    Beef kofta platter
    Abrahim S.

    All of it tasted great and fresh. was hitting. But definitely could've used Extra white sauce... pause. The seating downstairs isn't the most comfortable, however you gotta pay a 15 % service charge to eat upstairs. I think next time I'll take it to go. But definitely a good place overall.

    #9 #1 Chicken Kebab
    Tasnia A.

    This is one of the cleanest restaurants in JH, and owned by the kindest Bengali & Middle Eastern family. You order downstairs and theres plenty of seating upstairs. They bring your food up to you. Servers continue to check up on you if you need anything. The food is fresh and delicious, entrees come with rice, white sauce salad and hummus. So far my friends and I have had the chicken kebab, chicken kofta, chicken shawarma, and special shawarma. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. Look how beautifully everything is plated!

    Wanted something different than the usual Mexican or Halal offerings in the area. This particular spot has all sorts of food options and seemingly not specializing in anything. However it is open late and no line to order. Looked like the entire staff was making an elaborate meal for a large group of people upstairs (yes there's seating up top). To help them out I ordered whatever I saw available on the heat rack - 4 Piece Chicken ($8.75), as well as some Mozzarella Sticks ($5). Food is ready in ten minutes - mozzarella sticks haphazardly in a brown bag while the chicken is packed in a small box. Despite all appearances, the chicken isn't half bad. Not overly greasy nor dry; decent with some hot sauce. Mozzarella sticks were hit or miss, some were crushed and exploded, others well crisped. All in all, better than expected but still not sure what would be the best thing to order here. If you don't want to wait outside in the cold for a food truck, try this place out.

    #14 Grilled Salmon

    Great customer service, I was looking all over for salmon around this location and found it here. The front hostess/cashier was sweet and showed me what container the salmon steak came in along with rice, friend and a salad. The place is very clean and the owner was available making sure customers were satisfied with service. Presentation for the to go is superb and the flavors are on point. One can tell the cook loves what he does. I will be back despite the $20 price point because it's salmon and worth it.

    A nice place to eat in Jackson Heights. The upstairs dining area is very clean and spacious, was empty when we came. The service was also very good. We ordered the chicken kofta and grilled shrimp kebab plates. The chicken and rice were nust okay, but the shrimp was very tasty!

    #8 Family Combo

    Came here for a birthday dinner. Got the Branzino fish which tasted pretty good. The chicken shawarma was really good. The steak was okay (they didn't ask how we wanted It cooked, it was well done for us). We also got 2 family platters that was also good. Definitely recommend to try it out. I gave it four because they give too much rice and less of the meat and their corn brûlée tastes ehhhhhh. Please don't get the corn brûlée. Sorry not sorry. Nonetheless pretty nice looking place and good food.

    This place was amazing and the food was delicious. The staff was super nice and gave us the best service. Just walking by, I did not expect much, but upon going upstairs, the dining area was really nice with plenty of tables. There's a window view all around the room as well. I highly recommend coming to this place if you're looking for a bite!

    The food is great, and the portion matches the pricing (if a tad more expensive). The service here is great and the owners are very kind. I always get the grilled shrimp platter which tastes pretty good.

    I have been there twice, and the chicken is greasy, and the lamb is dry. Additionally, service is questionable.

You'll find yourself lost in the hidden gems of Levant Lebanese and Egyptian culture. Made my journey to Levant for the first time and it was a pleasure. What got my attention the chicken and beef shawarma that was spinning on the counter dripping with fats, juices and flavor. Right when we got seated, the manager brought us freshly prepared, piping hot pieces of Falafel. Very good and well prepared. Very nice of him. Then So I ordered myself their chicken shawarma. The chicken was a little dry but it was still flavorful and delicious. A little hint of Sumac. What I would recommend is management to take a little more precautions on their customers. We ordered their famous Mixed Feteer, which is basically like their house pizza. And it took about 20 minutes to make and I totally understand that it gets a little busy but we have to prioritize the first customers all the way to last. But I would love to give my love and appreciation to management for serving a complimentary plate of their house sweets. It was heaven! We had their Kunefa and chocolate baklava. Mouth was watering to the extreme. I would definitely say that giving Levant in Astoria is well worth the drive if you're coming from out of town like myself but they offer really high quality Lebanese and Egyptian cuisine.

Butter chicken 1000/10 garlic naan 10/10 lychee drink 20/10 very flavorful Chili Garlic Fried Shrimp 1000/10 Dani Puri 9/10 mango mojito 10/10. Overall everything was 100/10 I will definitely come back and is open minded to try more food off the menu. Dominic was absolutely amazing 1000/10, I believe he knew it was my first time he was very patient with my girlfriend and myself. With an amazing smile and was just happy to help. He helped me pronounce the food items I couldn't get correct. Overall he gave me choices and options that were great that I really enjoyed. I don't remember the bartender names but he was great as well. His drinks were perfectly blended I felt like I was on vacation on a beach having them. But when I come back I definitely want to choose them! Ambiance was LUXURIOUS. Very clean, utensils were very clean as if it the a grand opening. I love the aesthetics and the color coordination and to the plates and silverware. Overall I recommend anyone especially if it's your first time. The people hear are amazing food is even better. 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Unfortunately, this was not a great experience... However, I'm going to touch base on both the good…read moreand the bad, although at this point I do NOT plan to return here. Pros: seated quickly, ambiance was lovely, appetizers came out quickly, the Lasuni Gobi was delicious. CONS: My husband and I waited 40+ minutes for our main dishes (dal + rice and the Paneer Tikka dish) to arrive....... And we watched the people who were seated AFTER us receive their MEAT dishes before we got our ours and we most definitely ordered first. We asked our server MORE THAN ONCE what was taking so long and we got the same answer each time "I've told the kitchen to hurry, it'll be out soon" To make matters worse, the person who brought us our dishes (maybe the chef? Maybe the manager?) brought them without the naan that we ordered. When I asked, "where's our naan?" He had the audacity to rudely say "it'll be out in a few minutes", as if we hadn't already been waiting 40+ minutes for vegetarian food that I could've whipped up myself in 20 minutes. His attitude towards us was so unacceptable considering the circumstances. We have absolutely no idea what happened or why it took so long for our simple dishes to arrive. It's especially perplexing considering that the people who came in AFTER us got their meat dishes first. The server apologized and decided to bring us some kulfi (ice cream) to try to make up for it, but we try to avoid eating sugar so that was useless. I felt bad for the server because it wasn't his fault that our food took a ridiculous amount of time to make it to our table, and it's not cool that a manager never stepped in to try to reconcile. As someone who waited tables for 8+ years, I was shocked at the lack of support this server received from his management team. The dal and paneer tikka dishes were average tasting at best (and overpriced), making another trip here completely unfathomable, most especially considering how we were treated. Note to management: do better. Support your staff and step in to reconcile with unhappy guests if this happens again.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 7 With all the delicious options for food in Astoria, I am glad to see Duzan still succeeding after all these years. The food has always been freshly prepared, in large portions, and cooked quite well. I'm thankful that has not changed much. On my most recent visit, we got a Mix Grilled and Vegetarian Plate to share between four people. There was so much food that we did not have dessert next door as originally planned. Prices are higher nowadays, but you are receiving great value for what you pay. Both chicken shawarma and the beef kufta from the Mix Grilled tasted great, especially with the provided zesty white sauce. I also added hot sauce to mine, which made it more satisfying. The chicken kebab was not bad, it had a nice char, but slightly dry. All of the accompanying humus (a bit salty), salad, rice, and garlic pita were excellent too. For the Vegetarian Plate, though good, I would like the falafels to be fluffier. The best things I enjoyed on the plate was the fried eggplants and baba ghanosh. It also comes with cous cous, which was good. Fresh middle eastern cuisine, made with quality ingredients and care, this restaurant may not be my first choice in Astoria because it's not as sexy as some of the other offerings, but I'm glad that they are still around when I just want a quality meal at a reasonable price.

Duzan has several tables, a counter by the window so not a lot of seating but enough. It's a relaxed, casual vibe. The service is outstanding. Simply outstanding -- friendly, helpful...just puts you at ease. The food is pretty good too. The kufta kebab was delicious, the accompanying salad was as well -- if I had any nitpick it was that I didn't necessarily love their house sauce and the combo of pita bread + french fries is perhaps a bit too many carbs for my liking. Besides that, this is a great neighborhood gem.
