chicken with spices, served with naan bread, and spicy yogurt sauce, for five bucks. It's substantial, but more than that, indescribably delicious. They don't seem quite hindu or quite Muslim, I can't quite place it, but these hardworking Americans serve LaGuardia's taxi and limo drivers and anyone lucky enough to wander in.“

“Great service. Foods amazing. Love halal guys go there now.“

“Tried DHC and honestly it did not disappoint! The chicken is tender, juicy and flavourful. The meal options are not too expensive either! It was so good we came again the next day. Also it is halal certified!

It's also worth trying their slushe drinks! So much better than the 7/11 stores.

Only negative is that there is not enough seating and it can get super busy. It is a 10/10 and would recommend.“

“We stopped by this place without much research and the Stir Fried Lagman blew us away. We also got the Plow Rice and the Rice Noodles which were both yummy but the Stir Fried Lagman was TOO good! I definitely recommend checking them out when possible and I highly recommend trying the stir fried Lagman dish, you will not be disappointed!“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“My wife had been craving Tajen ever since we had it on Morocco. The food was as if we were sitting in Morocco. We ordered two soups Harir and lentil soup. I personally like Harir but lentil soup was ok. Then we ordered Lamb and fish Tajen one with rice and other with bread. Lamb Tajen was out of this world. Fish Tajen was good too. But if you don't have a big appetite, I would highly recommend skipping everything else and just have the lamb Tajen. Atmosphere was cozy and service took a bit of time because they make it fresh so be patient. Overall great experience of having Morocco food without spending thousands of dollars.“

“TL;DR: Food good. Service good. Portion to price ratio not that good. Get the biryani!
The food was well spiced. Portions were not really shareable. The chicken dishes were especially small amounts. The chicken 65($12)and chicken tikka($18) came with 4 small pieces and 5 small pieces respectively. The laccha paratha was also not even actual laccha paratha. With the bad out the way, let’s hear the good.
The service was very good, they take care of you and your needs. The biryani was tasty and the vindaloo had some nice heat to it. All the food was tasty, I didn’t have a bad dish. I would come here again.“

“Delicious food.Best service.Thank you.“

“They cater to your request. The menu is deep with options and the chicken is always fresh. Now as far as the gyro is concerned the combo over rice is on spot. Even if you want it over salad its good. I recommend it if you're up on Jerome Ave by Gunhill road....“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

“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!“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“When I got my food, some people lined up that were regulars. The server knew all their favorites and even came out to hug one of the customers. He was so nice! The food came out quickly, but I wouldn’t have cared if it took a while. I accidentally blocked the way for a stroller to get through because I was chatting with him since he was so nice. 10/10 :)“

“I went to order some food because I saw they closed at 1:30Am I arrived and they said they only taking orders on line because it’s already 12:45am I made the order not realizing they had a another location in queens the guy said it was fine and just made the order for me, and he made it so well and such a good amount. I called the store to thank him when I got home and saw my order but no answer. This is what you call customer service 👏🏾“

“I spoke with the owner after an issue he was very professional, and this is my follow up.

He suggested the chicken tenders and it was very fresh, I also saw a couple order the fish and it was fried to order —it looked so good. Honestly I’m very grateful the owner was able to make it right. Will be coming back again!

The sauces are also really good, and they have my favorite bbq sauce on hand, try their special sauce!“

“Having a meal ordered from Shah's in Inwood is like having Thanksgiving dinner with every order because the food is outstanding, consistent, fresh, and the service is excellent!! My son and I have been ordering from Shah's 2 - 3 times a week for the past 8 months because the restaurant never fails. My son orders the meat combo and I order either the falafel or fish platter. Both of us order everything: white, hot, and barbecue sauce; chick peas and black beans. In addition to the cukes and tomatoes, customers can also add olives and pickled red cabbage on their meal!! Tiebah and Thaliah are always welcoming, and always remember our names and our orders. We are never disappointed!!!“

“Food was Fresh and Perfectly Seasoned! Lady was Friendly. Will def go back! Only downfall, needs a proper sign so you can find the right cart, but right across from planet fitness by myrtle wycoff train station. Other than that, Love it 😊“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“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 :)“

“If you’re looking for one of the best gyro spots in downtown Bowling Green, Continental Gyro is a must-visit. The food is always fresh, the gyros are packed with flavor, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommended!“

“The Best Thai-Food anywhere...#Period“

“It's going to sound like I know this guy but I don't. I go to Halal guys, but the smell from this truck just got the best of me. All 3 sauces, the rice, the veggies... STELLAR! The line wasn't unreasonable, there were about 5 people ahead and I still got my food within 15 mins. Honestly, this is one of those plates of food you take a cab for.

You guys made a forever customer out of me!“

“I absolutely love this place! Everything is so nice, the prices are really good, and the food is always fresh and consistent. My favorite dish is definitely the meat burek—it’s always fresh and delicious. Their desserts are also great, especially the tres leches!

The staff is super, super nice. They’re always friendly, smiling, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. They also stay open pretty late, which is a huge plus.

Overall, they really deliver on what they promise every time. Great food, great prices, great service, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite Bosnian spots in the city.“

“Great food! This was my first time trying it, and I absolutely loved every bite. The flavors were fresh, everything was cooked perfectly, and you can tell they put real care into what they serve. On top of that, the customer service was amazing—everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others.“

“I went with my bro to try this chicken spot and it was top. I ordered the big back burger and it crushed !! The combination of all the toppings plus the special big back sauce was so good. My bro ordered the Alito fries , I tried some of the chicken - soft and tasty. We shared waffles and chicken as well. The waffles were great. The plus thing - all of it was halal! I definitely would recommend anyone to eat here and I will be visiting again soon!“

“Turkish coffee and baklava in this restaurant was unforgettable. The presentation was great. Friendly servers as well.“

“If you’re looking for delicious halal food in NYC, this place is a must-visit.

Just a 7-minute walk from Times Square, it’s the perfect spot to grab some incredibly flavorful kebabs. Right across from the food cart, there’s a proper seating area where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and soak in the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Highly recommended!“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“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 !“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“I work in the area and always go for lunch. Very delicious food and great customer service . They have the best shawarma and my favorite mango matcha
The best thing is they don’t use any jam or syrup I can literally chew the mango chunks and taste the matcha flavor too. Absolutely delicious“

“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.“

“This has become my go to halal spot in Harlem (Across from Harlem Hospital). The variety and food is good, but the customer service is top tier! Also, you can definitely get some foods customized and not feel like it’s an issue! Harlem’s biggest chicken wraps!“

“I have tried lamb over rice. My expectation was more over the taste of lamb. I think they should try more to make it a tasty one. French fries were ok. Salad was nothing special. Overall they should try more to make it something better than their competitors.“

“I’ve been coming here for a long time, and this used to be one of our favorite halal carts. We would regularly drive in from Long Island with groups of friends and family, especially for the falafel, which was always outstanding.

Unfortunately, since Hamza left, I’ve noticed a significant decline in both the service and the overall quality of the food. The owner has always been friendly and seems like a genuinely good person, so I’m not sure exactly what’s changed behind the scenes, but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Today we came as a family, and there were three new employees working. It was pretty clear they weren’t happy to be there, and the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. We did have a larger order, but in the past that was never an issue—we were always greeted warmly and appreciated as customers.

I’m leaving this review because I genuinely want to see this place succeed. The food and service used to be exceptional, and I hope they can get back to the standard that made so many of us loyal customers.“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“If you’re in Queens and you haven’t been to Broski Grill yet, you’re sleeping. This is the city that set the standard for halal street food — and Broski Grill is holding that flag with both hands.
I got the combo over rice with fries — crinkle cut — loaded with chipotle sauce, white sauce, hot sauce, and green sauce. Look at that box. That’s not a meal, that’s a flex.
The rice is a proper base, the meat is seasoned right, and the crinkle cuts hold up under all that sauce without going limp — which tells you the fries are fresh and the timing is on point. The sauce game is elite. White sauce is herby and creamy, the hot sauce brings real heat, the green sauce adds that fresh brightness, and the chipotle ties the whole thing together. Every bite hits different depending on what combination lands on the fork.
But what separates Broski Grill from every other spot on the block is the people. The owners genuinely care. They hook it up every time — not because you asked, but because that’s just how they’re built. That kind of love is rare anywhere, but especially in a city that moves as fast as New York. You feel it when you step up to the window and you feel it when you crack open that clamshell.
This is Queens halal done right — generous, seasoned with intention, and backed by real hospitality.
FEELS LIKE CLEAN HALAL - you go crazy with the sauce up to you. It ain’t no greasy cart food!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Halal Haven is a must-try! The food is full of flavor – fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend the Fully Loaded platter and Flavored wings. . The service was excellent too – friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Great portions, fair prices, and a clean, comfortable atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I order from here regularly. Their biryani is probably one of the best in Brooklyn arguably.“

“We had a wonderful experience at this Uyghur restaurant! We tried the samsa, lagman, and lamb kebab, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous. Highly recommend this restaurant. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“If you get chance don’t miss it..“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“This was some of the best Halal food I’ve ever had, their name speaks for itself. The service was kind and quick. I got a combo plate over rice with all the sauces. It was so good I wish I got it again before leaving NY. I would definitely recommend them any day!“

“Had such a great experience,
The waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made us feel so welcomed. The food was outstanding everything tasted fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about both the service and the food. Definitely a great spot will come back.“
