“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!”

“We are so excited that this amazing Tibetan restaurant reopened in a new location after the original location burned down in February 2021. The support of the community helped make it possible for them to continue serving delicious food in Jackson Heights. It’s as good as we remember, and the staff members are so kind. Please support our favorite Tibetan restaurant if you have the chance. You won’t regret it! 🥰”

“A truly memorable dining experience thanks to the incredible momos. They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Every bite was packed with delicious filling and paired wonderfully with the house sauce. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE the gauc here. Its not chunky just the way I like it. They cook the meat so well it all comes together. Food comes nice and hot. This is probably the only place I eat guac at 😭.”

“Is this place an amazing Mexican joint, yes, do I wish I lived in New York so I could forget about this place find it again and have my taste buds blown off their …. Tuckus. Yes yes I do. Worth the stop. Empanadas so so good. Short ribs absolutely. Random menu item sure it’s gonna be amazing. Do it you won’t regret it.”
“This food truck serves some of the heartiest momo on the streets of Jackson Heights. We got 8 thick and meaty beef momo for $8 at Amdo Kitchen. The go-to sauces here are the red sauce and white sauce. The halal momo are complimented with a thicker, chewier dough than other momos - it takes me three bites to finish each one. Amdo Momo is a favorite for those looking for an authentic taste of Tibetan cuisine. Don't forget to ask for the side of radish!”
“Me and my boyfriend went out to eat here. Lately we have been trying new foods they offer like this yummy rice with beans and chicken. Chicken pieces were nice and big I loved it! With some of my favorite banana. They look kinda burned but honestly I don’t mind because it taste better. Around $14 for this so it’s a steal. It filled us both up”
“This deli is great and has a various selection of snacks and sandwiches. Took one star off because it said the sausage egg and cheese was 5 dollars on the poster but it was actually 7 dollars. But also the guy at the counter was chill and let me pay even though i didnt have enough money. I love going here whenever i want a snack”
“The best thing about this place is the cashier , i knew egyptians are nice but i didn’t expect them to be that nice, amazing friendly service
The pastrami sandwich with mustard on coco bread is from another world
The place is tight full of products we can barely move in the store”
“Ive gone to colombian bakeries and so far, this place has the best pan de Bono I have tried! Its so soft and perfect amount of cheese. I will say the empanadas didnt taste as fresh. The chocolate was really tasty. The waitress was also really nice, along with the atmosphere!”
“It’s very good and surprising cheap for being next to a large subway station.
Parking: Roosevelt Avenue is one of the most busy roads nearby. Jackson Heights is a very busy neighborhood. Good luck if you need to find parking.
Kid-friendliness: The place is kid friendly.
Wheelchair accessibility: The place is wheelchair accessible.”
“I'm going to give my opinion based on the taste of the food as I only make the delivery.. Now the flavour is excellent and this is my starting point for Middle Eastern food and Americans. It's perfectly worth a try... The reason why I gave 5is because I ordered a small amount of food and I received a large portion.”
“They don't serve food, hence the single star in that one. I'm a married man with kids so when I do go out it's gotta be good. I prefer things low key but memorable. The bartenders were both extremely friendly and even though I'm in hospitality and know from the food and beverage staff at my hotel that substitutions can sometimes be a pain, when I asked the man to add a bit of gin to one of their mocktails, he happily obliged. They also have a great, of small, list of great craft beers. Speaking of small, this bar is in the style of a speakeasy. It feels like a place that you're not supposed to find and that's part of its charm. You go upstairs. Find the light from inside peeking through the curtain and once inside there's a bar about six stools and maybe another 10 people can sit at the shadow tables and easy chairs at the back. Again, a feature not a bug. I had a German porter that the bartender described perfectly so I knew I could trust their recommendations. I'll be back, most likely on my birthday or after the weather changes, like around Thanksgiving. It's such a special experience that I wanna save it for the good conversations with close friends. The Irish pub or the sports bar will be the weekly place but Upstairs is for three friend I haven't seen in a while or that after dinner spot when the wife and I get some time and get to enjoy some Thai, Nepali or Indonesian food nearby then we take a short walk to a plane that makes us feel young and cool again.”

“This is one of my fave coffee shops in NYC! I lived all over Bedstuy & Bushwick & when I moved to JH I was on the hunt for a real Almond Croissant & americano. I finally found it here.
All the pastries are made downstairs. The spinach or guava empanadas & the espressos and cold brew are also top notch. We go here so much that we have gotten to know the owner!”
“Nossa que delícia! The buffet is full of fresh options with variety. Super healthy and flavorful food. They had mousse de Maracuja—my favorite!! The mandioca was nice and crispy. Just perfection. The farinha was delicious. Customer service was great and the place was so clean. I’ll be coming back to sit down soon. A hidden gem!! I feel like I’m back in Brazil!”

“Hombres is your go to spot when you hit Jackson heights! Bartenders are so nice, the crowd is great, they have karaoke, and they play Selena!
It’s def a great alternative to the other Jackson heights gay bars that are a little more clubby and crazy. I think Hombres is much more laid back. If you’re a gringo, it’s probably a good idea to come with Latin friends if you’ve never been to a fully Latin bar, just pointing that out for the people who have left bad reviews. Not every bar will cater to Caucasians and that’s ok! Latinos need their spaces and this one one of them.”
“I’ve been to Nepali Bhancha Ghar before, and this definitely won’t be my last visit. One thing I really loved this time was the buff momo. I hadn’t had good buff momo in such a long time, and these really hit the spot. It was honestly one of the highlights of my meal.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the duck sekuwa. I started regretting my order almost as soon as it arrived, and after trying it, I was even more disappointed. It was very dry, and I found several bones and some parts that were quite burnt. It seemed like it may have been cooked directly over a high flame rather than slowly over hot charcoal, which I think made a big difference. Sekuwa, to me, should be juicy, smoky, and well seasoned, but this was unfortunately quite dry and lacking in flavor.
What made it more disappointing was the price. I had spent about an hour and a half of my wages on this dish, so it honestly felt pretty bad to spend that much on something I didn't enjoy. I still tipped the servers because I know the preparation of the food isn't their responsibility.
Interestingly, after coming home and reading some of the other reviews, I noticed similar comments about the chicken sekuwa. One review described it as “really dry and barely having any flavor,” which was almost exactly my experience with the duck sekuwa as well.
I’m sharing this more as a suggestion than a complaint. I really like this place and would still come back for the momo and other Nepali dishes, but I genuinely think the sekuwa needs some attention. Either the preparation method could be changed significantly, or perhaps this particular dish should be reconsidered for the menu. With the right smoky, juicy, well-seasoned preparation, I think the sekuwa could be something really special.
Overall, I appreciate the restaurant and the food, and I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended — as a suggestion from someone who wants to enjoy and support the place again.”
“The food was absolutely, beyond amazing! Best burger i have ever had and the steak was like butter melting with every bite. I know it's a sea food place but the steaks are done right. Service was the anytime we needed anything and the world cup was playing so it's awesome. It's great and affordable for the area. Recommend for sure and thank you!”
“Every once in a while when I crave street meat that reminds me of the old days I’ll come to some of these kind of carts. Ordered chicken and rice about $8 for a pretty heavy platter. Overall seasoning was good, bed of yellow rice. Salad was very what ever.
Takes 5 minutes to make. Price is great. Atmosphere is messsyy if you know the area. The person making it is kind and to the point.”
“Fusca House is easily one of the best spots in Jackson Heights. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they actually care about quality — every bite hits. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and the taste never disappoints. The staff is friendly, the vibe is chill, and the food comes out fast. I’ve been here multiple times and it’s been consistent every single time, which is hard to find. If you’re in the area and want really good food, this place is a must.”
“Deliciosa la comida lo único que le hace falta un lugar donde la gente se siente a comer tranquilos 😌”

“We always come and get whole bag of Selroti when we visit NY. No other place makes sel like them. And if you have not had or know what Sel is it’s regarded as Nepali Dougnut but personally it’s something completely different. Chia and Sel combo is the best and this is the place to get.”
“There were several tables available at 1p on a Saturday. We were able to sit a party of 5 immediately. We ordered 1 plate of 8 delicious fried beef momo's. The momo's are on the bigger side and had lots of juice/soup in the bites. Be careful of temperature! It came with sauces to accompany it with.”
“Five star service all around. This facility is extremely clean and has delicious items such as smoothies, açai bowls, fruit bowls Lunch special such as chop cheese and breakfast sandwiches pizza salads it’s a one stop Shop. Not only To reserve delicious healthy items they also have exceptional customer service and go above and beyond for their clients. Thank you so much juice Garden for making this Neighborhood.”
“Longtime customer, over 15 years and this food is so consistent. The best shrimp egg foo young by far. I often order delivery and the food is always piping hot which I appreciate. Prices are always fair and I hope nothing but good things for the people here. They have fed me through many hard times.”
“AMAZING FOOD 👏 I KEEP COMING BACK!
Would recommend everyone in the area check this place out. The chef is very knowledgeable and considerate. There are vegetarian options on the menu.
Delivery is usually speedy! If there is a wait, please be patient and kind to the workers. They work very hard!”
“Tried Food Junction for the first time and honestly the food was really good. Everything tasted fresh and you can tell they cook it on the spot instead of just reheating food. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, the rice had a lot of flavor, and the fries were crispy too. The portions were good and the food came out hot and fresh.
What I liked most is that they have a little bit of everything. Pizza, burgers, platters, drinks, fries, and all kinds of food, so there’s something for everyone. Plus everything is halal which makes it even better. Definitely a spot worth trying if you want fresh food with good flavor and decent portions.”
“Nice atmosphere and friendly service, My daughter and had a good time. Food was delicious 😋”
“The best there IS in Queens‼️ excelllllllllent food, friendly service, room full of energy. Love this place.”

“Water jar should be at table. Buying water is not easy for Bangladeshi people. Restaurants in Manhattan they providing free water in big bottles. NYC supply water is world famous and safe. I don’t know the reasons water excludes from taste in this restaurant.i hope it will back again, thanks.”
“Having gotten Wendy's for over 5 years in this location, I have finally decided to try Sunday supper for breakfast.
Is the 20 dollar breakfast sandwich + potatoes good enough value to beat out Wendy's? For the quantity you can get at Wendy's, it's not even close.
The quality is more up to debate. The eggs are fresh and generous in the sandwich. The aiole is decent but a bit stingily applied. The english muffin isn't toasted (maybe that needs to be specified?) The bacon is acceptablely good.
The potatoes are fresh with some chives thrown in which I appreciate. They taste good and are probably a little healthier than the Wendy's fries.
Overall the sandwich is obviously not worth 20 outside the airport however it is healthier than Wendy's which is a selling point as it uses less processed ingredients and are less oil saturated.”

“Amazing place and amazing people :) Was with a big group of friends looking for somewhere to celebrate after a friend’s wedding and this was the perfect spot! Hosts were super accommodating, kind, and fun! Drinks were fantastic as were the momos. Definitely a spot to come back to!”
“Absolutely outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly and attentive service. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—every dish exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was modern, cozy, and perfect for enjoying a great meal with friends or family. Everything was clean, well-organized, and the overall experience was exceptional. I would definitely recommend Wonder Hoboken to anyone looking for amazing food and top-notch service. Looking forward to coming back soon!”
“Elements Pizzeria is a neighborhood pizza shop that stands out by focusing on naturally fermented sourdough pizza rather than traditional New York slices. The restaurant has a modern and welcoming atmosphere with an open, clean dining room that feels equally suited for a casual lunch, dinner with friends, or family outing. While pizza is the main attraction, the menu also includes Detroit-style pies, appetizers, salads, desserts, and a selection of drinks, giving you plenty of options beyond a standard slice shop.
The sourdough pizza is the biggest reason to visit. The naturally fermented dough develops a light, airy crust with a crisp exterior and slightly chewy interior that gives the pizza more depth of flavor than a typical crust. The toppings feel thoughtfully selected, with combinations like mushroom and ricotta alongside more traditional options, allowing both classic and specialty pizzas to stand out. If you are looking for something different, the Detroit-style pizza is also worth trying, offering a thicker, airy crust with crispy edges that contrasts nicely with the restaurant's round sourdough pies.
The menu goes beyond pizza with items like garlic knots, baked wings, salads, and desserts, making it easy to build a complete meal. I also liked that the restaurant serves freshly prepared coffee and a variety of beverages, so it feels more like a full-service restaurant than a grab-and-go pizzeria. The variety makes it easy to visit with a group since there are enough options for different tastes.
The atmosphere was one of the highlights during my visit. The space feels bright, clean, and inviting, and the staff were friendly throughout the experience. Elements also hosts pizza-making classes and private events, which adds another layer to the restaurant and makes it feel more connected to the local community rather than simply being a place to grab a meal.
The only thing to keep in mind is that specialty sourdough pizzas are priced a little higher than your average neighborhood pizzeria. While I felt the quality and preparation justified the price, it may not be the place if you are simply looking for the cheapest slice. During busy periods, pizzas can also take a little longer since they are made fresh to order.
Overall, Elements Pizzeria is a great choice if you are looking for pizza that goes beyond the traditional New York style. The naturally fermented sourdough crust, quality ingredients, welcoming atmosphere, and unique menu make it feel like more of a destination restaurant than a typical pizza shop. It is the kind of place I would return to when I want a thoughtfully made pizza rather than just a quick bite.”
“The bar setup appeared well thought out --you can tell the owners have put their heart and soul in making this place so vibrant. As tempting as the ambience is their menu. They have mastered the drinks at the bar while perfecting the dishes on the menu. Be it snacks or a full meal the chef works his magic --the taste took me back to Nepal. Service was outstanding! Will visit again.”
“Went for Dinner
The appetizer were great.
We had Waiwai sadheko it was very delicious
I would definitely recommend Chicken Shabale
Chicken momo on steam would be my favorite, it was juicy and achar was mitho.
However, bhutan was so so.
It wasn’t that good
Everything else was good experience!”
“This Place is Super amazing they have Top tier Crêpes I came out here after work me and some coworkers and we did
Not planned to have “crepes” but to be honest I ended up getting 3 delicious crepe w a some ice cream on top top tier I almost bite my finger how good it was “ No “exaggeration “ This a must try place !👍🏾✅💫”
“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.”
