Halal Restaurants near East Meadow, NY

“I have being eating halal food for the last 10 years. I am very lucky to found the best and cleannest halal store in New York. The gentlemen that served us was a real gentlemen and he's food was excellent ?. We were also lucky to meet other employees running that restaurant in a really great manner and I also recommend this place to everyone interest it on eating real good food. All 3 of us enjoyed everything thanks.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I brought my fiancée to this restaurant, she has a severe allergy to seafood and tree nuts. So I’m usually wary for her dietary restrictions.

If sesame seeds are a red flag then no worries the buns for the sandwiches are SEEDLESS!!!

The restaurant staff is VERY accommodating. I ordered the 3x3 (burger) and The Zinger (chicken sandwich) for myself and fiancée. The fries were a tad well done but still were tasty, we ate them up!!!!! I literally ordered The Zinger a 2nd time it was that tender and well seasoned!!! I decided against the hell sauce but next time I’ll give it a shot.

Speaking of tender, we also ordered the buffalo chicken tenders and WOW this is a MUST ORDER!!!

The atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming. We plan on coming again very soon!!!!!!!!!“

“Best kebabs around! Sultani kebab and rice is the best combo and great portions. Never had better rice in my life, seriously.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food here is absolutely delicious! The kebabs are perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything is 100% halal, which makes it even better. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick. Definitely one of the best halal kebab spots around—I’ll be coming back again and again!“

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

“Al Kababi is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Pakistani food. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with these amazing aromas that just get you excited for what’s coming. The fact that it’s Zabiha makes it even better, knowing everything is halal and carefully sourced. The food? Incredible. We started with the beef Bihari, and they were so juicy and packed with flavor—just the right amount of spice and served with this fresh mint chutney that tied everything together. The biryani, which was perfection. The rice was fragrant, and the meat was super tender, with all those spices working in harmony. The real star, though, was their Amazing Nihari. It tasted homemade, like something you’d get at a family gathering. The spices were bold but balanced, and the meat was cooked to perfection. You could tell they put real love into this dish.
And let’s not forget the naan—soft, warm, and just the right texture to scoop up all the delicious flavors. The staff was so friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. If you’re craving real Pakistani food, Al Kababi should be at the top of your list. As it is my first time being here, I was blown away by all these delicious flavors. This definitely won’t be my last time. Highly recommend! 5 STARS!“

“The Smashburger was outstanding!! It comes with mozzarella sticks, cheese, pickles and delicious sauce. French fries are phenomenal and the new young management is nothing but a gentlemen. He knows exactly what he is doing and can cook! Definitely will be making another trip to this spot!“

“this is one of my favorite places to go and get halal food. Their chicken over rice is my go to meal And you have to get their hot sauce. It’s made in-house and is so good!!!! Not only is the food amazing but it’s so quick when you order it to pick it up! Their fried chicken is also 10 out of 10!“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Literally the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had. They have a ton of different sauces and they’re all SO good! The fries are a must no matter what your ordering and the wraps are great too. Not a single complaint about this place. It’s always the same guy at the register and he knows my entire family lol“

“Great place with great food. Check it out if you are ever in the area, You will not regret it. Staff is great and service.“

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

“This place is making so much money off me. Its the freshest, cheapest, fast food place thats open late with no wait time lol. Love the chicken over rice. Always on point. Just wish they didn’t run out of the oinion and pepper mix all the time. It completes the flavor but then again I come here so late at 11pm so can’t complain lol“

“This truck has been operated by Sammy in this same spot since 2010. The chicken over rice will cost you $8. The portion size was just right for me. The quality of the chicken and the rice was above average. The white sauce and the hot sauce were both pretty good too. I will go back for a combo plate next time to taste their lamb. The standard halal truck options are available. This joint is cash only.“

“I came with my boys best desi food out there“

“It is not the same location I have posted. Only reason for picking this location is cause I can’t find the one I got the food from. The chicken/lamb gyro from Far Rockaway/Seagirt by Q22 bus stop I believe. Was inside the car so didn’t pay attention. Hubby picked up the boxes. I gotta say these are some of the best ones I have had.“

“halal food“

“Owner and staff treats you with lots of hospitality, i’ve dined in multiple times and the food comes out quick, tastes amazing!! I’ve also catered from here and the owner is very generous and works with you, food has never disappointed, amazing service!!“

“Muskan and Malik give me the best hospitality everytime I stop by for a bite. They remake the atmosphere of a fast food restaurant into a more pleasurable experience. This led me to take notice how good the Texas menu is and how much I put them above other fast food restaurants.“

“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!“

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

“Ordered through UberEats which was quick. The food was packaged nicely and arrived hot and fresh.
I had the Oreo Waffles with saucy tenders. While they overdid it with the Oreos which made the waffle very sweet, the waffle itself was tasty. The tenders were great, they put adequate amount of sauce and the chicken was tender.
Co-worker had wings and fries which he gave rave review for.

Overall, a great addition to our rotation of take out restaurants. I would recommend this spot.“

“We spend between $40 to $100 each month. It is our favorite halal food place around the Franklin Square New Hyde Park area. We also tried the cart style ones around Little Neck and Hillside Ave and this place blows them out of the water in price, quantity and quality. Each platter can be split for two servings if you wanted to.

We usually buy the lamb and chicken rice platters which we love. But we have tried the chicken burger, beef burger, and the Philly cheesesteak also.

The chicken sandwich was presented to us beautifully but is dry and horrendous, they need to do better. I can make a better beef burger at home. And the philly cheesesteak is more like a chopped cheese hero. The Philly is not too bad but there is very little meat for the price and you may still be hungry afterwards.

The servers here are friendly and quick and efficient. And the place is pleasant to eat in if you choose to. I would stick to their platters or their gyros when ordering.“

“My hubby and I would drive all the way to Manhattan and buy from their truck. I was very happy when this fantastic restaurant came to Long Island years ago. What can I say about Halal’s meals? #SCRUMPTIOUS“

“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.“

“This place is amazing the food is delicious and fresh, piping hot and so savory. Usually the pita bread is bland in other places but THIS place, ALL or their food was spectacular. The owners where so kind and proud of their business it was amazing. 100/10!“

“Best pizza in town.. highly recommended 👍🏼“

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

“Salmon over rice and chicken over rice is always our go-to when ordering from this place. Staff are friendly and our order is always ready when we arrive if we order ahead of time. Good food at a reasonable price. Would always stop by when around the area.“

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