“This the 2nd time I was here and they do not disappoint. The 1st pic was the pork soup, the 2nd pic which is fron my 1st visit was the wonton soup which is my favorite. The pork one is good, but the soup tastes like gravy it was a bit much for me. And the 3rd pic is the chips very light I luv love them. Oh, and I had a glass of mohito“

“We are true Indian FOODIES!! Our whole family loves Indian food. We have tried every Indian restaurant from Long Island & parts of Florida! Kiran Palace is the Best!!!! I am so happy they have finally brought back their LUNCH BUFFET!!! They did it in such a way that no one else does, they have the buffet table set up & bring out tandoori chicken as well as other dishes FRESH to your table as much as you want so these dishes don’t become dried out or soggy!! ALSO, they change different dishes every day, so we usually go twice a week & it’s always fresh!!! The staff is super friendly & makes us always welcome! They even have their buffet on weekends! They are closed on Tuesday. In case I haven’t said enough, WE LOVE KIRAN PALACE!!!“

“Tony, Tony, Tony... Our party of 24 will forever be grateful to you for saving a night out with our family. When I called asking if you could accommodate a large party after plans to go into the city fell apart, you made it happen within a 1/2 hour even though you were super busy with other parties and on a Saturday night before Mother's Day. You welcomed us with open arms and treated us like royalty. You, Sal & your staff made sure we were happy, and we were. The staff is amazing. Patrizia's, as busy as it is all the time, never fails to provide the most delicious and fresh food and in abundance of it. The staff is very attentive and all work well together. The atmosphere is also a lot of fun. You have definitely gained 24 lifetime customers. God Bless!“

“O Yes! O Mandarin!

On Sunday night, we went to one of Long Island’s best Chinese restaurants, I’m talking about O Mandarin!

There are many Chinese takeout and restaurants to choose from, but many are really sub par or just fair ( ok, don’t start piling on, I know there are some good ones too).

But for us, O Mandarin offers a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and a menu that offers both traditional favorites with a selection of more authentic options. It’s for these reasons , it’s our favorite.

We started with some hot & sour soup 🥣 which was thick and loaded with veggies 🥗 & tofu.

The scallion bubble 🫧 pancake 🥞 is unique and delicious. It’s like an airy pillow. Just tear off a piece and dip it in the red curry 🍛 sauce and you will know why this is so different from other places flat style.

We tried the crispy shiitake mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 which was new for us. a light, delicate flavor dusted with cumin and chili 🌶️ with lots of crunch.

For our main dishes 🍽️ we had the Thousand Layer Tofu, Yu Xiang Chicken 🐔 , and the Wild Pepper 🫑 Beef! Each had its own unique flavor and texture. We loved 🥰 all 3!

The Thousand Layer Tofu features: a mix of Pork Belly, Jalapeño 🌶️ , Red Bell 🔔 Pepper , Chinese Celery 🥬 all in a light sauce. The tofu is like folded napkins , not cubes which I really enjoyed.

The Yu Xiang Chicken 🐓 is a blend of shredded chicken🐔 , 🧅 strips, Bamboo shoots, Bell Pepper 🫑 , & Mushroom 🍄‍🟫 in a Spicy 🌶️ Garlic 🧄 Sauce. A refreshing dish with a touch of heat 🔥.

The Wild Pepper 🌶️ Beef 🥩 was a treat.
Bell 🔔 Peppers 🫑 | Jalapeño 🌶️ | Basil 🌿 | Onion 🧅 in a silky Brown Pepper Sauce. Full of flavor!

And all throughout our meal we sipped our delicious Jasmine Green Tea 🍵 ! Made with fresh tea 🍵 leaves 🍃. So tasty and aromatic!

For great Chinese cooking, take a visit to O Mandarin. It’s worth the trip!

600 Old Country Rd., Hicksville, NY ( just off the wantagh pkwy).

Go and enjoy! 😊“

“I enjoyed having there Cheeseburger.“

“GREAT STAFF AND GREAT FOOD GREAT HONEST STAFF“

“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.“

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

“Was in the mood for a beef patty this restaurant was the first choice google recommended. I must say the aroma from the restaurant alone will have you intoxicated. I was greeted by the staff that’s was very kind and helpful. The beef patty was flaky and very tasty the spices complemented the meat perfectly. This is my 2nd visit here still definitely will be returning“

“Love it here! Everyone is like one big family and very welcoming!“

“Barnshed Brewing is a cozy little down and dirty brewery in Hicksville. We visited them on a busy trivia night, and the place was packed! We stuck around for a flight and were pleasantly surprised by their jalapeño beer. Unfortunately, I think the beer may have been a limited run, but I hope they brew it again! It's not often we get to taste the perfect amount of spice to beer ratio.“

“A nice corner Chinese restaurant that has yet to disappoint me and/or make me ill. Great food at great prices. Been their customer for 6 years solid and they haven't gotten hit with the inflation gouge bug.

Wheelchair accessibility: Single floor direct "wheel in"“

“I have had many items from this place and they have all been amazing. The spinach roll, chicken parm roll, pizza, etc. Their vodka sauce is fantastic and I was hooked on it for a while. Then I tried their bolognese sauce. I have eaten spaghetti bolognese in Italy, London, and probably 20 different places in New York and NJ. The bolognese at Alex’s is top 2 or 3 and I can get it without having to go to Italy. Huge portion and so delicious. Super friendly staff as well.“

“1st time & we love everything we ordered!“

“We have been going for the past decade and excellent service and food is amazing.“

“all you can eattttttt...“

“Good food reasonably priced.“

“great food.very friendly. so much for your money.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at an Afghan restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed. The service provided by Saba was exceptional, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the entire experience. The food was equally delightful, with each dish boasting rich flavors and authentic taste. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with both excellent service and delicious cuisine. Highly recommended!“

“La Ronda Marina Buenaza, fue un delete y Gozamos el Show, buena velada en Fiestas Patrias, Bendiciones a todos y que Viva el Peru y su Rica comida🙌🇵🇪🥰💁‍♀️🎉“

“Been ordering from here for the past couple of years now. Really the only place in the area that offers halal pizza and wings. They have some very good pizza flavors. Wings can be a hit or a miss. Id suggest they allow mixing of different flavors for the wings.“

“You might go there for furniture, but the cafeteria is definitely worth a stop. The Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce are a classic and always hit the spot—comfort food at its best. They’ve also got some solid veggie options and tasty desserts (the Daim cake is underrated!). Plus, it’s super affordable, which makes grabbing a bite there even better. Great for a quick, no-fuss meal before or after shopping.“

“This take away Chinese restaurant has been serving very good food for a long time, They took over from the former owner many years ago which was a big improvement for our Chinese food eating community. When I order meals consisting of steak, shrimp or chicken that primary part of the dish will be fresh and tasty. resulting in all their food getting a 4 star rating. Their appetizer are very good, might I suggest the Vegetable dumplings. The only appetizer I ask about before ordering is their Ribs. I have found it necessary to call the owner and voice my displeasure with their ribs as in "Where's the meat". One time our ribs were not up to our standards so now I ask and I will be save that disappointment if they are small.. Their soup is delicious my favorite, hot and sours soup.. My wife and I have tried just about everything on their extensive menu and it's all very good. Now that we found Leung How Kitchen we don't need to drive to Bethpage and order from a not very good Chinese restaurant: The Orient.where the food is just okay but their staff is condescending and rude. Not nice people in the service business. I suggest giving this fine take away Chinese restaurant s try.. . .“

“Kandahar Grill is a great halal spot in Hicksville! We ordered the family platter, and the serving was more than enough for all of us. The food was delicious, and the staff were very nice and helpful throughout our visit.

If you’re dining in, they automatically add an 18% tip to the total—but honestly, the service and hospitality deserve it. Definitely worth a visit for generous portions and friendly service.“

“This place is a hidden gem. It is a must when you want Indian food. I love coming here with my family. Chicken tiki masala is the best. Mango lassi is also very good and garlic naan is a must in your order. I have tried other places around Long Island and Queens and this place is still the very best. Their service is exceptional. They are very attentive“

“This is an excellent place for catering. It is a hidden gem. I used them twice for catering. Very pleased with the excellent customer service. The food is excellent. I had an event today and I needed an additional full tray of food. I called and they delivered it. Highly recommend and thank you for the organized professional service. I will continue to use them for catering.“

“The pizza was delicious, we all enjoyed the white sauce, and the thin crust, thank you ? so much, god bless you ???? staff is very friendly and courteous, always a pleasure.

Vegetarian options: Makes them just the way you ask them to“

“I've had the pleasure of celebrating multiple birthdays at Margarita Cafe, and each time has been an absolute delight! Their birthday celebrations are always a highlight, making the occasion feel special and memorable. The drinks are consistently strong and delicious, and the live guacamole preparation at the table is a fantastic touch. The food is also tasty and satisfying. But what really makes Margarita Cafe stand out is the decent service - friendly, attentive, and efficient. Overall, I've had wonderful experiences here and would highly recommend it for any celebration or casual gathering. 4.5/5 stars!“

“I’ve been to a few Indian restaurants and I have to say this is my favorite one because they use so many spices in their food and they have so much flavor that it keeps me coming back. The waiters are very nice and attentive. They have many dinner options, especially if you’re vegetarian definitely a much try, this place gets a 10 from me.“

“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!“

“Best. Corned beef hash. Ever
As an avid lover of corned beef hash, this has the hands down best, I can’t even.

Home fries has tricolor peppers (which is nay for me but yay for bell pepper lovers). Wheat toast was freakin 5 grain or 7 grain fancy toast.

This place really goes above n beyond.
Love!“

“Great food and extremely friendly staff… went back tonight after not going for a while, it was better than I remembered!!!“

“Delicious and quick service“

“great delicious food 😊 👌🏾.“
