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!“

“Visited Spice Garden tonight for 1st time.

Excellent service. Food portions are quite good and huge portions.

“Last time I was here at the Empire Gyro, it was great and today I was trying a lot to find it and finally I found it so I thought I should review for the last time first and then I will just go there. And get the same grade service again. And yummy food. Of course the man there is great. 😊“

“I got lunch there today and loved it!“

“I had a great experience at this spot! I ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was absolutely on point. The chicken was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and served hot and fresh. Every bite had so much flavor, and the sauce really took it to the next level, seriously excellent and paired perfectly with the sandwich.

On top of the food being amazing, the people working there were welcoming, friendly, and super kind. You can tell they care about both the food and the customers. Great vibes, great service, and great food. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The ambience was really nice and welcoming. She helped me a lot since it was my first time and I was honestly stuck on what to order. The food was great, well-seasoned, and came out perfect. Overall a great experience and I’ll definitely be back.“

“I must say I’ve never met a kinder individual in my life. Mr. Oli works the front and cooks all the food. He is the kindest man you’ll ever meet and is one hell of a chef. The service here is impeccable and everytime I’ve come they’ve extended their kindness to allow me to try new sauces, food, etc. The chicken is absolutely fantastic especially if you live hot chicken in any capacity. The prices are great and it is in my opinion a must try!“

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“I was here yesterday, ordered Chicken Karahi, Kebabs, Chicken Tikka with Naan. Everything was delicious and closer to the perfection. Raita and special Spicy Onions made things more delicious. I will definitely visit again to try other dishes. One more thing which i liked, there werr no mandatory service charges, you can tip whatever you want to. Beautiful small space with Quality Food. Please owners keep it like that. Thank You“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best halal place in the area. I've been a loyal customer for a while now, and ever since the change in management, the food is consistently delicious, fresh, and served quickly. They’re always welcoming and make sure that everything is just right. It's clear that they care about their customers, and it shows in both the service and the food. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“T is amazing! T is his nickname, I wish I knew his actual first name. No lie, he provided me with the absolute best customer service, little did he know I wasn’t having the best day and he made my day bright again just by being very nice, prompt and professional. The wings and fried Oreos are amazing! Not only did I enjoy my meal? I am very satisfied with the customer service that I received. Thank you T once again for making my day!“

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

“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“

“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 👍🏼“
