Love the food here. Fresh, delicious. No complaints. I usually get the platter/plate you get 6 salads, a meat and pita bread. Very filling.

This is so freaking delicious. A hidden gem and a must try. I had the falafel yesterday, so good. Today was the lamb kebab platter. My sister had the beef kebab yesterday and I tasted it, so good!

I just want to say terrible customer service, they don’t seem to care what the customer has to say and what requests the customer may have, let me make this clear. I will never shop at this establishment ever again in my life. Sandwich was completely cold and falafel tasted very bland. You’re better off going somewhere else where they will treat you much better. The manager had a terrible attitude. Never again is now!

Falafel was burnt when I received my order 3 weeks ago. The service was slow too. And side note, Please don’t call yourself a “Mediterranean restaurant” if this is really colonized food. It’s one thing you steal peoples culture and food and can’t even cook it right. How pitiful.

Came here before a gig, got some falafel sandwiches which were excellent. Staff were friendly and nice which, considering how many people were clambering to order food, should be credited.
Would get something from here again the next time I’m in the ‘hood.

Excellent falafel tucked away in a convenient spot for commuters taking the LIRR through Forest Hills, and probably lots of other people too. The sandwiches are very good in and of themselves but are taken up several notches by the slew of fresh, delicious cold veg dishes and salads that help to fill them out, which I immediately started trying to reverse engineer when I got home.

Nothing but a horrible experience at this place. The staff, including the owners were extremely rude, making us wait a long time for our food and being very dismissive when we asked for water. I also saw the owner yell at a customer who questioned her when she was waiting over an hour for her food. The atmosphere didn't exist, it is a hole in the wall with no indoor seating and extremely little outdoor seating, only chairs for three people. Most importantly (aside from yelling at customers), the food was disgusting. You can tell just by looking at it that it is completely inauthentic Middle Eastern food, which is not surprising considering the owners and all employees are not from the Middle East. Calling themselves "authentic" is offensive to the entire region. Their hummus tasted worse than Sabra, falafel was clearly not fresh, the chicken kabab had ZERO flavor or seasoning, and everything was ice cold. Definitely disappointing and my friends and I will never return, which sucks coming from a Kew Gardens local. For ACTUALLY authentic and palatable - dare I say good - Middle Eastern food, try Astoria or Bay Ridge. I would absolutely not recommend.
I live in Queens for almost 20 years and I never knew about this place, anything you take from this place taste good, very professional approach and always fresh, I will definitely recommend it for ZAN … you will really enjoy it!!!!

Small hole in the wall but food and service are excellent. No real sit down. Just take out. I always get the falafel platter.
