“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“

“Abu Zayn’s crispy beef laffa was straight fire and the chicken one as well I prefer the red meat it’s perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside with that insane crunch on the outside. Honestly one of the best wraps I’ve had in a while. The portions hit, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes fresh. If you’re sleeping on this spot, you’re missing out easily a go-to when I’m craving something light Arab satisfying, and actually worth the money. Yea it’s pricey but worth it.“

“Honestly, the food here is great. My go to is Honey Chipotle Chicken. Every bite is enjoyable, the portion sizes are large (and cost effective) and the staff are all great to their customers. The small talk doesn't feel forced either.

There's no eating in anymore but honestly it's good that way and I'm all for the business interests so they can keep things running smoothly and I can keep coming back for years to come.“

“I love this restaurant :) the owners are so nice and the food is delicious“

Each dish was thoughtfully crafted with a blend of flavors and textures that showcased the culinary expertise of the chefs. The presentation was a work of art, with every plate resembling a canvas that had been painted with exquisite precision.The service was impeccable, with the staff exhibiting a genuine passion for their craft.“

“A friend of mine and I had a lovely experience at Laffa Bar and Grill. The outside tent was spacious, the food is plentiful and delicious! I also like the changes they made indoors. It has a very nice ambiance. The Owners are warm and welcoming as well as each of the staff. Service with a smile..how refreshing! The Owners told us they deliver to our town in West Hempstead and cater! Looking forward to going back soon! Keep up the good work everyone!“

“The food is good, the service is good, and I've always enjoyed eating here. However, I note that many, if not most, of the food items are no longer available which leads me to suspect the place is slowly closing down, probably due to lack of customers.“

“Stopped by Grillmark for the first time and had a great experience. The space is clean, modern, and has a relaxed feel that fits perfectly with the whole fresh and healthy concept. The service is great.

We tried a variety of items starting with the Healthy Glow and Green Machine which were both refreshing and a great way to start. The Italian market salad was loaded and really filling, and the Greek salad had all the classics done right. We also had the Mexican salad in a pita which was fresh and something a little different.

For mains, the turkey burger and salmon burger were both solid, clean options that still delivered. The buffalo chicken sandwich added a nice kick. The house made gyro chicken with tzatziki kept things simple and fresh.

We also tried an assortment of skewers including steak, pork, chicken, lamb chops, salmon, shrimp, and swordfish which gave a great mix of everything. The side of house made quinoa tied it all together nicely.

Overall, a great spot if you’re looking for clean, fresh, and filling meals made with quality ingredients. Definitely worth checking out“

“Love this place!! The employees are always so friendly and helpful! The food is EXCELLENT as always, and I'm obsessed with the Buffin muffins ($~6) and overnight oats ($~9), although the latter are a bit too pricey. My favs are the Welcome to the Sno buffin (which tastes like those viral pink squishy chocolate snowball pastries and are good even when frozen, also has a cream filling) and the Fitella overnight oats (very filling). Cash register has some excellent protein bar recommendations next to it, I always grab one. The meals are always good no matter what I get, and they are priced around $11-12. My favorite is the Soho Steakbowl, which comes with marinated steak strips and sweet potato fries, and is $12. I miss the Egg White Muffins, they need to bring them back!!! Same with the Tres Leches buffin!! Whenever I come here I grab 10 meals for a discount, and they last me a work week.“

“The Angry Bird Burger completely lives up to its name—in the best way possible. From the first bite, you get hit with a perfect balance of heat, flavor, and juiciness. The chicken is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The sauce brings just the right level of spice without overpowering everything else, and the toppings add a fresh, satisfying crunch.

The bun holds everything together without getting soggy, which is underrated but crucial. Every component feels intentional, and you can tell there’s real attention to quality. If you’re into bold, spicy flavors with a serious kick, this burger is a must-try. Easily one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I’ve had.

Would 100% order again.“
