“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“Had lunch here after the Morocco game on the Fourth of July. The food was fresh and very authentic, according to my Montenegrin friend I was with. It was my first time having Balkan food and the owner was so happy to have me. We had a nice conversation about her family in Montenegro. I could have spent all day in there trying different food and speaking to the owner. I will certainly stop by for lunch anytime I come back to Astoria!“

“This place is freaking amazing. I had just went to a fancy viral-ish sit down dinner spot a couple nights before, and ordered some falafel, dips, chicken platter situation. Very very tasty. Fast forward to present, hungry, need something in the area. Falafel bites comes along, or rather I come to it, carried by fate. Turns out date wanted to teach me a lesson about value, since this spot completely destroyed the fancy spot at a fraction of the price and fanfare. Falafel, baba, hummus, chicken platter, rice pudding, all among the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot. The owner was so attentive and so nice, she came over to chat as we were finishing up and was quite proud of the food there. So had great reason to be. If you're hungry and you've got 10 bucks on you, I don't think you can really get better than this. Hell if you had 100 bucks on you and the ability to warp anywhere in the city, you might be better off declining and just walking into falafel bites. Place is nuts good.“

“Great drinks, even better food. My go-tos are the pistachio flatbread and the mixed platter (lamb, kafta, falafel). Very sweet neighborhood vibes - they had the Knicks game on and a bunch of us were watching game 5 together 💙🧡 and they have World Cup on as well“

“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!!!“

“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“

“Lunch was better than I would ever expect, enjoyable!“

“I’ve been to Turkey many times… I have eaten Lahmacunu there many times… eating yours brought me back to Turkey!!!! ÇOK LEZZETLİ ❗️“

“Great seafood nice people“

“The food is delicious. Very courteous and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!“

“Delicious 😋 food. Great ambiance. Wonderful servers.“

“Care about quality food...Best of the best...“

“Honestly, the food here is great. My go to is Honey Chipotle Chicken. Every bite is enjoyable, the portion sizes are large (and cost effective) and the staff are all great to their customers. The small talk doesn't feel forced either.

There's no eating in anymore but honestly it's good that way and I'm all for the business interests so they can keep things running smoothly and I can keep coming back for years to come.“

“Excellent Dinning Experience ⭐️ Amazing Fire Show 🔥 Awesome Steak 🥩 Definitely coming Back 🔜 Best of Luck !! ❤️“

“After visiting Estiatorio Milos at Hudson Yards last week, the comparison made me realize that I’m actually far more drawn to the dining style of Anassa Taverna. There’s something about its atmosphere and approach to food that feels warmer, more effortless, and genuinely enjoyable rather than overly polished. The lobster pasta was outstanding — rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced — while the fried calamari was unexpectedly impressive, perfectly light and crisp without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of meal that stays in your memory not because it tries too hard, but because every detail feels naturally well done.“

“Best falafel in the neighborhood, Pita Hot keeps on delivering great food when I’m sick, when I’m drunk, when I’m coming home from work, or I just don’t want to cook. My favorite spot in Astoria they’re the sweetest people“

“Soooo good! I will be back!“

“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!“

“A friend of mine and I had a lovely experience at Laffa Bar and Grill. The outside tent was spacious, the food is plentiful and delicious! I also like the changes they made indoors. It has a very nice ambiance. The Owners are warm and welcoming as well as each of the staff. Service with a smile..how refreshing! The Owners told us they deliver to our town in West Hempstead and cater! Looking forward to going back soon! Keep up the good work everyone!“

“The most amazing sushi ever ,excellent service, and beautiful atmosphere . Must try, make sure you make a reservation ,they are usually full and may not have extra Tabel. Also order the cheese cake you will love it.“

“I recently had the immense pleasure of dining at Tubool and I can honestly say that it was an unforgettable culinary experience that left me absolutely dazzled.The menu was a masterpiece in itself, offering a diverse range of dishes that catered to every palate. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted with a blend of flavors and textures that showcased the culinary expertise of the chefs. The presentation was a work of art, with every plate resembling a canvas that had been painted with exquisite precision.The service was impeccable, with the staff exhibiting a genuine passion for their craft.“

“One of the best halal place in Brooklyn“

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“

“The food is good, the service is good, and I've always enjoyed eating here. However, I note that many, if not most, of the food items are no longer available which leads me to suspect the place is slowly closing down, probably due to lack of customers.“

“Fabulousness A must place to go“

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

“I really loved!! the place has such a good vibe and feels super nice as soon as you walk in…
Oriana’s service was excellent, very kind and attentive the whole time. The Farrod salad with salmon was delicious and the espresso martini was one of the best I’ve ever had.

I would 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.“

“Atik Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience where exceptional cuisine meets artistry. The food and drinks are crafted with remarkable quality, while the ambience—complete with enchanting lights and graceful dancers—feels truly magical. Conveniently located with nearby parking, it’s the perfect setting for a special occasion. Highly recommended.“

“The food is great…specially the Grill Octopus 🐙 👍👍“

“Good food, clean and cozy with live music and friendly staff!“

“I stopped in for lunch and asked for a recommendation. The kind gentleman told me to have the lamb shank and sit back and relax. The outdoor seating was great on a nice day and the food was even better. The Lamb shank fell off the bone and the sides were great too. Highly recommend going.“

“Love this place!! The employees are always so friendly and helpful! The food is EXCELLENT as always, and I'm obsessed with the Buffin muffins ($~6) and overnight oats ($~9), although the latter are a bit too pricey. My favs are the Welcome to the Sno buffin (which tastes like those viral pink squishy chocolate snowball pastries and are good even when frozen, also has a cream filling) and the Fitella overnight oats (very filling). Cash register has some excellent protein bar recommendations next to it, I always grab one. The meals are always good no matter what I get, and they are priced around $11-12. My favorite is the Soho Steakbowl, which comes with marinated steak strips and sweet potato fries, and is $12. I miss the Egg White Muffins, they need to bring them back!!! Same with the Tres Leches buffin!! Whenever I come here I grab 10 meals for a discount, and they last me a work week.“

“Atención con calidez y amabilidad. Buena comida mediterránea. Lo recomiendo“

“Addictive Wine & Tapas is a great place to go for an after-work drink, or for a light meal with great tapas. The wine selection is extensive, the service is great, and the personal attention from the owners makes everyone feel special.“

“I had the octopus, greek salad, zucchini chips and steak for Dinner. Everything from start to finish was tasty and of excellent quality. 5 stars all the way! I will be returning.“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“
