“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!“

“As I reflect on this past year,
On the brink of 32 years of age,
I am brought back to my time in Israel,
2018 a time before horror, pain and death,
Birthright trip,
Learned about the other half of me,
I never knew the Jewish traditions,
The prayers,
Today I sit outside of Naya,
A Lebanese restaurant in Oceanside, New York,
The falafel and Tahini wrap,
It brings me back to my time overseas,
Before the escalation, before the war,
To my time eating a salad,
Falafel, goat cheese, mixed greens,
Arugula, I don’t recall the rest,
How fresh this meal was,
To bring me back to a peaceful time,
Where people cohabitated,
Despite different views,
At the western wall,
We were all the same,
A church, a temple, a mosque,
There was no hatred or discrimination,
I walk with God by my side,
Roman Catholic I am,
I do not deny my cultures,
Where others see an outsider,
Not to mix,
You belong where you feel welcomed,
Where there is no judgement,
How one meal can trigger a memory,
From the past,
Will it last?“

“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!“

“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“

“Best kebabs around! Sultani kebab and rice is the best combo and great portions. Never had better rice in my life, seriously.“

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🎖️“

“Naya has been my go-to lunch meal at the Roosevelt Field mall. After a long walk around the mall for exercise, I order and eat a delicious, healthy, and filling bowl of goodness. The offerings are delicious Middle Eastern choices to pick from, creating your own special bowl. Fresh vegetables like Sumac onion, cucumber, jalapeno, cabbage slaw, tomatoes, and many other toppings. You can add hummus, red pepper hummus, Baba Ghannouj, cucumber yogurt to your salad. Top it off with Spicy Red Pepper Sauce, Lemon Tahini, Pomegranate Dressing, and/or pita crunch. They also offer Little Tabboule, grape leaves, cabbage slaw to name a few. Perhaps trying out their falafel, kibbe, fatayer, or rekakat. Everything is delicious, wholesome, nutritious, and very affordable at under $20.“

“I recently ate at this restaurant and had a really good experience. The food was fresh and tasted great, and the place was clean with a nice, chill atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and respectful, which made the visit even better. What really stood out was that after I left, I realized I forgot my wallet there, and when I came back, they had kept it safe for me. That showed how honest and kind they are. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for both the food and the amazing service.“
