Decent quality bagels! Had the pleasure of stopping by here before a concert for a quick bite. I ordered the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel itself was done right - slightly crispy on the outside, a little (but not too) chewy on the inside. Did the flavors blow me away? Not really, but I was satisfied. Service was quick and efficient. What I liked is that this seems to have its fair share of regulars sitting outside, adding to the New York ambiance. In short, I would come back if I was in the area.

Homemade egg sandwich on a plain bagel

I'm very picky about my bagels when it comes to size, texture, chew, taste, and how well they hold up in sandwich form. I've gone to many bagel shops in the boroughs and on long island in my decades of New York living. Forest Hills Bagels is one of my go-to spots. The only knocks I have are some of the bagels aren't consistent in shape and when the server blindly gives me one of the misshapen bagels. Otherwise, they are solid bagels and they even have a juice bar for those into a healthier lifestyle. They're renovated the inside relatively recently and it's a nice upgrade

Toasted Everything Bagel with Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese
Carina H.

This bagel shop felt like an authentic NYC bagel shop, not a social media famous spot. There was only a few seats, so this is more of a grab and go kind of place. On the weekend, there was everyone from moms with kids to individuals there wanting to grab bagels. This spot was bustling. It wasn't too crowded and while there wasn't a wait to order, there was a bit of a wait for our orders. I ordered the toasted Everything Bagel with Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese. Although the Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese was good, it felt more of a dessert filling than a sweet cream cheese. The Everything Bagel itself was perfect, chewy and soft at the same time.

Got a couple of moldy bagels the first time we came here :( The place is located in a weird place by the side of the blvd too, not easy to walk to

Not the best bagel I've have or the best breakfast sandwich just kinda basic flavors and textures. Nothing fancy. Service was fast and got my order right but the food was just eh

Lox Bagel- fantastic
Najwa G.

Forest Hills Bagels is really great and I am glad that they are open 365 days a week (albeit I hold their employees get vacation too everyone needs it). This place deserves all the hype that it gets- it's solid fresh bagels at fantastic prices, what's not to love? They also don't skimp on the lox and capers if you order a classic lox bagel and you can tell the salmon is fresh quality. Coffee could be better but I could care less about that to be honest. Every employee is super nice too despite how busy it gets. All in all, I will seemingly always go to Forest Hills Bagels whenever I'm in the area (and rightfully so)!

I stopped by Sunday afternoon, and I could tell this was a neighborhood favorite because the parking lot was packed. Fortunately, it is a high-traffic area so you will not have to wait long for a parking space. I ordered a sesame bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese ($5) and a toasted egg bagel with butter ($2.50). These bagels are definitely on the softer and fluffier side and while they lack that thick crust, I thought they were very easy and delicious to eat. I wasn't a fan of the sundried tomato cream cheese though, as it had a strange chalky mouthfeel.

Hey there glad you guys are back and making bagels the way forest hills has always been congrats as usual my cup of cafe and a butter bagel with turkey bacon yum yum go get you some.

I'm a fan! This is a real NYC bagel spot. We got a sesame bagel with egg and cheese, everything bagel with 2 eggs, cheese, HASH BROWNS, and a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was so good, this place deserves a higher rating than what it has in my opinion. Service was attentive, fast, and delicious. Iced coffee also hit the spot, what more can you ask for?

Sausage egg cheddar cheese on an everything bagel
Amanda M.

This is our go-to quick takeout breakfast spot! They have some parking and some outdoor dining, but we always do take out. Sometimes there is too little cheese or egg, but the vast majority of the time they are consistent with really fast service. Takes credit card.

I really enjoyed lunch at this place! They've recently rebranded to Austin Street Cafe/Bar & Grill…read more- and they have a sort of diner-esque vibe with a full-service bar ($7 happy hour cocktails!!!) They started us off with a croissant on the house, which was pretty good. Nice attention to detail as it was served with a heart-shaped side of butter. Also part of their happy hour menu are a couple select bar bites. I went for the chicken quesadillas, and it was a hearty portion at their price point. And it had a great flavor - chicken was nice and juicy. Natalie was our server, and was very attentive and friendly throughout our time here. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Natalie and the manager brought us some cookies on the house to take home. Nothing but praise to be sung about this spot - I hear they're looking into possibly incorporating live music next. Will definitely be back - two thumbs up!

This is probably my 4th or 5th visit and each visit has us ordering the Branzino, that should tell you something. Also note, I'm not a 'fish person', and I can't get enough of this Branzino. In addition to the AMAZING BRANZINO, we enjoyed steak frites, oxtail croquettes, fried calamari and a Boston wedge salad. Everything was amazing and delicious. The calamari has a sweet honey sauce drizzled on it. The salad was fresh and crisp, delicious dressing and crispy bacon included. We were very full but there's always room for dessert. Tried the key lime pie, stellar. If you're in Forest Hills be sure to check out White Radish. Staff is very friendly and amazing from beginning to end. Restaurant noise level is low to average. I'll be dreaming of that Branzino sauce tonight, ah, until next time :)

And the place seems nice enough where it's not too loud. I was surprised to see only 1 other table. It's lunch time, I thought there would be more business. The service was good except the waiter kept on asking us if we wanted a starter. We politely declined a few times. The food was good. I ordered a cheeseburger and my friend ordered the 1/2 chicken. She said it was a little salty. But OK. My burger/fries was $19 and the chicken $22. Overall, it was OK. It is a nice restaurant. They should really offer lunch specials like the rest of Forest Hills restaurants. They can draw more people in for lunch. Bareburger has a lunch special $15 for any burger/fries with a soda. Mad for Chicken has lunch specials too.

The pink walls, there was a bookshelf available with books to read and cat photos to gaze upon. There was menus available at the front to take and review and we can sit down as the food is brought to us. It's more so of an Asian menu with bubble tea, green teas/black teas hot and cold options and eats such as salads, banh mi's, Chinese jianbings, sandwiches, and some dim sum like the shrimp dumplings I got. It was 10 for $10 which was a pretty good deal as that is affordable and it was delicious. It came out fast and warm and I finished it quickly with my friend. I also got some fruit green teas and it was the perfect balance of sweet and taste of the teas. My friend got the bacon cheese jianbing (not pictured) and it was bigger than she imagined with a lot of fillings. It was very much worth it and I would come back here again!

Slightly disappointed that they do not get any of their ingredients from a local bakery. We saw their delivery of store bought croissants and vegetables. Doesn't look like anything is made here fresh by what we witnessed were delivered. Also they have a time limit for customers...each purchase allows 2 hours of seating. They WILL kick you out. Plus there are gnats flying around. I had to catch two while the employees are all hanging out behind the register not cleaning up the tables. Why do the customers have to clean the tables before seating? Lastly it looks like they are constantly changing their prices v their main menu prices are taped over. Definitely sus Cute looking place & vibes but there are plenty of local restaurants nearby. Just keep walking folks!

It was crowded and they were doing a good take out business. When the meal was ready, the lady behind the counter brought over the tray with the food. We got kale and broccoli as the two sides. The chicken was seasoned well. It was interesting to see they rubbed under the skin as well as on top. The skin was nice and crispy. The white meat part is a little dry. The dark meat was very good. The best were the two sides. It's hard to not overcook broccoli but it was still crunchy and well seasoned. The kale was also cooked the same way as the broccoli. It had a lot of flavor. After you finish you bring your tray up and they do the rest.

The Food The cooking…read morehere is the real thing -- not the flattened, one-note version of Indian food that so many places settle for, where everything arrives tasting vaguely of the same sauce. At Tikka n' Talk, the spicing has genuine architecture. Each dish has its own personality, its own balance, its own arc from first bite to last. You taste individual spices rather than a generic wall of heat, and there's a depth underneath that only comes from someone who actually knows what they're doing. The tikka is outstanding and lives up to the name -- properly charred at the edges, smoky from real high-heat cooking, and still tender inside. That combination is harder to pull off than it looks, and getting it right every time takes skill. The curries have body and complexity. Sauces that have clearly been built rather than assembled, with layers that reveal themselves as you eat. Nothing is greasy, nothing is heavy in the bad way, and nothing tastes like it came out of a can. The bread deserves its own mention. Fresh, blistered, warm -- the kind you keep tearing off pieces of long after you're full. The Room and the Service The name isn't accidental. This is a place designed for lingering, and the atmosphere delivers on it. Warm, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming without being fussy. It's the kind of room where conversation flows easily, where you settle in without noticing an hour has passed. The staff are a huge part of that. Warm, attentive without hovering, and clearly happy you came. They know the menu cold and will steer you well if you ask -- including on spice levels, which they'll actually calibrate to what you want rather than defaulting to whatever's easiest. That kind of care shows up everywhere in the experience. Food comes out hot, timed well, and exactly as ordered. Basic things, but plenty of places fail at them. The Bottom Line Tikka n' Talk is the rare restaurant that's excellent on every axis at once -- the cooking is skilled, the room is inviting, and the people running it obviously care. It's become a regular for us, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who asks where to eat. If you haven't been, go. Order more than you think you need. Stay a while -- the name is an instruction, and it's good advice. Highest possible recommendation.

The wings were a delight, coated with sweetness; the vegetable dish was fiery with each heaping.read more
