“Amazing, nuanced, fresh and delicious food every time. Can’t wait for the Brussels sprout salad to come back.”
“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday here and it was fantastic! The food was delicious and perfectly spicy just as requested. The Chicken lal pari was tender and well-marinated, and the Chicken Parda Biryani served in the traditional clay pot was a highlight—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Red Chilli Special Mix Grill. All dishes were absolutely delicious. The presentation, with the floral garnishes and elegant table setting, added such a nice touch to the meal.
Special thanks to Anuj, Dominic, Harsh, and Fahim for their incredible hospitality. They truly went above and beyond to make our celebration extra special. Thank you so much. Highly recommend for any occasion!”

“Both excellent food, and service. Highly recommended! Attentive service by Adnan.”
“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!”

“I love this sushi place, best sushi in queens for such amazing quality and price. I love their salmon combo it’s the PERFECT amount of sushi, our top sushi spot for a Friday night in. Just please stop forgetting to throw the spicy mayo in the bag! (They did refund for it so it’s ok)”
““Absolutely delicious! The Yum Sam Krob was packed with flavor — crispy, spicy, tangy, and perfectly balanced. Every bite had amazing texture from the crispy pork skin, cashews, and fresh herbs.
The grilled liver and grilled gizzard were cooked perfectly — smoky, tender, and full of authentic Thai flavor. Paired with the spicy dipping sauce, it was seriously addictive.
One of the best Thai comfort meals I’ve had in NYC. Highly recommended!” 😋🔥”

“This place is amazing. The food is delicious, and the drinks are expertly crafted. My favorite bartender is Yuly. She is a fabulous bartender and host. The vibe is always great there for dancing and having a terrific time. We love the atmosphere there and enjoy Karaoke. Yuly always takes good care of my group and we go there often. Keep up the good work Yuly!”
“Very small Pizza Parlor with good pizza. They also have some other things on the menu. Their Tiramisu is extremely small, especially for $6. The service is good and the price for the Large Pie (8 slices) is reasonable. The place is good for pick up or for getting delivery. Too small for anything else”
“I had a beautiful lunch there today. The best part of the whole experience was the service. I was given the royal treatment. Carlos and John Paul, both spent so much time trying to help me choose the right option. So I could have a typical Uruguay and experience. They were both so kind friendly and helpful. Very grateful for their love and care.”

“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”
“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.”
“First time here, got to try the carne asada tacos and carnitas chalupas, they were great! Juicy and tender. Our only issue was when we arrived there wasn’t any music playing for a while and out of nowhere loud music started playing which threw us off as we were sitting by a speaker. Will probably do take out moving forward because these tacos are definitely seeing me again.”

“Came here for some authentic Bengali food. Loved the food here. Everyone was very hospitable. The food was very expensive for what you get. Pricing is a little ambiguous since there’s no upfront prices once you walk in and if you order the food on the display. We paid over a $100 for everything on the picture but taste was good.”
“After watching a reel on Instagram, I decided to visit this place. The highlight of my experience was the auntie who always greets customers with a smile, showing kindness and taking great care of them. Their top dish is the Momo. I tried the chicken steamed Momo and chicken Chow Mein. The Momo was delicious, but while I enjoyed the Chow Mein, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The place has a great vibe.”

“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!”
“Had the best empanadas ever from this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The space is very cute and the food was so amazing. The music was great too. I had a guava con queso and a mechada platano yesterday queso blanco. Everything was so delicious. I will be back for more. I love Venezuela 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪”

“My name is Bijaya KC, and I live in California. While visiting New York, I had the chance to try the food here, and it was honestly one of the best Nepali meals I have had in the United States.
Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of authentic flavor. The dal, rice, vegetables, pickles, and meat dishes were all prepared perfectly. The flavors were balanced, comforting, and reminded me of meals back home in Nepal. You can tell that the food is made with care and attention to quality.
What I liked most was that the food did not feel like typical restaurant food. It felt like a home-cooked meal made by family. Every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and served in generous portions. The homemade pickles and traditional Nepali flavors really stood out and made the meal memorable.
I have tried Nepali food at many places across the U.S., but this experience was special. It brought back memories of home and gave me a sense of comfort that is hard to find when you are far away from your country.
If you are looking for authentic Nepali food in New York, I highly recommend this place. The quality, taste, freshness, and overall experience were excellent. I would definitely come back again the next time I am in New York.
Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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.”
“We originally ordered this place for take out and ended up choosing to eat inside instead of what a great decision. Everything about this place is perfect, the food, the decor, the music. I love it when places have relaxing music in the background so you feel relaxed while eating not always turned up. Service is great and the food is so delicious. Highly recommend”
“Quick easy and good Tamales! My wife only likes Beef but these corn Tamales did the trick!

“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.”
“I got the chicken wings, fried rice and steamed shrimp dumplings the first time and now that’s my go-to order. Service is not slow, but not super fast. But it’s worth it for the quality. I wish they gave me a little more duck sauce when I got my wings the second time I ordered from here, but in general, no complaints. A little pricey, but what isn’t? 5 stars.”
“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.”
“This is our favorite local spot for legit Mexican dishes. All of the staff at this family. owned business are always so lovely. The restaurant has been open since around 2011. And it’s no surprise. The food is delicious, and the ambience is very comfortable. You feel like you’re at home. My mother, a very good cook, always told me that making food taste good is easy. You just prepare it with love. Que Rico is definitely following this approach. The tacos and quesadillas are my favorite things to order (al pastor/carnitas are my go to). I also love their fresh jamaica juice. They are equally great for takeout, delivery or dine in. Support local business businesses!”
“What an awesome meal! We ordered two arepas, both GF, and maduros. Beautiful space. Impeccable service. They gave us a choclo with cheese and an aperitif on the house. We’ll be back.”

“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.”

“Honestly didn’t have high expectations for an airport meal. However, I throughly enjoyed my penne alla vodka. It took a little while to make, although you can tell they took their time to make it right. From a fellow chefs perspective the basil was a perfect chiffonade cut. No complaints here!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Excellent service and consistently amazing food
Aama’s Kitchen continues to be one of my favorite places in town. The food is consistently outstanding—flavorful, authentic, and truly memorable every single time. I’ve visited many times, and the taste has never disappointed. The Thakali set is especially a must-try and highly recommended.
What really stood out during my recent visit was the professionalism of the staff. Special thanks to Meena, Samy, and Gaurav for their warm, respectful, and attentive service. They were genuinely humble and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout our visit.
Compared to an earlier experience, the service now feels much more professional and welcoming, which made a big difference. It’s clear that the team understands customer comfort and hospitality very well.
I also noticed some negative reviews while writing this, which I personally find surprising. Given how popular this place is and how many regular customers it has—including myself—it’s no wonder Aama’s Kitchen is always busy. For anyone who enjoys great food and good service, this place speaks for itself.
Highly recommended!”
“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 !👍🏾✅💫”
“La Nueva Bakery is an amazing place. The bakery items are delicious, always fresh, and full of flavor. Their cakes are beautiful and well made — each one feels unique and carefully crafted. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff that make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The space itself is cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying a coffee and something sweet. I especially love coming here for their classic Colombian and Uruguayan bakery, which is hard to find and always so well done. Highly recommended — it’s definitely a place you’ll want to visit again.”
“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.”
