Just give me and my wife a reason and the answer is always yes, want to go to Duzan? Whether your a meat lover or vegetarian the food will not disappoint. My wife loves their chicken schnitzel. The chicken is fried to perfect with its crispy interior and soft interior. I went for the falafel, eggplant, on a heaping serving of couscous couscous. There is a great balance of salad and homemade pickles. Can't mention the dipping and the garlic pita thay comes with the order. Dont forget their splendid pink sauce (duzan sauce) its goes with everything!

I can't believe I didn't update my review for DUZAN. It's amazing and I've been going here for years now. The chicken schnitzel remains my go to with the fries and the salad and white and duzan sauce. Can't go wrong. The ful medames took me entirely by surprise because it was arguably the best I've tried. Super flavorful and complex flavors and amazing portion size with fluffy warm bread on the side. A perfect, healthy lunch. I still love their hummus and I hate all other hummus I've tried. Also they've been under construction for literally years. They're supposedly supposed to finish in 2025 but we got two months left and nothing looks ready yet so there's that. They used to take ages to prepare food (over 20-25 min) but they've sped up a lot since.

Falafel platter with hummus and couscous

So this place has been under construction for as long as I can remember probably before Covid, they opened a little place next-door, the food used to be fantastic. Lots of salads all kinds of pickled items really good, however, now they load you up with nothing the falafel bowls were a spicy mess, very dry. The entire dish had no flavor. How do you mess up hummus? Won't be coming back.

Ordered the combo platter! The beef kebab was probably my favorite. Loved the portion and variety (salad, humus, rice). Meats were well flavored but on the dry side. Pita with the garlic aioli was fire!! The side dipping sauces were bomb! Would go back. Current under construction so there a few outdoor tables to sit at outside and like 4 seats indoors.

I saw this spot on IG via a foodie influencer (which I am growing more wary of) and decided to come try this for myself. I've been here twice now and I will say the quality has been consistent. It's an easy grab for a quick bite to eat, you order at the counter and then they call once your order is ready. There's a good amount of seating consisting of benches and tables despite it being under constriction the first time I went, not sure if they have plans to expand. I've had the chicken schwarma wrap, platters, hummus and falafels - everything was made fresh and delicious. You can also customize with any sauce you'd like, they have them available at the tables for your convenience. Overall, I feel like this is a great go to spot when you don't know what to eat in Astoria or are craving Mediterranean food.

HOLY CRAP how did I not know about this!? If this were closer it'd be a go-to spot! Like, I could consider doing delivery for this and I NEVER do delivery. Ample portion size - easily two days worth for the mix shawarma hummus is GOOD, and they put the sauces on the side for controlled dipping (read: dunking). You'd never realize this place is IT from how it looks on the outside. A shame they're far away from the thoroughfare.

Mohima M.

The food here has consistently been delicious! The kababs are made fresh to order and have a nice char grilled flavor, the meat was tender, the salad was nice especially with the pickles and I love the couscous here! The fries were also super crispy. The service was great, the staff was so kind and conveyed the idea that they genuinely cared about the experience of their customers! It was a relaxed atmosphere with a good amount of seating, casual dining with good food i will definitely be coming back

Rion C.

Took a while to get my order of chicken kabob on pita. It was not the typical round pita but more of a square pocket pita (see picture). As for the taste, it was good and juicy and not dry at all. It did the trick for a first time visit. There were a lot of business at the 2:30p time. Many appeared to be regulars as well as first timers like me. They ran out of beef and lamb so I downgraded them due to options. The ladies taking the orders and packing them were very friendly and efficient.

Jess Z.

Yummy! Got the beef shawarma plate for lunch with hummus and fries as the sides. If you dine in, you don't need to choose only one sauce! They give three sauce bottles for you to use. Loved the pita that it came with as well. Next time, I'd get the salad as a side instead of the fries! Think it would freshen up the meal more. Service was quick and simple.

Tanja T.

Eats under $15 Truly a Middle Eastern gem. You can get things like shawarma, falafel, mixed grill with great sides such as their hand cut fries, hummus, couscous, and pickled veggies. Duzan makes everything fresh to order!! The food is seasoned so well and has a tender bite. Make sure to finish it off with their sauces. We got white sauce, Duzan sauce, and harissa sauce. Quality ingredients, generous portions, and a price tag that won't break the bank...a New Yorkers dream come true! Highly recommend this place!!

Marina S.

The food here is heavenly! Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had. The food is very fresh and flavorful. I've only gotten takeout here but it's great every time. Most recently I had the Sabich bowl (eggplant) and it was delicious. We also got the baba ganoush, which has a unique but delightful flavor. I love their pita!

Aisha F.

The chicken shawarma platter with hummus and salad is SO DELICIOUS THAT I DAYDREAM ABOUT IT!!! It is healthy, flavorful, and so, so good. It comes with pickles, pita, and delicious garlic sauce. I'm told that I'm a harsh food critic but this place is a 10/5!!!! Absolutely amazing! Friendly employees, and nice ambiance. They have a sit in area.

The food is great but the portions are ridiculously small for the price and it didn't used to be like this but as of the last couple of months I receive less than a cup of meat, probably at most three ounces and I honestly can say that despite how much I love the food here I will not be ordering again. $14 for very little meat is unreasonable. How are these portion sizes not supposed to get me upset? read more

Great place to stop by for quick eats. Think of it as a Mediterranean version of Chipotle; you get a choice of meat, 2 sides, 2 sauce choices and whether you want it in a bowl, pita or wrap. Affordable pricing and quick service. We ordered ahead for pick up on Seamless and the app showed that the food would be ready in an hour. 15 minutes later, we received a notification that it was ready for pickup. So fast! If you were to find parking- the location is the worst. Ordered the chicken shawarma platter and the chicken shawarma pita wrap. Everything is definitely made to order and fresh! The chicken was soft and tender. They have plenty of options on their menu, including their sauces. They're very generous with their toppings and the bowl is huge (one platter can be split between 2 people). Definitely worth the try if you're looking for some good chicken shawarma. read more

Food is great, but the wait time is consistently atrocious. I've been coming here for 7 years, and in that time they have renovated and hired new workers. Despite these changes, I have experienced an average wait time of up to 20 minutes after ordering pickup via phone 15 minutes prior. Also, my order has probably been wrong in one way, shape, or form at least 15% of the time. I want to reiterate how solid the food is and that is what has kept me coming back after all of these years. However, it's quite unfortunate that they have not improved their efficiency despite having what appears to be ample capital/time to do so. read more

Very overrated and seems like they do not care to try now that they have Instagram exposure. Chicken is bland, lamb is not high quality of overcooked also flavorless. Plate just looks dumped together. The bowl does an injustice to these staple mediterranean plates as it includes no salad, pickles, etc etc. Felt like it was a school lunch with how basic it was. I would compare there plates to that of a street vendor halal cart, not sure if they are just too busy to care but money would be best spent else where you can find better authentic plates with more effort. read more

Called for a delivery... put on hold for around 10 minutes, retried calling... busy dial tone.. First time in the area, wanted to try out some new food and this happens. TURN OFF. Update: called for the third time and someone finally answered. Changed from one star to three star. Food portion was extremely matching to the price... food was great BUT service was terrible. Put on hold, then hung up then called again, dial tone... then they got the address wrong when I clearly repeatedly told the person on the phone the address... had a 5 minute conversation with the delivery guy on how to get here, so not only I had to waste time to place an order but also to guide the delivery guy because the address got messed up. .. I ordered delivery because I'm pretty busy, but this kind of made me just waste a whole lot of time and I could have just went to the restaurant itself. All in all, terrible service but very good food. read more

I went there on Saturday Nov. 2 in the late evening looking for a good shawarma sandwich and when I looked at the menu I found it a little confusing. I asked the cashier Hasan to explain the menu and he was very rude and obnoxious about it as if I was stupid and couldnt understand the menu. He didnt even suggest anything, he was just so ridiculous that I'm never going back again. It's always full of loud men and stressful inside. Their menu is not easy to understand and it would have been nice if I was guided correctly to the kind of shawarma I wanted. Unfortunately I wasnt and their Shawarma sucked. He didnt even ask if we wanted sides or anything extra. Never going back, ever. read more

Duzan serves great food; has a great selection; and really gives you both quality and quantity. I specifically loved the authentic Mediterranean flavors and seasons. The add on options such as extra pita bread or pickled beats make the meals so much more than just chicken and rice. I purchased the chicken shawarma with rice and hummus. Enjoyed all of it. Unfortunately , although there is outside seating, the sidewalk was crowded and I could only order take out. The place gets super busy so be prepared for long lines unless you preorder on their website. read more

Definitely a good place for a quick bite, and it's definitely a substantial amount of food that they serve for the amount that you're paying. I just wasn't so sure about the quality, and the service wasn't so great either. The person who took my order just wasn't very patient or pleasant with me, but maybe she was having a bad day or something. For a quick bite I would return, but for an authentic Mediterranean cuisine experience I'd look elsewhere, and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if a friend of mine were to ask for a place to eat in queens. But, you may have a different experience, that's the beauty of trying new things, and new restaurants. To each their own. I hope this helps. Bom apetite. read more

Just came from this place, was charged $36.75 for 2 bowls, didn't get the receipt to know how I have been charged that much, but anyway that's not the complaint, the complaint is when I am spending that much money and specially when I asked for sauce, for which I am pretty sure they charged me extra, when I came home I found only 1 sauce in the bag, mind you this place is 35 minutes drive from my home, so should I drive back to ask for the sauce!! it's unbelievable, these people charges for every nickel and dime but don't even give enough for 2 bowls. Selling halal food, do it in halal way, after charging that much money sauce should be added automatically, and I heard the girl saying to so many people, you have to ask for the sauce when you order. That's how people looses business. I wish I could say nice doing business with you. read more

We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and Mix Grill entrees for our party of 7. I would say it's a pretty simple and standard order. No deviations, substitutions, or anything out of the ordinary. Despite that, our drinks took ~20 minutes, the appetizers took 30+ minutes, and our entrees 30+ minutes after that. The Mint Lemonade was so small and tasted artificial. For ~$9, I expect more. The only appetizers worth trying are the Hummus Baba Ganouj, and Falafel. Everything else sadly missed the mark. The Fatoush & Tabouleh were promising but pretty sad. It lacked dressing (lemon and olive oil), flavor, and there were way too many unnecessary lettuce leaves on or around the bowl. I did enjoy the Zikrayat Mix Grill. The meats were tender, well-seasoned, and juicy, the rice was light and fragrant, and it was filling. I found the appetizers to be overpriced and along with the extremely slow service, I didn't leave feeling like it was worth it. I don't think I'll be back.

Their renovation from a few years ago is really paying off, Waiting is a part of the experience, as folks will eventually pick items from the display and cooked to their liking.

I'm always trying to find a nice Mediterranean spot in Astoria for good chicken kebab and hummus,…read moreso I was really happy to stumble across this restaurant! I don't always want to spend over $100 just to have a simple meal, and sometimes all I need is a good chicken kebab combo with some rice, salad, or hummus on the side. It's simple, satisfying, and they always give you plenty of pita bread, so I'm definitely not leaving hungry. Food: 4/5 The chicken kebab is super tender, and from what I've seen, people who order the mixed meat platter seem really happy with the combination of lamb and chicken. Personally, I love their hummus. It's super tasty, and the salad with pickled vegetables is a nice touch that adds a little extra flavor to the meal. They do have other entrées on the menu, too, but since I avoid dairy, my options are a little more limited. That said, I've heard good things about their other dishes from people who have tried them. Overall, it's the kind of place where you can get a solid, satisfying Mediterranean meal without breaking the bank, and sometimes that's exactly what I'm looking for. Service:5/5 This is more of a casual, order-at-the-counter setup than a traditional sit-down restaurant. You place your order at the front, and they bring the food to your table. After that, though, you're pretty much on your own rather than having consistent table service with someone checking in on you throughout the meal. The restaurant is also quite small inside, especially when the outdoor seating area isn't open, so the experience is pretty straightforward: order, eat, and enjoy yourself. Personally, I don't need a lot of hand-holding during a dining experience, so this setup works perfectly fine for me. I can understand, though, how someone who prefers more attentive table service might find it a little lacking. Vibe: 5/5 It's super casual, and nobody should feel stressed about dining here. It's all good times! I've never felt bothered or rushed while eating here. I can just get my food, hang out with friends, enjoy my meal, and leave whenever I'm ready. Sometimes you don't need a fancy dining experience. You just want somewhere comfortable where you can relax and have a good meal, and this place delivers on that. All in all, I'd definitely come back! My only complaint is that it isn't quite as close to where I live as I'd like, but whenever I'm in the area, it's always a great place to visit. If you're looking for a casual Mediterranean spot in Astoria with tender chicken kebab, tasty hummus, generous pita, and reasonable prices, this is definitely worth checking out.

Food (5/5): We both ordered platters with different kinds of meat. You can't go wrong with the shawarma, both the chicken and the beef were well seasoned and juicy. I got the koufta which is minced meat with spices and enjoyed it. It took about 20 minutes for both of dishes to get ready. The cashier hooked us up with spicy and white sauce bottles so we could add to our hearts content. The pitas were just okay but nice to enjoy the meal with. Nutella baklava was fire. It tasted a bit stale after sitting out for too long but it was filled with chocolate-goodness!! It was very rich but very good. Realized while writing the review that feteer was the move!!

Drove 30 mins to pick up food for my nieces and nephews... come home with platters that have zero RICE in it! The kids won't touch it Bcs it's mixed with salad and Duzan doesn't care the slightest bit. I called and they said it's my fault Bcs when she asked what two sides I want, I said "salad"! The food is good and they are expanding but customer service and satisfaction is and will always be essential to any business! The one star is for the way my situation was handled. But the food is good. Update: The owner responds to me privately telling me to be ashamed at myself because he is risking his life to feed me! Seriously Mr.owner this was the first review I ever posted on yelp Bcs I actually liked your food and wanted to bring it to your attention! And your customers support you by putting their lives at risk and coming to your store and purchasing your food and supporting YOUR business!!! Instead of telling your customers to be ashamed of themselves maybe work on your customer service skills! You want a trophy for keeping your business open? Let us first get to every doctor out there first then we will get to you to THANK YOU! Perhaps if you were focusing more in making your customers feel appreciated and welcome instead of being focused on yelp reviews you wouldn't be getting this REVIEW! And maybe if you read my review the right way like when you guys took my order we wouldn't have this problem! I never said my niece called in the order! Don't you dare go there attacking an innocent child! And for your kind information you would be feeding me if your food was FREE not when I give you my money during this PANDEMIC!!! I've never experienced such disgusting customer service in my entire life! read more

I recently visited Duzan Mediterranean Grill and decided to try their Chicken Shawarma, after seeing all the hype on social media from food influencers. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with my meal. The chicken had absolutely no flavor and was so dry that it was almost impossible to swallow. It was such a letdown as I had high expectations for this dish based on the recommendations. The fries and hummus also left much to be desired, as they were completely tasteless. The Spicy Harrisah was another huge letdown as it had no flavor at all. I was hoping for some heat, but I couldn't even taste the spice. In fact, I would have preferred Tabasco sauce instead of the Harrisah, as at least it would have added some flavor to the dish. To make matters worse, the pita bread itself had more flavor than the entire meal. It was quite disappointing as I had high hopes for the chicken shawarma, but it turned out to be a complete waste of money. I felt like I had been catfished by the food influencers who had recommended the restaurant and hyped it up on social media. Overall, I would not recommend Duzan Mediterranean Grill for their Chicken Shawarma or any of their other dishes, as the food lacked flavor and was overall disappointing. While the service was decent and the restaurant itself was clean and well-decorated, the food was definitely not worth the visit. It's a shame because I was looking forward to a delicious Mediterranean meal, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. read more

Duzan Restaurant is absolutely amazing, and I would 100 percent recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Every time I visit, I make sure to order the shawarma platter, which never disappoints. The flavors are incredibly rich, with perfectly seasoned and tender meat that melts in your mouth. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave fully satisfied. One of the standout aspects of Duzan is their exceptional service. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick to cater to your needs, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. They create a welcoming environment that adds to the overall positive experience. The atmosphere at Duzan is warm and inviting, with a cozy and comfortable setting that makes it perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual meal with friends, a family gathering, or even a date night. The decor is charming, and the restaurant is always clean and well-maintained. In addition to their amazing shawarma platter, Duzan offers a variety of other delicious, authentic dishes that are worth exploring. Each dish is prepared with care and attention to detail, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Middle Eastern cuisine. If you're looking for a place that offers delicious, authentic food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere, Duzan Restaurant is the place to go. I can't praise it enough and will definitely keep coming back. It's a true gem in the dining scene, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal. read more

UPDATE: I was contacted by the owner apologizing for my disappointing experience, and I'm in the process of getting in contact with him. From a customer service stand point, I'm impressed, and hopefully I will have the opportunity to be impressed by the food. ORIGINAL REVIEW: ** I was really disappointed after reading so many positive reviews here on Yelp. I am willing to give Duzan the benefit of the doubt and hope that the dining-in experience is much better than the ordering-in. I ordered online through Grub Hub, the falafel platter with rice & salad, and added the Duzan fries for $1 extra. I was immediately disappointed upon seeing my meal. There were literally 5 fries, not exactly what I'd call an add-on. As I dove in to eat, I found that the entire meal was cold. I had to heat it up, and trying a second time, was still disappointed. Overall, the meal was incredibly dull and flavorless. The falafel was palatable, but certainly isn't anything I would recommend to anyone. On a good note, the plain rice was cooked well. The salad was what I expected, a few out-of-season tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, and sadly lackluster pickled radishes. Bottom line on this place: you get what you pay for. Duzan is incredibly inexpensive, and the food reflects the low price point. Unfortunately for them, there are other equally affordable falafel offerings in Astoria, that also happen to be incredibly delicious. I will not be ordering from Duzan again. read more

This 5 Star review comes to you live & direct from a 12-year veteran of new york city. I have eaten many sandwiches in this city and Duzan's $5 Chicken Shwarma sandwich w/ Free salad bar is pound for pound, one of the best sandwiches in new york. You will revel in the amount of flavor that floats over your taste buds. Meat: The Chicken is succulent, well seasoned, and plentiful. Bread: A fluffier take on the traditional pita, this bread, with its nice moist density, is split open to house its ingredients. Extras: After the bread is lightly slathered with hot pepper oil and herb-garlic puree, the fireworks begin, as you have the option of adding onions, pickled cabbage and other house veggies to your sandwiches. Go for all of them. *Make sure to request the two sauce varieties with your sandwich, as they meld nicely with the other flavors and are nice to add before bites. Salad Bar: Not to be outdone by the toppings, Duzan offers three varieties of 'slaw; traditional, pickled red and a more sour variety. From there, you can munch on pita sticks, pickles and hot peppers. Overall, great gem of a restaurant in Long Island City! read more

I have so much to say about this place and the people, Idk where to start! I've been coming here for years and been introducing it to all my friends. The owners and staff are very friendly and handsome too I must say, MashAllah. There used to be a guy with nice eyes there many years ago. And now there's a guy with curly hair and a nice smile and muscles. He looked as good as the food!! LOL the young girl, the cashier was nice enough to let me charge my phone bc it completely died and I really needed it for an important call. The place was packed even during a snowstorm! That should tell you how good the food it! I had the chicken shwarma. Such soft bread, tasted like it was made in heaven. I could just have it by itself. And the orange sauce by itself too. Sooo freaking good. Don't trust the bad reviews!! Go try it yourself and then decide if you like it or not. And hello beautiful staff members if you're reading this, I'll be back for more "love and shawarma" :P read more

I first tried this place a couple of weeks ago when I wanted a quick sandwich on my way home. I ordered the chicken shawarma. Oh my goodness, it was the best tasting sandwich I have ever had. I decided to take my friend there this past Friday. We got there late and decided to dine in. The owners told us we could stay as late as we wanted and they were super nice and very attentive. My friend ordered the chicken shawarma and I ordered the abu gosh (hummus with garlic and pine nuts) It was so delicious. I find myself going back there every chance I get. Tonight I ordered hummus with shawarma in it. Again, absolutely unbeatable. I am going to recomend this place to everyone I know and I will definitely take my out-of-town guests there. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Duzan for years, but my recent experiences have been disappointing. While I understand prices going up, it's frustrating that the quality of food has gone down at the same time. The new packaging is noticeably smaller, meaning you get less food than before. I've also noticed that even when I order extra meat, I'm only getting about three extra pieces now, and the price for that has jumped from $4 to $6. It's disheartening to see a place I once loved change so much, especially when I'm paying more for less. I hope they reconsider these changes because the current experience doesn't live up to the Duzan I once knew. read more

Duzan in Astoria is a fantastic spot for Middle Eastern food, offering flavorful dishes at great value. The lamb kafta is well-seasoned and juicy, while the chicken shawarma pairs perfectly with their creamy, rich hummus. Their hummus and pita are standout items--fresh, smooth, and satisfying. The "All You Can Meat" option is a great way to sample a variety of proteins, making it an excellent deal. Their salad with baked pita adds a refreshing crunch to balance out the meal. Overall, Duzan delivers consistently delicious food with generous portions. 5/5 - highly recommended! read more

This is a fast food restaurant not a regular dining place. It has a few tables and plasti chairs but definetely not a place to take out your girlfriend, friends, etc. It's a place to have a quick, cheap food. The owner (not the server) charged me mandatory 20% for the service, without giving me an option to decide what percentage I want to give. The rice they made stinks as they used oil from pipes. We couldn't stand it. The meat was Okay and the server was very nice. I would never recommend anyone to go there. It's the worst experience I had in a restaurant. read more

The chicken platter has definitely improved: the texture is juicier and the breading holds up well, giving each bite a satisfying crunch. Seasoning on the chicken still needs work -- a bolder, more balanced spice blend would lift the dish from good to great. The fries are the standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and seasoned just right -- truly amazing. Overall, it's a clear step forward with room to refine the chicken's flavor; I'd order it again and recommend it to anyone who loves a hearty, comforting meal. read more

The chicken shawarma platter is packed with a great amount of chicken and rice. Then you have hummus, salad, and pickles on the side. Chef's kiss. They drench it in white and hot sauce but I spared myself the heartburn that day and didn't get the hot sauce. Flavors are what you expect for a shawarma so it doesn't disappoint at all. I got a pita and a side of baba ghanoush as well. The pita was the average sized pita. A great addition to my already heavy meal. I ate the baba ghanoush with my pita and even threw it onto my platter. It wasn't a bad idea considering that the baba ghanoush was really good. It had a less creamy texture and rather a more "homemade" type of look. Don't be alarmed by the sight of it because it was good. I think my only thing is that I'd love to see more toppings - maybe some carrots, cabbage, cucumbers? But other than that, I got 0 complaints. The place is small with a few seating options.

Service was great, but there is a mandatory 20% gratuity if you come here with a group.

Overall the food was tasty. My friends and I ordered the Kofta Kabab, a lamb kabab, shrimp kabab…read moreand a chicken korma. The naan was pretty bland so you should bypass ordering this. What we found very odd was the fact that they served NO TAP WATER. Why is this? NYC water is delicious and it feels very strange that in order to drink water we have to actually purchase bottled water. We opted for soft drinks but this feels like a major flaw with this eatery.

Stole a piece of pita from my friend and it was soft and chewy in the best of ways! Despite scarfing this down at midnight, I didn't feel too bogged down with grease and regret. I love a good late night spot like Halal Munchies.

Found this spot on a late night run! I don't normally get halal because it definitely a cheat meal…read more I grabbed my go to chicken over rice. It came with fries and they packed us extra white sauce on the side! I got a chance to eat some inside and decided to take the rest home. The table had not been clean but it was the only one available. They were quick with the food. They give an option of ordering with staff or on the machines. It was a tad spicy but it was tolerable. It wasn't as great as my regular to go halal spot but it was good.

I placed my order on the app for a munch box which gives you a mini döner wrap with a small side of fries. Order pick up was quick and easy. The wrap was very tasty. I opted for zabiha halal chicken as the protein, but you also have the option of beef or a mix of the two. It came wrapped with veggies and a creamy sauce. The fries were seasoned well, but not as crisp as I would have liked it. I'm not sure if it's just like that on the norm or the got soggy in transport to home. Overall I enjoyed the meal. I would come back for another meal.

Got a 2 Good to Go box here. The meal was fine, felt mostly like a hot food bar leftover mix of…read morerice, chicken, and a saucy vegetable medley. Chicken was dry. I kind of wished it would be the juicy rotisserie chicken I read other reviews on. But I also ordered a separate side of hummus and grape leaves and wow, these were delicious. Grape leaves were flavorful and filled with rice and vegetable the guy said, but it felt mostly like rice to me. The hummus was the best thing I ate. 10/10. So creamy, buttery light, almost whipped, so fresh and good! I never want store brand hummus again! $5 for a small, which is quite a big size dish that will last me for days, so 100% worth it. I would get this again. The actual 2 Good to Go platter was not my fave, but I'm so glad I got that hummus and grape leaves. Both were $5 and a big portion, so very good deal. Service was fine. Ambiance is very casual, narrow walkway with the food display on one side and bar stool/counter top on the other side, with a little middle eastern style market and butcher bar in the back.

Al Nour is a small neighborhood ethnic grocery store which sells various middke eastern/south asian…read moreproducts including halal meat. The front of the store is a restaurant with steam trays and kebabs. There are a few counter seats for dine in. We had the steam tray plate which comes with a choice of three dishes. They were ok, would not have it again though since it was a bit bland. Will probably try the kebabs next time. The meat section looks fresh though.

I stood at the register for more than five minutes while a working cutting meat kept looking at me. Finally another worker came and gave me my food. The diner box with fries and salad tasted good but it wasn't much of a salad. Mostly lettuce and one piece of tomato and just a little cabbage. The garlic bread was not evenly spread with garlic sauce or cheese. The bread was also hard I would get the doner meat again but not the garlic bread. Also recommend addling for 3x the sauce because the meat needs it
