“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.“
“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.“
“this is one of the best food places in flushing. we come here every time we visit new york and always get numerous lamb skewers. the skewers are so flavorful and extremely juicy. along with the spiciness, it makes a perfect combination and a true jewel of flushing.lamb skewer (9.5/10)“
“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!!“
“We went late night and really liked the food, beef, lamb, squid skewers were all very flavorful but not overly spicy. Draft beer was very good. It took a while to get out ramen stir fry, but it was pretty tasty! The lamb skewers are pretty big, so don't order too many at first “
“Located on Coney Island Ave in Brooklyn, Dunya Kabab House offers an unforgettable journey through Afghani cuisine. Our iftar experience was exceptional, from the seamless reservation process to the outstanding dishes.The Qabuli Pilau was a standout, boasting impeccable flavor and texture. Tender lamb chops and perfectly seasoned Chapli kababs delighted our taste buds. The lamb shank was a highlight, with meat so tender it fell off the bone effortlessly. The hummus was simply divine, with a delightful hint of olive oil that enhanced its rich flavor profile.Dunya Kabab House sets itself apart with bold flavors and expert spice blends, distinguishing it from other Middle Eastern eateries.“
“The food was so delicious. We really enjoyed it. The service was great. Price is average but we had little problem went there with my kids as fam. A group were having bday dinner and they were very loud couldn’t even hear ourselves during the dinner because everyone was laughing talking so loud. I don’t know how they could handle this kind of problem but still worth to taste delicious foods.Kid-friendliness: Got highchairs“
“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!!“
“Been here a few times, and so glad that this place continues to offer Uyghur food in the heart of Flushing. Mostly have come here so far for their beef/lamb pockets in the setting of a Food Crawl and it's always an interesting fun moment for everyone. While the most recent time we went the meat was not the most tender, it's kind of like an empanada with middle eastern and Chinese flavors combined into one. It wasn't spicy at all, and the onions added a nice touch. The workers are nice and it's def worth a stop because who knows where else you'll be able to find food like this? Definitely want to come back to try the rest of their items. NYC beats other big cities in that we offer a ton of diversity, represented in our food culture and the fact that we have Uyghur food is a blessing, so take advantage of it.“

“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“

“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!“
“Very tasty shish kabobs and salad. Tried 4 different varieties. ... although portions seem small. One sick is 9 $ and it's 3-4 pieces. Or 5-6 but tiny cubes of meat. Overall expensive - 50$ and up for 1 personVegetarian options: Veggies shish kabobs is delicious,???“
“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 ?“
“For a cute date spot with lots of character and good Turkish/american fusion food, this is the spot. The vibes here are immaculate and just throw you back in time to another generation with its decor and music choice.The food was good for the price point. The highlights would definitely be the appetizer tray, which went well with the provide bread, and the fries with ottaman seasoning had a kick that kept me going for more. The lamb and rainbow trout were also great. The baklava was not too sweet and hit the spot at the end!Friendly stuff, clean bathrooms, and overall great experience!“
“Ordered catering for a work event and was given great pricing and attention from the restaurant owner Ramazan. The food was a hit with everyone and left everyone stuffed. As a Turk, this was a trip down memory lane as classics were served in an authentic matter. I personally loved all the food and would love to support the business again. P.S. the baklava is perfect.“
“In one word everything was so perfect!!I arranged a small surprise bridal shower party for my sister and we were all together 15 people and the restaurant and 2 owners did a very good job from helping decorating, serving food to every little details they were aware of.The floral background decoration was already there we just setup the table.Everything was perfectly perfect.Best wishes for the new restaurants and the food was ???Also convenient lication, available parking nearest blocks.Please go and check it out.Parking: I’m front of the restaurant is paid parking availableNearest residential blocks have free street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Anyone with wheelchair can easily get inside.“
“I love the food here. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean/Turkish food. The dimly lit decor there is beautiful. And I must say the service is awesome ?. Our servers made sure that we were good. Me and my friends were here on Old Years Night and had a good time. I took my mom here for her birthday dinner. Trust me, she was pleasantly surprised. I'll always look forward to eating here again and again.??“
“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).“
“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. -------------------------------------------------“
“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“
“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!“
“Thanks to Curtis me and my girlfriend were able to secure a late night meal before they closed. Would definitely recommend their food it's well balanced and filling without leaving you feeling like you overate. Service is good and very quick for the quality. Would recommend takeout.“
“I love a spot that has consistently good food and you know what you're getting- that's Ayat! I always start with their mezze filistini which is served with their fresh hot outa bread! Their mixed platter for the main course has been a hit with anyone who I have brought here. It can get pretty packed and I think they have reservation options. In the summer they have a rooftop- deff make reservations for that. Be sure to end your meal with any of their desserts and their tea They have multiple locations now so there are plenty of options to find one that's close you!“
“While have bee to many of similar places this place stands out with its food as being different. Amazing service and great food overall. Compared to similar places the portions are small and more expensive. Great variety of choices. Have to mention the tiramisu separately as until trying theirs could not find one that was done perfectly in quiet some time.“
“This place is great to have late night meal with friends. Average price for their skewers are about $2 which is alright but they do have cheap beers. We love their bean curd salad. Good and fast service. The place isn't super clean but not too bad.“
“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!!!!!“

“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.“
