Halal Restaurants near Ridgewood, NY

“Busy family in NYC- can’t drive to the shop to get your meat? Don’t hesitate! Most fresh (I’m very picky!) and tasty halal meat, superbly vacuum sealed with awesome immediate customer service if we ever had questions about our order. You will not regret :-)“

“My cousin recommend the cevapi to me a while back. I would always get my cevapi in Astoria but decided to give Bosna Express a shot. I was a little nervous about trying after hearing about the change of chef. But I have to say it was really good. I definitely will be coming back. The owner was very sweet and attentive to how she could make my order. Also highly recommend the chicken over rice!“

“Our favorite bodega in the neighborhood! Wonderful people who are always friendly and personable! Fair prices for everything and sandwiches are amazing!Update: no longer owned by the same family and is vastly different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5“

“The food tasted good and my family liked it. However I did not understand the point of adding more money to my bill because I was paying by card. This is not nice and I would say more profiteering approach. If many others are not doing it this way, why are they doing it then?“

“I really do like this place, and they have such an expansive menu. I just wish it didn't take so long through Seamless. They use an alternate delivery service, and it's always delivered well past the promised time.“

“Tried DHC and honestly it did not disappoint! The chicken is tender, juicy and flavourful. The meal options are not too expensive either! It was so good we came again the next day. Also it is halal certified!

It's also worth trying their slushe drinks! So much better than the 7/11 stores.

Only negative is that there is not enough seating and it can get super busy. It is a 10/10 and would recommend.“

“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated“

“We stopped by this place without much research and the Stir Fried Lagman blew us away. We also got the Plow Rice and the Rice Noodles which were both yummy but the Stir Fried Lagman was TOO good! I definitely recommend checking them out when possible and I highly recommend trying the stir fried Lagman dish, you will not be disappointed!“

“My wife had been craving Tajen ever since we had it on Morocco. The food was as if we were sitting in Morocco. We ordered two soups Harir and lentil soup. I personally like Harir but lentil soup was ok. Then we ordered Lamb and fish Tajen one with rice and other with bread. Lamb Tajen was out of this world. Fish Tajen was good too. But if you don't have a big appetite, I would highly recommend skipping everything else and just have the lamb Tajen. Atmosphere was cozy and service took a bit of time because they make it fresh so be patient. Overall great experience of having Morocco food without spending thousands of dollars.“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“I have been going here since it opened. Friendly staff. Highly recommend the lunch special with generous portions. I recently learned that the small container of onion relish now costs $2–it used to be automatically added to the order. Also, the food in my usual order used to be pleasantly spicy but various items are extremely fiery (happens occasionally with the samosas and most recently with the aloo matar gobi). Took off a star for that but it’s still a solid option!“

“Delicious food.Best service.Thank you.“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

“Been coming here since highschool. Still better than most halal spots ive been to both in taste and price. And the best thung of all is the owner himself. always with a smile on his face, always polite when serving. So loved by the community that while you wait for your food at least 2 people will greet him and he'll greet back.“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“When I got my food, some people lined up that were regulars. The server knew all their favorites and even came out to hug one of the customers. He was so nice! The food came out quickly, but I wouldn’t have cared if it took a while. I accidentally blocked the way for a stroller to get through because I was chatting with him since he was so nice. 10/10 :)“

“Really enjoyed the food here and thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. One thing that stood out was how quickly everything was prepared — the food came out almost immediately, which made the experience really convenient without sacrificing freshness. Everything tasted flavorful, hot, and satisfying, especially for a quick stop. The only small issue was that it was a little difficult to hear the employee speaking because she was very quiet and the plexiglass made communication harder. Aside from that, the service was still polite and the overall experience was smooth. The place felt organized, efficient, and easy to stop by when you want something quick but still good quality. Definitely a spot I’d return to again.“

“I spoke with the owner after an issue he was very professional, and this is my follow up.

He suggested the chicken tenders and it was very fresh, I also saw a couple order the fish and it was fried to order —it looked so good. Honestly I’m very grateful the owner was able to make it right. Will be coming back again!

The sauces are also really good, and they have my favorite bbq sauce on hand, try their special sauce!“

“I think this is the best shawarma i have ever had so far. Chicken platter is good, however, i am pleasantly surprised that the beef platter is also as tasty! The meat is so tender, not dry at all!

Good reasonable portion! Very satisfied 😋😋“

“Food was Fresh and Perfectly Seasoned! Lady was Friendly. Will def go back! Only downfall, needs a proper sign so you can find the right cart, but right across from planet fitness by myrtle wycoff train station. Other than that, Love it 😊“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

“The food was so good and flavorful. The people here are so nice and welcoming as well. Amazing service and hospitality. They brought our food out less than 10 minutes after taking our order too. They even gave us a free juice on our way out :)“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“If you’re looking for one of the best gyro spots in downtown Bowling Green, Continental Gyro is a must-visit. The food is always fresh, the gyros are packed with flavor, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommended!“

“They’re located in front of the PNC bank and their food is the bestttt. I got the chicken over rice and a water for $17 but half of one filled me up. They’re very generous with the chicken and sauce and it tastes very good even my toddler liked it. Would definitely come back here🙌“

“So amazing so delicious so clean and nice service with respect thank u for everything“

“The Best Thai-Food anywhere...#Period“

“Все чтоб не подовали песподобно вкусно яшисун уйгурум коллирингиз дард кормисун“

“I went with my bro to try this chicken spot and it was top. I ordered the big back burger and it crushed !! The combination of all the toppings plus the special big back sauce was so good. My bro ordered the Alito fries , I tried some of the chicken - soft and tasty. We shared waffles and chicken as well. The waffles were great. The plus thing - all of it was halal! I definitely would recommend anyone to eat here and I will be visiting again soon!“

“Overall we had a great meal. The lamb was a bit too strong in flavor and aroma for my taste but I enjoyed everything else. The Afghan naan was so interesting ) crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside). The grilled meat was flavorful, the dumplings and the sauce were good, and the eggplant ended up being my favorite dish. The portions were generous, especially the rice, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. We also got the house made pistachio pudding for dessert, and it was good without being too sweet.“

“Best food I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a inexpensive very good quality meal in New York. This is the place to go.

My brother Ahmed will make sure you have the best most friendliest experience ever!!! 10/10 food truck. Will have again when I visit.“

“Turkish coffee and baklava in this restaurant was unforgettable. The presentation was great. Friendly servers as well.“

“This was some of the best Halal food I’ve ever had, their name speaks for itself. The service was kind and quick. I got a combo plate over rice with all the sauces. It was so good I wish I got it again before leaving NY. I would definitely recommend them any day!“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“I was craving falafel for a hot minute and This place just hit different!!! Sooo good! Excellent service with a smile, I annihilated the whole falafel plate. Sooo worth it! Definitely wanna come here if you love fresh food friendly service in a clean pleasant atmosphere. They even have free Quran’s and desserts. Highly recommended! Definite customer for life. Kid friendly and culturally diverse. Love it. Aksam was so friendly and a great salesman in the best way. Ask for him“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“I work in the area and always go for lunch. Very delicious food and great customer service . They have the best shawarma and my favorite mango matcha
The best thing is they don’t use any jam or syrup I can literally chew the mango chunks and taste the matcha flavor too. Absolutely delicious“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“One of the best halal spots in Queens! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and the portions are generous. The doner kebab is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the ingredients taste fresh every time. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast, and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.“

“This has become my go to halal spot in Harlem (Across from Harlem Hospital). The variety and food is good, but the customer service is top tier! Also, you can definitely get some foods customized and not feel like it’s an issue! Harlem’s biggest chicken wraps!“

“I have tried lamb over rice. My expectation was more over the taste of lamb. I think they should try more to make it a tasty one. French fries were ok. Salad was nothing special. Overall they should try more to make it something better than their competitors.“

“I’ve been coming here for a long time, and this used to be one of our favorite halal carts. We would regularly drive in from Long Island with groups of friends and family, especially for the falafel, which was always outstanding.

Unfortunately, since Hamza left, I’ve noticed a significant decline in both the service and the overall quality of the food. The owner has always been friendly and seems like a genuinely good person, so I’m not sure exactly what’s changed behind the scenes, but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Today we came as a family, and there were three new employees working. It was pretty clear they weren’t happy to be there, and the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. We did have a larger order, but in the past that was never an issue—we were always greeted warmly and appreciated as customers.

I’m leaving this review because I genuinely want to see this place succeed. The food and service used to be exceptional, and I hope they can get back to the standard that made so many of us loyal customers.“

“This place exceeded all my expectations! The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel so welcome. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I was also impressed by how reasonable the prices were—you get amazing quality without spending a fortune. Great atmosphere, outstanding service, and fantastic food. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience!“

“The best burger I’ve had. Amazing food, fantastic service. The chocolate milkshake was so delicious. We went for a late lunch, and was so impressed we went there again for dinner before we left to go home to the UK.“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“This place is incredible! The owner was extremely nice and welcomed us with complimentary falafel samplers while we waited. They turned out to be some of the best falafels I’ve ever had—perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside.
For our main meals, my wife and I ordered the combo over rice and the chicken over rice. The portions are massive; the owner really filled the boxes up to the brim. The meat was well-seasoned, juicy, and paired perfectly with the rice and sauces. Excellent food, massive portions, and top-tier hospitality. We will definitely be back!“

“I order from here regularly. Their biryani is probably one of the best in Brooklyn arguably.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Halal Haven is a must-try! The food is full of flavor – fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend the Fully Loaded platter and Flavored wings. . The service was excellent too – friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Great portions, fair prices, and a clean, comfortable atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!“
