Restaurants near Malverne

“Saturday night and we wanted to have something good and different to eat. Google helped to make it ! A great experience ( the service was great) and delicious food ( steak sandwich SUPERBLY DELICIOUS and the chicken one on the second place! But when a dessert time comes it was from another planet!! The most tasty and amazingly delicious handmade vanilla bean ice cream (the one with coconut and some kind of liquor) was the cherry on top of the night. 100 % recommended restaurant”

“I ordered the greek wedding cookies and they were absolutely delicious. Growing up in Astoria, I had access to the best Greek/Mediterranean food, and these surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to go back and try all the other items offered. Great spot and location.”

“The staff upfront is so nice. She politely answered all my questions and helped me understand the menu. I ordered the coconut smoothie and the coconut mango milk. The coconut smoothie is so light and refreshing for the heat, definitely good for someone who doesn’t like super sugary drinks. The coconut mango milk is so delicious and you get to choose the sweetness. I also ordered the general tsp bento box and it came with a lot of stuff. Good portion sizing I really liked everything I ordered. Also when ordering the food they let you put an allergy which is super accommodating. I will be back.”

“Best family owned and operated restaurant, hands-down. The food and quality of this place is exceptional not to mention the family dynamic of father and son. The atmosphere of this place is beautiful. Ask for Bart”

“Friendly staff and good drinks”

“I don’t think there is anything that I don’t love here. Beautiful, fresh, delicious pastries is all you will find here. The staff is always friendly and ready to help no matter how busy they are, and busy they are especially during the holidays. I’ve been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else.”

“The nicest staff you ever will meet . Real neighborly feel whether you live in area or travel a half hour like I do . Great value for the many of us on a budget . Much cheaper night out than a night at the Diner and a lot more fun”

“Amazing ice cream and amazing workers and owners!!! Definitely stop in and try”

“An "Old-School" local Mom and Pop place. When I occasionally have party's, I order through them. Excellent German Potato Salad (made to order). Hot, fresh Coffee.”

“Ordered for a non profit. They were able to accommodate at the very last minute, a 4 foot hero. Our staff and clients were very happy. The quality and price- excellent!! Highly recommend!!”

“My sister loves this spot so had to check it out. Enjoyed their cara caramel latte and latte with vanilla malt syrup. Tons of pastries to choose from. Enjoyed their spinach feta as well as breakfast burrito. They sell merch and tons of other cute knickknacks. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy whatever you end up ordering. The coffee baristas were super nice. Will be back for more caffeine!! You can encounter long lines depending on what time you come in.”

“Such a great new business! 🍕 and who doesn’t love good pizza?”

“Red Defender got my day off to a POWERFUL start. #HealthIsWealth”

“Been going here for years. Everything is good and reasonably priced. The staff are awesome and the decor is like old school hometown and spotlessly clean. Love it”

“we love everything about Uva Rossa! the food was fabulous! the service was beyond expectations! the drinks were spectacular! we truly enjoyed every minute of our experience! love the vibe and decor! a spectacular dinner!”

“Place looks like a whole in the wall but the food is incredible. They still give the ? in the sweet and sour chicken. Other places I've been to stop giving. Constant flow of customers coming in and out with my experience there.”

“In a small town like Malverne, you only have three decent delis to choose from, and every morning it’s the same story, long lines. When you’re trying to grab breakfast before work, every minute counts. Add in a full parking lot, no spots out front, and now you’re parking on the street risking a ticket. And if you live in Malverne, you know the “friendly” meter maid, he’s quick with those tickets. It sucks. I don’t think the owner of this deli realizes what we go through just trying to support a local business.
In my attempt to save time, I call my order in ahead. But if I still have to wait on line just to tell the counter guy I’m there for pickup, it defeats the whole purpose. Creating two lines would fix this: one for people who call ahead (like me, who’s late everywhere) and one for walk-ins. You’d streamline the phone order process, serve more customers, and make mornings a lot smoother. Funny enough, I had this same conversation with a few neighbors, and they said they skip buying breakfast in town altogether for this exact reason.

My second suggestion: have one person dedicated to charging customers. It doesn’t make sense for the guys behind the counter who are preparing food to put on rubber gloves, grab money, make change, and then go right back to handling food with the same gloves.

Besides that, when you do have time, enjoy the food because it’s great!”

“please run to b 97 and experience this delectable food!!!”

“Really good food. Unique service and prices are the best. I totally recommend if you want a real Korean bbq. I travel from Connecticut to flushing NY totally worth it.”

“Everything. Great place. Great summer place. Now it will be open 365 days a year”

“Authentic Thai cuisine with amazing portions. Staff was so friendly and loved that he knew what we wanted to try and gave us great recommendations. Definitely will visit again when we are in the area.”

“This is the best Korean eel spot in the east coast. The eel is so fresh and tender... melts right in my mouth and the scallion salad is phenomenal. A couple owns this spot and the auntie here is so generous and nice,, I would come back just for her:) All the side dishes, especially the kimchi and bean sprouts, are made by her personally and I've never had better. This became my go-to spot!”

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

“Nice cozy neighborhood spot good for drinks and appetizers and food great ambiance”

“Had dinner at Tavern 157 with friends and really enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was attentive, and the food was excellent. The foie gras uni was definitely the highlight!”

“We need our burger fix every time we go to Rockaway! Burgers, hotdogs, fries, ice cream, and drinks are fantastic! Try the Hardbody, aka double cheeseburger! You won't be disappointed! I went yesterday 9/5/26, and their burgers, fries, and drinks were still spot on! The Hardbody was delicious! The beach juice drink is crazy good, I could easily knock back 3! Keep it up Ripper's!”
