“I stopped by Zaki’s Halal while looking for a place to eat, and I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely incredible fresh, flavorful, and one of the best halal meals I’ve had.
The owner was extremely kind and welcoming, and the young lady working there was also very professional, friendly, and helpful. Their customer service made the experience even better.
The restaurant was spotless, well-maintained, and had a warm, inviting atmosphere.
I highly recommend Zaki’s Halal to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“One of my favorite halal spots in queens. Food and service is impeccable. Even though I got a salad platter they still threw in some rice so you won’t go hungry. Chicken and lamb are amazing. Perfect amount of char and still tender. They also usually give out a free sample of falafel which is cooked and seasoned perfectly. They also cook it in an oval shape so it’s a bit more crispy as opposed to the circle ones. Must try and always get extra white sauce and hot sauce. Food is hot, fresh and comes out quickly“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

“I love this food, it’s so delicious and the service is wonderful.. I can eat here everyday.“

“I went there a lot and had better food I really never went anywhere else for Gyro and Chicken over rice rather Shahs and this is way better. Higher portion good hot sauce and white sauce and perfect items. Will be going there again. Seriously the best I always used .to go there with my buddy“

“Zef and his crew took great care of our family for our daughter's first birthday. The pizza was delicious, and their friendly service was unmached! The kids loved the truck, and we got nothing positive feedback from our friends and family about how great they made the whole party! We are so happy that we chose them, and give our highest recommendation!“

“Not Just Lemonade” is a gem! Even before tasting a bite, what stands out immediately is the atmosphere and care they put into everything. The space is spotless, welcoming, and beautifully put together, which already says so much about the pride and cleanliness behind their food and drinks. Presentation matters, and you can tell by looking at the setup and the way everything is served that quality and hygiene are top priorities here.

Friends who have tried their menu can’t stop raving about the freshness and flavor, and after seeing how carefully everything is handled, I believe it. If you’re looking for a place that values cleanliness, care, and a positive vibe as much as taste, “Not Just Lemonade” is a must-visit. I’m looking forward to coming back and experiencing more myself, but it’s clear they’re setting the bar high.”“

“I stopped by “That No Good Burger Joint” for lunch yesterday and extremely surprised at the customer service and the menu filled with options. I ordered a triple smash cheeseburger with the fries and washed it all down with 2 flat tires. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friend and family and would plan to go back soon. The burger was cooked to perfection and the fries were just right. The server was extremely attentive and made sure my and my cousin were well taken care. I would give this restaurant a 10/10 no question.“

“Just had some of the best tacos from this local truck 🌮🔥 The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. You can tell the owner puts his heart into every order—working hard, staying friendly, and keeping everything running smoothly even during the rush.
It’s not just great food, it’s the dedication and hustle that make this place special. Definitely coming back and highly recommend everyone give it a try!“

“First time there and the food and the staff were great. Bear tacos and the margaritas were excellent. Definitely will be back.“

“Uber Eats Fast warm delivery and fresh ...“

“Really good, the spices and seasoning are strong enough and it’s like $2 a skewer with so many options. I always get the lamb, the potatoes (which taste like seasoned chips), and other meats. The fish balls are soft on the inside, with a roasted crust on the outside - actually good too! It’s also spicy too, but not too spicy (probably like pickled jalapeño level?)“

“The food and price are unmatched. For ONLY 8 dollars I got lamb over rice AND the meal included a free soda! The halal carts around my neighborhood stopped the free soda and hiked up the prices YEARS AGO. I HIGHLY recommend the place! Also, the man working the halal cart has a nice flirtatious charm to him! Tip the man!“

“Recomiendo a todos que nos visiten“

“If you’re looking for authentic Colombian food that hits every time, this food truck is IT.

This has been my partner and I’s go-to date night spot for about a year now, and it truly never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made day of. You can taste the quality in every bite.

Prices can vary — sometimes it’s around $34 for two plates, other times closer to $38 — but the portions and flavor make it worth it every time. They’re usually busy (because it’s that good), so I highly recommend ordering about 15 minutes ahead.

A few honest notes:
- Only cash!
- Sometimes they run out of tomatoes or avocado for the salad, but they’ll let you know in advance if you’re ordering ahead.
- Occasionally the salad needs a little more vinegar, don’t be shy to ask for extra!
- And definitely try all their sauces. The spicy red sauce is AMAZING… but fair warning: some days it’s fun spicy and other days it’s clear-your-sinuses spicy.

Overall, fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and the perfect casual date night vibe. If you love Colombian food, this spot is a must.“

“Great takeout place for anyone who loves Birria. I've tried the Birria Nachos, Birria Mulitas, Birria Tacos, and the Birria Noodles with a large Horchata. They also have tortas and taquitos which are very flavorful, If you love Birria, this is your spot!“

“The birria and beef tacos are delicious, and so are each and every one of the sauces. I want to highlight the excellent service that the person who assisted me provided me. I definitely can't wait to go again to try more of the menu from this food truck in Uniondale ♥️♥️♥️“

“i have had the burrito, nachos, quesadilla and the guac, everything is always so good and fresh. the steak is my favorite, it’s very flavorful and tender. the portions are generous and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. it’s very reasonably priced too, and service is fast. i always forget to take a photo because i eat it too quickly. highly recommend!“

“This guy makes the best halal food in queens, Been to a million different carts and his is the most consistent, get the combo over rice with white, hot sauce and one line of bbq and prepared to be blessed! His attitude is always on point too“

“I’ve been going to Chapli for a while now. The people and the food are great. I love their attention to make sure the food is cooked perfectly every single time. I even asked for a ton of sauces on the side and they had no problem, whatsoever!! Definitely worth a try for a nice fulfilling halal meal.“

“Hands down our favorite BBQ skewer street vendor in Flushing. Their flavors are consistently better than other stalls we’ve tried. Service is excellent too, everyone is friendly and happy to help set up tables or rearrange chairs for families when needed. Casual outdoor seating gives the place a fun street food vibe. While it’s a bit farther from the Main St, Roosevelt Ave and Prince St area, we always make the walk because their food is worth it. One small downside is that sidewalks can get overcrowded during busy times and traffic can be noisy, but it’s all part of the lively atmosphere so we’ll definitely be back!“

“Pretty solid quality food and prepped just the way I like. Chicken is well seasoned but not over done, lamb is cut into fine pieces. Pita was nice and fresh.There are more options than the standard chicken and rice.It was my first time here so I hope the quality is consistent unlike most halal carts I frequent.“

“This place surprised me! My friend brought me here, I didn’t really know what to expect. But I’m genuinely impressed.
The food here was really solid, and I’d absolutely be interested in returning for more. Am curious to see what everyone thinks as well!
As matches to the name, this place served Halal foods so if halal is important to you, let me vouch that this is an excellent option!“

“really good chicken over rice and shawarma rice plate!! loved the green curry sauce“

“It was my first time trying Empanada Queen, a food truck in Baldwin, and overall, it was a decent experience. They had a deal for 10 empanadas for $28, so I decided to try a variety. I went with shrimp, beef, chicken, and mac and cheese empanadas. The flavors were all pretty tasty, with the shrimp, beef, and chicken being the standouts. However, I wasn’t a fan of the mac and cheese one—it just didn’t have the right texture or flavor I was expecting.

The wait time was short, which was a nice surprise, especially since it was freezing outside! I was glad to have the car to wait in while the food was being prepared.

One thing to note is that the outer shell of the empanadas was quite hard, which made them a bit tough to bite into. On the positive side, the fillings themselves were flavorful. The only other downside was that they only offer one sauce, which had a bit of spice to it. While I didn’t mind it, I wish there were a few more sauce options to choose from.

I'd still recommend it if you're in the area and craving empanadas.“

“Ever since I found this place, its the ONLY place around work I’ll go to for lunch. I once had something pop up immediately after picking up my greek salad there, and only had a chance to eat 7 hours later, after it had turned into a soggy mess. You know what: IT STILL BANGED! Deeply loyal, 10/10, two thumbs up, enthusiastically recommend“

“Absolutely delicious. Had the oxtail plate and added Mac n cheese. Will definitely be back. Great seasoning I forgot to add the jerk sauce.“

“I was hesitate about trying this food truck for the first time but let me tell you , it was worth it , Got 2 orders of chicken nachos That service was amazing very respectful people working , & The food hit the spot definitely will be back to try more items off the menu 🤞🏽“

“yes , great food, awsome service. Anastasia is so nice ...thank you“

“My favorite taco spot in all of New York. Their lengua tacos are absolutely insane. I love that they’re open past midnight. The hot sauce is HOT! Parking in this area can be annoying but I’m usually walking here so that hasn’t been a problem for me.“

“food was absolutely delicious and savory. i got a chicken over rice and a lamb over rice and the portions are insanely generous. they make their food with such patience and they take their time making sure the meat is thoroughly cooked. this cart is my go to every time i come to jamaica hospital. i have spent hundreds of dollars on them over the past couple of years. no matter who is serving me, they never fail to impress with their food, attitude and manners. they even gave me a free soda and insisted i keep it!!“
