“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!”

“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”

“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”
“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”
“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.”

“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.”

“My sister and I went to this establishment on Tuesday, June 30th, 2026 at around 4:30pm.
We were seated immediately and served water. Which we were so grateful for because it was very hot out.
We decided to get 2 lobster and shrimp seafood boils. They were amazing, as was the garlic sauce. The potion size was a lot for the price!
Our server was great and resourceful.
The bathrooms were very clean.
The atmosphere was great!
We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Over and beyond! The dishes meet standards, the atmosphere creates mood and the service meets needs. The workers are notably polite and welcoming as well. The taste experience satisfies, staff helps appropriately, and quality remains evident. Simply stated, this place has my heart, and it'll capture yours.”
“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.”
“Excelente servicio y comida . En pocas palabras una experiencia distinta”
“The food was actually really good, the staff was good, the food came out in like 5 minutes and was hot and delicious. The only complaint is that the mango mojito i ordered tasted meh. Aside from that it was good”

“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.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
“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!”

“It was a wonderful experience..the food was 100 out of 10, service was 1000 out 10. There is a short guy at the counter who always greet his customer with a lovely smile. Not only that he was very helpful to choose what should i eat.and his recommendation was great also the food was very fresh…love the place..highly recommended..”
“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.”
