The staff were friendly and accommodated my curiosity when I asked what the "red paste" was; it was red pepper hummus and I asked them to add it to the top of my pita. Now for the food itself; this was a really good pita sandwich. The chicken was cooked well, all the ingredients seemed fresh, and it was a nice change from the usually "middle eastern" style of chicken in pita. Don't get me wrong, the middle eastern pita sandwich is still my "go to", but this pita will also be in my take-out lunch rotation. You should give this place a try.

This shows in their quality of cuisine and the hospitality bestowed upon you when walking through the door. This is our new favorite Halal spot on Long Island! Everything is made from scratch, hot & fresh with love. Although it is Halal, they also offer traditional Indian dishes as well, like butter chicken. Tip: Order extra green sauce as you can drink it like fine wine. It might be tough to find as it is very small and tucked away in the corner of a low-traffic strip mall. Mostly take out. Thanks again to my fellow Yelpers for helping me locate this Eastern oasis. PS-Try the homemade baklava!

Once again, I found myself hungry in Patchogue. Looked for "best food near me," and found this…read moreplace! Well, actually I didn't, at first, but I called and a kind woman told me they were in the other shopping center. I went in the wrong direction. It's a small, very clean space with a few tiny tables and no restroom. The lady at the counter asked if it was my first visit, and I said yes. She said, "I will give you samples!" The lamb has wheat (breadcrumbs), so I didn't try it, but the chicken was amazing! And the rice was delicious. I wanted a Greek salad, but the chicken was SO good, flavorful without heat, just spice, that I ordered chicken with salad instead, and fries. Generous portions--I ended up taking a lot home--and yummy. The fries were crispy. Will absolutely return! Wonderful find! While Patchogue is farther away than Riverhead, it's a nice alternative.

Highly recommend and will definitely be back Plus the place is vegetarian which is great when entertaining a friend of ours who is vegan.

The restaurant is certainly clean and I like how it's in the open so you can see all the action and cleanliness. I ordered their falafel whole pita sandwich and was told I can add whatever choosing I wanted. I also ordered two sides of their falafel balls to enjoy. They were 3 balls for $1. As for the sandwich, I thought it only tasted okay. I was very hungry at that point so if I thought my sandwich was okay then I know I'm not a fan of it. The flavoring was bland, I asked for spicy sauce but didn't taste any. I also asked for the fried eggplants to find out as I'm biting into it that there was none. Make sure you watch them when asking for your choosing. They might now hear you and you'll just end up feeling disappointed like me because I love the taste of eggplants. Regarding the falafel ball, I thought it was too doughy. I usually like them a little more loose and garlicy.

Both pitas were good, filling, and as others have mentioned, I also forgot to ask for sauces they offer only if asked, which might have taken the pita from a 4 to a 5 (unlikely).

The main benefit of that being I didn't have to decide what I was having for lunch. This was the choice. I like mediterranean because it tends to be slightly healthier than some other options. This place is right up my alley because of the vegetarian leaning options on the menu, which is another benefit of this particular cuisine. Having said that, there were quite a few choices for me. They have bowls, salads, soup, sandwiches, platters, I mean, it's endless. I was planning on taco bell for dinner so had to compensate somewhat with lunch and decided to build a salad. I did greens, their mix of rice and lentils, cauliflower, cabbage, pickles, hummus, hot sauce. I am not a big fan of spring mix and I wonder if maybe something hot caused the greens to wilt but they were way too wilty for me. That was not particularly appetizing but everything else was really tasty. The hummus, especially, holy shit. I could eat that with a spoon. Two of my colleagues got the jersualem falafel sandwich and raved about it. I tried some of their fries and that seasoning is a game changer. I also got the garlic dip (to eat at home, later, don't worry). I couldn't tell you what that substance is and idk if I even want to know but it is whipped lusciousness. I am also genuinely curious to know how much garlic they put in there because it literally BURNS. No concern for vampires for quite a while. Very tasty, would definitely order again.
