“Sabry Restaurant is one of my favorite places! I’m a big fan of this restaurant. The food is delicious, and the staff are very professional, friendly, and welcoming. The place is always clean, and the food tastes amazing.
When you visit, ask for Yassir. He will take great care of you! His hospitality, along with the friendly staff, will make sure you receive the best treatment and have a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!“

“Had the falafel sandwich like many times as a vegan, but this was soooo good. Crispy outside, soft moist inside. Your choice of “salads”/pickled veggies to add into it. I had baba ghanoush, Julienne pickled carrots , and a cubed roasted eggplant, onion, and tomato. So flavorful without being overpowering w any one ingredient. Eddy makes everything homemade by hand. Everything! The falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, the pickles, the pita. Pita so good. Large thick and soft. My friends had a beef kabob sandwich and chicken plate. They said it was delicious.

“Family owned and delicious Mediterranean food. Friendly service.“

“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 stopped by Zaki’s Halal while looking for a place to eat, and I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely incredible fresh, flavorful, and one of the best halal meals I’ve had.
The owner was extremely kind and welcoming, and the young lady working there was also very professional, friendly, and helpful. Their customer service made the experience even better.
The restaurant was spotless, well-maintained, and had a warm, inviting atmosphere.
I highly recommend Zaki’s Halal to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious — the shawarma, grilled meats, rice, and salad were all fresh and full of flavor. Even the sweet pie/dessert was light and excellent.

But honestly, the best part was the service. A gentleman named Noor from Egypt took great care of us. He was very respectful, friendly, and extremely helpful the whole time. Employees like him really make people want to come back again. Highly recommend this place!“

“I loved the food there. This place is very nice with very kind people! The kabobs are tender. Something that was amazing was the Rice Pudding. The rice pudding was so good we ended up getting more. There menu is very versatile and they have so many options. This place is an excellent place to go. The people working there were also very kind and friendly and made us feel very welcome. It was a pleasant experience!“

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

“Best Falafel and Shawarma in the city! I usually order at the truck on Ditmars, and they routinely give free falafel to all those who wait for their food or to order. The portions are generous and the food is amazing. Sometimes if you go to the broadway location the service can be a bit slow, but it’s usually crowded when I go. Great place!“

“Friendly service, good food takes time to prepare but it's so worth the wait“

“All the food is so delicious. Customers service beyond belief & excellent options from carnivore to vegan. Can’t emphasize enough how awesome the staff is !!! If there’s a line— it’s worth it as heck!!!“

“Rothchilds never disappoints. We love all the food options, and drinks. The owner and staff couldn’t be more accommodating.“

“Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Can not wait to return!“

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“Picked up my first tgtg bag from here. It was very flavorful and could probably last me three meals. Makes me want to try their regular menu some day. They are also a grocery store and butcher in the back, and will definitely check those out next time.“

“Great lunch! Delicious, great price, large tasty portions great patio seating and friendly atmosphere. Thank you“

“My opinion is 8.3/10. Overall I did enjoy it for my first shashuka. $15 for hummus, 2 eggs and 2 pitas pockets. Overall fresh and enjoyable. Maybe wait was a tad long about 30 mins and maybe a little strong on tahini in the hummus. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“Food was delicious, the people and service was excellent. ❤️❤️❤️“

“i order from here often and their food is so good & it’s halal! everything i’ve eaten from here has tasted fresh & well seasoned. They close around 2 am and always add new stuff/combos to the menu. Just picked this up before they closed. They are also very nice & have always had great manners. Me & my dad go here all the time lol“

“One of my favorite halal spots in queens. Food and service is impeccable. Even though I got a salad platter they still threw in some rice so you won’t go hungry. Chicken and lamb are amazing. Perfect amount of char and still tender. They also usually give out a free sample of falafel which is cooked and seasoned perfectly. They also cook it in an oval shape so it’s a bit more crispy as opposed to the circle ones. Must try and always get extra white sauce and hot sauce. Food is hot, fresh and comes out quickly“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“my first time there. the merguez sandwich is so delicious. OMG so yummy 😋 great service. 🇩🇿🇲🇦 my new destination in steinway.“

“Very classy place to conduct a business dinner and the food is great and plentiful. I had a business dinner meeting here and was 100 percent happy with the surroundings as well as the service and food. The sushi was first class as were the specialties“

“אוכל טוב אושפלוב טעים ובשר אכותי.“

“This place is such a gem! Used to live super close but now it’s a little bit of a trek but absolutely worth it. I have tried most of the menu and everything is always great and fresh. During this visit I opted for the combination pita sandwich (shawarma and falafel). I also highly recommend the spinach pie, lentil soup and Jerusalem falafel sandwich (a vegetarian option stuffed with all kinds of delicious goodies). Owner is warm and friendly, always makes us feel so welcome. Prices are great! Only drawback is there isn’t too much seating but when the weather is nice there are a few tables outside (pict so you can see). Highly, highly recommend!“

“Delicious, fresh chicken and lamb, perfectly seasoned and cooked, and served with a smile. Quality of the meats is above the usual cart fare, and it makes a big difference. We eat a LOT of halal cart food, and Abdul offers some of the best we’ve had. If you’re in the area (or flying out of JFK and have some extra time), it’s worth a small detour.“

“I’ve known Queen since they first opened at HoY - the falafel and everything else is still reliably great and delicious.

I also love how calm this place is; it’s cute without being pretentious and this one of the very places I can sit and catch up with friends without having to scream at each other.

Pls don’t change!“

“Came during rush hour, I can't be judgemental about my server, he was catering to many guests and showed his efforts. Food was delicious, would recommend and revisit. The atmosphere was relaxing and music was at the right level so that guest don't fight to hear each other“

“I have visited Aden multiple times and have always enjoyed my experiences. Delicious Yemeni food, likely the best in Queens, whether sit down, take-out, or from their street grill, coupled with the friendly service will keep me and my family coming back. Take the poor reviews of this business and set them aside as merely bad judgment on the reviewer's. This is not a fast food restaurant! Expect to wait a little, but you will be satisfied.Their Steinway Halal cart outside offers half chicken and kabobs over rice. Delicious!“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love love love this place, I have been going here for almost 20 years. Ali is a gem ❤️“

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

“The best in the world 🔥🤤😋❤️❤️❤️“

“We ordered the Mix Grill for 2 entree. There was a slight hiccup with our order but the manager made sure to make everything right, and we were very happy with the service. The food was not bad, I would go more for the meat than for the chicken.“

“Fabulousness A must place to go“

“Food is amazing but they charge more about $5-10 extra if you are not one of those who speak their native language.
I had this experience more than 20 times. I can't understand why they treat non Arab people different. So be careful. Otherwise food is 5 star and service is awful.“

“*4/5 stars — Great hall and food, one staffing issue*

We held our event at this hall and overall it was a really nice experience. The venue is clean, well-decorated, and has a great layout for guests. The food was a standout — fresh, hot, and flavorful. Everyone at our table commented on how good it was.

The only issue we ran into was with one of the volunteer staff members. Instead of serving, he sat down and ate with the guests. He also cleared plates and removed food from the table while people were still eating. It was awkward and threw off the flow of the meal a bit.

Outside of that, the rest of the team was attentive and the manager was responsive when we mentioned it. For the quality of the hall and food, I’d still recommend booking here. Hopefully they address the volunteer training so guests can finish their meals in peace.

*Pros:* Beautiful hall, excellent food, good value
*Cons:* Volunteer staff behavior — clearing food too early, eating with guests

Would book again, and I hope they sort out the staffing detail because everything else was top-notch.“

“We just enjoy their family meal which was not only a great value but delicious! The food here is always great and the staff is friendly. A great neighborhood gem!“

“Chicken and rice is beautiful, best I’ve tried in Brooklyn. They improved a lot since I was in town a year ago. The marinated chicken is very tasty, I think they use tomato, and the chicken is very well cooked, not greasy or anything. It is a little spicy tho, but the rest of the food balances it out. Rice cooked perfect as well. I remember last year I came here the rice was dry.“

“This spot is Legit, new owners are welcoming and friendly. Celebrated a Friend’s birthday and all the staff was very attentive. They even decorated the booth with a Happy birthday sign and some flowers. They have beer buckets, cocktails, and different selection of beer . We had Chicken mofongo as appetizers, just a quick bite . The nachos were complimentary for the tables/ booth. I really enjoyed the hooka “Love”, kitchen closes at 1am . Also, they have a Dj every night , will definitely come back !!“

“Taste Choice Shawarma is one of those places that just does it right. The rice platters are the best thing to order—flavorful, filling, and consistently on point. If you’re not getting a platter, at least grab the kebab platter or get the kebabs on the side because they’re a must-have.
The sandwiches are great too, packed well and full of flavor. Food overall is amazing, and the service is top-tier—super friendly, and sometimes they’ll even let you keep a bottle of sauce at the table so you can go crazy with it if you’re dining in.
Reliable, generous, and easy to love. One of my go-to spots.“

“The chicken was hot and fresh“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“It was all amazing. The bread was warmed up and amazing in the restaurant. The chicken was juicy and fresh. The fries were well seasoned. Our waitress was amazing. The samsa tasted more gogegoja but still fresh and delicious, it came with a spicy sauce. The lamb and liver was great as well like usual. They also gave olive oil for the meal. They also had fresh sushi being made in the front. I love coming here and will be come again.“

“Our favorite bodega in the neighborhood! Wonderful people who are always friendly and personable! Fair prices for everything and sandwiches are amazing!Update: no longer owned by the same family and is vastly different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5“

“I had an amazing experience at STIX in Queens. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the entire staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Everyone was so attentive and professional, which made the whole experience even better.

A special thank you to the front desk receptionist — such an unbelievably sweet and lovely girl. Her warm smile, positive energy, and genuine kindness made us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. It’s rare to meet someone so naturally caring and friendly.

You can really tell that this restaurant values hospitality and customer service at the highest level. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had in Queens. Highly recommended, and I’ll absolutely be coming back again!“

“I was there last night and I was giving the cashier a hard time because I didn’t know what I wanted to try because it was my first time. Derricka was very kind by recommending the loaded fries and the sauce to use. I don’t regret eating such tasteful meal. It was fire halhal bros rosedale at all times. If you haven’t tried it this is your go ahead. Fresh and taste food. Customer service 5🎖️“

“The fried rice is a must try. They also have nice chicken ball and sour.“
