“Food is excellent every time however the portion sizes are ridiculous. If you’re charging $17 for a bowl I expect more than half a spoon of rice. The workers behind the counter are almost always oblivious and are not usually friendly. It’s a shame since the food is so good and this can easily be a 5 star spot.“
“Amazing experience with new flavors and textures! Service is top notch and the waiters are very attentive to your needs and the overall customer service. First time coming here by recommendation and will definitely be coming here frequently!“
“Food is delicious and great size portions. The service is excellent. Erdom and Aziz were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Very clean and bright. Went a week ago and returned a few days later because my 1st experience was so great. Marion“
“The food was impeccable, service superb and ambience dreamy. ? Come hungry for the food and stay for the company and drinks ?. This was the perfect small and intimate birthday celebration location. I would highly recommend it and would most definitely come back for dinner again. Hope you enjoy as much as I have!!!“
“Very nice place, comfortable seating. Ordered the schnitzel which was good but different than I expected so I'd get something else next time. Definitely would go backVegetarian options: Some vegetarian choices, gluten free choicesDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: High chairs and made us comfortable with little one even though it was high end, not catered to kids“
“Overall, dining at this mom and pops vibe Turkish restaurant/grocery was a delightful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of authentic Turkish cuisine served with a side of warmth and hospitality. Everyone was friendly. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.“
“I'll be honest everything was nice and good except 1 thing. They did give us a free dessert for the review, fine, but tg bc the dessert they gave was not up to par with the rest of the meal. It was not much more than an overdone brownie. Cast a minor shadow over the night tbh. In conclusion, food, service good, dessert, not.“
“The service and food are always a hit!! I have been coming here for a few years, and Herb and Olive attracts the best customers! I end up having the friendliest conversations with such beautiful people! The salmon with rice and spinach is my favorite!Thank you!!!“
“I remember from years ago that the soft shell crab was good, I don't remember what else made me bookmark this place to return. My partner loves his branzino fish. I had the skirt steak, it was tender, flavor was decent. The service was top notch. I will be back.“
“My friend and I had a delightful experience at this Mediterranean restaurant in Westbury, New York. We visited it on a Friday evening around 5 o’clock and were surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty, with only one other table occupied by a birthday celebration. The restaurant’s location at the crossroads of Merrick Avenue and Old Country Road made it easy to access, with plenty of parking available.Despite its small size, FandoQ had a cozy and neat atmosphere, decorated with beautiful ethnic paintings on the walls. The manager was exceptionally pleasant and attentive to our needs throughout the evening.For our appetisers, I ordered the Samosa, a fried pastry filled with vegetables and chickpeas, while my friend enjoyed the lentil soup and spinach pie. The portions were generous, so my friend decided to skip the main course, while I savoured the Adana kebab, which was a flavourful and perfectly grilled ground lamb dish served with fluffy white rice.To accompany our meal, my friend opted for Chianti, while I chose a refreshing pomegranate martini. For dessert, we shared a delightful Persian tea and indulged in the baklava and Persian ice cream, which was vanilla-based with pistachios.Throughout our meal, we were serenaded by the soothing music by RilTim, which added to the overall ambiance without being too loud, allowing us to enjoy both the music and our conversation.In conclusion, our experience at FandoQ was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was inviting. We would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a meal with friends.“
“Honestly super duper impressed with the quality of food & service we received. At work we will have a catered lunch maybe once a month and it is not easy to coordinate & get great food for an office of 50+ people. But they really got it right! Food came hot, on time, and they very generously provided serving utensils, plates & cutlery. I heard they even called to make sure everything was good which I think is the first of all the resturaunts we had catered. Food: we got the greek salad, rice, lemon potatoes, chicken souvlaki, gyro, falafel, tzatziki & falafel. Everything was super fresh & delish. -- salad had big chunks of feta & some grape leaves. I do wish the salad dressing had more acid(?) because the meal was a bit heavier but overall super fresh!! -- rice to me was a little soggy but some coworkers said they liked the rice and it was super fluffy for them so i think its more about personal prefernce. -- lemon potatoes has a great lemon flavor and was not overcooked. Lemon potatoes are one of my favorite things and this definitely made the list of some of the best. -- chicken came in big chonks and was a pretty moist; and considering i took one of the top pieces from the giant tray for 50 people and it was better than i expected. Only thing is that it felt a little bland? Bit it had great sear and was plentiful! -- gyro was not too salty which is a huge deciding factor me if a greek place is good! It was NOT undercooked in any way but i personally like the burnt bits so i took some leftovers home and airfried it and it was amaaazing. -- falafel was much bigger than i expected - like a golfball? Maybe bigger? Outside was crunchy and the inside still moist and was probs the best falafel i had in monthss. I personally prefer falafel thats not as coarse but again thats a personal prefernce and did not stop me from having a bunch. -- the tzatziki was thiccc like hard to scoop thick. It was honestly amazing! We got some extra lemons so i did thin mine out a bit and i think that helped add a lot of brightness to the meal. Overall- definitely think it will be made part of the rotation and I will definitely consider ordering on my own for lunch to try some of their other menu items“
“This is our second time of many at Sangarita's. The calamari, paella mariscos, pulpo (octopus), tuna tar tar, Cubano sandwich tapas , drinks are amazing. You want a mix of lychee martinis and tapas, this is your place! I am a foodie and been all over New York and more and this place has fresh seafood and great entrees. The flan and churros are a must. Juan and his team are great and we will be back for my cousin's birthday! Check Sangarita's out at Bell Blvd“
“Lovely welcome by hostess and owner and waitesss which set the tone for our brunch today Had the Rothschild breakfast which was delicious especially with my double order of labne! My husband had the Ahi Tuna burger which was also very tasty Will definitely be back!“
“Had a birthday celebration for a party of 8. The reservation, table and service was excellent. Highly recommend it. Be prepared to order the minute your waiter comes by as it gets quite busy and it may take a while to get your entrees.Vegetarian options: Grilled tomatoes are delicious“
“Had an AMAZING time. It was the kids' first time having Greek food, and they loved it! ??Everything was soooooo good. Typically, I like to get grilled chicken with lemon potatoes, but since we went during brunch, I opted for the grilled chicken skewers with the rice pilaf. My husband had the fish of the day which was the branzino, and the kids shared the steak. (The chimichurri sauce was so good).For dessert, the mango sorbet was so refreshing and tropical and the galaktoboureko was a treat indeed as well.Will definitely be back! The staff and service were great, and the decor was beautiful! ?. I loved everything about it. Definitely recommend.“
“Food and service excellent, kid friendly. My daughter wanted Mac and cheese, although it wasn't on the menu the chef made it for her. My little 5 year old said it was simply "delicious". I would recommend Hunter because it was great decadent and family friendly.“
“This establishment is truly wonderful; the food was not only delicious but also served promptly. The young lady at the front desk welcomed us warmly and was incredibly courteous throughout our visit. Moreover, the owner took the time to personally connect with us, ensuring that everything met our expectations.Our experience was nothing short of awesome. Every aspect of our visit, from the delicious food to the attentive service, made for a memorable time. Will visit again and recommend it to others as well.“
“For me, consistency is a major factor when it comes to choosing where to eat. Gyrolicious is consistently serving up some of the best Greek food I've had outside of Astoria, and the staff is always very welcoming. The portions are very generous, and never lack in flavor. You can tell they really take pride in serving their customers and the quality of the food they put out. Absolutely recommend!“
“Today was my birthday and my wife asked me where I wanted to dine out with our two kids. I mentioned a few options, and asked for her thoughts. She mentioned having gong to Yummy Yummy with some of her girl friends recently. I agreed and we headed out there.We arrive about 6:45pm and most Bell Blvd, 48th Ave or adjacent streets surrounding the restaurant are paid metered parking till 7pm Mon thru Sat, and Free Sundays. On the side roads if you walk further you'll notice where the paid metered parking ends there is free public parking. My wife called ahead and made reservations for my birthday for 7pm. In conversation they reserved us half a Hainanese Chicken. That was a good idea because the place was packed at 85% full when we arrived. This evening was cold and a col breeze would rush in when the front door was opened.This restaurant has its own style. It's clean, well lit, ceiling fans in the front half with wood planks hanging vertically evenly space like steps getting lower toward the front of the restaurant. The planks are burnt with texture and they seemed to absorb sound making the restaurant atmosphere less noisy with so many patrons talking - it was comfortable and you could hold a conversation. The tables and chairs were sturdy, clean, and did not rock or creak.The wait staff were courteous and attentive. If you speak Cantonese you'll enjoy your dining experience because my wife conversed with our waitress asking about dishes before we ordered.We ordered the following dishes and am listing them in the order they were served.Roti Pancake - we ordered two which was served with a small bowl of curry chicken with chucks of potato.Cumin Pork Knuckles - served in a plastic basket they were crispy and mouthwatering savory.Fried Beef Chow Fun - my son immediately mentioned the dish had Wok Hei, the beef and noodle was savory.Steak with Back Truffle and Mushrooms - The beef was tender , with thick slices of mushroom and potato, and the truffle infused sauce was delicious.Hainanese Chicken - there was a slight wait on this dish. The check was tender and moist, it was served on a bed of thin sliced cucumber. A sauce tray with four sauces accompanied the chicken adding to the flavor of this dish.* I'd recommend any of the dishes we ordered, but my top favorites were the Chow Fun and Steak.Normally I'd have provide pictures of all our dishes, but the food did not disappoint so I was only able to ask at the last moment my daughter to snap a quick picture of the Hainenese Chicken which I'm still waiting on her to forward to me for this review.Payment - We were told they didn't take Discover, and listed MasterCard or Visa, and cash is king.I gave Yummy Yummy 5 Stars based on the food, service, and atmosphere. There are more and more quality Asian restaurants beyond Manhattan/Chinatown, , Brooklyn/Chinatown, and Flushing/Chinatown. I'd rate it $$, but I'd keep in mind that prices have been rising. *One unofficial litmus test I'd point out is that if an Asian restaurant is patronized by a high number of Asian regularly there is a high chance the food is good.“
“Had the bacalao fritters as an appetizer. They had small shards of bone in them. We each pulled bones out of our mouths. My friend ordered the cod named after restaurant. Had bones. No where in menu does it tell you that their plate is BONE IN. Made meal unpleasant.I had lamb chops. I must say they were thinnest lamb chops ever anywhere. Usually they’re 3 double chops in every place I’ve had them. Here they’re 4 single chops so thin you can’t get them medium rare as I ordered. I’d say go but ask lots of questions.“
“Haven't been here in a while. Had heard not as good recently. Had been frequent visitors here. Decided to try on Friday. Everything was fantastic. Service spot on. Food delicious and plentiful. Prices seemed a tad higher, but not outrageous. Will return.“
“Ordered catering for a work event and was given great pricing and attention from the restaurant owner Ramazan. The food was a hit with everyone and left everyone stuffed. As a Turk, this was a trip down memory lane as classics were served in an authentic matter. I personally loved all the food and would love to support the business again. P.S. the baklava is perfect.“
“Just ate here for the first time tonight after my in laws raved about it (they grew up in Oyster Bay). The food is delicious and the portions are large and reasonably priced. The owner is the sweetest guy. I don't know how he doesn't have people lined up out the door. Definitely a must when in Bayville!“
“Always a great meal! The lentil soup and frozen basil lemonade are a must.For those with celiac , lots of gluten free options too!Dietary restrictions: The chef and staff were very knowledgeable about gluten free options and cross contamination.“
“I was so excited to find a good shawarma place. I had the chicken shawarma salad with brown rice. It with a white sauce and spicy red sauce. Both were tasty. The food was great. The service was very friendly. The ambience is cute. It is small and there are a few tables to sit at. The shawarma is Georgian (country) style shawarma which was a delicious style.“
“I can’t say enough good things about Modern on the Rails for my daughter’s bridal shower brunch. I had great feedback on the venue and the delicious food. The staff was attentive and so helpful, my guest’s drinks as well as the buffet selections were constantly filled. The atmosphere is unique and so pretty with exposed brick and beautiful chandeliers. I. borrowed their cart to do a bouquet bar that turned out to be a hit with everyone. The shower was everything the bride to be had hoped for. Thank you to Lori, John, Julianna and Kevin for making this an stress-free, perfect day for us.“
“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“
“Came back a week later to bring my husband he was super impressed. He's a hard one to please as he is really picky about his chicken parm, but he did LOVE it! I already was blown away by the food, and we haven't even had dessert yet. Ready to come back for more!“
“The restaurant is truly exceptional, with warmth and hospitality. The cuisine is excellent and super fresh with impeccable quality that sets a new standard. The waitstaff are genuinely friendly and provide service that is attentive, personalized, and above all, exceptional. Every aspect of our experience was met with a level of excellence“
“What a pleasant surprise to find this place in Port Washington. The restaurant is very classy. Great ambiance. Staff is super professional and courteous, and the food did not disappoint. Ordered the lobster a la carte, and the 3 course prix fix dinner which is a great deal for $39. The lobster was perfect. I ordered the branzino, mildly seasoned but extremely tasty with rice and spinach. I also had a glass of Pinot. very smooth. This location seems to have a second floor balcony for private parties. We will most likely be coming back. It's is so worth it for a day trip.“
“I’ve gone here a few times with family for birthday celebrations; it’s my sister in law’s fave place for a gathering. The staff is very attentive and friendly, you get great service. The food is delicious - omg the zucchini chips, their dip (hummus and tzatziki sauce) and pita bread platter, calamari and sauce, their grilled shrimp, veggies, even salad is amazing! The whole family and children tend to eat very well when we come here! Would highly recommend. They even had a live jazz singer with band playing this past Saturday when we went. Overall great ambiance, esp for the family.“
“This location has a special place in my heart. 1988, I just came back from being stationed overseas and my girl friend (now my wife) says lets have Falafel for lunch. What's Falafel? Back then, the restaurant was called The Promised Land and it was the first time I took a bite of Falafel. Now, I was hooked! Strange that I never had nor heard of Falafel growing up in Brooklyn. Working in NYC was when I saw the different Falafel styles and was introduced to Einat Admonys version at Taim. I was a total fan of her Falafel. And to me, she gets points because she served in the IDF as well as being in Season 3 of Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions? Shabbat Shalom sister with a fist bump. Which takes me to 2024, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen in Plainview. Walking in just floods me with so many memories. The counterperson says if I join the Taim rewards I can save on my first order so download the app. 1988 doesn't have anything on 2024! Once I downloaded the app, I ordered something simple, The O.G. Falafel Pita made with Harissa (for a little kick) I sit down to a nice, clean location. Brightly colored tables and a jug with some delicious looking lemonade. (Too sugary for me in 2024) My meal is ready. I like the fact that there is both Hummus and Tahini sauce inside the pita. It was a nice sandwich, the pita texture to me was a little off. It was too thick compared to what I'm used to at other falafel joints. Just for a moment, I had lunch back in time. Them I checked my app for the meal credit, I jumped in my Electric Car and headed home. Chicken Shawarma is calling me, I'll be back. (80s reference)“
“Of all the Greek restaurants I've ever eaten, this was the one that suited my taste the best. It wasn't too salty or spicy, but it had enough flavor of Greek food. The interior was luxurious and the service was very good. A perfect place to have dinner with good people.“
“I was running errands around the area and decided to try this place out. I had the lunch special which was a pita sandwich with a side of fries and a drink. I got the pork souvlaki which had good potential but could've been a little more flavorful though cooked well otherwise. Service was friendly and quick. It has an open kitchen concept, which is always nice to see and lots of seating.“
“Loved Azerbaijan Grill. It is a distinct establishment, operating independently and specializing in Mediterranean cuisine. It is recognized for its exceptional chargrilled kebabs and an array of traditional dishes, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean and Middle East. The menu shines with its variety, including stews, dips, and vegetarian options such as mousakka and assorted vegetable plates, making it a favored choice for those in pursuit of authentic tastes. The ambiance of Azerbaijan Grill is designed to be comfortably casual, focusing on delivering a high-quality dining experience that emphasizes the flavors and authenticity of the food rather than the decoration. This commitment to quality and authenticity makes Azerbaijan Grill a must-visit for enthusiasts of Mediterranean cuisine.Please note, Azerbaijan Grill and Sufiya’s Mediterranean Grill in East Meadow are separate entities and should not be confused with one another. Each restaurant offers its own unique take on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, contributing to the rich culinary landscape of the area.“
“New adress: 16 memorial hwy, New Rochelle 10801 New York It continues to serve in its new place after covit 19. a larger and more spacious space. There is also a bar and outdoor seating. The same tastes and friendly services are waiting for its new customers at its new address.“
“Thanks to Curtis me and my girlfriend were able to secure a late night meal before they closed. Would definitely recommend their food it's well balanced and filling without leaving you feeling like you overate. Service is good and very quick for the quality. Would recommend takeout.“
“Good place located across the street from Iona. I tried it for a late lunch. Food was excellent and service was very good. Nice atmosphere with an "upscale diner" type feel - classy but not overdone. Prices were fair and food was much better than diner style. Parking in back of restaurant was a plus. I definitely will be going back !“
“This place is awesome. The staff are super friendly, the prices are reasonable for the pile of food you get, they have a liquor license so beer and wine are beverage options, the variety of sides is great, the ingredients are fresh, and every bite of food is so tasty! I got the salad+rice bowl with steak, babaganoosh, hummus, red cabbage, and cucumber & tomato mix with mint-yoghurt dressing (which you can get on the side like I did in case you don't know what you're getting into). It came with warm pita and I got baklava as dessert. I am so happy this place exists; what a delicious food experience!“
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, right next to Manhasset Movies, on a pouring rainy day. I ordered their Bowl and it was AMAZING! All the ingredient was soooo FRESH! And the portion was so generous! Atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm, CLEAN, and welcoming. Staff is very friendly and courteous. This is a very cute cozy spot serving HONEST food to customers. I will definitely come back here and bring my friends as well. WE NEED MORE RESTAURANTS LIKE THIS IN OUR WORLD.“
“This is the third time we take our food at Fez. Before this we tried meze sampler, baba gannoush and chicken wrap. The food here is very tasty and the portions are quite big. A few days ago we also went to the store itself, there are a lot of interesting products and a great selection of oriental sweets. I am definitely happy with this find and we will go back there more than once. I also absolutely recommend a visit.“
“Easily the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area. For that matter on all of Long Island! Spectacular food in a cozy, clean setting. Served by the loveliest family at a reasonable price. When you give Shish Kabob Grill a try you will have no regrets! (5*) Oh! I almost forgot…municipal parking is close by. ?“
“Although we rarely eat at Turquoise, it is our go-to place for healthy delicious dishes to take out. Chef Mustafa is a master at his preparation of chicken and lamb. Turqoiuse Chicken and a side of Esme are favorite dishes. The TC is consistently tender and flavorful. An annual rite of spring for me is having an alfresco lunch w a crisp glass of white wine with my book of the moment. I look forward to those warm days!“
“Nicely designed food container , large serving of meat to satisfy hungerSpice bend adjusted to be flavorful but not overwhelming,Vegetarian options: Cauliflower falafelDietary restrictions: Gluten free friendlyKid-friendliness: Kid friendly“
“Fam favorite appetizers were the crispy fried eggplant & zucchini chips and exceptional hummus with pita. Mixed grilled vegetables were prepared eloquently and tasted sensational . Branzino was moist, cooked & seasoned to perfection & melted in your mouth. Greek salad & dressing tasted fresh & delicious. Baklava was enjoyed by all. Would order more frequently if weren’t so pricey! Recommend dining in on special occasions.“
“Really is 5 Stars. I have been here several times and every time you leave with a smile and talking about the food. The Pappardelle Bolognese, Vitello Martini, Pollo Scarpariello, and of course baked clams. By the way, the broccoli will be the best you ever had. (I know that's a weird call out but you'll understand when you try it) Drinks are great, especially the espresso martini (order it without Bailey's). Service and ambience are what you would expect at a fine dining Italian restaurant...really well done. Not stuffy...just really nice.“
“The food was incredibly delicious! I opted for the falafel wrap with fresh lettuce, hummus, and tahini sauce, and it was simply amazing. You can taste the freshness, and it was made with great care. I'll certainly be returning for more.“
“Loved this spot for Lunch !!! We popped in yesterday and the food was very good. We were met with a very friendly waitress who sat us done right away. It's a casual small spot in New Rochelle accommodating a few tables and take out service. We enjoyed the small bites and grilled octopus which were very tasty. For a main they split a chicken souvlaki for us between my husband and I. Portion size was just right. Food was great !!! We usually order from them to go but had an even better experience dining in. A must stop to eat !“
“My friends and I came in on a Sunday evening for dinner and we were greeted by Rob who was the kindest and most delightful server ever. All of our meals were well cooked, balanced, and delicious. We came in with an appetite and dug in without taking photos of our dishes but they were all a 10/10. Highly recommend! For reference, we ordered the pita spread as a starter and had the Greek salad with grilled chicken, stuffed chicken with vegetables, and the lamb chops with lemon potatoes as our entree selection and ended the night with Maria’s award winning Blueberry Baklava which in our opinions needs more awards. Do yourself a favor and go eat here!!!“
“Tavern style bar and eatery with big ideas.Menu is eclectic with wagyu meatballs, a crisp roast chicken and fingerling potatoes, or a tender 12oz steak, which arrives sliced. All are terrific.The food is much better than you might expect, and the atmosphere and service are pleasant and unfussy.“
