My family and I have been coming to Halal Kitchen for over 20 years. The ambiance and decor are…read morerusty and worn-down and the restaurant no longer offers delivery services (Thanks a lot, Grubhub and UberEats!) so for me, I hop on the Q58 to get to Maspeth. In my opinion, while the prices have fluctuated in the upward direction, the menu items have remained solid and stable. The woman behind the counter, Sana, appears genuine and attentive to a party's needs. Because it is halal, this restaurant is quite popular with patrons from South and Central Asia as well as the Middle East.

This is the only Chinese restaurant outside of Chinatown that doesn't put MSG in their food that I…read moreknow of. (Even a little gives me horrible migraines) When food has quality ingredients and is seasoned properly there's no reason for it to be used. Also, their food is fresh and not greasy.

Omar, who I believe is the manager, truly goes above and beyond to make every visit special. The sweet chili wings are perfection. Their burgers are always on point, and the steak with peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes is absolutely delicious. If you're not in the mood for steak, the stuffed Cajun chicken is an amazing option. On top of that, the ambiance has such a nice, calming vibe that makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

I went during Ramadan with my partner to break my fast, and they were so accommodating. Tip: call them to make a quick reservation beforehand. Next, onto the food. We ordered the dumplings, lamb stew with naan, and their special noodles. Everything was absolutely mind blowing. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and fell right off the bone. The bread was soaked in flavor. The noodles are perfect for a cold night. The noodles are mixed in house and fresh, and you can definitely taste the difference in fresh noodles and store brought. Their service was impeccable. Our host was gracious and greeted us in Arabic as soon as we walked in. He took our order fairly quickly, and the food did not take that long to come out. Whenever he spoke, he had his hand over his heart and was so friendly. I cannot speak anything but praise about this place. It's amazing and I plan to go there soon again with my whole family. Everything was delicious and this restaurant could easily be one of the top 10 restaurants I've ever been to in my life.

Made fresh just like everything else, but the flaky crust filled with well seasoned meat, was literally one of the best bites I had in a long time!! Qorima noodle dish was packed with spices and the beef was soooo tender! When you walk in, you are immediately immersed in a cultural experience. From the furniture to the historical articles of clothing and instruments hung on the wall, you feel like you are in another world. The staff were so warm and provided us delicious recommendations! Definitely a saved spot on my list!

I was missing nyc halal food after moving to NC…read more I searched where I can get the best halal truck food in queens. Though this was t truck food it was a great choice. I've had a lot of halal in Queens and this is hands down my new favorite spot! Not only are the workers friendly but the clientele they attract are also nice and welcoming and chatty and really live this spot as well. I ordered the chicken platter as is with extra white sauce and a side of white sauce. Yes, that sauce is amazing!! You can eat there but i took my order to go. It did not disappoint! Flavor of rice chicken and fries were awesome! Fries held up even after taking it home and being covered in takeout container. My only gripe is the chicken to rice ratio. Wayyy more rice than chicken. I would love them to be more equal so I don't have so much rice to throw out/save after. The platter was a meal enough for two! And for a great price. Definitely coming back!

Sumatera (formerly Sky Cafe) has new owners but they've retained the Chefs from Sky Cafe!…read more Sumatera's menu is slightly different, portion sizes are slightly smaller, and prices have gone up (as with every other restaurant now a days). BUT the food is still fantastic! Great Indonesian restaurant with an intriguing menu! This family run restaurant is smallish but can probably seat around 26 people. Probably not ideal for multiple large groups at the same time but we made reservations early, and easily got a reservation for 8ppl. These were our shared menu choices (shared by 4ppl): ~ Salad Daun Teh Hijau $14 (green tea leaf salad w.cabbage, tomatoes, beans & green chillies): tasty Indonesian version of the tea leaf salad! I prefer the Burmese version but this salad was pretty tasty! ~ Nasi Lemak Rendang $17.75 (Beef Rendang w.spicy egg, anchovy, pickles; w.coconut rice): the portion size of beef rendang was very small but this dish was probably not meant for sharing, and more of an individual plate. It was delicious, nonetheless less! The accompaniments were terrific!! ~ Nasi Iga Bakar $22 (BBQ Ribs w.white rice): after seeing an IG video, this particular dish was on our radar! As with most social media, it heightened our expectations but it did not meet those expectations. Don't get me wrong: this was still a delicious dish; just not as great as depicted on those dang videos. lol The ribs could have been cooked a tad bit longer for tenderness but the flavors were great! ~ Nasi Goreng Petai $19 (fried rice w.shrimp & stinky beans): I've never had this dish before and the "stinky beans" weren't Stinky at all! Hahaha The large shrimps in the fried rice were perfect. Tasty dish! ~ Mie Goreng Belacan $17.50 (stir-fried shrimp paste noodles): This was a fave dish amongst the group. So flavorful and satisfying! * Don't sleep on the two hot sauces provided on your condiments tray! The bottle of Sambal Asli hot sauce was great; slightly sweet but spicy! BUT... beware of the other nondescript hot sauce in the squeeze bottle...which was FIRE!!! If you can handle this FIRE, then go for it...otherwise, proceed with caution! Hahaha. You've been warned! Service and hospitality were great; friendly, welcoming and efficient. I look forward to a return visit to explore their many other menu items!

Cozy little hole in the wall place with very kind and friendly staff. Food comes out pretty quickly and portions are on point along with the tastiness. We ordered - Wings, Calamari, Thai Fried rice w/beef, basil fried rice w/chicken, drunken noodle w/shrimp, and Siam (I think) noodles w/beef. All were good - the Siam noodles were okay for me because it tasted like maagi noodles IYKYK. #nostalgia Parking is a bit difficult to find in that neighborhood, but you'll get it a block or two away. They are also due for a complete renovation. Nontheless, try them out!

It was uncomfortable since our knees bumped into the table. However, we did not have to wait! We had immediate service any time we wanted it because someone was always behind the bar. Food (5/5): This is the best Indian food I've had in Queens!! Every since dish is packed with flavor, depth in the sauce and meats, and reasonably priced!! I liked how much sauce was in every dish. Samosa was perfect. The Goat Mandras was my favorite with a sauce that has spice but not super spicy considering the red chili symbol. Chicken Tikka was also very good. My garlic naan was SO good, has a crunch on one side but airy soft to bite. Unlimited little rice bowls?! This will be our go-to Indian after our first experience.
