“Abu Zayn’s crispy beef laffa was straight fire and the chicken one as well I prefer the red meat it’s perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside with that insane crunch on the outside. Honestly one of the best wraps I’ve had in a while. The portions hit, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes fresh. If you’re sleeping on this spot, you’re missing out easily a go-to when I’m craving something light Arab satisfying, and actually worth the money. Yea it’s pricey but worth it.“

“Honestly, the food here is great. My go to is Honey Chipotle Chicken. Every bite is enjoyable, the portion sizes are large (and cost effective) and the staff are all great to their customers. The small talk doesn't feel forced either.

There's no eating in anymore but honestly it's good that way and I'm all for the business interests so they can keep things running smoothly and I can keep coming back for years to come.“

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“

Dennis the chef made the calamari which were fresh and the sauce was perfect .he came out afterwards to make sure I was happy with my appetizer and that everything was to part . He was very accommodating.“

“Greek Cove Merrick’s lunch special is incredible. Ate the warm pita in the car on the way home! Grilled chicken with a salad and rice. One huge chicken cutlet over a generous portion of delicious rice and a tasty Greek salad- with a grape leaf and feta! I am a very picky eater but this chix was seasoned beautifully, so that if garlic, onion or rosemary(my triple threat) was used, it all blended together perfectly so that even I could not pick out the offensive spice. Amazingly, the yogurt sauce is also tasty( I hate yogurt sauce;usually throw it away). Forgot to tell them not to give it to me, so as not to waste it, but I’m glad I forgot! All of this, and a lot of smiling happy employees, for $12.99 cash. Wowza.“

“Great food! Will order again!“

“Didn’t know what to have for dinner on Good Friday-no meat. Greek Xpress didn’t disappoint. Ordered grape leaves, spinach pie, the family platter which consisted of plat based gyro, spinach pie, falafel and zucchini fritters and an order of grilled vegetables. Food is plentiful and tasty. We really enjoyed it.“

“Food is always fresh at any time of the day“

“I went to check out the new location in Levittown after they closed their spot in Mineola. The new place looks great—clean, spacious, and welcoming.

I ordered my food to go, and it was ready by the time I got there. Everything was hot, freshly made, and delicious. I got the chicken souvlaki with grilled veggies, and it came with a small Greek salad. The portions are generous, and you definitely get your money’s worth.

The lamb gyro was also really good—tender, well-seasoned, and stuffed with meat. They definitely don’t skimp. The staff was super friendly, service was quick, and pickup was easy. Definitely worth the trip.“

“I love this place 😊 Friendly“

“Hands down one of the best Gyros I have had. For sure the best in Nassau! I have tried a lot of different places, throughout the county, Abe’s definitely is the best, they stuff it with meat, just the right amount of toppings and sauce. Give it 10/10 for me highly recommend!“

“Tucked away in the corner of the lot and not that visible from the road but man they make some delicious halal food. We got platters, chicken nuggets and salad and it was all so damn delicious.

Their prices are very fair given the high quality if their food it's like restaurant grade in my opinion. They have a vast menu and something for everyone. Convenient parking lot right outside. Come and try them out you'll be glad you did.“

“Naya has been my go-to lunch meal at the Roosevelt Field mall. After a long walk around the mall for exercise, I order and eat a delicious, healthy, and filling bowl of goodness. The offerings are delicious Middle Eastern choices to pick from, creating your own special bowl. Fresh vegetables like Sumac onion, cucumber, jalapeno, cabbage slaw, tomatoes, and many other toppings. You can add hummus, red pepper hummus, Baba Ghannouj, cucumber yogurt to your salad. Top it off with Spicy Red Pepper Sauce, Lemon Tahini, Pomegranate Dressing, and/or pita crunch. They also offer Little Tabboule, grape leaves, cabbage slaw to name a few. Perhaps trying out their falafel, kibbe, fatayer, or rekakat. Everything is delicious, wholesome, nutritious, and very affordable at under $20.“
