The shawarma is so freaking good here. Just eat it and be happy, your not getting sandwiches like this anywhere else in queens let alone all the 5 Boros. It the closest sandwich to back home you'll get without getting pulled over by the idf read more

This place is amazing and I've been coming here for years. The chicken shawarma is delicious and I always get it in a bowl, which comes with 2 sides. I usually get it with rice and salad. The portions are very generous. Their falafels are tasty as well and I love that there are several flavorful sauces you can choose from to top it off. read more

Duzan is one of my favorite spots and anytime I'm in the area ill stop my for some of their chicken. Whether its just a grilled chicken platter or chicken kabab theirs is some of the best I've had in the city. Their fries and rice sides are pretty bomb also, which makes the platters very worth it. They have good vegan options and i love their falafel with a side of fries. Don't forget the Duzan sauce and tahini sauces. read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I could. For the food, I'd give it 3 stars, then an additional 0.5 stars for the effort. Since they're a new place, I'll reward them for their earnestness and give them 4 stars. My wife and I shared a chicken shawarma plate. It was ok. The chicken shawarma was shredded up -- I don't know... I guess I was expecting the pieces to be a little thicker. It tasted pretty good. One of our friends ordered the falafel and it looked amazing so I look forward to trying that next time. I like going to new restaurants because the employees are very eager to please. They were really excited about having us as first time customers. Also, they're pretty laid back... I wanted to pay right when I ordered just to get it out of the way, but the guy was like, don't worry about the money... eat first and we'll take care of the money later. I like going to places with that attitude. Definitely try it out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Phenomenal. No words to describe how delicious this place is. Puts halal places in Brooklyn by me to shame.

I've walked by this place before on my journey up Steinway but never really paid much attention to it. I finally took the dive in and ordered delivery from here. I ordered it directly from seamless web and within 35 minutes, I had delicious food at my door. I ordered the mixed grill and the kuffa (sp?) for desert. The main entree came with a salad (beets, tomato, lettuce, and pickles), pita, and rice with a variety of meat. The food was fresh, tasty, and the portions were generous. I tasted like a lot of the middle eastern fare I've had before, but the price is right and the portions are great. The kuffa is very similar to baklava but instead of the pistachios are sandwiched in between something similar to shredded wheat cereal. read more

This place has great food! I've tried the falafel and shawarma which were both delish but the falafel is king! Seriously might be the best I've had in NYC and definitely my favorite in Queens. Also love their homemade sauces and hummus! read more

Duzan - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

FANTASTIC. Everything from their schnitzel to their falafel to their different yummy dips are all delicious. Not to mention their fluffy, warm and fresh pitas. We ordered delivery and it came in under 30 minutes and everything was perfect. I highly recommend literally anything on the menu. You won't be disappointed! read more

Duzan - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

I love Duzan. I moved back to Astoria about three weeks ago and I've ordered from Duzan at least five times. The food is so delicious that every time the question comes up, "should we order food?". Duzan wins every time. Falafel sandwich...amazing. Fool...has a zesty, citrus quality All salads...fresh and full of flavor. Drawbacks... Place your order before you get hungry. It's going to be a while before it gets delivered. However, the food is so good...I just can't subtract a star. read more

I used to think that "shawarma" was a dirty word. In Russia, it is synonymous with dog meat. But even if Fido was spared, why would anyone settle for oily scraps of animal by-products when they could have the real thing? Duzan totally changed my perception of this oft-misunderstood menu item. Their chicken shawarma sandwich is AMAZING. The meat is flavorful and just moist enough. And more importantly, it actually resembles chicken. Do not fear the shawarma! read more

I was ordering from this place almost for 2 months. I understand that sometimes is super busy ,but few times was waiting for food almost 2 hours,l called few times and every time got an answer 'will be there in few minutes ',once l even haven't gotten the food! I can't understand this unprofessional act,this is unbelievable! Terrible place! read more

I love it all! Make sure you try all the sauces .. food is fresh and authentic! Parking is a pain but well worth the effort.

My experience from Duzan is only with take-out. Got the chicken shawarma, and for queens, in my opinion this is the best chicken shawarma place availaible, the city seems to have alot of competition in terms of the mediterranean food scene, and while the lamb shawarma is often the feature dish of places like mamouns, i would say that's akin to the chicken shawarma of Duzan. It's seasoned perfectly, the tahini sauce flavor isn't overpowering and the salad in the pita pocket isn't soggy. It's all fresh and made to order, which i love. If you want a well seasoned, filling yet not overly heavy meaty shawarma, this place is perfect. read more

Love their falafel, hummus, babaganoush, salads & sauces. Have also had the beef/lamb combo with the couscous. SO GOOD. And dangerously close to my parent's house. Knocking off a star because service isn't always amazing but the food is good, you get a lot of it and it's still one of the most reasonably priced lunch/take out places in Astoria. Now that I'm back in Queens I can see myself being a regular for sure. read more

Chicken shawarma bowl and chicken kebab bowl were both very good. The chicken is so well seasoned and flavorful. Excellent food!

I've been eating from Duzan for a few years and it's easily the best falafel in the city, possibly the country and likely half the middle east. No joke. Everything else is awesome too. After eating their bread and the hummus, I felt like I was transported to another land. All the food is really fresh and authentic. I often buy extra bread and hummus to take home. I won't even buy hummus at a store anymore. The food is seriously amazing, and there's every fresh and pickled addition one could ask for. The tabouleh is fantastic too. read more

Duzan is so delicious! I can always count on them for a great and filling meal! The owner is an extremely nice guy, who strives to takes care of his costumers. In terms of food, I'm a huge fan of their falafel platters and their chicken shawarma. I also have to note that their hummus and pita bread is spot on. They serve different types of hummus, and all of them are fantastic. I love it here! read more

I come to Queens every year to work the US Open and I usually eat at this spot at least 3-4 times. It's that damn good. Seriously. If you enjoy shawarma, falafel, lamb or just that type of food you need to check this place out. Steinway has an over abundance of Mediterranean and middle eastern food so for this place to really stick out says something. They've renovated in the last few years and positioned themselves as a sort of Mediterranean Chipotle. You pick if you want a pita, wrap, or bowl then your meat and toppings and sauce. Be prepared, the portions are huge. This is the best quick stop Mediterranean place anywhere. Hands down. read more

The goto spot for fast casual Turkish Mediterranean food. I prefer the beef lamb over the chicken here but chicken is also good. Try the garlic spread if you like garlic it packs a garlic punch. read more

Duzan Mediterranean Grill doesn't disappoint! Service was great, food was incredible, and the sauces were quite flavorful. I got the beef & lamb mixed plate with fries and hummus on the side- the flavor meat was beyond what I expected.; portions were very generous- barely finished it. This plate cost me around $11. All I could say is, money well spent for sure. Thank you Duzan, keep it up. read more

Duzan - Beef and Lamb mixed shawarma plate. Best plate of food I've had in NY thus far. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

I live around the corner from this place and have at LEAST 1 meal a week there, if not more. The falafel is utterly amazing, cooked fresh for every order. Every friend I bring there is floored by the quality of the food. The service is friendly and it's obvious these guys care about their food. I have stopped ordering falafel anywhere else (other than Taim in Manhattan) simply because nothing stands up to Duzan's! The hummus is great and the salads are wonderful. The price is so low and the quality is so high, you honestly can't lose. I would suggest dining in simply for the attention they pay to their customers. Thanks Duzan for giving me a great neighborhood spot to get fantastic food! read more

Found this place near our last night hotel at Fairfield. Hummus was really tasty! Food was good! Good price and portion. Will return if we are back in this area. read more

Seriously I do not know why this place has so many good reviews!!! It's disgusting and non tasty food and expensive too . We ordered the bowl, the pita and all the food was tasteless !! . We just wasted $55 dollars!!! read more

Duzan - Disgusting food!!! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Queens, New York

I pass this every day on my walk back from the train and feel bad that I'm not eating there more often. The one time I DID eat here, I can barely describe. I got chicken. In a pita. Along with almost every vegetable that was available. Everything was fresh and delicious. My only complaint would be that it wasn't spicy enough, though I'm sure if I wasn't the worst person ever and went here more, we'd be able to work something out more to my liking through getting to know each other better. read more

Big portions! My friend and I shared a dish for about $10 and still had leftovers. We are definitely going back more often. Their menu is chipotle style. You have option like pita or bowl and then you choose two sides and a meat. We got the grilled chicken with rice and salad with white sauce. It was so yummy! The best part is that everything was healthy! I can see why this place is so popular. read more

Stopped in to eat at Duzan this time, not takeout. Placed our order for a chicken schwarma and falafel sandwiches. We were asked if we wanted our food "spicy", this was a new option for me, so I said yes. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I have raved about Duzan on many occasions, and I am constantly encouraging my fellow friends and Yelper's to taste their delicious food, but this is changed my meal entirely. Thanks for the tip and that peppery spiciness. See you soon Duzan read more

Excellent food!!! Chicken is tender and juicy and seems pretty fresh!! Their salads are also tasty and the pickled foods are nice and crunchy! Will definitely come back again when in the area!! read more

Food is really great. Only thing that bugged me is how they make their preparers run around and rush. It's really silly because they were making those little mistakes and it seem to make it take a lot longer to prepare the food. They need to slow down and focus. Also I don't want to see anybody get hurt. read more

First time here at recommendation of local colleague/friend. Delicious food, warm atmosphere (check out the beautiful short story that literally overlooks everything there) and, despite being busy, the staff made sure I was paid attention to. I live in Brooklyn but I will journey up to Queens again for Duzan. read more

Oh My Lord! I can not begin to explain how good the food is here. Stumbled in here last week got a chicken shawarma sandwich. MMM where do i start. The bread was amazing i think they bake it fresh because it was so soft and tasted so fresh. They packed the sandwich with flavorful chicken and salads. When i say packed i mean PACKED!!!! so bring an appetite. I cant wait to go back and try out their platters. read more

Re-opened after 4 months and did not disappoint. This place is my favorite shawarma place in NY. I got the chicken platter with hummus and salad. Everything is perfect and I left as a happy customer. The falafels are really good too but my personal favorite is the chicken schnitzel. Next time you are in the area definitely stop by and check them out. read more

I had high expectations for this place based on the yelp reviews. While this was good I dont think its anything to go out of your way for. The pita bread was fresh, the falafel is tasty and so is the hummus. I love the idea of the add your own condiment bar(pickles, jalapenos etc) but everything in it looked like it had been sitting out forever and kind of dirty so I couldn't try any of those things. The whole place could use a facelift(good cleaning, paint). If it were cleaner and that pickle bar was fresher I would go back for the falafel for sure. read more

Love the food here, but so annoyed about the delivery time that I feel the need to change my review. I don't feel like an hour+ is a justifiable time for delivery. If it is a problem the hire more staff? Obviously I'm not the only one that feels this way from the other reviews. The food is outstanding but you will use customers if you don't improve your delivery system. read more

UPDATE: Hasan from Duzan took the time to send a personal text following this review to make the situation better. He explained that the normal meats for the mix grill platter had run out (although over 45min after our order), and that replacements had been sent in substitution. The food really is good here, and if I could give a separate rating just for deliciousness, it would be an easy 5 stars. The follow-up was very much appreciated, and I'm relieved to know that this was a mistake, and not a conscious policy for the restaurant. Moral of the story - it's super popular here. On a normal night, things work well, but peak night service might be best done via take-out or dine-in rather than delivery. ---- We ordered early at 4:45PM due to the expected crush with heavy snow tonight. Well, our food came 2 hours later, and it was not what we ordered. Despite giving more than double the base tip due to the tough conditions (over 25%), we were rewarded with subpar substituted old leftovers. We order the Mix Grill Platter frequently, and know what should be in it. We were given two dry as hell old pieces of chicken and a sausage. No shawarma, no moisture, pathetic. We called to report the issue no more than 5 minutes after the food arrived, and surprise surprise, the place had closed so that nobody could complain. If food runs out, call us and let us know so we can go elsewhere. Don't take two hours to send us old food. We were frequent customers, and this is so disrespectful and such shoddy service, we will not be ordering from this restaurant again. read more

Yes they renovated the place and updated the menu but check it: it no longer looks like a dilapidated 7-11 and while the menu system is reminiscent of Chipotle, the quality/quantity of the food offered has not suffered. Ordering salad as one of your sides is key since it's not just boring lettuce and tomato but a full blown delicious salad made with their previous fixin' bar goodies. This adds an important dimension to a platter since you really miss out without it. Hummus is perfect, warm pita is godly, mains are solid, and their harissa is no joke. read more

Disgusting disgusting disgusting the owner needs to hire more employees nasty kitchen food all over the place be ready to wait 1 hour to eat even after you order never again read more

It was our second time here we had a good experience the first time but the second time It's a Principle thing, you wait in line for 15 min and than wait another 10 min for your order that includes an order of a side of hummus. To get to your table to realize there is no bread, than you get a little Attitude from one of the guys working in the grill area when you ask why there isn't any bread, long story short I waited again and asked for bread(2 pitas) I was charged, I have never been to a place in my life that serves a side order of hummus without bread. Customer service is Number one in the Resturant business and today I was an upset customer that probably won't be returning. read more

This place was quiet busy and had limited sitting. Definitely would not recommend it it for a larger group if you want to sit and eat, but good for small groups. But overall the food was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was extremely tasty that I was licking my fingers. Would definitely go there again and surely tell others to try out some Mediterranean food; you would not regard this. Went there with my parents and my aunt, and they surely enjoyed it, that they packed some food for home. Can't wait to go there again. read more

We got Chicken Shawarma and were very satisfied. Nothing special, nothing extra, just tasty and well prepared meat which, considering the price, is excellent deal. Green interior is smoothing, I am glad there was no loud music like in many similar places. All an all, very nice experience and the trip to the intersection of Steinway St. and Astoria Blvd. was totally worth it. And after the meal, you can have Dunkin Donuts coffee which is just the other side of the street. read more
