“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“I made my own bowl with green falafel and chicken shawarma. I was really pleased by the variety of toppings and sauces, as well as the options for Israeli couscous and/or greens for the base. My chicken was very flavorful, tender, and shredded perfectly. The falafel were a good size, very crispy, and well-balanced with herbs and garlic. I had hummus, very creamy, also well-balanced and tasting so fresh. The beets were sweet and tender. I also enjoyed the tender carrots and salty pickles. I highly recommend this affordable feast.“

“The all entire menu is great.“

“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!“

“There is a Halal Guys’ food cart in front of B building of LAGCC. I love their Hala flavor more than others.their chicken meats are juicy. Love it ! And also, I am a student of LAGCC, so I can get a free soda with platter. The guy who works there is always nice to us!“

“Arrived in Astoria late last night and stopped in here for a quick meal. Outstanding service by Mohammed and the others and the food was incredible. Check it out! Love the dining area way in the back! And the complimentary tea at the end was superb!“

“Yummy food my kids love it“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“interior was. ute, service was great and the food was amazing. they actually live up to the hype and it has now easily become a fave restaurant of mine! the mackerel toast was top tier and that’s coming from someone that doesn’t eat mackerel like that.

we also enjoyed the black miso cod a lot. it was very soft and had a nice smokey flavor when you’re taking a bite. highly recommend ordering it.

the hiramasa was also a favorite. the flavor profile was 10/10 but i wish they gave more slices of fish cause 4 pieces feels like JAIL. minimum should be 6 imo

we got the chicken and their striped bass special as well and while those are good i think they’re not MUST orders though still very delicious. my top 3 would be mackerel toast, hiramasa and the black cod“

“Food was delicious! Fresh and unique! Loved it all!“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“It was excellent experience! Food amazing, service even more amazing, cocktails 👌🏻.Lobster paste is one of the best, tartare, ousters- 👍🏻🤌🏻.We are already recommended this place to our friends. Definitely need to try and we are definitely will come back.“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“Really enjoyed the shashuka and challah bread. The shakshuka had fantastic flavor and was one of the best I've ever had.
I liked the falafel which comes on a bed of tahini. The falafel were not dry and had good flavor. The tzatziki was a bit salty.
They have full bar and limited beer on draft. Prices were fair for location and quality.
Prices were mezze items ($9 each), shakshuka ($21) and a beer ($9), this is fair pricing. Chill environment overall.
Service was good. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The design inside is very interesting. Bathroom was clean.
I would recommend and will be back.“

“This is gem of a restaurant in west harlem. Chicken with hummus is exceptional comes with huge tasty bread rating 4/5…,.,Lamb with rice is just okay 3/5..,,Potato veggies also 3/5

Adani chai 4/5.,,, black tea with cardamom and mint is good too.

Yemini rice is just okay, I believe Indian biryani is far superior!

Service is good here. For the high prices they charge surprise to see plastic plates and plastic utensils 😊

Fasha(spelling) is also one item our waiter recommended. Stew with meat, comes with huge bread.“

“Was strolling in the area when I noticed this joint bumping.

Loved the cocktail.
Lamb hummus, warm and scrumptious with prob the one of the best pita bread I’ve ever had.
Octopus skewers were cooked to perfection. Tender and flavourful
Snapper ceviche with a spicy twist.

I’m spoilt tonight.“

“Everything was great! The lamb chops are fantastic!“

“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙“

Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“Hands down the best Turkish food in NYC. The owner-operator, Mike, is always on-site, adding a personal touch that makes the experience feel both welcoming and elevated. The food is clean, healthy, and notably free of seed oils — a rare and refreshing standard. The chicken chops are excellent, the chicken shish is top-tier, and the mezze selection is absolutely fantastic. Every dish reflects real care and quality.“

“Delicious food, amazing staff, and a great venue.

Every single staff member here is amazing. Franck is a ROCKSTAR and made our meal lovely.

In terms of food, the dip sampler platter was so good and came with endless bread. Patatas bravas, salad verde, and beef kebabs were all perfectly seasoned. The cocktails we had (Neon Lights and Amaro Sour) were both delicious.

We also had a food allergy (dairy free) in our group and staff was fantastic with helping us order and flagging any sauces she needed to avoid.“

“I love Mediterranean food. When I went to Cinar, I was so impressed with the food and service. Absolutely authentic flavors, and the hummus and chicken kebab were bursting with flavors and lip-smacklingly delicious!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Arcadia this past weekend, and the experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We were greeted at the door by a sharply dressed gentleman in a beautiful suit, setting the tone for the evening. The foyer alone feels magical, and that sense of wonder carries throughout the entire restaurant — the atmosphere and energy are simply enchanting.

Arcadia is the perfect place to feel elegant and treat yourself. The food and service were both exceptional. Brian took wonderful care of us, and my wife had a sparkle in her eyes the whole night. The team made our anniversary feel truly special and treated us like celebrities.

I can’t recommend Arcadia highly enough — it’s an unforgettable experience in every way.“

“Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...“

“Hands down the best Persian restaurant in NYC. Forget Sofreh, you want real Persian food? Come to noosh. It’s a mom and pop shop with an amazing outdoor space, specialty cocktails and best part? Normal prices. Their Fasanjoon is out of this world. Literally the best I’ve had. Their sabzi is incredible, the Shiraz salad is as good as it gets with the freshest veggies and the koobideh kebab is amazing. What are you doing with your life if you haven’t been here?“

“Came here for $40 bottomless brunch on a Sunday morning at around 11:30. It was a divine experience all around. Incredible food, great atmosphere, quick and attentive service. I ordered the Mediterranean breakfast and my friend got the Mediterranean breakfast pizza both of which were delicious and we would order again. The bottomless brunch comes with 1 entree included and unlimited choice of mimosas, beer, sangria, and Bellini and I think it’s a good bang for your buck. We each got four mimosas in the 90 minutes the brunch lasts. We can’t wait to go again.“

“New York is a place that dazzles not only with its lights and contrasts but with its infinite ability to surprise you every time. Among its endless culinary options, this particular restaurant stands out for the exquisite balance of its dishes, each one perfectly aligned with the freshness of its ingredients and the vibrancy of its tasty composition. The flavours here seem to orbit within a delicate spectrum of taste, offering guests a sensory experience that feels both refined and alive. In a modest space, you'll find an unexpected gem of gastronomic artistry, a place that reminds you of the reason why New York remains a capital of culinary creativity. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a meal that delights not just the palate, but the spirit.“

“Love this place so much. Love their Mexican food a lot the tacos, quesadillas, and burritos just name it. Everything here is a straight ten outta ten so far even though I haven’t tried the Mediterranean food yet such as shawarmas and what not. But once again their Mexican food is so good especially if you want 100% halal definitely come here at “Fatimas Grill”.“
