the food is good but the service is horrible. The waiter were really rude and mean. And the ambiance needs to be a little more clean. read more

Been wanting to try this place. Glad I finally went. We got chicken rolls ($2 each) which were spicy but so damn good! The tamarind chutney & the cilantro chutney that came with them were so good too. We got the Ferraro rocher cake ($5) which honestly didn't taste like the chocolate but it was really good although really sweet as well. We also got the moonlite special shawarma ($14). It was good but wuda been so much better w/o the mayo on top. I despise mayo. Most of their sauces are mayo based. Also got 6pc chicken wings ($12) which were so much better than crappy old Kennedy fried chicken. The crust actually had flavor besides salt. The rolls & chicken were the highlight. The elderly man who was the cashier also served us the food upstairs. He was really nice. read more

Very good service and the food was very good. Got biryani, naan, butter chicken, rice, and chicken kebob.

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. read more

Moonlite Grill & Chicken - Beef kofta platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I got the Haleem, from there yesterday. It was awful and smelly. Wasn't Haleem, seems like Dal and meat a smell. As soon as I tasted it, my 7.99 went to the trash. Samosa was okay, you can get cheaper from around the area. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Moonlite Grill & Chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Been here several times; the staff is frequently not the most courteous, especially when you order. I don't agree with many other reviewers who speak about the place being "clean", when half the tables upstairs have no salt and pepper shakers (and those that do are filthy). The quality of the food, especially grilled items, is unpredictable. Sometimes it is good, but mostly kebabs, etc. are wildly overcooked. Prices are on the high side, too. It's just too hit-or-miss in my experience to take seriously as a dine-in option. Service and quality of food is spotty and does not warrant these prices. read more

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! read more

Moonlite Grill & Chicken - Chicken swarma, chicken swarma wrap, pita bread, fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

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. read more

Moonlite Grill & Chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Went on October 22, 2022 Went here for a large family dinner with my relatives and the service was amazing, the staff was so sweet and kept checking in on us. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos but the plating on each dish was also outstanding. We got a variety of kebabs. The lamb was a standout, with zero gaminess and great flavor. The chicken and beef kebabs were also great and had a unique flavor from typical kebabs sold in Jackson Heights. We also got a fish kebab, which was okay. I recommend the other ones over the fish one. We ended with mango lassi and their corn creme brulee dessert. The lassi wasn't as good as some other places but was still fine, and the addition of the corn in the creme brulee was an interesting touch that you either like or you don't; the texture of each piece of corn within the otherwise creamy custard was something I personally didn't like, but it depends on the person. Other than the corn, I think the creme brulee was really well done with the right amount of sweetness and a satisfying hardened top. Overall, I really really enjoyed Moonlite's version of each kebab and I think it's a great new place to try in Jackson Heights! read more

Moonlite Grill & Chicken - Lamp chop, Beef & Chicken kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

This was a place that I used to recommend to my friends and family with the quality of the food and the outlook upstairs. I had really a bad experience recently and thought to share it publicly. I took my family with a guest visiting us last week. There was a front desk girl (she doesn't introduce herself, so her name is unknown) who was taking the orders. She told us you have to order downstairs while standing before going upstairs. In other words, you can't sit here before ordering. Fair enough! We decided to order. While ordering, my 5-year-old son, said he needs to go pee. I asked her whether I can take him to the bathroom, and she said NO. You need to order first before taking him to the bathroom! I was really really shocked to listen to what she said! This is the stupidest response I have ever seen in my entire life from a restaurant where I plan to dine in! She needs to know how to talk to customers. Apparently, the owner/partner also seems taking her actions very lightly and pretends he didn't hear anything or he doesn't understand anything! Customer satisfaction in a restaurant doesn't always come with great food but it should come with good behavior too. They need to learn how to talk and show sympathy to kids. This place is no longer family-friendly. I revoke all the recommendations which I made to my fellas! This business won't survive if they don't care about customers who came there to order, not for peeing! read more

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

The food was amazing it was very tasty. The owner sat us. The waiter was very attentive to us and made sure we did not need anything. We chose the family combo and it was more than sufficient food. Overall this place deserves a five star and more. The owner was very very friendly highly recommended! read more

Delicious food with polite and efficient staff. Very nice upstairs dining area. Very clean restaurant, including the bathrooms. Definitely worth making the stop. read more

I don't recommend this place at all!!I can here and I was kind of in a rush.I went to order and the manager started taking my order in English. Btw I can speak bangali and English so I spoke English as well. Then when I was done I went upstairs and waited. Only half of my stuff came so I waited and waited. It wasn't coming so I called a worker. He said the manger didn't understand English. Everyone there speaks bangali but they spoke English to me. So I got mad because I payed and everything but he don't understand English. Like how does that make sense?? He could've told me I don't understand and I would've spoke bangla that was no problem so?!!? Yeah but I long story short don't recommend‍‍ read more

Very spacious upstairs. Food looks so wonderful and colorful , unfortunately I felt that it lacked seasoning. Had the chicken Kofte and it wasn't as flavorful as I would've expected. Dare I say, maybe add more salt? The corn crème brûlée was absolutely delicious and I will definitely go back just for that dessert. Service was pretty standard, little bit of a language barrier. Be kind and simple when speaking to staff. We can all understand that at least and it'll make the experience better for all. read more

The food is good, especially the lamb chops but the staff don't wear gloves when preparing the food and I saw the owner take money out of the tip jar and put it in his own pocket. The management is horrible!! read more
