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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Had always heard great things and I can confirm that they hold up. They have some outdoor seating so we took advantage of that. Ordered the Sabry’s Combo (shrimp, calamari and salmon) which came with salad, bread and rice. Also got the mixed Tajine (shrimp and calamari) which was incredible. Definitely be sure to save your bread to dip on the Tajine. While we were waiting for our food, the owner popped his head out to say that they had a special soup that day so we decided to try it. It was Molokhia or green soup which had shrimp in it. Everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

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

“Not to be missed. Grilled beats fried.“

“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“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love love love this place, I have been going here for almost 20 years. Ali is a gem ❤️“

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

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

“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.

“First time to ever try pizza shawarma, definitely a great choice! Will be ordering again also I ordered the chicken parm and Philly cheese steak sandwiches for a quick lunch. Both were delicious and very fresh. The chicken was not soggy like most chicken parm sandwiches I've ordered from other places . The service was very fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. I' definitely come back to try other things from the menu. I saw someone having the shawarma platter and it looked delicious.“

“Delicious, fresh chicken and lamb, perfectly seasoned and cooked, and served with a smile. Quality of the meats is above the usual cart fare, and it makes a big difference. We eat a LOT of halal cart food, and Abdul offers some of the best we’ve had. If you’re in the area (or flying out of JFK and have some extra time), it’s worth a small detour.“

“falafel,chicken and lamb over rice platters“

“I love this food truck. Best food truck in NY! Guys are funny, kind, pleasant and working hard lovely people. Food is so yummylicious!!!! I love the beef Sharma so I always got that. Until yesterday I wanted to try something new. So I got the beef kebab and Kefta (? Not sure if I spelled it rt) but it's like a thin burger patty. These were sooo good too!!! Now I'm have to go back for more lol. I got sauce with mine. But naw. Their food is soooo good. You should get the sauce on the side! Taste it trufully haha. Price is good. And portion is good. Iam a lady who can eat! And I can't finish it all st once! My husband can. But he gets full after. ? I highly recommend this food truck if you wanna try a real halal food! Their meat taste and feels real as compare to other food truck lamb,, it feels like canned meat... OMG also Their falafel I'd THE BEST! So crunchy and flavourful!! ??“

“I ordered the brisket fries and the cornflake schnitzel sandwich and both were amazing and tasted fresh. The brisket did not have that overwhelming taste of liquid smoke other spots use which made it enjoyable to eat. A small location that should be recognized more“
