Cafeterias near Elmhurst, NY

“I didn’t know which one tasted better, so I tried them all. I found 3 things I liked... I asked them their names, but it turned out that the person working on them didn't speak much English. She answered me in Spanish...I don't understand Spanish, so I ignored the name?One is filled with egg, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it gets...The other one has the same texture as mochi. It's a potato on the outside and meaty on the inside.“

“The best Algerian restaurant in NYC, no doubt 🥰“

“I stopped by the Hindu Temple Canteen after visiting the temple and the place delivers exactly what people say about it. The food is simple, fresh and made with the kind of consistency you only get in a temple kitchen.

I tried two plates because I was there with a friend. The pongal was warm, comforting and properly seasoned. The curd vada had a light, balanced taste and felt refreshing. The mixture on the side added a nice crunch. The dosa was crisp, not oily, and the coconut chutney tasted clean. The sambar was mild but paired well with everything.

The canteen is not about presentation. It's about honest food that feels familiar and satisfying. Portions are fair and pricing is very reasonable for New York. If you're already visiting the temple, stopping here makes total sense. It’s quick, reliable and a good break before heading back out.“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“So good! Excellent chicken noodle soup (the chili + bread on the side is great.) I normally HATE sweet potatoes but the sweet potato sandwich changed my mind, convincingly. The bread! And days later, I am still thinking about the broccoli spoon salad. Can’t wait to get back…“

“Lovely spot, very friendly staff, coffee to die for yummy ;-) Perfect place to sit down and have a lovely lunch. Can't wait to get back in there.“

“Robert, the concierge at the Ritz Carlton NOMAD recommended Ol'Days - I'm so glad he did! ABSOLUTELY delicious! Every single dish is so thoughtful and layered and yummy!

Ps/you will love the arepas!“

“Amazing food,excellent dessert and delicious fresh coffee. Our new daily spot!“

“The food and the guy working at the deli both tremendous. The check out lady ruined the entire experience rude and obviously unhappy she is working. She had nothing but attitude no smile no hello just rude. African American, heavy set her register was right next to the lady assisting open register. NYU is the best send her home.“

“We love cafe 28 for breakfast as they have a huge choice. You can’t beat an everything bagel with sausage, bacon, eggs and cheese washed down with a large latte to get you set up for a days shopping on 6th. The omelette are great too. Highly recommend for a cheap but tasty start to your day“

“Best food in forest hills area love it. Guys are always smiling and the place is very clean all the time.“

“Our experience eating here was thoroughly enjoyable. We liked what we ordered though we've had better elsewhere. I found the experience outstanding. The entire workforce shows impressive capability. I'm ready to return at the first opportunity.“

“I came to NYU for a week-long program during the summer. Some of the food was good while some was not, especially the breakfast. However, having visited several colleges during the summer, I've found that the menu isn't typically as good as what's offered during the regular school season, so it is completely understandable. Despite this, I still enjoyed the food and the variety of options available.“
