“Best israeli restaurant in NYC, this place is a hidden gem.My wife and I love hummus, and it was as good as the one we had in Israel.Also, the owners are very kind, they actually watched over my kid while I took the other one the bathroom ?Go!!!“
“DELICIOUS and decently priced!!! Definitely will be coming back!Vegetarian options: This is a meat place so I wouldn't recommend this place for vegetarians but they have vegetarian dishes!!The green beans are amazing the the potato appetizers are deliciousParking: Difficult ish to find spots during business hoursKid-friendliness: Staff was very kid friendly“
“I've been eating here for years, but I've taking a break but yesterday i went back an taste just like I had a year ago. Everything tasted fresh an light ugh I don't really know how to explain it but my mouth is watering just thinking about. I love there white sauce!!! Like ?, I'm going back “
“I recently tried this halal food in the hood, and it exceeded all my expectations! The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and the staff incredibly friendly ,Onik my favourite guy always treats me well , his professionalism is praiseworthy . A true gem for anyone looking for delicious halal options in the neighborhood. Five stars without a doubt!“
“Okay... so I've been trying to find the best afghan food and it's been a struggle. I also don't have much to compare it to but at the same time I know what good food is and let me tell you.... THIS IS IT. It's cool because it's casual vibes. They give everything to you in a to go box so that's interesting, although they have seating for you. I got the beef bargh, chicken tikka and the lamb chops with my party. And omg the only thing they are missing are mantoos! But I am willing to drive from Astoria for this place so that says it all. It was SO SO good. I took my leftovers home and immediately devoured it and followed my meal with a food coma. Certainly want to gate keep this place but they deserve the recognition.“
“The food here is beyond valid, I'd go ahead and say it was exemplary. Yummy food, super friendly service, everything is perfect. I've eaten from here a couple times, the tacos are my favorite tbh, but so far I haven't had a single disappointijg item from the menu“
“My kids, who are young, don't even like falafel. They each inhaled three (one complimentary at the truck, and two from the kabab platter) and it really is the best falafel I've ever had. I'm sad we didn't get to try the beef kabab but they were basically sold out of almost everything, so we had the chicken and it was AMAZING. I've passed by this truck multiple times when I come into Queens to visit my parents and never tried it and now I don't think I can ever go home without buying some to take with me.“

“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.“
“OMG so delicious! It was my first time trying Indian food and the butter chicken with rice and garlic naan was like a warm hug to my soul. This place is great can’t wait to come back. My only critique is that I would’ve loved more chicken with my order it’s sliced thin and a little too sparse. But it was so yummy I wouldn’t take off a star for this.“
“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.“
“Tried this restaurant because it was close to the hotel we were staying at. Had the dumplings for an appetizer with the complementary bread and sauces. All were incredible, full of flavor. The lamb kabob was also delicious. The chicken kabob would've been better if it came with a sauce, but the flavor was still nice. Services was fast and friendly. Would dine here again.“
“We have tried their food multiple times. It's best when you dine in. They give you a big portion of rice, and meat is fresher. We love their lamb/chicken haneeth. Lamb/chicken mandi and grilled salmon.We have taken a takeout a couple of times. First of all, the rice portion is less compared to what they serve you in restaurant, and meat wasn't fresh both time, sadly. Meat was dry, felt warmed up, and went bad in fridge in one night.I hope they serve equally good quality food for dining in and taking out customers.Parking is a bit hard around them. Restaurant is usually clean. Mostly men are sitting there to eat, so it doesn't give you a family Restaurant vibes. bit, we went in with family multiple times, and the staff was kind, friendly, and accommodating.“
“Just tried this place out tonight. Ordered a mix shawarma, a chicken shawarma and falafel. I didn't expect much from this place, since it was dead and was 1 lady working in the whole place. I was so surprised, the food was so fresh and the shawarma was burrito size. The taste was really good, I only wish I ask for some hot sauce on the side. The falafel was very crispy. Falafel to me are usually dry as he'll, but they give you a super thick white sauce (like cream cheese consistency). Which made the falafel tasted very moist. I didn't take any pics of the food, because I wasn't expecting much. Going back tomorrow to try the chicken biryani, since they only sell that on sat & sun.“
“What a welcoming authentic place! You feel like home here. Every single dish that I tried was particularly delectable. The service is always above and beyond. Such a fair price for hefty portions of food. I highly recommend to everyone and anyone.“
“Typically I use the Uber eats specials buy one get one free because the food is amazing. Combo with rice and salad how you want it and so fresh. They are very generous with their sauces. Staff is always helpful, friendly and polite. I've had their cheesesteak sandwich which is delicious as well. The slices of cake are super delicious.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Wow was I surprised by this place. Went with a girlfriend for lunch and had a great time. We got the Shurpa soup, it only had one piece of meat in it so even though it's cooked with beef & lamb, you don't get both. The fresh herbs in it were delicious! We also got the fresh homemade salad and Korean carrot salads which were both good and grew on you as you eat them, so they just get better during the meal. The steamed dumplings were good and the kabobs were so good! We eat got 3! We stayed for probably close to 2.5 hours and the restaurant didn't mind. It's a great place to meet up with an old friend and catch up on life!“
“My friend and I visited the restaurant on Saturday night and were pleased to find ample street parking. The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated. We were most impressed by the soup - it was delicious! The rest of the menu was also good, although the portions were a bit small for the price.The tea and the dessert were both delicious! The tea came in a small, adorable kettle with two cups, enough for two people, and it was only $4 !I enjoyed my dessert, Lavsh, which was something I had never heard of before, but it was really good.The only downside was the inclusion of a 20% service fee already added to the bill - this type of business should not charge a 20% fee. A more reasonable 12% service fee should be included, and customers can add extra if they feel it is deserved.Overall, the restaurant was a great place with a good location. The food was affordable and tasty, and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, a more reasonable service fee should be included on the bill, as customers should be given the choice to reward the staff more if they feel it is deserved.“
“This was one of the top 2 dinners we had both in the City and in the Hamptons this week and was also the least expensive. We couldn’t believe they have Chilean Sea Bass kabobs, and they are only $13 or $20 for a meal. Excellent. Also the dumpling chicken broth dill soup, baklava, hummus, pickles, fries, hot tea- literally everything was fresh and prepared to perfection. As other reviewers have written, this is a hole in the wall find, and I would come all the way to Queens to eat here again! Very near JFK. Service was fairly quick, clientele mostly large families, takes credit cards. Wonderful Israeli/middle eastern cuisine in a very casual atmosphere at very reasonable prices!“
“Great food! Unfortunately my favorite lamb chop is often burned to the point it’s charcoal and they are cheap on the sauce. If I forget to ask for extra sauce and go home with a takeout, it’s a pretty bad experience since the food is dry. Can definitely become way better restaurant with minor changes.“
“Super good food. Highly recommend trying the jerk chicken over rice combo. It comes with pita bread and a drink. Price was on point, super affordable. The jerk chicken was fire! The price was perfectly cooked. Make sure to add their signature Dragon sauce. Highly recommend this spot.“
“For more than a decade, I've been a loyal patron of Grill Point, and their signature Shawarma sandwich continues to impress with its consistent deliciousness over time. The fact that everyone I introduce to this gem enjoys it speaks volumes about the consistent quality of their food. I wholeheartedly endorse Grill Point to anyone seeking the finest Shawarma around.“
“10/10 halal food experience!! Phenomenal chicken over rice! Everything from the rice to salad and chicken to the white sauce was amazing. As a Native New Yorker, I'm a stickler for Halal food and this was quality. Sitting right in the border between Queens and LI, worth the stop.Pro tip:Save your leftovers for the morning, heat in the oven and throw an over easy egg on top and you have a wonderful breakfast!“
“This is a small restaurant that serves tremendous flavor. The food was absolutely perfection. I decided to have the rotisserie chicken with rice topped with vegetables and it came with soup (marag) and salad, side of lemon and Yemeni hot sauce. Very generous portion and delicious. Hands down would go back to Bronx just to eat here. The rice was fluffy and aromatic and the chicken was roasted well and juicy. Service was fast and nice. Lots of drinks to choose from including Yemeni products and a self serve tea station. Basbousa was sweet and soft.“
“Amazing I had the Mix kabob platter chicken and lamb, with rice, super good They gave me this white sauce and green sauce that complemented the whole meal Served with bread and this spinach that made it all come together, definitely recommend, the older lady that makes the food is such a sweetheart, definitely coming back Thank you Pamir Kabab“
“Delicious, fresh chicken and lamb, perfectly seasoned and cooked, and served with a smile. Quality of the meats is above the usual cart fare, and it makes a big difference. We eat a LOT of halal cart food, and Abdul offers some of the best we’ve had. If you’re in the area (or flying out of JFK and have some extra time), it’s worth a small detour.“
“I've been really wanting to check out this place, and it did not disappoint. I opted for the Chicken Kebab, which included grilled chicken chunks and seasoned chicken breast on skewers, served with rice and a side salad with a tasty dressing. The service was excellent too. I'd totally suggest giving this place a try.“
“I've been here a few times for the falafal sandwich with pickles. I love that this place is open. I just wish they wouldn't run out of their pies so early! Really affordable prices for fresh delicious food. The convenience of parking on the premises. A ridiculously large variety of beverages. Clean tables & chairs to sit. Free mint tea as you wait, and they have kulfi! No more needs to be said! Happy Yelping!“
“There chicken is delicious. WOW, much better than Popeyes or KFC.. the staff is friendly. I highly recommend them. ? Yummy. The cheesecake is also great.Kid-friendliness: Kids love it there.Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair can get in.“
“Love this place. The atmosphere is great, food is amazing, and staff is super helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place for authentic Yemeni and Mediterranean dishes.Kid-friendliness: There is definitely meals to satisfy those kids picky choices.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to use.“
“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!“
