“The best kebabs in the US so far! I had the Goat Doori kebab sheermal and it melted in the mouth with so many flavors. Its a must eat here. The Andhra Chilli Chicken is really hot and spicy. Do mention spice level for chilli chicken if not you will experience the spice level like never before. I loved the saffron pancakes with the dry ice on it with beautiful presetation. The sweet potato chat was good too. Overall Super tasty food items on the menu. I would defintiely try others next time.“
“Had lunch here on a rainy day with my mother. Not my first time at the restaurant and my mothers first time having Mediterranean cuisine. I enjoyed it just as much as previously , the food and service does not disappoint.The chicken soup , haloumi salad, mezze plate and the grill plate made me feel happy. Meat was perfectly cooked , soft and just the perfect amount of sides. The portions are big and definitely worth the price. Highly recommend this restaurant. Oooh, and the pistachio pizza with the spicy honey - it deserves a separate review. Loved every minute of my lunch.“
“Caravan Uyghur Cuisine is a locally owned halal restaurant in the heart of FiDi. They offer authentic Uyghur dishes and appetizers. For dinner we ordered the Big Chicken plate and the spicy beef noodles.The quality of the food makes up for the delayed wait time in service. Expect a wait, but the quality of the food is worth it!Dietary restrictions: Halal options available“
“Wow! A friend and l stumbled across this place by accident and couldn’t be happier inshallah ! Food is fresh , and feeds the soul. John , at the register served us as if we were coming to dine in his home. 10 out 10!!! High recommend, lm sure you’ll agree!!“
““German Doner Kebab offers a delightful fusion of traditional flavors with a modern twist. The succulent meats, wrapped in warm, fluffy bread, are a true delight for the taste buds. Each bite bursts with a harmonious blend of spices and textures, leaving you craving more. The generous portions and friendly service make it a top choice for a quick and satisfying meal. Whether you’re a kebab connoisseur or new to the cuisine, German Doner Kebab is sure to leave a lasting impression.”The restaurant designed well. Döner was tasty but not like the classical Turkish döner or not like the Turkish döner in Germany. It was so spicy. It tasted like Indian food but it was tasty. Tastes good really but it's not like döner. It's something else but they call it German döner. Instead of that it was good experience to be there. I think I will go there again to taste the others. I tried chicken, the original chicken. It's name is the original. It was really good. One portion was not enough for me. If they will have one and a half it would be great but they don't have. You can just get one or two but two is more for me.“The restaurant’s design is appealing and sets a welcoming atmosphere. However, while the Döner was tasty, it diverged from the classical Turkish or German Döner, leaning towards spicier Indian flavors. Despite the deviation, the food was enjoyable, offering a unique twist on the traditional dish. I particularly savored ‘The Original Chicken,’ which lived up to its name with its flavorful taste. Portion sizes were generous, although an option between one and a half portions would be appreciated for those with bigger appetites. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I look forward to returning to sample more of their offerings.”“
“I am a chicken girl and can completely without reservation recommend any and all chicken dishes and sandwiches on the menu. I have had them all over and over. Also the French fries and green salad. They are my go to usually twice a week.Believe the listed menu needs to be updated price wise but still the best deals in town. A HuGE plus you have the Richard Tucker (google him) Park right across the street for seating. Linda“
“I came across this restaurant on my way home and I stopped by to get take out and i got hummus and falafel. I want to say the food was really great and should definitely try the mint lemonade. The food was nice and fresh with great customer service ans everything was done on perfect timing. I 100% reccommend eating here, will be coming back!!“
“This place is cozy and has an amazing variety of Mediterranean cuisine. Excellent service!The pita is perfectly soft and goes very well with their homemade hummus and baba ganoush. Every dish is authentic and delicious. From their fresh mint lemonade to their dessert, everything was wonderful. I hope they stay around for a long time because we’ll be eating here more often. Thank you!“

“I recently had dinner at the restaurant and it was a pleasant experience. The papaya and shrimp salad was quite spicy, and the cashew chicken dish, although excellent, could have been better with the addition of pineapple. Although the service was out of the ordinary, the food definitely made up for it. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning there on my next trip“
“Sami's Kebab House offers a delightful array of Afghan cuisine, featuring traditional dishes bursting with flavor. Their kebabs, grilled to perfection and seasoned with a blend of spices, are tender and succulent, offering a taste of authenticity with every bite. The menu also includes classics like Mantu, savory dumplings filled with seasoned meat and topped with a tangy yogurt sauce, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Don't miss their aromatic Kabuli Pulao, a fragrant rice dish infused with spices and topped with tender meat, carrots, and raisins, showcasing the rich and diverse flavors of Afghan cuisine.The owner’s (Sami) personal touch extends beyond the menu, as he takes the time to recommend dishes based on each diner’s preferences, ensuring a truly personalized dining experience. Their passion for Afghan cuisine shines through in every dish, making Sami’s Kebab House a destination worth revisiting time and time again.“
“I had tried a few different places to get my chicken over rice with salad and hands down this is the best that I have ever ever tasted great price for the amount you get I highly recommend this truck and my co workers also ordered food and everything was great thank you for “
“Such a lovely dinner! Food made my mouth water and had so much flavor. I had the hummus and chicken, both fantastic. Highlight was when the team brought me out a sample of the fesenjoon at the end of the meal because they wanted me to try it and I’d been torn at the start of the meal. Absolutely worth it. Very cozy, will certainly be back!“
“I have been passing by this small restaurant for the past 4 years and wanting to try it out. Finally I went and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the small restaurant, which doesn’t look like much from the outside has amazing Mediterranean Turkish food. I was very impressed. Everything was fresh And delicious. This is definitely gem in the ruff . The restaurant is very welcoming and comfi . It’s a family business, and Adam was very helpful and pleasant as a waiter and he told me that his family owns the business. They take a lot of pride in the food that they serve. Also the price for what I paid for lunch was a great deal I got a Shepherds salad. Chicken kebab with rice, and another grain called Bulgar. they also gave me on the house a Turkish custard, which was very delicious. The lunch also comes with a soda. This is a must try hotspot, especially for lunch. I will definitely be back to eat the delicious Turkish food.“
“Best Mediterranean food experience, such a delicious food really like the octopus and salmon everything so tasty and fresh. Like the service waiters are so friendly and professional. Highly recommend for who is looking unforgettable food experience.“
“Literally one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in NYC (and I've been to a lot)! We ordered 5 Mezze options (potato, cauliflower , baba ganouj, labne, and hummus) to form a platter and everything was phenomenal. My boyfriend thought he didn't like baba ganoush until he tried it at this restaurant! This will definitely become a regular spot for us!Vegetarian options: All of the Mezze options are vegetarian, and they have many veg entrees and sides as well!“
“this chicken donair was a late night hero.amazing taste from the freshly carved chicken off the spit, to the veggies and sauces it was paired with. the bread being sort of sandwich style made it hard to eat, but it all got in my mouth by the end ?“
“We felt like we were transported to a Northwoods Wisconsin supper club. We knew the original Turk’s Inn owners. Thank you for carrying on their legacy.Loved the cheese cloud. Eclectic wine list that was a perfect complement to the cuisine. Char grilled steak and old fashioned fries were great.What we most enjoyed was the unique atmosphere and friendly staff.“
“We visited this restaurant once and now we always order from there.They deliver on time.Our favourite is kaju masala(highly recommended).fried momos,kali mirch paneer .Food is delicious ?.Vegetarian options: Good quality vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The environment and sitting is kid friendly.“
“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“
“Known as "Party BBQ" in English: Located on Broadway, between 45th Ave & Whitney Ave., in Elmhurst (in front of the Asian Supermarket which has its own parking lot).This BBQ lot has been here for years and has quite a large following. There's always a line of ppl patiently waiting for their BBQ goodness! On this Tuesday evening at around 7:30pm, it was no exception; there were about 8 ppl on line. But don't let that deter you from ordering your BBQ Skewers! The line moves surprisingly quickly. This is a one man show and he was hustling! Kudos to the hardworking gentleman making our BBQ Kebabs, and don't forget to tip him!On this visit, we tried their Beef and Lamb Kebabs ($1.75 each). We asked for the kebabs with cumin and extra spicy. These were so flavorful and delicious! My only complaint is that some pieces were very fatty but very good nonetheless.I will definitely be looking for this cart the next time I'm in the area. Looking forward to trying their other skewers! (See my photos for their menu offerings).“
“Used to come to this spot a lot. But stopped going because of problematic personnel. Decided to give this another shot and the guy is genuinely nice. Got my usual combo over rice (chicken + lamb). Chicken was good and the guy didn't over sauce my plate. Happy to come again as long as the service is good.Cheers“
“We ordered tahdig with gheimeh bademjan which was perfect. Tahdig was awesome. We also ordered koobideh, we liked it, but it was not the best we had in persian restaurants. Service was very good. We asked for more grilled tomato and they added 2 more grilled tomato for no extra charge.“
“Don’t sleep on this place!Located on a small side street in rego park it can be easily missed without knowing about it. The decor is what my interior design friend described as resembling a turkish marketplace.This place offers some amazing authentic Kosher Bukharian cuisine. They have their own tandoor ( stone oven ) to make fresh bread Liposhka and Samsa.Menu offers everything you might want from lagman, shurpa, samsa, plov, 7 types of shashlik, manty and more! All delicious.I suggested they add a dessert option to extend the meal experience.“
“My family orders chicken kebab & it never ever disappoints!! It’s a perfect meal and family run restaurant that understands what a family wants! We do take out and they put together the meals family style so we can enjoy a family meal together at home. So so delicious, fresh & absolutely superb.“
“Significantly better than the first time I tried this chain at another location. The rice was a little al dente for my taste, but the meat was seasoned well and it definitely did the trick. They understood when I asked them to be careful about cross-contamination because I have celiac and need to make sure my food is gluten-free, but they didn’t seem very happy about it!Dietary restrictions: GF options marked but staff aren’t very reassuring, and bread is present in the kitchen“
“Amazing food!!! I love Turkish food and I always want to try the adana kebab from different places. Lokanta so far has the best adana kebab and delicious appetizers. Fast delivery, fresh and warm. Will definitely keep ordering and want to try other dishes. Totally will recommend Lokanta as one of the best Turkish grills in NYC. Dont forget to try their baklava!!!!!“
“I tried this restaurant during my visit to New York. I was very lucky that the restaurant is only six minutes drive it’s a cozy small restaurant staff is very welcoming and the food is a top-notch Persian cuisine.Would highly recommend it if you’re looking for some fine Persian food.“
