Middle Eastern Restaurants in Queens, NY

“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!“

“Food was delicious, the people and service was excellent. ❤️❤️❤️“

“my first time there. the merguez sandwich is so delicious. OMG so yummy 😋 great service. 🇩🇿🇲🇦 my new destination in steinway.“

“I've lived in the neighborhood for 2yrs and finally decided to Try this Restaurant and it hasn't disappointed me yet! I was confused on what dish to get so the cashier (young lady with glasses) recommended "Chicken TIkka" it's so yummy ? the food was hot and freshly cooked this is my third time visiting. I'll definitely be back to try more items off the menu. I Also like they are open lateeeeee“

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

“My opinion is 8.3/10. Overall I did enjoy it for my first shashuka. $15 for hummus, 2 eggs and 2 pitas pockets. Overall fresh and enjoyable. Maybe wait was a tad long about 30 mins and maybe a little strong on tahini in the hummus. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“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!“

“Grill point is the spot to go to for Israeli food. their Shwarma, baby chicken and lamb are always cooked to perfection. Liz always gives us the best service and always makes sure everything is perfect. Great place to eat in or take out and serving sizes are great as well“

“Great place, decent portion size for the price, delicious and scrumptious flavorful food. Highly recommend the lamb and chicken sandwich, you get a great mix of flavors. Relatively filling but not too much, just the right amount. Roughly 1.63 Big Macs in size but obviously much higher quality. Better than a Big Mac 100%. Great service as well, they are very friendly and nice. A small area to sit if it’s not busy, but easy to eat the sandwiches to go as well. Would definitely go again and try something else.“

“Shah Halal in Sunnyside, Queens, offers a stellar dining experience with its standout dish: the falafel over rice. The falafel is a highlight, featuring perfectly crisp exteriors and tender, well-seasoned interiors. It's evident that the ingredients are fresh, and the spices are balanced, delivering a flavorful punch with every bite. The rice, fluffy and subtly aromatic, complements the falafel beautifully, creating a satisfying base for the dish.

What truly elevates the meal is the white sauce, a creamy, tangy addition that brings everything together. It has a smooth texture and a slight zesty kick that enhances the falafel and rice without overpowering them. The sauce’s balanced flavor profile adds a delicious layer of richness, making each forkful a delight.

Overall, Shah Halal provides a superb falafel over rice that is both flavorful and satisfying, with the white sauce adding a perfect finishing touch. It’s a must-try for anyone in the area craving quality halal cuisine.“

“"The food and service here are absolutely fantastic! My favorite dish is the grilled chicken served with rice and chickpeas, accompanied by grilled jalapeños and onions on the side-so flavorful! They also have a lovely seating area on the second floor, which adds to the overall
experience. I highly recommend
this place. Give it a try-you won't regret it!"“

“אוכל טוב אושפלוב טעים ובשר אכותי.“

“I was there last night and I was giving the cashier a hard time because I didn’t know what I wanted to try because it was my first time. 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🎖️“

“It was my first time there with my wife.the food and service was about standard.but i was shocked to see a sign to pay with cash!.the sign says cash is the king.let keep cash alive and we retain the value with cash.this is very rude and funny.because the add service charge on your bill and when you want to sign up for your card again leave a space for the tip!!! .“

“The fried rice is a must try. They also have nice chicken ball and sour.“

“One ☝️ of the best Halal food in Queens Richmond hill .Very outstanding food.I will definitely recommend it.“

“One of the most authentic places to feast at. Visited here from Toronto, Canada and felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. The quality of the food speaks for itself in the fact that you don’t feel uneasy after filling up your belly with whatever you order from the menu.The free lassi was one of my favourite parts and I thoroughly enjoyed the buttermilk goodness. I took back 8 boxes of their famous barfi and till now I order boxes and have them shipped here, it’s been 8 years since I first ate there. Visited once again recently and can say other restaurants don’t compare. We have hundreds of India restaurants in Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga and have yet to try something as good as this place. Thanks for the great service and homemade food. Will always visit when we are in town.“

“The chicken was hot and fresh“

“Best hookah lounge in astoria! Their service is really amazing! Stuffs are great! If you go there try supari paan. But with the new addition of karaoke they might lose some customers! Please take care of karaoke cause we come here to have some quality time!“
