Food looks great and tastes great. Their service is also top notch. Shout-out to Ian for the amazing service and always getting our orders right down to the letter.“

“Noodumpling in Hicksville is an absolute gem! I stopped in recently and was blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. The dumplings are some of the best I’ve had—juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care.
The staff was super friendly and patient when explaining the menu, and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the whole restaurant feels clean and welcoming.
If you love authentic noodles and dumplings, this place needs to be on your list. I’m already planning my next visit! 🍜🥟“

“Today was the first time we've ever ordered from Smashburger. I was intreged with the bogo burger deal and ordered from seamless. the burgers were still hot and juicy when they arrived and fries with garlic, rosemary and olive oil were honestly the best fries Ive ever had plus the Brussels sprouts were amazing!! Can't wait to be hungry again and order more!!“

The food is next level delicious, the empire breakfast wrap is my order, eggs perfectly cooked, sausage soft and not chewy, and cheese melty and delicious! Stop by there for a great breakfast, you won’t regret it, service is very fast and friendly too.“

“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!!!“

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!“

“all you can eattttttt...“

“After so long I went with my family to eat dinner on Monday.We had enjoyed our food to the fullest and we had amazing service from “Arman”.Trust me he was so nice and helpful.We visit kebab house plenty of times because of food taste but this time we enjoyed our food just because Arman was there.Kebab house need more crew members like Arman.“

“ATTENTION: To you veteran patrons of New Chili & Curry “THE ORIGINAL OWNERS ARE BACK.”

My first visit to New Chill dates back 15 years, for countless years my family and I enjoyed 5 Star Indian/Thai fusion where the menu offers over 100 food items, each cooked to perfection. It seems after Covid the ownership/management changed hands, it was not the same.

Well the original Allstar team is back and tonight’s dinner did not disappoint. The menu is the same and we ordered our favorites, it felt like we went back in time.

So for those of you who have lost faith, consider faith no longer lost.“

“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.“

“It was great one-on-one service that I received. The people that are very friendly and the food is fresh and delicious!! Is absolutely worth going there and definitely will be a regular place I'll be going to. Five Star customer service“

“Good food reasonably priced.“

“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.“

“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🙌🇵🇪🥰💁‍♀️🎉“

“Hands down the absolute best Indian restaurant on Long Island. The Port Washington (I believe original) location is a very close second. The food is consistently outstanding. The portions are larger than other restaurant’s and containers are overflowing.

It does not specify that each entree comes with rice (don’t worry it does). Prices at this point are very comparable to other places where you will get less. Don’t sleep on this experience!“

“I have not tried their pizzas but their Philly Cheesteak hero is filling with cooked peppers and onions, thinly sliced steak, and melty cheese. They could've added more cheese and added garlic butter to the bread but it's fine. Service here is quick and fast casual. Good for a quick stop for lunch or takeout.“

“I’ve been eating at this restaurant for several years, and it has always been a great experience. The food is very tasty, well prepared, not greasy at all, and always cooked just right. You can really tell they are consistent with their quality, which is hard to find nowadays.

The owner is also very attentive and friendly, and she always makes you feel welcome. It’s a simple, reliable place with good food at a reasonable price. I definitely recommend it and will continue coming back.“

“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"“

“After spending all morning playing games at the next door Round1, this restaurant was a good spot to get a relatively inexpensive and filling meal. Luckily when we visited, they had a promotion for buy one get one 50% off for adult entrees. I also had some reward points saved up which I redeemed for $5 off and a froyo cone. Lunchtime was quite busy but the line moves relatively quickly. They have cute little carts for food trays so there's no awkward game of balance as you try to spot a free table. You can grab your own metal utensils (forks, knives, spoons) and peruse the cold offerings like dessert, sandwiches and salads before getting to the hot food area.

We got an order of classic Swedish meatballs and feeling adventurous also added on an order of their plant-based meatballs (which did not hold a candle against the classic Swedish meatball). IKEA members get a free hot coffee or drink so be sure to grab a white cup for this. Teabags were by the register and hot water was by the hot coffee dispensers. Glass cups are for the soft drinks.

8 meatballs is a good portion for one person (since the dish comes with mashed potatoes, gravy, lingonberry jam and peas). We shared 12 Swedish and 8 plant balls and left absolutely stuffed after clearing both plates. Also sampled a bit of all the soft drinks they had available and I liked sparkling pear and sparkling lemon (reminds me of Sprite...but healthy?) the best. Made myself a milk tea by adding a bit of half-and-half and a packet of sugar to my hot tea.“

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

“Kandahar Grill is truly one of the best places in New York for authentic Afghan food. The flavors are rich, fresh, and full of tradition. Every dish tastes homemade and prepared with love. The kebabs are perfectly grilled juicy and full of amazing spices. The rice is soft and fragrant and the portions are very generous the restaurant is clean, welcoming and the staff are very kind and respectful they make you feel like family from the moment you walk in the prices are also very reasonable,,,,
If you are looking for delicious halal food with real authentic taste, Kandahar Grill is definitely worth visiting. I highly recommend it 100% satisfied and HMS zabiah halal food“

“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!“

“Ordered 4 pizza pie's on Thanksgiving evening.
Order was ready in given time. Pineapple & jalapeno, Green pepper and hot pepper , cheese pizza , all are very good , well baked and tasteful only concern is about chicken tikka pizza . chicken tikka was very dried and has no taste.
Very busy at the time of pick up.
Good service“

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

“I had a great experience at this pizza restaurant. The pizza was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked.The staff was friendly and helpful❤️
Special thanks to Meenu , who works here. She was very polite, kind, and professional. Her customer service was excellent, and she made sure everything was perfect with our order. Her positive attitude really stood out.

I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back❤️“

“Update: Still a well recommended diner. Try the skillet, burger and eggs

Recently renovated. Went from a semi old school feel to a more modern, sleek, clean feel & look. The burger was good but it was dry and at times the bacon overpowered the whole burger. Sesame seed bun is a plus 👍Overall it would still be one of my go to diners.“

“Johnny help us at a 4am after work breakfast trip. We had a table of picky indecisive people and felt so taken care of that we had to leave a review. Johnny was the greatest guy honestly. So patient and attentive and absolutely so sweet. We're coming back specifically because of his exceptional service“

“In my numerous trips to Bagel Boss, I have found the counter people to be kind, nice & helpful. The bagels are huge & fresh. Some bagels seem to lack flavor but more then make up for it in size freshness. I find some customers to be a problem with their ridiculous expectations!“

“Delicious and quick service“

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

“We did catering order from Shah’s in Hicksville, Ammmmazing service they gave with food and discounts. The food was that good that I had to come back and get more. The whole staff was soooo friendly and helpful. Thank you Guys for everything“
