“Such a surreal place in the best possible way - Food, service, design, and atmosphere all exceptional despite being an odd place inside JFK. Munaem was an excellent server. Thank you!”
“Fantastic food and friendly service! My family and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and had a wonderful experience. This place is a true local gem. The grocery section was an unexpected bonus! We'll definitely be back!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Clean, pleasant environment, generally acceptable healthy light fresh food (although more fresh fruit would be appreciated) and drink, reasonable seating variation for dining, relaxing and working travellers. Acceptable service and advice on when to proceed to departure gates. There are better lounges at other international airports (eg, Hong Kong) but there are also a lot worse.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Okay first of all Mashallah 😍. I was born in the generation of Halalbee’s. First off, I got my order quickly! The man I spoke with had a mask on, and the restaurant was perfectly COVID compliant. The food?! AMAZING. Perfectly priced for the quality of what you’re getting. Definitely have the Double Decker with the Maple Beef Bacon! The Panko Chicken Nuggets were crispy, and fresh. The Truffle Fries were seasoned beautifully! Easily one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time. Excellent portions! I’d love to shake the owner’s hand, but that will have to wait until social distancing is behind us! I’m definitely bringing all my friends, and recommending this spot to my coworkers! No food photo cause I legit inhaled my meal!”
“Amazing experience at Bora Bora! The smoothies and food were fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and treated me really well. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable a perfect place to enjoy something good to eat and drink.
I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! 🙌🥤🌴”
“Egusi soup with fresh pounded yam was amazing I will get different meal next time again, food is delicious tasty i recommend this restaurant Top notch service! Thank you so much .”
“You guys are the best, delicious food and beautiful presentation 👍👍☺️☺️😋😋”
“Let me start with the service was fast and attentive. I ordered steak with seafood (medium rare) and it came in an appropriate time served neatly with a few extras i didnt even notice on the menu. Cooked to perfection which I was happy about. Would love to come back to try all their steaks worth the visit. I went solo but definitely food atmosphere for a group of people. Full service bar even though I dont drink they had enough options to stop in just for a drink. Nice dessert menu to compliment your meal afterwards. Felt like a home away from home. Can't imagine going in and not ordering one of their steaks compliments to the chef!”

“My family and I have been coming here for the past few years and the food is always so excellent and amazing. We come here for the buffets on the weekends, which have a lot of delicious options for only $20. I want to specially mention Manni ji who always is so welcoming as well as the staff. We will always come back here!”
“The food was absolutely delicious and what makes it even better was the prices. The service could have been more welcoming when first entering but once the server was at the table to take our order she was quite attentive to our needs. Overall the experience was wonderful..”
“I’ve ordered delivery from this place on multiple occasions, and the experience has always been excellent. The food always arrives on time, hot, and exactly as ordered. It’s hard to find a spot that maintains such high and consistent quality with their delivery service. Highly recommended!”
“I had been here once years ago and remembered the food being tasty, so I decided to stop by again yesterday with an older friend who had a doctor’s appointment in the area.
I ordered the lunch special fried rice with shrimp and broccoli for $9, which also included a drink. There were more veggies included which I appreciate as it was plain fried rice usually doesn't include many veggies. My friend ordered the fried chicken with French fries for $10.50. I remember when that order used to be less than lunch special deals.
My friend said it was some of the best fried chicken she’s had from a Chinese restaurant in years. I tried some myself, and I have to agree—it was really tasty. My meal was also flavorful and satisfying.
Overall, we both enjoyed our meals and I would recommend. They only take cash according to the sign so be prepared to have cash.”
“I Was Stuck On A Bus For An Extra 30 Minutes After It Had To Detour Because Of An Accident Then Another Detour Because Of Construction On The Van Wyck Expressway. I Had To Go To The Bathroom And Catch A Connecting Long Island Bus. I Saw 2 Restaurants. I Went Inside La Playita. I Explained To The 2 Ladies Behind The Counter,I Just Had To Pee And I Would Purchase A Soda. I Thanked The Ladies And Caught My Long Island Bus.”
“I love their shrimp tacos 🌮. Friendly excellent customer service 🥰”
“The place is clean, the people are very nice and last but not least the food is affordable and DELICIOUS.😋 I like the fried fish sandwiches and the fried scallops. I discovered them while going to physical therapy across the street.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“If you're going to go here for the sandwiches go here after 10:00 p.m. there is a kid working there He's Spanish The only Spanish kid working there, he makes the best sandwich. And don't be afraid to make an order that is close to a specialty sandwich he will do it and it will be a good price.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are safe here during the morning but late afternoon into the night I wouldn't recommend it.
Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not wheelchair accessible.”
“This place was a godsend when I had a multi-hour layover in JFK after a long international flight early in the morning; it's very easy to get to by AirTrain and saves you from paying airport prices for the McDonald's breakfast menu when you're still on Asian time and in the mood for dinner - in fact it's cheaper than McDonalds' off-airport prices these days. The staff spoke English and were willing to explain what things were; I had a nice cup of coffee, some tasty empanadas and a fried croquette filled with minced shredded chicken and vegetables. It is a great choice for anybody that has a lengthy layover in JFK during a meal time, especially if you need to change terminals and leave the secured area anyway.”
“1/5/24 7:07pm.The woman making those cheeseburgers deluxe must have magic hands. I haven't taste a deluxe cheeseburger like that since early 2000s in the hood. I tasted everything on that burger, the cheese, onions. Mayo, ketchup, etc. And it was well done and juicy. She's a keeper.”
“Very special considering it's spacious, open to everybody, got wifi, ok coffee and snacks and nice atmosphere! Only place to sit and relax in terminal 5... Access from the street or when you get to 5 ground floor from the previous terminal, red door/elevator straight to TWA hotel red carpet hallway
Vegetarian options: Snacks/sandwiches/milk alternatives
Wheelchair accessibility: Full”
“Right across from queens hospital center Black Olive Deli & Cafe is the spot to go to for all types of food. They make sandwiches, smoothies and much more I got a chance to try there bagel cream cheese and bacon 🥯🥓 , and no pork that beef hits even better. The guys that work there are really dope and give the right service and even great company and conversion that are different.”
“Every dish I ordered during multiple visits was excellent. Bigan, pumpkin, katahar, Roti, bake and fine shrimp.”
“Service & taste. We (group of 12) served by Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta did a great job by carefully taking our orders with special requests. All went very well & we were all pleased with the overall experience of taste & the service we’ve received. Will definitely be back for the great food.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I absolutely love this sushi restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi or roll or both. The sushi and specialty rolls are always fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. One of the best things about this place is that the prices are very reasonable, especially considering how fresh the fish is and how generous the portions are. It's becoming harder to find a restaurant that offers both excellent quality and affordable prices, but this place does exactly that. What really makes this restaurant special, however, is the owner. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile and made to feel like family. The owner is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciates every customer. It's clear that they take pride not only in the food they serve but also in creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience for everyone who visits. If you're looking for delicious sushi, great value, and outstanding hospitality, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I always leave satisfied and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommended!”
“This the best Subway restaurants in Queens, NY. They build great sandwiches and do their best keeping the ingredients fresh!The staff great you as you arrive and after getting food there a few times they will remember you. The manager and staff are polite, pleasent and are excellent in serving the customers. They try their best to keep the eating area clean, but there are some very sloppy patrons that leave all their refuse on the tables, but the workers clear away quickly. I try my best to come here only for my sandwiches... Thank you for being wonderful☺🥰”
“Great service with a wonderful smile; I considered this place a unicorn based on my experiences with food service. I ordered a small stew chicken with white rice and got the portion size that was more than enough. The food was flavorful however the chicken texture was not very tender. I imagine that the cook may have pan seared it a little longer than usual, however I did smack my lips as I blended the sauce with the rice and the cabbage was done just right.
RyRy's location is within Jamaica Market on Jamaica Avenue, Queens. The atmosphere is bright and quite lively. So much colour and variety in the space. The janitorial staff does an excellent job keeping the place spotless, immediately cleaning up after you vacate the tables.
A very delightful and delicious experience, I will definitely be returning.”
“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!”
“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.”
“great selections and on Thursday Italian day can chose the pasta dish and and side order of seemed vegable and you mix together for awesome pasta Primavera.
or for friday special chose side of mashed potato with gravy and side of steamed vegetable. request big bowel and you mox together for a type of Shepard's pie. Excelent.”
“I had an amazing birthday celebration on Friday 03/13/26. The food is always superb. The music/DJ was rocking. The service was polite and on point. Felicia, the manager was hospitable, beautiful and extremely accommodating to our guest. And she did it all with that pretty smile. We loved the special effects of the bubbles during our birthday song. I pray for continued BLESSINGS over this establishment,and the CEO/owner. There is no doubt your business will multiply financially, and the recognition grows in and out of the community because of the service and professionalism. and of course because of the food and drinks. 🙏🏾❤️🥰✊🏾 With kindness Victoria, birthday celebrant”
“Maria’s Sans Rival cake lives up to the meaning of its name, undoubtedly unrivaled. It was made of sheets of chewy meringue loaded with crunchy cashew nuts, alternating with thick layers of “melt-in-your mouth” buttercream. Glad it was not too sweet that I was able to enjoy large servings of this delightful dessert. Great with coffee or tea.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Guac Time Mexican Grill provides an excellent modern twist on classic Mexican fast-food staples with a completely halal menu. The build-your-own bowls and burritos are packed with fresh ingredients, crisp toppings, and very generous portions of meat. The guacamole is remarkably smooth and flavorful, making it a highly recommended addition to whatever you order. The store layout is clean, bright, and casual, offering a highly satisfying option for a quick and wholesome dinner.”
“This place has the best halal Haitian beef patties. Super layered pastry beef and chicken. And the price is super good. Don’t eat in your car it will get super messy. They have fish patties too. They have other baked goods too but I’d say the Haitian meat patties are the star of the show. Super suggest beef. Not the chicken or fish”
“Service & taste. We (group of 12) served by Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta did a great job by carefully taking our orders with special requests. All went very well & we were all pleased with the overall experience of taste & the service we’ve received. Will definitely be back for the great food.”
“Absolutely delicious. Had the oxtail plate and added Mac n cheese. Will definitely be back. Great seasoning I forgot to add the jerk sauce.”
“Very welcoming environment with warm staffs and it feels like home! Affordable newly batched cooked food served in huge portion! Thank you for accommodating and entertaining us in our 3 days of stays in town! We are definitely coming back! :-)”

“Africana Restaurant offers a truly exceptional dining experience. The food is simply outstanding—rich in flavor, beautifully prepared, and authentically crafted. Every dish carries the warmth and comfort of a home-cooked meal, bringing genuine taste and tradition to the table.
The service is equally impressive: attentive, welcoming, and delivered with genuine hospitality that makes every guest feel valued.
A special mention goes to Madam Blessin, whose dedication, professionalism, and gracious presence elevate the entire experience. Her passion for excellence is evident in every detail, making Africana Restaurant a place that stands out not only for its remarkable cuisine but also for its heartfelt hospitality.
If you are looking for authentic Nigerian flavour, exceptional service, and a truly memorable dining experience, Africana Restaurant is a destination well worth visiting.”

“I just got back from a trip to NYC and my brother-in-law treated us to dinner from The Halal Guys in Midtown and I knew it would be good since it was the only food cart with a block-long line after midnight. In fact I liked it so much I wanted to see if I could get something similar nearby... and I found it! I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo and while it wasn't quite the same it was still very good. The only difference is it didn't come with the pita bread and the white sauce tasted a bit different, but not bad. It also has more veggies so more "crunch" but next time I'm going to ask to leave them off (I just don't like the crunch...). I'm very happy to have a local option at a good price and generous portions. Thank you Sam's.”
“This is hands down one of my favorite spots. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can truly taste the quality in their juices and smoothies.The vibe is always welcoming and positive. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about health and wellness.”
“Catered this weekend - Italian Chicken Cutlet Supreme was awesome. Fresh and delicious. Stuffed cherry peppers were a hit. Salads were amazing but Mediterranean salad was my favorite. Pecan ring with whipped cream was gone in minutes. Thank you Mark (and Milton) for a delicious afternoon remembering my dad with family.”
“Just had some of the best tacos from this local truck 🌮🔥 The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. You can tell the owner puts his heart into every order—working hard, staying friendly, and keeping everything running smoothly even during the rush.
It’s not just great food, it’s the dedication and hustle that make this place special. Definitely coming back and highly recommend everyone give it a try!”
“Sometimes it's worth going extra mile to get what you want. 144 Rockaway Deli has REAL bacon, and other things .But This store has some good smoothies had to grab some before I headed out. It's usually a line because everybody's trying to get their order.But definitely worth the wait. I'm definitely going back to get a smoothie”
“The food is good, biryani is spicy but good if you like spice. Kabob rolls are yum. Took stars off because they are cheap with the salad. I ordered biryani for myself and Haleem for my mom. She requested onions/ginger on the side for the Haleem which she got, but they refused to give me salad for the biryani. Said it’s inside the bag. There was no salad inside the bag. Stop being cheap over salad. I miss the old owner these new ones are kinda rude. I been going to this restaurant for like 15 years.”
“Amazing vibes, music, n drinks...great beautiful bartenders and community feel!”

“Chill local spot with a Latina/Hispanic vibe. Local DJ with high energy tunes on a Saturday night.. although not crowded be prepared for "Loud" music. Bartenders attentive and friendly with drinks reasonably priced. $5 regular Coronas.. although they have "Mini Coronas" too. $5 Chicken Empanadas was huge.. and tasty too.. Definitely a local crowd..”
“Earlier this morning..... My first experience at Door Restaurant in the borough of Queens.... OMG I tried the Traditional Jamaican Breakfast: Liver, Saltfish, Callaloo, provisions omg. Couldn't eat it all but I killed the Saltfish. Restaurant wasn't crowded. Good service.. I still have enough leftovers for a few more meals 😂😂😂😂 My friend enjoyed her jerk chicken with peas and rice.. 😋”

They have the best customer service, if you would like to stop off to have a drink Gemini’s the place to be , they will take care of you always . You are part of the Gemini family once you get here .”
“They have a bar the drinks are good loved the hospitality the people were real nice to me didn't expect such good treatment. I had to look twice to see if I was really in a Spanish restaurant. ??”
“I couldn't recommend this homemade tiffins service more highly! The food is so fresh and healthy, the dishes delicious and varied each week, and my husband and I always marvel at how great we feel after these meals -- nothing like our (beloved but) heavy Indian take-out in the neighborhood. Especially during quarantine, this has been a true godsend. The chef is so talented, and we love that it's a local family business. Plus amazing customer service, and it's completely customizable week to week, so zero commitment. Highly suggest!!”

He closed the restaurant down, brought us food AND changed the tire… jk that’s my brother in law but he did show up with the food 😭😂”
“This restaurant is my absolute favorite Bengali restaurant because truthfully all the dishes I tried were phenomenal, from the appetizers to the dessert the quality and tastes were outstanding. They have an extensive menu and the tastiest desserts!! Feels as fresh as the mishti or mithai from back home! my favorite is the Grilled Lamb Chops, the khala buna, kisuri, kebabs/ garlic naan, chicken walima roast and all the desserts. It’s difficult to pick one! Everything is so rich in flavor and tastes so authentic so you get exactly what you’re paying for but more. Servers are always efficient, happy and polite. One thing that stands this restaurant out from others is its ambience and aesthetic appearance. This is the perfect elegant spot for a family dinner, friend gathering or date night! Everyone needs to try it and you’ll realize how much it stands out. Your taste buds will thank you, trust me!!!!”

“Gourmet Deli Corporation is a reliable neighborhood fixture that is incredibly convenient for a fast stop at any time of the day. Their hot counter manages a great selection of breakfast rolls and classic grilled sandwiches that are assembled fresh to your liking. The convenience store layout is organized well, making it easy to grab drinks, snacks, or daily essentials on the run. The service is polite and fast, ensuring you can get in and out quickly during a busy morning commute.”

I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I’m not from around here. At first I was reluctant to stop as I am unfamiliar with the neighborhood. A parking space appeared as I was passing by so it was destined for me to enter. When I first walked in I was trying to play it cool because there was 3 people in line. I glanced at all of the different meats and sides. At first I was very intimated by the seasonings. I didn’t know if I would be able to handle all that and then some. As I was in line with strangers I got this sudden feeling like we were family all on the same mission, a mission of hunger and satisfaction. The guy in front of me ordered the ribs and when the server put that sauce on those ribs, I had never felt the feeling I felt inside at that exact moment. I had to have it. I also decided on the Mac and cheese and green beans and I got a water bottle. It was like $20. I rushed to my car to devour this and it did not disappoint and It hit on every level. Satisfaction was exceeded so much that I’m still thinking of it. The server was very professional and he knew what to say and how to say it, a real smooth operator. It came with a cornbread. I hope to come back soon. I had sauce all over my mouth and hands as I drove home. It didn’t even phase me, I just scored by ordering that rib dinner plate.”
“The food was a generous amount and tasty. The service was terrific and the atmosphere was busy. This establishment used to be worse than what I saw yesterday but the workers from the behind the registers to outside in the front where the customers dine were very efficient!”

“The portions for the Shmacon and Lox Bagel are decent BUT very filling. The shmear for the bagel looks thin but was more than enough for me!
The Iced Tiramisu Latte and Iced Chai Latte (both with oat milk) was great. The oatmilk substitute was honestly amazing cause it made the drinks creamier!
As for the brownie, we got lucky with a freshly baked brownie and it was soooo fudgy and cripsy as well. Super delish.”
“Not only is she a fantastic baker but Sherry has definitely driven herself to the top with the additional hot food orders. the quality of her food brings back childhood memories of home food. IMO it's not just a quick order. Sherry takes ownership & pride of every dish she puts out. Great work and great job.. sometimes in life we all need a little reminder of how well we do so keep up the good work! and no I don't get paid for this review 😆”
“I’ve always seen this place when on Jamaica Ave getting my hair braided but have never tried. However, I’m glad I did because it is absolutely delicious! Sometimes boneless wings can be tiny and dry but these were hot, obviously very fresh, and super saucy! 10x better than Wingstop!! Woman at the front counter was super nice too. Great for takeout.”
“The Connect Bar is an absolute gem in Downtown Jamaica, Queens! The craft cocktails are consistently excellent, and the upscale, intimate vibe makes it the perfect local spot to chill or catch up with friends. The service is always welcoming and the atmosphere is flawless. Highly recommend!”
“Cold Stone Creamery is such a great place for ice cream lovers! The ice cream is creamy, fresh, and delicious, with so many fun flavors and mix-ins to choose from. I really enjoyed watching them prepare the ice cream with all the toppings—it makes the experience even more special. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were generous. Definitely a wonderful spot for a sweet treat with family or friends. Highly recommended! 🍦🍨”
“Amazing server he was very sweet and welcoming the food was 10/10 I got mouth surgery and their chicken soup was great it tasted fresh and the quesadillas was equally delicious handmade tortilla green sauce was also very tasty the agua de Jamaica was refreshing 🙏🏼muchas gracias :)”
“Rock Island & Grill = Jamaican food heaven 🌟. I went in skeptical, left a believer. Jerk chicken was ON POINT—spicy, smoky, and so tender it fell off the bone. Oxtail was fall-apart amazing, cooked with love and served with rice & peas that hit like a warm hug. Grilled fish? Fresh catch, perfectly seasoned. 🔥
Only thing? Lines get long on weekends, but trust it’s worth it. If you’re craving authentic Jamaican with a laid-back vibe, Rock Island & Grill’s your spot.”
