“Only one word, EXCELENT . We really appreciated that they open a site in our neighborhood , the food is great, the price is accesible and the manner of the employers is really out of question so good.“

“I got chicken over rice for $12 hands down best deal I’ve had in all of NYC as a foodie. It was my first time experiencing halal food so I asked bunch of questions to the guys at the line and they were very chill; they described all the toppings that I pointed to and gave me a GENEROUS PORTION. Chicken was well seasoned and tender, rice was also seasoned and chickpeas and hummus were decently fresh; everything tasted good even on the next day. This fed me for easily two days! It was truly amazing that I can get chicken,rice,fries(shocking for me) and veggie of choice for only $12 was so impressive. I’m definitely going back.“

“10/10 fresh nuggets that surprisingly actually tastes like chicken. 11/10 chicken burger it was one of the best that I tasted. 8/10 fries nacho, some of the tiny chicken pieces were a hard but the sauce and fries went well. Overall 9/10 must try again, definitely recommend👍 you have many deals to choose from“

“The halal combo here is up there with some of the best halal carts in the city. It’s my go-to option here in East Harlem (as well as their chicken loaded fries). They recently went through some renovations/branding changes so the atmosphere here is nice. The staff are also very friendly.“

“Only the best Chicken Shop in NYC 🥰“

“Vegan, vegetarian, plant based burgers, chopped cheese, and hot dogs right by Central Park? Sign me up!

The food was great, we finished the hot dog so quickly, that I didn’t grab a pic of it.

Definitely going back, only thing to note is there are no bathrooms. So wash your hands & go pee before you get there!“

“very tasty. great price. great staff.“

“Best experience love there biscuits and their chicken. Especially the 4 for 5.99 3pcs chicken (Thigh or leg) 1 biscuit can’t go wrong with that. Must try the loaded fries with cheese and bacon bites and jalapeño best thing when you are baked. Great customer service I’ve received from employees and employee Adnan always been great, every time I come in. And their desert cakes gots to try.“

“The fried chicken is awesome. One of the best I've had. I really craved for fried chicken after the damn snow. It was so satisfying and made all of our bellys super happy. The chicken was still crunchy and hot by the time I got home. It's made fresh! Literally. I got snowy cheese which is my favorite, honey soy and original. Both really good! We also got the onion rings and tobokki. The sides of corn and radish was addicting. The gentleman working there was so nice and diligent. He saw I had placed two of the same orders and called me back to confirm if it was correct. I explained to him my neighbor also wanted some so I had to place another order. Lol. Must try. Will be my go to place now!!! Glad I found a gem!“

“This burger spot is a hidden gem on Northern Boulevard. VERY affordable burger (smash burger and chicken sandwich were $5) and the quality is top notch - great quality beef and well-seasoned chicken. The man who owns it was extremely courteous and respectful, which made this hole-in-the-wall experience exceptional. I'd 110% recommend going here!“

“I have been a loyal customer of k street food since they opened. I would have given them 5 stars, however lately I noticed changes to certain dishes I am accustomed to purchasing. The food here was always fresh and tasty. I sure hope Mr. and Mrs. Moon ,( owners/ read these reviews, since they're no longer working here. The dish Japchae ( sweet potatoe glass noodle) was a great dish that I always ordered with grilled chicken. It was very tasty with it's own vegetables in the mix. The grilled chicken was always fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, I ordered this same dish and it only has a few slices of red pepper , a few greens. It tasted mostly like a Sriracha noodle. The chicken is not the same. It tasted strange. For one, it isn't the same white meat grilled chicken and even if it's dark meat, the issue was the taste. I'm truly dissatisfied. Please don't change the original dishes that made us fall in love with your establishment. Looking forward to your progress. Namaste 🌻“

“I went there with my bf and he said it was pretty good a year ago when he tried it so we tried it together this year. I didn't know what to expect, but the person at front was very nice! And it only took 15 minutes to cook which was a really reasonable time. When the food came it looked amazing and tastes amazing too! It was super affordable and it's very filling as well!“

“I've been here once, and got the double classic smack.

Was delicious: simple, hot, and greasy. A good amount of meat for a low price these days, and came out fast.

The place is clean and bright, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Will be back soon!

Edit: have been back many times since, I stand by first impression!“

“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“

“Everything is seasoned to perfection here! Easily one of the best burgers (vegan or non) that I’ve had in awhile. Honestly, the only reason I remembered I wasn’t eating real meat was that I didn’t get my usual stomach ache or feel the heaviness of a greasy beef burger. Also the nugs are perfectly seasoned! I’ll be back this week for round 2!“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

“The best of the best 🙌🏻 I definitely recommend everyone to come check this place out 🔥“

“My Step-Son turned me on to this and we would go to New Paltz. It shocked me how good it was!! Been hooked since!! I was over the ‘Moon’ when Poughkeepsie opened! I am betting they will grow and grow!!“

“Food is always great but its been about 7 times that I have went and the fried chicken has run out, and it takes 15-20 minutes for it to cook. I feel like they need to better manage the timing. Once they see that the chicken on display is half gone, they should already start frying a new batch instead of waiting for the last min where there's less than 10 pieces for them to now start frying the new batch. Also they have a limit on breast they fried in each batch. So if the few pieces are gone, you will now have to wait for the new batch to fry and that can take over 45 mins, especially if they are not ready to fry a batch. Other than that, the food is great and the staff are also very friendly.“

“great location. perfect size. food is on point 💥💯🇪🇨 great portions and I jave never been disappointed! com on Come All!“

“This place is amazing the food is delicious and fresh, piping hot and so savory. Usually the pita bread is bland in other places but THIS place, ALL or their food was spectacular. The owners where so kind and proud of their business it was amazing. 100/10!“

“Nashville Hot Chicken over rice n it was Delicious delicious delicious... I definitely ordered two days back to back.
The chicken is crisp n season to perfection, just the right amount of bite with every fork full.

I got a free sample of a icecream that tasted like ICECREAM made w the richest milk n then they sprinkled some fruity pebbles.“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“This is my fist time having Raising Cane’s in NYC and wow, this was very delicious. The food tasted very fresh. There’s plenty of seating and I went around noon - prepare for long lines. The service is great and they’re constantly tidying up. I highly recommend for a quick pit stop. Don’t buy KFC or Popeyes.“

“Went here after seeing rave reviews online and was not disappointed! My friends and I absolutely loved the truffle fries, cheesy bacon fries, cheeseburgers, and crispy chicken sandwich! Food was outstanding and customer service was exceptional!“

“Very nice Popeye's“

“I stopped by this Kennedy on a whim and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the place smelled amazing,! Crispy, savory, and just the right amount of spice in the air. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making great recommendations and making sure my order was just right.

Now let’s talk about the chicken! WOW. Perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. You can tell it’s made fresh to order, and the seasoning is out of this world. I also tried their sides and was blown away by how good everything tasted.

This is hands-down some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in a long time. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, don’t miss out on this gem. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I recently visited **Shah’s Halal in Elmont**, and I have to say, this location truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt spacious, clean, and very welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable dining in, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with family or friends. The availability of **free parking** is another huge plus, especially in an area where parking can sometimes be a challenge.

Now, the food—absolutely delicious. Everything I tried was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The **wings were the highlight** for me. They were mouthwatering, tender, and came in a variety of flavors that really stood out. You can tell they put effort into seasoning and preparation rather than just serving something basic. The platters and sandwiches were also well‑portioned, satisfying, and reasonably priced, which makes the whole experience even better.

The staff deserves special mention. The employees were extremely **friendly, polite, and helpful** throughout my visit. They greeted customers warmly, answered questions with patience, and made sure orders were prepared quickly and accurately. The **service was fast**, but never rushed, and the positive attitude of the team added to the overall experience.

Overall, Shah’s Halal Elmont delivers on taste, service, cleanliness, and value. It’s a spot I would happily return to and recommend to anyone looking for delicious halal food with great customer service. A truly enjoyable experience from start to finish.“

“I had the hainanese chicken with liver over gingered rice, really well executed and super delicious. Absolutely loved the taro in coconut milk too , not too sweet, lands all the flavors I wanted in taro. Service was speedy and attentive, I highly recommend this place.“

“Tasty halal food just a few steps away from the hotels near Queensbridge 21 street. It's delicious, clean, and a fantastic deal. The gentleman cooking the food is super nice. I highly recommend it. I was really craving that halal food. The chicken is well-seasoned, the rice is cooked just right, and the fresh sides like salad and onions are great. Definitely recommend it. You get a ton of food for around $10. Thank you!!!!!

Well lite truck. Stainless steel clean preparation area. NY has a score system for cleaniness in food establishment. Al Hanna Halal Food has a A rating. Go check him out.“

“Taco Bell is always a solid choice! The food is flavorful, affordable, and there’s so much variety on the menu that there’s something for everyone. The Crunchwraps, tacos, and burritos are consistently tasty, and I love how easy it is to customize orders. Service is amazing and usually quick, even during busy hours, which makes it perfect for a fast meal. Highly recommend! 🌮“

“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!“

“Ivan served me at 818 3rd Ave. He took great pride in making my sandwich. He was also very polite, friendly and professional. I had to tip him. If you want great service visit the Subway at this location and I pray Ivan be the one to serve you.“

“Absolutely loved everything I ordered. Quick and tasty!“

“Awesome service and delicious food. definitely 5 star Deli“

“My favorite is the tofu bowl. Tofu is usually a hit or miss for me but this is one of the few places they do it soo well!! I've had the other bowls as well which are good too but the tofu is always the best.

The portions are too large for one person tho. While I've noticed them lowering portions sizes theyve been amping prices up which makes me sad cus this is truly a go to treat for me as a college student (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠). Maybe diff size bowls?

Finally I REALLY feel the amount of fats and oils I eat here (smth I usually don't feel that hard when eating out) which is y I don't go too often.“

“My favorite burger 🍔 nowadays“

“From food service atmosphere was phenomenal. I was shocked to be quite honest how amazing these employees are love the fact that they have fresh flowers. It gives a personal warmth and comfortability look. The best fast food restaurant I’ve ever been to. The service was above and beyond customer service was outstanding.“

“As a former Chipotle worker, I can say this is so much better than Chipotle and genuinely so flavorful and delicious. The chicken was super tender and seasoned well. I got a few toppings and it paired well. The spicy mayo perfectly complimented the dish.“

“Mmmm 🤪Good..............🤨“

“Love this place tasty food“

“great food and great service“
