Halal Restaurants near Forest Hills, NY

“great food and amazing service! Amina is a superb hostess!“

“The place looks ambient with string lights. The food is phenomenal! Ordered the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, samosa chaat, cheese naan, and mango lassi - they have delicious sauces on the side - brown sauce and the tomato are great. The staff are friendly, including Nita who was pleasant and took care of us, and even ran out to catch us and give my keys that I crumple-wrapped in a napkin and forgotten on the table. Prices are super reasonable compared to Jackson Heights Indian places and you get your money's worth with how big the servings are. Highly recommend, hidden gem!“

“I've been coming here since they've opened and I've seen all the renovations and all the changes to the menu and so far they just keep getting better The food is magnificent the fact that it's made all fresh and on the spot right in front of you made to order is one of the pluses and the fact that it's halal so my sister my nephew and my niece who are also Muslim could eat here and my mother's vegetarian and she loves their vegetarian dishes“

“We just had our Frnd Ashirbad on Sep 27,2024. We had 250 guests attend our wedding. Every single guest told us it was the absolute best Ashirbad they’ve EVER attended. The Agra Palace Restaurant & Party Hall was absolutely AMAZING for us! From communication, care, attentiveness, they went above and beyond for every single one of our wants and needs. The catering quality is outstanding.Special shoutout to Tareq and Mamun bhai for arranging and coordinating for us, to helping us figure out exactly how to bring our vision to life- they were EXTRAORDINARY! Our frnd Monisha and Aurgo were outstanding on Ashirbad day, making sure everything went perfectly for our special day. We are beyond grateful for everything that The Agra Place Restaurant & party Hall did for us. They made our frnd Ashirbad truly the most magical and memorable days of our lives!“

“I used to come here all the time when I was in college, grad school, and even beyond when I lived in New York City. Now that I am visiting New York City again this is the first place I stopped by to get a taste of the good old food I used to have here.“

“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated“

“The mint tea hit the spot and the chicken pastilla was also very solid. The highlight for us was the jawhara which was so light and crispy, with a great flavor of pudding. For the pastilla the portion was a bit small but fine for the price. However my personal preference would be to have egg inside (I don't think they use egg in theirs). Still, very pleasant food and service and I would definitely come back.“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“l've visited NYC a few times and tried a lot of food spots, but this one is by far my favorite! ! came with friends and we all agreed - everything was amazing. The food was incredible, and the service was just as great.
Everyone who served us was so nice and welcoming, and made this experience 10X better!!!! If you've been waiting for a sign to try a new place, this is it. 10/10, absolutely loved it!“

“I’ve eaten here twice when visiting the city and entering via Penn Station. The dumpling soup was insanely good, especially when I was sick! My friends have gotten the signature Lagman twice and it’s always super super good. Pull up to this restaurant NOW“

“The sliders are decent and large with a good varying amount of spice levels suited for anyone to enjoy. The hot mozz on the other hand, which is pretty viral, was a let down. It tastes really heavily like one of the red peppers, cayenne or paprika, and seems to just be known for a cheese pull.“

“Perfect! Here's the driver-friendly English review you asked for, polished to sound natural and authentic:
As a driver who’s always on the go, this place is an absolute lifesaver!
Service is lightning-fast, so I never lose time on my shift, and my meal is always piping hot when I get it. The chicken and lamb over rice are loaded with meat, and the flavorful sauce is chef’s kiss—total comfort food that keeps me full for hours. Prices are totally reasonable, and they even throw in a free drink! The staff is always so friendly and polite, making every stop a great experience. 10/10, my go-to spot every time I’m in the area!“

“The food was really good and the prices were reasonable. I like that it's ready immediately. My one complaint was that I couldnt hear the employee talking to me at all. She was very quiet and it was hard to hear through the plexiglass. Otherwise perfect.“

“I used to go into the city for halal then by richmondhill/glendale. one night after work i decided to try essa's chicken over rice by qcm... 10$... that was 2021 best decision ive made and price has stayed exactly the same from when i first went there till now, not only is his chicken seasoned great but he blesses you with a perfect mix of veggies, fries and one falafel(if thats what ur lookin for but if u a plane jane then he'll bless ya wit that to. His green sauce is crazy good too. he's a genuine down to earth guy and always says wassup when u walk by.“

“Halal Chicks never misses. The food is always fresh, hot, and ridiculously flavorful, actually crave worthy every time. Top-tier service. Friendly, fast, and always showing love. You can tell they take pride in what they do. 10/10 every single time. My go-to spot in the neighborhood“

“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 😊“

“Top notch Halal 👌 With it's captivating unique flavors, Shwarma Bay stands out from the rest. This is not your typical Halal cart food. This has its own spices and flavor profile. You can taste the spices in the rice. The hot sauce is more of a creamy hot sauce unlike the red spicy 🔥 hot you tend to get from other halal carts. Chicken and beef well made and sauces on point. Shwarma Bay is in its own category“

“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.“

“This place is insanely good. I love the falafel and the spicy red sauce - it has such a good flavor. The service is wonderful, and the guys are super friendly. Would recommend this to literally everyone I know <3

I would add a photo but it didn’t last long enough lmao“

“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!“

“The halal combo here is up there with some of the best halal carts in the city. It’s my go-to option here in East Harlem (as well as their chicken loaded fries). They recently went through some renovations/branding changes so the atmosphere here is nice. The staff are also very friendly.“

“Great spot. The guy there was really nice, it was first time eating there and I didn’t know which sauce to get for my tenders so I got a really good recommendation! The loaded fries were so good it made me so full I had leftovers to take home! I recommend coming here, the environment is welcoming!10/10“

“Delicious food.Best service.Thank you.“

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

“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.“

“An incredible experience all around! Kemo’s Hot Kitchen is a MUST - the food is exceptional, the ambiance is inviting & warm, the staff make you feel at peace! Chicken wraps are some of the best I’ve had in NYC, will definitely be back! Thank you Kemo!!“

“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!! ❤️“

“My go to place for Uyghur food. Perfect for both dine in and take out. Just keep in mind that the tea is only available for dine in. Parking isn’t too bad, you might have to circle the block on Sunday’s. The food is fresh and so flavorful. Would definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the area.“

““The most delicious somsa I’ve ever had 🥟 — tried it here in New York! I also had their (plov osh) and everything was full of authentic flavor. I highly recommend it to everyone!!!
Suxrob osh,Feruz thanks for friendly service.👍👍 your are the best…“

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!“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“Stopped by after work and got a chicken and lamb shawarma — the food was delicious and really hit the spot. The meat was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked, and the portion size was very satisfying after a long shift. The workers were also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back again!“

“This place is my new go to when it comes to halal food. Place is cute and clean, people are friendly, service is great and of course I got my favorite mix over rice. Highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to try their nachos and milkshakes.“

“This restaurant is a great spot if you’re craving comfort food with lots of options. Their chicken wings are flavorful and crispy, and the burgers are juicy and filling. The gyros are well-seasoned with tender meat and fresh toppings that taste authentic. The platters come with generous portions, making them perfect if you’re really hungry or sharing with someone. Everything is served hot and fresh, and the menu has something for everyone. Overall, it’s a solid place to visit when you want tasty, satisfying food without spending too much.“

“The food was simply awesome, fresh and super tasty 😋 Enjoyed a lot there as their friendly attitude just made us feel we’re at home not in a restaurant. This was our 1st visit here, Inn shaa Allah will keep coming again and again.“

“Great food and big portions. The chicken and gyro are always on point, and the white sauce is amazing. The manager gave really good service and made the experience even better. Super fast overall and solid prices. Definitely a go-to spot when you want something tasty and filling.“

“If you get chance don’t miss it..“

“I recently visited Wonder and was seriously impressed. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor—exactly what you hope for but don’t always get. The variety is also a huge standout; there are so many great options that it’s hard to choose just one.

Everything felt well-executed and consistent, which speaks to a strong operation behind the scenes. The quality was noticeable in every bite, and nothing felt rushed or overlooked. It’s the kind of place you can count on when you want something satisfying and done right. If you’re in the area and want quality food without compromise, this spot absolutely delivers.“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“I always come here for chicken over rice when I’m low on cash but need a good meal. Always quick, cheap af ($7 exactly. For reference, a cart nearby sells for $12 + tax), and tastes great. The dude is always so kind and make sure the order is served how you want.“

“Royal Grill Halal on 44th & 6th Ave is a true Midtown gem (I've worked nearby for 30 years). He’s the nicest vendor you’ll meet and the chicken and rice is incredibly flavorful and fresh, with generous portions and speedy, friendly service. Highly recommended for delicious food and a nice experience every time.“

“This is hands down the best halal food truck in NYC and I’d fr fight somebody about it. I love these guys, especially Ahmed that guy really knows how to make you feel like a valued customer. First time he called me habibi it fr warmed my heart 🥹 The food is top tier, always tastes great and they don’t skimp out on you. I never go to another truck if I can help it and if you’re ever in the area and looking for something tasty that won’t break the bank, go see these guys 100%“

“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.“

“This place is such an amazing hidden gem that really deserves to be much more well known and popular. Everything was so freshly made and absolutely delicious and Nadira, Edgar and Muhammad were amazing and so nice and lets us try some of their new freshly made dishes too. Everyone who we have reccomended to go here all enjoy the food!“

“Tasty halal food just a few steps away from the hotels near Queensbridge 21 street. It's delicious, clean, and a fantastic deal. The gentleman cooking the food is super nice. I highly recommend it. I was really craving that halal food. The chicken is well-seasoned, the rice is cooked just right, and the fresh sides like salad and onions are great. Definitely recommend it. You get a ton of food for around $10. Thank you!!!!!

Well lite truck. Stainless steel clean preparation area. NY has a score system for cleaniness in food establishment. Al Hanna Halal Food has a A rating. Go check him out.“

“Alhamdulillah! Amazing food and even better service! It's a great place for lunch/take-out. I had been there for more than 50 times. They NEVER frustrated me. I tried (1) Chicken Shawarma with Pita and (2) Falafel. Both of them are super good and highly-recommended.

Brother, Omar, and his staff are very welcoming and caring people. They not only provide high-quality and delicious food but also very loyal to their guests. Thank you so much both Omar (Owner) and Omar (Jr.)!

If you're looking for great Mediterranean Cuisine, this is the spot!“
