Falafel near South Richmond Hill, NY

“I’ve been here a few times, and I honestly have nothing but good things to say. The guys working here are always so nice, friendly, and welcoming, and the food is genuinely really good. Everything I’ve had has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

I’ve seen some of the negative comments and reviews, and based on my own experiences, I really don’t agree with them whatsoever. Everyone can have a different experience, of course, but I’ve always been treated with kindness and have enjoyed the food every time.

These guys work hard, and they deserve some recognition for the great food and the kindness they show their customers. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Not even one of the best, THE BEST falafel in NYC. Didn’t have time to take a picture because you have to eat this falafel 🥙 not taking pictures ! Thank you!“

“The soups and quinoa falafel 🥙 are out of this world . Mouth waters just thinking about next time I will be eating these items“

“One of my favorite halal spots in queens. Food and service is impeccable. Even though I got a salad platter they still threw in some rice so you won’t go hungry. Chicken and lamb are amazing. Perfect amount of char and still tender. They also usually give out a free sample of falafel which is cooked and seasoned perfectly. They also cook it in an oval shape so it’s a bit more crispy as opposed to the circle ones. Must try and always get extra white sauce and hot sauce. Food is hot, fresh and comes out quickly“

“Next time I come here I’m stealing their recipe. Amazing Yemeni place. Got the beef bowl with a side of pita and I will be dreaming about this spot. Made the beef right in front of me. Owners are super nice and helpful and gave me amazing recs. Please go here.“

“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.“

“I love the shawarma sandwich I bought , it was so delicious tasty and the good thing of this place, is that it has small section to buy groceries,like Arab bread which is so delicious.“

“This is not a place you come to for atmosphere. This is a place for delicious falafel and other Middle Eastern foods, like shakshuka, kibbeh, etc., all vegetarian, since it's kosher dairy. The food is authentic Israeli-style. The staff is friendly, too. I don't wear a yarmulke, my wife doesn't cover her arms, and they serve us, and everyone I've seen walk through the doors with a smile. Good food and civility are universal. Give this little shop a try!“

“The food here is so good! The staff is very nice, you can order inside or use their digital kiosks outside. There is only outdoor seating but it’s perfect for the summer. The hummus is some of the best I have ever had, and the mint lemonade was delicious! They have vegetarian options and bowls you can alter to be gluten free. Come here!“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

“Friendly service, good food takes time to prepare but it's so worth the wait“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“The taste as good as they look🤭🤭🤭 Definitely a 🙌🏻“

“Food is delicious as hell and I like the energy and people are polite, but I did ask if I could replace the baba ganoush with a different appetizer, they clarified I didn't want baba ganoush, and then it was very much in my falafel platter. I just kinda. Hate eggplant but also food waste and I didn't want them to have to toss my platter or whatever if I asked for it fixed. They also skipped the hot sauce and I asked for a LOT of hot sauce. It made me sad.“

“Great food! I had the double cheeseburger which was a bit lacking in terms of flavor but I’ve heard their kebabs are much better. I’ll go back some other time to try the kebabs because the restaurant was great overall. Good service, really great prices. The only issue was the atmosphere but can’t complain for the price. Very competitive and a great option.“

“Great lunch! Delicious, great price, large tasty portions great patio seating and friendly atmosphere. Thank you“

“I've had a chance to sample most of the menu and it is delicious. Great music 🎶 on all the time too.“

“I think it’s hands-down the best pizza in the area!
five stars across-the-board the staff was so nice so accommodating and the pizza was mind blowing mouthwatering and tasted amazing!
We spoke about the quality of the pizza for a week.
You could feel with every bite that this pizza was made with a lot of love!
Five stars across-the-board!“

“Full disclosure, I know and really love the owner and his family. However, even if I didn’t , which I do, I’d give this five stars. Pizza is fresh and delicious, the place is spotless and they are always cleaning, portions are plentiful, the falafel is fantastic and I love how they warm up the pita to give the sandwich a nice crunch. Service is great. When we got there no one knew we were friendly with the owner but we were treated as if we were. Everyone was. Fast, efficient and good. Also, love the large seating area in the back. Great spot!“

“Delicious food, fresh laffas, generous portions. Not cheap, but great value. I’ll be back.“

“Fabulousness A must place to go“

“My experience at Zurna Restaurant was truly enjoyable. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance that feels both comfortable and elegant, making it a great place for family dining or casual meetups.

The food was delicious and well-prepared, with rich flavors and good attention to presentation. Each dish tasted fresh and satisfying, reflecting good quality overall.

The staff were polite, welcoming, and provided attentive service throughout the visit. Everything was served in a timely manner, adding to the pleasant experience.

Overall, Zurna Restaurant is a great choice for a relaxing and tasty dining experience. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to visiting again.“

“We were visiting the area and were drawn here by the amazing smells. So many different choices of slices were available. My daughter chose cheese and a pasta topped slice. I chose ricotta/spinach and a mushroom. This place makes the best pizza we’ve ever had!“

“I was in the area for a wake unfortunately. Came out starving and just about 1/4 mile away from the funeral home i found Vegan Grill. The guy making the food was cool, the locals waiting for their orders were laid back and my man who rang us up was polite. Food was good, drinks were cold and the price for everything was fair. Even found some wise onion garlic potato chips..haven't had those in a while. Glad i found this place. Stop in and get some good vegan grub“

“good food“

“Probably the best place to get your sandwich made in the neighborhood! Sandwiches come packed and will always leave you satisfied! I've never had a store be this consistent! They also have a variety of different options for snacks or cold foods, like a mini supermarket.“

“They constantly run a promotion 2 pies with toppings and get 1 regular pie free. Pizza is good but it's not the greatest. Great service staff and the atmosphere, I would describe it as your normal pizza spot with simple seating. You eat your pizza and leave. I will say that your pizza is always fresh, very rare that you will find slices waiting to be warmed up. That's a huge plus for me.“

“Good food reasonably priced.“
