“I was so tired so I grabbed the first thing I saw that looked familiar instead of reading the menu or checking out comments. It was beyond burger, which was delicious. After I ordered I saw crab cakes that looked yum, I wish I tried those too. They also had a bunch of desserts that looked good, but I can't eat that much at once. So if I'm ever back in New York I'm definitely coming there again. Service is really good, nice people working there, order ready fast! I definitely recommend this place.“
“I can't recommend this place highly enough. The owner is super friendly and the entire staff is very accommodating and professional. They all make the effort to ensure that everyone enjoys their dining experience. I've been there a few times and have always enjoyed the quality of the food. Definitely check it out!“
“Great place to have seafood . Food is very delicious . I had a dragon roll which was good size . Bass was melting in my mouth and buttery but lacked seasoning. Fries very good size but not crispy. They need to work on fries . Greek salad was more of tomato salad than Greek salad . Lacking major Mediterranean elements .Dietary restrictions: Kosher“
“Vegetarian options: They definitely had them!Kid-friendliness: We were able to bring my six week old niece. The restaurant was quiet and calm, the baby slept straight through our family’s meal and we didn’t feel weird about having the kid at all“
“Got a pastrami and a corned beef sandwich. Wow. Very tender and very flavorful. The mustard was also delicious. Will absolutely be coming back for more. Absolute must try if you like Jewish deli sandwiches. The family that runs this place is also very nice.“
“I brought a group of customers here for a dinner and could not have been more impressed. The service was not only excellent but also proactive (as in they brought us appetizers to hold us over until we could pick our appetizers, all without even being asked). The food was also top notch and overall very reasonably priced for a fleishik place. I will absolutely be bringing more clients here in the future!Dietary restrictions: Kosher meat“
“Best Matbucha sauce / Dip in history. Better than anything I've ever found in Israel. Their Branzino is amazing, Date Fruit chicken, Shawarma, Chimmi Churi Chicken, Brisket, Stuffed Peppers, Chicken Poppers, Baxsh meat rice is out of this world. Best Morroacan Israeli meat Kosher restaurant ever. ALON is a master Chef. This place is a 10 Stars for catering take out.“
“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.“
“I ordered food for an event at my house for 50 people. I was helped by Roman and he was a pleasure to work with. He gave me suggestions on what to choose and how much I would need. We went with hot pass around appetizers, wrap/sandwich platters, salads, fruit and cookies. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be ordering again!“
“I've lived in NYC for over ten years and this is the best tasting pizza I've found so far. The pizza man there, Ciro makes delicious pizza every time, and, speaking from personal experience, he makes it the way it should be made. Handsome guy too. I recommend you go visit.“
“I have eaten here and ordered out to go , first and foremost its theSame to stay or with ubereats same experience same food , secondlyas somone who has eaten all over kosher New York i can say confidentlyI can taste and tell when a place has a owner pouring his heartInto the experience of ordering at his restaurant, and this is one of those places.“
“The warm embrace of the owner of this charming cafe reminded me of the very best of the Israeli family feeling of decades ago. It was like walking into a time machine of feelings and tastes, while at the same time experiencing the depth of flavors developed over the past few decades. Everything was better than the memories and I walked out feeling nourished nutrionally, culturally, and more importantly by a sense of connection to our great Jewish family.“
“My inaugural visit to The Canteen in Brooklyn was nothing short of a culinary revelation. Established in 2015, this kosher fast-food gem has undoubtedly set the standard for a new era of high-quality and delectable kosher delights in NYC.From the moment I stepped into The Canteen, the lively atmosphere and enticing aromas hinted at the gastronomic journey awaiting me. The restaurant's commitment to providing high-quality kosher fast food was evident from the diverse menu, boasting a tantalizing array of options that went beyond the typical fast-food fare.The standout dish that stole the show was the country-fried schnitzel. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor, it was a true testament to The Canteen's dedication to elevating traditional favorites. Each bite was a harmonious dance of textures and tastes, showcasing the culinary prowess behind this Brooklyn establishment.The pulled-beef brisket and burgers were equally impressive, offering a savory symphony of seasoned meat and carefully selected toppings. The meticulous attention to detail in crafting each dish was apparent, as every component contributed to the overall deliciousness.A particular highlight that cannot be overlooked was the nationally renowned soft beef jerky. The Canteen has perfected the art of creating tender, flavorful jerky that sets a new standard for this classic snack. It's a must-try for any beef jerky enthusiast or someone looking to experience this culinary marvel for the first time.The Canteen succeeds not only in delivering exceptional flavors but also in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff exuded friendliness and efficiency, ensuring that my first visit was a memorable and enjoyable experience. The dedication to customer satisfaction was evident, making it clear why The Canteen has become a cornerstone of kosher fast food in NYC.“
“Yes, this is one of the more expensive steakhouses in the 5T BUT I enjoyed everything about it. The ambience was great - quiet and nice lighting. Tried out a bunch of items on the menu and thought each one was excellent! Steak was made perfectly, which is probably their go-to product.“
“This was one of the most delicious experiences I’ve had. I’m vegetarian and the appetizers were flavorful, and each unique in taste. The main dish I had (cauliflower shawarma on frena bread) was also flavorful and filling. Ah, and the hummus was unbelievable.The young lady that served us was super hospitable and knowledgeable about the dishes, and recommended some great options.Can’t wait to go back there again.“

“Since moving to the area, Nana's is one place that is consistently fantastic and everyone I bring here raves about it. Simple, yes, but freshly made, flavorful, and healthy isn't always easy to find when you're trying to grab a quick bite.I think the way the menu is laid out is a bit confusing if you've never been. Once you understand how to navigate that, it's smooth sailing.My regular order is the Mu'shwarma, pita or platter depending on how I feel that day. I am pescatarian and love that they don't use artificial fake meat, but this dish is just really well flavored mushrooms. Their platters are great because you can choose so many sides, and they REALLY stuff their pitas, so I think either one works, depending on what mood I'm in. If you get the platter, you can choose pita or pita chips on the side. Their pita chips are fresh and the best I've ever tasted. I'm not usually a drink gal, but I love their Limonana so I do order it quite frequently. Very refreshing and made with all fresh ingredients. Not overly sugary or anything. I've tried a bunch of their salads/salatim and they are all amazing, but the Babaganoush is a MUST. I'm not always a fan of the dish because of the texture but theirs is the best I've ever had. So flavorful and fantastic. Any of the spicy salads (spicy tomato) are actually quite spicy, so be aware. There isn't so much of an ambiance here as there's 1-2 tight tables and it's definitely more of a to go place, although I have dined in and eaten outside when weather permits. There is no table service. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but I can often stretch one of their meals to 2 and the ingredients are so fresh and so delicious, so it is worth the price. Don't expect any $7 street cart pitas here though! I've taken my parents and several friends and everyone that has been has only raved about how fresh and delicious it is, so it's a must go to and a neighborhood staple for me.“
“What a great bakery. The meat pies were fantastic, and also the pumpkin hand pies. Very flavorful and filling. I was on a Queens tour (from Albany) and was able to get behind the scenes of the kitchen and how they make the breads. Very cool! It was wonderful to see the process and the oven used for baking the meat pies and bowl like different sized breads. It was off the beaten path, and it is so worth visiting.“
“I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, and the service was exceptional. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality offered. While the food was a bit inconsistent, with some dishes shining while others fell short, overall, it was a very good experience. I would definitely “
“Very tasty breakfast with a large selection. We were here every morning to start the day. French toast and bagels are highly recommended! Also a smoothie to go ? very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. As you can see, we would love to come back!“
“Nice simple place to gether with family and friends. I tried dozens of our russian diners in Queens, this particular place is #1 for Lagman, Lagman is extremely good, made with hand-made noodles and very delicious, decent portions. I tried lamb samosa their samosa looks beautiful but has little more onions than meat inside, Pilov was made well very delicious.real Uzbek pilov cooked on open wood fire, here pilov tastes better than most other places. They have better cooks. Good looking plates and silverware, perfect service, 5 stars overall ✨“
“Fastest fast food in Five Towns!Had a 40 minute drive ahead of me, and thought it would be a good idea to stop and grab some supper to go. This place is neat and clean. No long lines waiting for food (or to PAY) like other places in Five Towns. I told the guy behind the counter that I need a generous food portion to eat while I'm driving. So he suggested the shawarma laffa. When he asked what I want inside, I said the 'works'. By the time I filled up my salad container and washed hamotzi, the laffa was ready to go. Eating it before it gets soggy is the key to success with this. Because if it happens, it'll be a mess. This shawarma laffa was a magnificent cylinder of craftsmanship filled with shawarma, salad, fries, fried onions, chumus, and more. And it was wrapped so well, that I could peel it a little bit at a time and eat while driving. One hand on the wheel, the other holding the laffa. The skill employed by the staff to make this and speed at which you can be served makes this one of the most underrated fast food joints in Five Towns.“
“We had lunch with friends total 4 people, salmon, chicken wings and lamb kebab were all delicious, bread and hummus were tasty too.Service and environment were great! This is our second time to come here, definitely will come back again!!“
“We got a falafel plate and pita. The falafels stayed soft yet crunchy on the outside, and were filled with amazing flavors and spices. Genuinely, it was the best falafel I’ve had, and I think it will be hard to top.The salad, pita and hummus were very authentic and great on their own. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. ?“
“Came here with my family for lunch. We loved it! Charming and relaxing atmosphere, kind and efficient service, and most importantly: the food was so delicious and reasonable. We especially loved the samsa, achik-chuk, and lagman. 5 stars, no notes.“
“I've been going to Elite Pizza for years, and I've always been impressed with the quality of the food. The pizza is my favorite, but I've also had the pasta, sushi, and sandwiches, and they've all been delicious. The crust is always thin and crispy, and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful.The service at Elite Pizza is also excellent. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and they're always happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere at the restaurant is casual and relaxed, so it's a great place to go for a casual meal with friends or family.Overall, I highly recommend Elite Pizza to anyone looking for delicious kosher pizza.“
“I heard a lot about this pizza place so I decided to take the drive from Connecticut to taste it and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed the pizza here is amazing as well as the fries and the fried dough if you're ever in the area don't go to any other pizza place than this one“
“Excellent food, service, and ambiance! Was in the area the other day, searched for Avocado Toast and it did not disappoint!! It was incredibly difficult to find, since the store is not labeled outside, but when I did, I went inside and the menu is updated from what is currently on Yelp. The staff were all very friendly, and accommodating. The flavors were totally unique and cannot wait to visit again!!“
“I've frequented this place several times, often with large groups. The service consistently impresses with its friendliness and attentiveness. Our go-to orders typically include Cali Poppers, Margarita pizza, Fettucine Alfredo, and more, all of which never disappoint. It's become our go-to spot for celebrations, and we plan to keep coming back for more happy occasions.“
“Tiny, take out kosher Jewish food spot. They used to have 1-2 small tables to eat your awesome sandwich & kugel at. The health dept said they are not licensed for eat-in, tho, so they sadly had to remove it. Great brisket sandwiches & great sides.“
“I went here for Hanukkah to get some fresh made latkes and was very pleasantly surprised by the size and how delicious they were. I tried both the traditional potato and the falafel latkes, along with a tray of assorted bourekas. Everyone loved all of the delicious goodies from Geffen!“
“One of the rare kosher eateries I'm aware of serves cheeseburgers, which is a unique find. However, sometimes they can be a bit soggy. It's essential to enjoy them right away to fully appreciate their delicious flavor.Parking: Parking right in front is meter parking until night time perhaps 6/7pm, depending on how many people are out could need to double park to run in and just grab the food“

“Great food especially the laffa's but beware they include a mandatory 18% tip in the bill and then give you a additional receipt asking if you want to give a tip for 18%, 32% ect.. not mentioning that they already included 18% on the bill!“
“Very convenient location and fast service. The older gentleman at the counter taking our orders was super nice which helped us be patient while he struggled to put in our orders. The food was fantastic all around, I have absolutely zero complaints. It smelled so good in there (air freshener) I couldn't even smell the food cooking which made me nervous but I had nothing to worry about because it ended up being great. I especially loved the cinnamon on the grilled pineapple. The rice bowl was well balanced and seasoned to perfection. I could continue to rave about this place but you can just try it for yourself. P.S my friend said her left overs of the rice bowl was a bit greasy so I recommend eating everything fresh although that may be hard because it's a hefty serving of food.“
“Best pizza in Queens (especially the Gary Pizza)!! I come for their "you think it, we make it" attitude and service! Ask for Aaron, he's the best there is! Always helpful and with a smile. Plus their cinnamon sticks and cookies n' cream dessert pie are mouth watering!“
“Visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening. It was very busy. We ordered a whole pizza pie, which was ready in minutes. The cost was high, but for kosher pizza it makes sense. Food was great. Highly recommend for a good kosher pizza.Parking: Metered parking during the business week. Weekends are free. May have to park a block away during busier times.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly. Lots of seating for families.“
“Wow, my new favorite indian restaurant.Massive vegetarian selection. I tried the samosas which were good. but their garlic naan was the best bread ive ever tasted. Super fresh and fluffy, yet crispy. I ate the chana masala which was above expectations. The flavors were great and everything tasted freshly made.Service was ok, the employees were attentive and helpful.I will definitely be back. Very well run establishment in the heart of jackson heights.The actual restaurant vibe is ok, seats could be upgraded they are not very comfortable, the place was clean, restrooms were clean and ventilated. The doors need to be cleaned but the restroom itself was very clean which is always a good sign! Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian options like most indian cuisine. Any vegetarian or vegan will find plenty of options that taste fantastic!“
“Really good fast food, literally fast everything came at once smoking hot potato skins, dyno ribs, chiken wings, meat pizza (pulled beef). Corn muffins side and green beans so good. I took corn muffins home and had them 2 days later from microwave, still good! Everything, including drinks under $120-130. Beef jerky, $15/pack Really taste amazing but for some reason I had diarrhea 2x from beef jerky alone, not bad just something off with it. Definitely coming back!“
“Food? Fantastic! Great pizza, side and salads.Service? Superb! Food was hot and ready for 20 peeps within minutes.Atmosphere? Amazing! The music choices were on point! We came to celebrate a marriage after the fact...the guy in charge overheard and started playing "death of a bachelor" ? perfect“
“Some of the best Georgian and Russian food in NYC. Everything I've had here is bursting with flavor and the soups never disappoint. Fried pelmeni from the side orders is my favorite appetizer and the boneless chicken breast Shish Kabob is some of the best chicken I've eaten in my entire life.While not "cheap" everything on the menu is great value. It's one of the most affordable restaurants in the city and the quality is amazing.“
“Service is amazing. Orders are ALWAYS ready quicker than the estimate.Special shout out.. I once forgot to take my drink for a lunch special & called to let them know.. About 6 weeks later I was there and mentioned that I once forgot my drink so I would like it now. They asked for my tel #, looked it up and said "Yup! We have a note on that". That is WAY beyond what you would expect from a Sushi restaurant.Highly reccomend!“
“This place is my go to when visiting my parents. This food is delicious! We usually order platters to go. Our favorites are the steak, kofta kabab, baby chicken, and chicken breast. The staff is so nice they even helped walk my large order to my car.“
“Saw a post on Instagram and decided to try out. Was pleasantly surprised by the service and the food that exceeded our expectations. Our favorite item was the guacamole with plantains. Our Server was very attentive and pleasant. We saw a promotion for a free drink with every meal. I got the limonana and my wife got the strawberry daiquiri which we both loved.“
“Let me tell you how i found this gem. We went to Bua, very famous thai place just beside this restaurant and had very bad appetizers and decided to leave. I left a review to theirs if you wondered what happend.It was raining, saw this place just beside so walked in.Pros:Very clean.Service was quick.Food was A+++++Dude seriously me and my friend finished our plates with no discussions.Cons:Drinks can be improved.We called the food “ amma chethi vanta” in our language Telugu, which is Mom’s home food. It was that good and gave home feels.Atmosphere gavd moroccan vibes.“
“This place is super clean. The staff are friendly. I got the bagel with tuna and some hash browns. The bagel was fresh and great . However the hash browns were very disappointing they look amazing but lack on flavor. The coffee is has that great aromatic coffee smell that will get you charged up and ready for the day a head. The bakery items are top shelf and highly recommended. The staff clearly care a great deal because they keep this place immaculately clean.“
“Had an amazing experience here. Went for a Melave Malta meal here with some friends while visiting Crown Heights - WOW. Selection and quality of food was great. We tried quite of few dishes, so we got to experience a lot of the menu first hand. EVERYTHING was delicious from the pizza, to the salads, to the breads & various appetizers. Atmosphere was great, and staff was very attentive and friendly. Yossi made sure everything was top notch - not surprised they have so many great reviews ;) Blessings and success!“
“Great quality in terms of flavor and healthiness. I like how they provide just the right amount of meat and load their sandwiches with veggies. The staff are very friendly. Really a gem of a place hidden in a hole in the wall next to the LIRR station and overpass.“
“Very pleasant experience. The entire family enjoyed it. The food was fresh and tasted great. There was food for all ages. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The portion sizes were large. The menu has many options. The dining area was very clean.“
“I celebrated my graduation today in this great restaurant. I am glad to say that we passed a phenomenal evening and the restaurant was certainly one of the reasons for this outstanding evening. The crew cooperated in a very nice manner, the food was appetizing and my friends were very cheerful. We shall absolutely come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.“
“It's ok. The tip was included in the bill and they charged it as 20%. The service was ok and the server was definitely nice but i personally don't think tip should be included. Other than that food was alright. The fish is definitely a 10/10. The macaroni is mediocre at worst, and ok at best. The sushi felt like rubber. I've had better good and service before in this restaurant, maybe today was an off day. I do recommend this place to try it out. The service is not bad like other reviews make it put to be.“
