    Kabob Combo
    Robyn K.

    I was so happy with this food I was talking about it for a few days. All of the dishes I ordered were delicious and full of spices and flavor. If you have never tried Afghan food, I suggest you try it soon. Restaurant is quite roomy with two eating areas and a bar area in the middle. The young man who served us was extremely pleasant and helpful.

    My friend and I were craving Kabobs so she recommend us come here since she has been wanting to try this place for a while. The place itself is very peaceful and we immediately felt like we would be too loud for this place, but it was fine. They have a variety of different Kabob options as well as combination platters and other food options. They provide butter and naan for the table before you order the food. We decided to order: -Bolanee as our appetizer: this was really good, very crispy on the outside with potatos on the inside and white sauce as the dipping sauce. -Steak Kabob: This is what I got - they ask how you would like it cooked and I got medium. The meat was very tender and not dry at all. The rice was also very nicely seasoned and since I absolutely love white sauce, their white sauce went super well with the food. -Ground Chicken Kabob: This is what my friend got and she gave me some of the chicken to try. It came with two pieces of chicken kabob, and the chicken kabob was nicely seasoned and the flavors were really good. She really liked their green sauce as she doesn't like white sauce. Overall - definitely fulfilled our craving for kabobs and would highly recommend this place!

    Great service, authentic afghani food. Perfect ambiance and family vibes. My uncle loved his lamb shank and rice.

    Delicous food! Not like those other "Afghan" places pretending to cook afghani food lol. I got the chapli kebab and barg kebab with rice. Also the fish kebab. Small place but friendly service and great food!

    Great and food and really nice people! We ordered hummus, sambosas and bolanee. We were so hungry that I forgot to take pictures of those but they were delicious. We love all of the sauces although the green may be my favorite. For entrees, we ordered kabob barg, shrimp kabob and Tikka (lamb) kabob. All were so delicious! The brown rice was so flavorful! And the onions really complement the meat and rice dishes. We were too full to order desserts.

    BYOB!! Good size portions great service parking out front. Gets full on weekends for dinner!

    $32!!!! Supposed to serve 2 people
    Sharda S.

    Usually we dine in this restaurant and the portions are regular sized and very tasty. This is the only reason I am giving 2 stars. I placed an order to go today. It was for 2 kabobs combo special. The total cost was $32. Now for $32, you can see below what they tried to pass off as a two kabob combo special. My husband questioned this portion size and they gave him a bs excuse about they changed their containers. I try to support local restaurants but I do not like to get ripped off. So if you're dining In, go for it. Stay away from the taking your food to go. They will rob you! FYI - if you're craving Afghan food, try Kabul kabab house on Main Street, you can get 3 combo kabob for $50 and it comes in a large aluminum tray! Definitely get your money's worth!

    First trip to the Afghan grill as there are many closer to where I live however since we were in the area and were in the mood we decided to give this a try. FamIly owned and run business I met the owners kid Omar who was a super nice and friendly guy. He was the one who took our order for our dinner and drink. We got the combo grill since there were 2 of us and we substituted the lamb chops for only $7 extra instead of getting one of the chicken skewers. With the lamb chops we also got the barg. The food was delicious, they had this cayenne pepper sauce which I had never seen before which had a bit of a kick to it which was also very good. Overall the cleanliness food and service were terrific, since it was my first time here and we only tried two of the meats I will give this a 4/5. I will definitely be back to try more of their dishes.

    This spot is one of my favorites in LI!! The quality of the rice and meat has always been spot on. I have not had one bad experience here, always consistent!! My favorites are usually the chicken and lamb kebabs and their salad and vegetable dishes are seasoned well and very flavorful. I wish there was an option to add on an extra meat as there is usually more rice than meat but other than that no complaints. Also always very generous with the white sauce...can't resist (which is sometimes a problem LOL) Will continue to support this business!! Very sweet family. Look forward to dining in the near future ...

    Dinner For Four: skirt steak, Cornish hen, kofta from left to right
    Matthew C.

    Got: Dinner for 4 (assorted lamb and a beef kabobs with cornish hen) Price: $76 Value: Decent price with large portions (more than enough for leftovers) OPEN DURING COVID (as of 5/18/2020 We usually take out from this place and get the dinner for 4. It comes with: Tray of seasoned basmati rice (enough for 6-7 people) Flat bread (great when reheated) 3 sauces (tart green sauce, spicy sauce, creamy white sauce) Choice of 4 meats (there's an assortment of lamb, beef, chicken kabobs and cornish hen). My favorite is the cornish hen, really tender and flavorful. Choice of 2 stews (egg plant lamb, okra, spinach, pumpkin). We usually get the eggplant lamb stew and okra. Spinach is also really tasty but less worth is than the okra which is more of a novelty. 2 containers of salad with dressing. Standard salad with lettuce, shredded cabbage, and carrot. Overall great place. Always a go to for my family! Definitely worth to take out so you can save the leftovers and use the sauces/bread for another meal or snack. TIP: Air frying or baking the flat bread turns them into chips :)))

    Good food, and if you're lucky, you can be there before the dinner "rush", which seems to be later than most places.

    Crave shack - Jerk Chicken over Rice

    Home of the BEST and REALEST Nashville Hot Fried Chicken sandwich that is HALAL in NY!!!!…read more I've tried various Nashville Hot halal sandwiches and they just never met my standard... except this one at Crave Shack's. It's not drenched in sauce or powdery from being over seasoned. It's just absolute perfection and has that Nashville Hot spice that kicks in over time when you take a bite. This isn't a spice level to be scared of. It's pretty tolerable if you're used to some heat. The benefits of it not being drenched in sauce means that you can actually enjoy the crunch of the fried chicken. You're going to want to enjoy the crunch because it is crispy and nice! The pickles are a great addition in them too. I love their unique takes of over rice dishes. The Jerk Chicken is an absolute must as well as their steak over rice. Both over rice dishes that you don't really see at other similar establishments and should be deemed as Crave Shack's staples because it started here. Haha. The Crave wings are drenched in Guyanese flavors and it's something to definitely try when you are there along with your rice dish. It's tangy and sweet... straight fire!!! The Crave Burger is absolutely crazy! Smoked in-house, the brisket and the patty, and always made fresh daily... The quality of this burger is definitely worth the price tag. It's a perfect combination that'll put you to sleep because you'll catch the "itis". I just think that once again, Crave, has really started something with topping a burger with brisket rather than the typical "bacon" ordeal. Simply put... Crave Shack lives up to its name by leaving you wanting more once you're out that door!

    The worst chicken over rice. The chicken was rubbery and slippery. I believe they undercooked the…read moredamn chicken. How do you mess up chicken? The food tasted like a sauced-up mess. The white sauce tasted more like ranch. The garlic sauce gets lost with everything else. The bits of rice that did not get any sauce were the only edible thing in the platter. This is not authentic halal cart chicken over rice. BEWARE!

    What a hidden unassuming GEM, right in the middle of Franklin Square! This restaurant is family…read moreowned/run and has been in business for about 2 years. The restaurant is smallish and can probably seat up to 18ppl. This is a unique Harbin restaurant (the Capital region of a Providence in Northeast China). This authentic cuisine is hard to find; even in Flushing, Queens! On their store awning, it states "We Make Real Chinese Food".... They ain't kidding!! Note: Closed on Tuesdays! We went for lunch on a Saturday, and the restaurant was full of Asian people. There was a steady flow of Asians the entire 2.5 hrs we were there! (Yes, we had a leisurely 2.5 hr lunch; catching up with friends from out of town. lol) Our menu (shared by 4 adults, 1 child): -- House Special Dumplings ($18/12pcs): we ordered these boiled. Tasty; especially with the chili sauce and vinegar. -- Sauteed Tofu Sheet w.Chili Peppers $18: traditional Northeast China dish. Good but would have been better with more chili peppers. We added chili oil for an extra kick. -- Double Cooked Pork w.Sweet & Sour Sauce $20: Excellent dish! Preparation is very unique! There was no actual sweet & sour "sauce" but rather, the sweet & sour condiments were cooked into the batter of the pork. Loved this dish! Get this! -- Mala Lamb Ribs $28: Another Excellent dish! The spicy and numbing Mala taste was obvious without being overly spicy. Great flavors, Great texture. Get this! -- Pork Fried Noodles $15: All noodles are hand-pulled on-site, with noodle chefs having over 20 years of experience. This dish was made with just ONE very long noodle! Served with a pair of scissors. lol Great texture, and soooo satisfying! Even better with some chili oil! This had limited protein but a good dish nonetheless. -- Northeastern Style Braised Pork Elbow $36: Excellent dish! Huge portion. Perfectly braised, fall-off-the bone deliciousness. It was slightly salty, so definitely eat this with some rice. Get this! -- Rice ($2/bowl): entrees do NOT come with rice, so order on the side. -- Condiments: on each table, there is a condiments tray consisting of chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and salt/pepper. Definitely try their chili oil and vinegar. This really enhanced the flavors of the food. But some of the dishes didn't need condiments at all, and were terrific as served. Customer service was so warm, welcoming and friendly! They are happy to answer any questions you may have, and offered great suggestions. So, if you've never had Harbin Cuisine before, peruse the 6 page menu and ask questions before ordering! Lots of great dishes on their menu! Parking: street parking is available (in front and on the side road). They do have a small parking lot in back but spots are limited since it's a shared lot. Looking forward to a return visit to explore their menu. What a treat!! Thanks to Y&Z for a wonderful 1st experience at your restaurant!

    The Lanzhou noodle soup was delicious. The soup itself was slightly different in color from what I…read moream used to but the flavor is about the same. There is a certain taste to lzbns which is described as "xian", and this soup has it. The pork sauerkraut dumplings were also great, as a Northeastern Chinese (Harbin) restaurant, the dumplings were as chonky as I expected with great wrapper texture. They give free pickled veg (pickled with Sichuan peppercorns!) and watermelon as well. Staff was attentive, I came on a Sunday dinner 630pm, was quiet, mostly takeout orders. Wonderful restaurant, definitely eat in if you can for the freshest experience.
