    I got the mix platter, which honestly was just okay. The meat tasted mediocre, sauces could've been more flavorful, and the fries were soggy. Portions are huge though, so each platter can easily be split into 2 meals. Come here for quantity, not quality.

    Quite possibly the best halal spot in Queens. Open late, I tried their lamb and chicken combo at only $10. It was an enormous amount of food, that no possible way one person can finish. The rice was well seasoned, lamb was juicy and chicken was tasty. The salad was the freshest I ever had from a halal place, tasted like Mediterranean salad from a Greek restaurant. Make sure to try their special Huncho's sauce with the white sauce!

    im quite speachless. maybe emotional. this meal changed my life. i'm a lifelong customer; i'm taking my ass to Astoria every week for this. Hunchos mannnnn, theyre doing it right. Affordable, big portions, flavor forward, with good quality and such a kind staff. Blown away. Ordered the lamb & chicken platter, and the spicy fried chicken sandwhich for less than $20. Platter came with fries and some salad. So good. juicy, flavorful, the best halal ive had in NYC. Chicken sandwhich was great! Tender, tangy, great crunch. I don't know, im speechless.

    Clean interior, friendly service, good food, good value. $10 for chicken and lamb platter, which comes with two sides of your choice. The lamb was not my favorite, but the chicken was ok. The salad tasted nice and fresh, and the hummus was smooth. I asked for the sauce on the side, and they encouraged me to try different sauces in addition to the one I requested. There is some seating indoors but probably not enough for bigger groups.

    Hunchos never disappoints. The food tastes amazing, the service is equally as amazing, their staff is always so friendly!! My personal go to is lamb platter it's SO good, lived in NYC my whole life and this is my favorite halal spot ever. Their chicken is also really good and juicy, I just prefer lamb. Generous portions and generous with the sauces. Hunchos sauce comes in a spicy and non spicy it's almost like a sweet savory sauce, so good!! Their white sauce is super dill forward which I love! There's seats inside if you want to eat there. I just can't say enough good things, I literally come here every month at least once or twice! The photo I already took a bite because I forgot and it was too good

    Delicious Mixed Platter at an Amazing Price! I tried the mixed platter that I saw on TikTok, and it did not disappoint! For just $15, you get a generous serving of basmati rice, chicken, lamb, falafel balls, crispy fries, a fresh salad topped with hummus, and grilled pita bread--plus a variety of sauces to choose from. Everything was packed with flavor, and I absolutely loved it! The portion size is great for the price, and the combination of tastes and textures was spot on. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating it's limited. The staff were great he was welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal!

    Went to the new location in Uniondale and it was amazing. Food fresh, tasty, place clean, front end guy was so friendly. He had us try the chicken and lamb since it was our first time. And it was affordable. All good things. Will be back again.

    The fries were really good. The smash burger was really good too, it had the perfect amount of caramelized onions. Your also able to ask for extra sauce if you want.

    AMAZING! I came in with my friends and we had the best customer service! I don't have a preference for Halal food, however i would rather eat here than a regular place. Simply amazing so great. We even got two smash burgers on the house! I am so pleased and happy!

    Chicken Sandwhich

    Live right across the street. Was waiting months for this place to open. Went on the grand opening they gave everyone free platters and everything was delicious the rice the chicken the lamb even the sauces taste different from regular halal food spots. Went the next day again and got a chicken sandwich and steak platter and god damn it was hittin.

    The outside

    I've been to a few good Halal food spots, but this place is something else. Saw a video online about it and was not disappointed. We got 3 pcs of fried catfish, two smash burger combos that comes with fries and a choice of drink, and a chicken platter with rice, pita, and fries. Added another patty on each not knowing that the regular already had two still wasn't disappointed. The flavor of the fish was amazing and they were huge. The burgers were the most valid delicious smash burgers I've ever had. Some of the best overall burgers I've eaten. I recommend getting the Huncho sauce ask for like 2 with each meal. The service was top notch they even gave my family and I more sauces to take home. I will be coming back best believe. Worth the price we paid for all that food. They know what they're doing. It's a nice clean place to enjoy a meal.

A very helpful woman behind the counter guided us through the seafood selections and clearly explained the different preparation options. The food absolutely delivered. The grilled calamari (their style) was excellent, and the octopus was perfectly cooked, so much so that my picky toddler ended up eating almost half of it. The space was very clean, and the overall vibe was immaculate. Definitely coming back here again.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.

But tucked away on 34th Street, Off the Hook Raw Bar & Grill proves that some things are worth it. Years later, the truth remains unchanged: this sanctuary delivers a masterclass in cozy warmth and absolute culinary respect. The lobster mac and cheese is a decadent triumph--rich and loaded. But the real revelation is the skirt steak. It carries a deeply seasoned, char-grilled crust that locks in a perfect, juicy interior. It is, without exaggeration, one of the the best damn skirt steaks you will ever encounter in this city. Decor (4.25/5): It's a small, intimate room that hits you with a cozy, effortlessly cool vibe. It also has the small outdoor patio tucked away in the back--a perfect, low-lit refuge for a summer night in Queens. Customer Service (4.5/5): The staff is exceptional. They are welcoming, professional, and move with a hospitality that keeps the room's energy completely relaxed. Food Rating (5/5): Flawless execution. The skirt steak is dialed in to absolute perfection every single time, and the lobster mac stands alone at the top of its class. Price: Around $65 per person. Worth every penny--just prepare to battle for a spot on the asphalt if you drive.

We got in line around 7:30 pm on a Sunday and waited about an hour to order our food and another 20 minutes or so to be seated. You pick all the seafood you want first and how you want it prepared.

Their move and expansion on Ditmars Boulevard was a massive improvement. The soul of the kitchen didn't get lost in the extra square footage; instead, the chaotic sidewalk scramble has been replaced by a much smarter, vastly improved layout. Make no mistake, the lines still form and the room still buzzes with heavy energy, but the experience is entirely elevated. The food remains exceptional, a lesson in Mediterranean-Egyptian execution. The grilled shrimp carries a beautiful, smoky kiss from the fire, and the scallops are pristine, sweet, and perfectly seared. But the real heavy hitters are the giant prawns--and a rich, nutty tahini served with warm bread that acts as the ultimate anchor for the table. It's a spectacular, unpretentious feast where the ingredients do all the heavy lifting. Food (4.75/5): Elite tier. The ability to choose your own raw seafood and have it perfectly dialed in to order is unmatched. The prawns, scallops, and grilled shrimp are flawless, and that tahini is a MUST. Decor (4.25/5): The new, expanded space is a huge upgrade. It's cleaner, better organized, and breathes much easier than the old spot, while still holding onto that authentic, bustling seafood market energy. Customer Service (4.25/5): Despite the relentless rush and the inevitable crowds, the staff manages the counter and the floor with sharp efficiency and welcoming hospitality. Price: Around $60 per person. When you consider that you are paying by weight for high-grade, incredibly fresh seafood customized exactly to your liking, it is worth every dollar.

The lamb chops were flavorful. The medium here is on par with medium rare at most other places, and one of our pieces was borderline rare. At the end of the meal we were also offered complementary desert, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our meal overall, but just know that it's a little on the pricey.
