Extremely tasty. This place. The lady at the front was warm and friendly. I was just startled by how busy they were taking a ton of to-go orders, since it was a huge downpour outside. With 3 people working, it took a bit longer to make the food, yet at the same time, I value and I definitely understand the dedication of hard work. I was just confused when I came in on whether or not it was a sit down place with table service or self-service. If you need to know, it's self-service. They call your meal, and then you pick it up at the counter. You also order at the counter...! I appreciate the freshness of the flavors. I found the meal deliciously satisfying and could probably double as two flavors. read more

Duzan - Chicken shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

If I can give 0 i would. Called ahead they said 20 minutes. We dropped by and waited 75 minutes only to be told that our orders are still in the grill. We told them we called more than an hour ago and they said they have 250 plates. Duzan You are f** greedy!!! If you can't keep up, do not take more orders and even asking us to pay ahead. Literally almost a hundred people crowded in your small space many waiting for their orders, pissed as hell and people waiting to order. There was almost a stampede. Never again! read more

The chicken sandwich is so delicious and yummmy The service is friendly The ambiance is too crowded too read more

Hey hey so last time i had this spot it was amazing. Had some soft juicy lamb over white with the duzan sauce and pita. Im about to check this spot again read more

After waiting 25 minutes for the mixed grill the cashier tells me the kitchen didn't start my order bc they realized the hummus had lemon in it (my daughter has a citrus allergy). I was absolutely baffled. I asked her why they didn't start grilling the meat (reason why wait is 25 min) and I could have just substituted the hummus for something else. Basic logic completely missing here. Get your act together if you want to stay open and grow a real business. Pathetic read more

Favorite shawarma spot ... the ingredients are fresh and delicious! Love the sides too ! If you order ahead it's even better ! read more

Had the grilled chicken platter the other night with rice, salad, and humus and it was amazing. The best grilled chicken I've ever had, so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. With the white sauce and humus, it was top notch. I'm really weird about chicken and hate when it's chewy, and this chicken was cooked perfectly and the perfect texture and not fatty. Will definitely be getting this again. read more

This is my moms and husband fave spot! There always crowded but it's worth the wait. I love all the options you can put in your pita sandwich or on the bowl! read more

Best middle eastern spot on steinway!! Beats others on the block by milessssss. Their chicken shawarma platter with hummus and fries is my go-to. Its worth double parking for and getting honked at for read more

One of my favorite places for take out/delivery. The portions are very generous and the food is delicious. Really love their chicken shawarma platter, hummus, and falafel. read more

Good food but its again that I do not recived something that I order z No couscous on the side but I was charged. Please double check the orders . It's not first time!!! read more

Their pita is the best, wow. So chewy and soft. Definitely get the pita sandwiches here. Falafel is crispy and delish. Shawarma bowl has good portion but can rack up in price when you do add ons. Chicken was on the salty side and the white sauce could be creamier, too liquidy for my taste. They're doing renovations right now so, dine in is outside! read more

Wow. My new go to Mediterranean place when in New York. I come for work and like trying new spots. I was able to make 3 meals from the beef and lamb combo. Don't pass up their hummus. I got the duzan. Bomb. Would have taken a picture but I ruined it by eating it. Ooops lol read more

A new gem in Astoria for Middle Eastern food is discovered. Wow...sums it up. This establishment is serving authentic food in every way. Starting with their Pita bread, made on the premises. You may think that all Pita is the same, but I can tell you that in at his case, they have the absolute correct thickness to hold their falafel and shawerma in place, right to the last bite. The pita surrounds everything perfectly with nothing falling out. One of my favorites is their lamb and beef shawerma, aka Gyro to most. However, shawerma is not made of ground meats then formed. It is layers upon layer of sliced marinated meat or poultry, retaining the original texture of the meat. Very common in the Middle East. If you want a taste of everything order their mixed grill, you will get a taste of everything, and decide on your favorite. I also recommend their falafel for vegetarians and non! Their falafel in pita, is a great meal on its own as they stuff it with a great mix of salad and sauces, and it does not fall apart. If you are going to pick up your food order ahead since parking is difficult. I recommend the driver stay in the car and have someone run out to pick up the food. They are very efficient and the ladies at the pickup door are very friendly. Just let them know you are there and they will give you an idea when everything is ready. If you are ordering online you can pay ahead, and you will be texted/emailed. read more

Tried Duzan last night just before they closed for the night. Really great shwarma. It was ready quick, tasty and the meat portions were generous. Im not in Astoria often and it looked like there was a lot of competition in the near vicinity and this spot looked like it had the most buzz. If I'm in the area again I'd happily eat there again. read more

I got a delivery and it was someone else's order. I called the door dash driver repeatedly after he left to try to get him to come back and bring the right order. He ignored all calls and never answered. I called the restaurant and they picked up and said there's nothing they can do go through door dash. Door dash couldn't get in touch with the driver so I called the restaurant again multiple times and they never picked up. As a business you should pick up your phones especially when a paying customer didn't receive their food. Horrible customer service read more

This place has been recommended to me so many times and I finally bit the bullet and ordered off of Uber eats. Hands down this was the best Baba Ganoush I've ever had and definitely one of the best chicken shawarmas. The baba ganoush came with about 3 pieces of pita so I'm glad I didn't order and pita with my bowl separately. My roommate ordered the passion fruit juice but unfortunately they forgot to put it in the bag. Still, even with that being said the meal was so good that she didn't care the drink was missing. read more

Love this place! When I first stepped in I thought maybe I was in the wrong place since I didn't know they underwent renovations but the new space is great. I always find Duzan to be crowded which says a lot about the food. Lots of taxi drivers park and run in and order food, locals come, and of course people like me who once lived in Astoria who now has to drive to get some grub at this place. Basically anything is great. I typically go for platters instead of a sandwich bc I can use the leftovers for another meal. Extra charge to add on things which suck (like if you wanted falafel and meat in a pita). read more

Honestly the food alone deserves its own 5 star rating even though my order was wrong, I ordered and paid for the mixed wrap and only got lamb.. -3 stars for the customer service those girls on the register are rude as hell. The place is under construction and the only menu in sight is AT THE REGISTER where they rushed me to place my order and STILL got it wrong. Make it make sense. Lose the damn attitude or quit the job if you hate it that much. Unorganized and way too crowded, probably better to order for pickup before hand read more

And I'm back! This spot never fails to deliver! Love the owner! He's always so accommodating. We came in with a party of 5, 20mins prior to closing and ordered 5 Kofta kebab platters with rice. 10mins later the owner came and gave us two free hummus sides and tons of fresh hot pita, stating that he only has enough rice for 2 plates and can give fries for the rest. We happily accepted knowing that we showed up when their about to close. This is what I call excellent service. I would have given this place 5 stars, but I'm giving it a 4 due to the kabobs. I feel that the quality of the kabobs have dropped a bit from when I first came here. It's a bit though and not juicy as it used to be. Despite this, I still love this place. $10 worth of food that you'll barely be able to finish! Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Love this place. Shawarma is great here whether it's in a pita or bowl. Beef and lamb is my favorite but the chicken is good too. Well seasoned cooked right. Staff is friendly and efficient and the place is small but clean and there is room to sit. read more

Duzan - Bowl - Beef and Lamb Shawarma Bowl (Only available after 600pm) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

Duzan Vs. Zyara, unbiased review: I went to both restaurants in one day to find out who has the best shawarma on Steinway st. so you don't have to. I ordered a chicken shawarma platter at each restaurant and found that without a doubt, Duzan is the unanimous winner. Don't get me wrong, the shawarma meat and sides were equally good at both restaurants however, Duzan has far superior sauces, much better customer service, and at an astoundingly cheaper price. Whenever I'm in Astoria, Duzan will be at the top of my itinerary. read more

Wow! Absolutely amazing!!! This place really blew us away. My fiancé was craving a shawarma sandwich and I thought after a long day at work, it would be best to go grab something instead of make something from scratch. These sandwiches tasted as if they were made right in Palestine and I would agree with the rest of the people on here that these sandwiches are the quality that you would get back home, so is the hospitality. The owner is the most genuine person you'd meet. You really do feel as if you've been invited to a family home to grab a bite. We ordered two chicken pita sandwiches and two mix shawarma pita sandwiches, a side of fries, and a side of hummus. The sandwiches were tender and flavorful but not greasy/oily which goes to show their quality. The hummus was also out of this world. If you've eaten homemade hummus you know the difference between the off the shelf brands and the homemade hummus. I don't believe this review does this place justice. Sometimes you can't explain your tastebuds from how good a place is, instead you need to experience it yourself, so go try it! This is definitely a place we'll be coming to on a weekly basis. read more

Wow... This place is absolutely amazing. Food is fresh and delicious. Hasan, the owner is super friendly. If you ever get the chance to talk to him, you should. He is very passionate about his food and it shows. I had the lamb sandwich the first time I was there. Delish. The portion was massive and the price is more than reasonable. Very quick service. Today, I had the chicken platter. It was probably one of the best meals I've had in awhile. The portion was huge. The hummus is to die for. The chicken. Was super moist. Amazing flavor!!! Eat here.. you won't regret it!!! read more

Duzan - Chicken platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

Fast food arab style. Bursting with flavor and size the shawermas here always hit the spot. If I want a 'healthier' cleaner whopper taste I get the meat shawarma. Usually I get the mixed shawarma and its always good. Three stars because the food is sometimes oily. read more

The BEST pita and hummus I've ever had from a Mediterranean takeout spot. I'm hoping they put the garlic pita on Uber eats because it is phenomenal! Their chicken kebab was extremely flavorful and juicy which isn't always the case when it comes to chicken breast. And you can't go wrong with their white sauce! read more

Delicious! Some of the food was a bit spicy, so ask for non spicy before ordering if you don't like spicy food. But delicious, the bread, foul, shawarma, falafel all amazing. Great seating area too. Def coming here again! read more

Duzan is the shit. If I could only eat middle eastern from one place for the rest of my life, it would be here. Everything is great, especially their hummus. I don't think anything in life could ever taste better. Bonus points for having a ton of great sauces and making it easy (and free) to add them to your order. read more

A friend told me about this place, along with the wait.. back to that later.. and promptly went the next day. Ordered the mix grill which was 16 and change on site (it's 19.xx if you're ordering through a third party for delivery or pickup FYI). Really high quality Mediterranean food. You get a choice of three meats and two sides. Ordered the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and kofta along with rice. The kofta was my favorite but everything was well cooked so I don't think you can go wrong here. Also came with some pickles, onion etc and a garlic pita bread. The Duzan sauce is basically Russian dressing no clue where it fits in with these flavors. Least favorite part of the meal but luckily sauces were on the side. The white sauce and whatever spicy harissa chili sauce thing was excellent! They should bottle up that spicy sauce. Overall great meal if you're sober, but with King of Falafel in the neighborhood I think I'd go there first because I'm hardly sober lol. On to the bad.. The wait for food is ridiculously long. Was there for a good 25 minutes after ordering. I'm assuming they're getting a lot of delivery and pick up orders and can't seemingly keep up pace. Considering they've been this popular for so long you'd think they could get it together. The food is prepped just assemble. Feels like they want that crowd outside.. lame.. read more

Beautiful food, and a good amount of it too!! Quick to order at the place and get it to go. Seating outside but limited. Best for picking up and bringing it home to enjoy. Sooooo tasty! Love this place!! read more

My friend told me about how great this place was and then she picked up a vegetarian bowl for me and it was delicious. So I had to drag my boyfriend back the next week and get some more bowls. They were so busy on a weekday late afternoon which is a testament to how great their food is. The ordering system took a minute to figure out lol. But once we did, we ordered really quickly and didn't have to wait too long either. Also important to note--the food travels well! It was a short walk home but we didn't eat right away, but when we did a bit later it was still hot and fresh. Fries weren't soggy or anything :) the falafel is good, the hummus is delicious and so is the baba ganouj. I also loved the grilled flavor of the kafta Kabab. I can't wait to try everything else they have to offer! read more

Delicious quick middle eastern food in Astoria that won't break the bank. They do not skimp on portion size either. You can't miss the word "ORDER" stenciled on the ground with an arrow pointing at the open window where you order, then your name will be called when your food is ready for pick up and it will be packaged to-go. Plenty of outdoor seating that are socially distanced. Standouts are the pita bread, creamy hummus, grilled pepper, and grilled onions. I'd suggest getting the sauces on the side-garlic and duzan are fantastic and the spicy harrisah packs a punch and is super spicy but delicious alone or when blended. I've only tried the grilled chicken and chicken kebab and both are delicious. Dinning outside at Duzan on a gloriously sunny and warm Oct day was just perfect. read more

Just a week ago I ate chicken shawarma in that restaurant, inside shawarma there was something weird (it was some kind of gray thing) and I said to customer can you look at this and he just took that part out and gave it back it was disgusting. I don't recommend you guys to go that restaurant, I was about to throw up and its not worth to price you will give!!!!!! read more

A great alternative to King of Falafel for low-carbers. Avoid the falafel temptation my keto friends! - Large meat portions - Cabbage slaw (bowl) was a pleasant surprise, superior to your typical soggy lettuce mix from other Halal establishments Chicken shawarma - very good Harissa & garlic aioli - heavenly! Apart from the impossible parking (expected in this area), Duzan is where it's at - outdoor tables permitting. read more

It's a decent spot for lunch. A little disappointed they forgot my babaganoush. The chicken is grilled nicely.

My friends recommended this place, so I decided to go out with them. Food was f**ked. Why ? First of all their bowl don't have individual space for sauces or fries so they mix all together in one bowl. Not organized at all. I didn't noticed that they have wasabi on the food. So I wasn't focusing on that, and whole spoon fool of wasabi was in my mouth and buried my tongue. Food was so bad that fries wasn't crispy. And I couldn't even finish half. RIP my money Never coming back... read more
