I usually get the Kofta Kabab but this time it was a bit burnt. I also like hungry man which includes sausage & other meats & is pretty damn good. I really like the Kofta Kabab too. Their steak is too dry & bland though. My brother choked on it & I thought he was gonna die. Their fries are ok. The salad is good. The rice platters come with fries & salad but the sandwiches dont.

Lamb shank with rice
Anna L.

I'm a bit disappointed in the food based on the good reviews here. I had the lamb shank with rice. The lamb was very tender, but both the rice and lamb lacked flavor. The rice was very oily as well. There was also an employee who was talking about an inappropriate NSFW incident of his which ruined the mood. The other employees were nice though.

Menu

Service, Price and Food Quantity...This place deserves nothing less than 5 stars! Ever since I've moved to NY, my husband has been wanting to bring me here. He can't stop raving about this place, so I finally decided to try it last night. My husband had his usual Kofta Sandwich. Since I'm not a big sandwich eater, I decided to try the hot menu bar. I saw Lamb Shank and Beef Shank and could not resist, nor decide which to get lol. I asked the staff for his recommendation and he said, "I can do half and half for you if you like." Yay!! I opened the platter, and was blown away by the amount of food I just received for $13! This is the real deal! Delicious, fatty, moist...win! The platter come with delicious saffron rice and bread. Though on the heavier side, you won't be able to stop eating so be careful! It was way too much food for me so I had left overs for the next day and it tasted even better! All I can say is, if your in Astoria, don't miss out on this hidden gem! It's well worth your money!! I can't wait to go back!

This place has hearty homemade food. Tasty Moroccan style cuisine. Their fries are seasoned southern style and are very tasty. They are not skinny and oily but medium thickness and crunchy. Their sandwiches are big and full of the meat of your choice.... (no pork). Their dishes are generous but they only give you the option of rice, vegetables, or fries with their meat. Of course you could get both for extra but it's well worth it. If you come in the morning get their falafel sandwich, so fresh and well done.

Chicken Tajine with Vegetables
Imtiaz S.

Tajine, made with either meat, poultry or fish, is a cross between a slow cooked stew and a pot roast. It is an age old nomadic food named after the earthen pot in which the dish is cooked. There are broadly two styles, .Qidra style Tajine, which is made with "Saman" (clarified butter); and the Muqawlli style, which is made in olive oil. Dried fruits like dates, apricots and plums are added to give it its unique taste. Needless to say, there are spices, some very exotic ones, that additionally flavor the dish. In some places, they make the Tajine by smoking the earthen pot over a gentle olive wood fire. The beauty of the dish is that it is gourmet proof. When it comes to Tajine, any day of the week, I will take a Grand Ma over a fancy Michelin Chef. BUT sadly there are very few real Tajine places in the tri state area. There is hardly anyone who can do it like Tanjawi Sandwich Shop. This place consistently gets it right. Yes, it started off decades ago, as a hole in the wall, sandwich shop with a mile-long line waiting to order food. It is a messy and chaotic place. Recently it has expanded and has added a few tables. It is still messy and chaotic. But very few can compete against this humble place in terms of the sandwich or its Tajine. Generally, it has at least two Tajines (Chicken and Lamb Shanks) but occasionally has some very unusual Tajines also. Fans of grilled meats will be thrilled. They have a vast selection. The lamb sausage, Merguez, is outstanding (sandwich or platter). They have grilled Rocky Mountain Oysters on the menu too. Start off a meal at Tanjawi with the best Harira Soup in United States. (period). Harira is a legendary hearty soup. made of tomato, lentils, and chickpeas. Includes meat, but can be vegetarian. Then have a Tajine or Grilled Meat for your main dish. Save some room, for the mint tea and a flat bread pancake with honey (desert). Yes, this place is a messy hole in the wall. Very chaotic, but who cares, the food is unparalleled.

Fresh meat
Mary A.

Place is small, only have 8-9 stools? But this small place seems to be the place where magic happens? There is no menu, well I didn't see one so I basically watched what other people ordered and asked the guys what was good to get... From there I ordered: Fresh grilled fish meal that came with a side of rice--I think you can substitute for fries? Got the chicken roast meal with rice Cheese steak Cheese burger A "hungry man meal" which had a few pieces of chicken, 2 sausage things, and a piece of steak with rice And got three drinks, totaling to be like $55? The food was yummy, the rice though I wasn't crazy about, wasn't up to par with my taste buds :/ Overall was happy with my dinner, would come back for sandwiches ! They really do need to expand and find a bigger spot with better seating!

Walking around Astoria looking for a shawarma shop we stopped here as the other great shawrma spot was under renovation. Place had a little jam outside as there were a bunch of people ordering togo and waiting. The sitting area inside is more or less like a quick bite stool and table by the wall as the kitchen takes most of the space as it is needed with all the good stuff they have on the menu. Looking through the kitchen you can see all the great kebabs ready to be cooked and all the great lamb, beef and veggie broth trays. We started off by ordering a Chicken kebab , Falafel and kofta sandwiches, also beef and lamb broth platters with a large side order of french fries. Now the taste...... what can i say it just was amazing ...rightly cooked and the orders jsut came out all at same time rather than one at a time so we could all enjoy are food. Party of 5 killed a lot of food and we wanted more. Had a nice discussion with the owners who are Moroccan and gave us a good intro of their food which they said they order fresh meat everyday and marinate it with the basic ingredients ever. Food was right and the way the kitchen worked was every more of a jaw dropper with all the traffic in the store. Do visit if you are in town as you cannot go wrong.

The sandwich itself is good just wish it was a bit bigger for the price you pay. But I have to say each time I had it the sandwich was good. I never had any of their bagels so can't really speak on that but they do look pretty good. Overall their menu is pretty decent and you can order pretty much anything and customize anything they have as well. The staff is very nice and the place has plenty of seating in the back and outside as well.

Whether you're in the neighborhood or just East, you're likely going to pass it on the way to the train. With solid outdoor picnic-style tables, it's a fantastic alternative to Espresso 77. Inside there's some more great seating with a high counter, plenty of more large tables and some smaller ones. Queing up to order is fairly straightforward and the large hanging menu makes it easy to figure out what you might like. IMHO, sandwiches are the go-to. You get exactly what you expect and the price point is reasonable. What I would absolutely avoid is breakfast sandwiches. Prices on those is far less reasonable. Overall, you get exactly what you expect here and it's nice to have it as a neighborhood option.

The game changer was the sesame seeds that gave just a little nutty flavor but not too overpowering.

Just know that they are somewhat new to the neighborhood. I ordered the Cubano combo. Combo comes with fries and a drink. The gentleman that took my order greeted me immediately. The place has seating in the back. He placed my order for fries to one of the two servers behind the counter and one was sweeping away. All I thought is I hope she washes her hands. Took my sandwich to go. Got home and wondered if I ordered a Cubano or a sandwich. Cubano's are pressed. So they are thin. This wasn't. Pork is shredded. Huge piece of ham and a huge drizzle of mustard. Tried to relayer everything but it was messy. Taste was ok but it was too overwhelming. Fries were tasty. I will go back to try one of the heroes they have. Won't be ordering the Cubano.

So when he mentioned how his burger was the most popular item, I definitely had to give it a shot - $8.75 for a no frills 8oz Angus burger with American cheese, tomato, onion, lettuce (I believe I saw pickle was available, but didn't get it). What I got was the 8oz of meat, but it was on a gorgeous brioche bun, with 2 slices of beefsteak tomato and really fresh lettuce. The red onions were meticulouslu cooked down in garlic butter on his griddle, and the burger patty (100% fresh, by the way) was cooked on grill using wood chip-fueled fire. Like I said, the guy really cares about his food. The meat was cooked to order, and all of the ingredients (bun, produce) were from LOCAL SHOPS freshly delivered every morning, so no unfresh ingredients. He dared me to eat this burger and come back to tell him it's not the best in the area, and I think he has an argument. So if you want to get a really good burger, all while supporting a 1-man show who supports Astoria's local businesses, stop by! This place is a great addition to the neighborhood, and I can't wait to try the rest of his sandwiches.

I got the "Aged…read moreto perfection" which was prosciutto, and the "US open fan favorite" which was roasted chicken breast. Both came with generous amounts of meat, not too saucy either which sometimes makes sandwiches soggy. I got the regular sub size which I ate half of. It can easier feed 2 people! I could have done without sundried tomatoes in the prosciutto sandwich but overall it was very delicious. I would get it again, or try a hot sandwich variant next time.

At one time this place was a force...now it's left somewhat of a lackluster feeling all the way…read moredown Austin St. I was in the area for an event and I needed food stat! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get a sandwich from Stacked since I haven't had one in a while. I I walked in and waited to be greeted while the staff chatted and gazed at me for about 5ish minutes or so. Finally, I'm acknowledged and asked "what can I get for you". I saw they had a Thanksgiving sandwich called the "Gobbler". I asked how long they would have it as even though it's the November special, sometimes places might make it last through the holidays. When asked I was told "it will be available until whenever November ends". This whole interaction made me feel so unwelcome. It didn't look like there was much going on there in the relm of orders, but it still took them a while to make my sandwich. Finally they bring it to the front counter. Pack it in paper and a paper bag and I'm off. I didn't have much time to eat so I scarfed it down in my car before heading down Queens Blvd. It was very good. Not my favorite, but def has potential. I also feel like, though this is a nice sized sandwich, they were a bit stingy this time around. I would say the star was the stuffing. It just tied everything together. As you all know, I love a good sandwich shop. I wish this was as good as it once was to me. Not sure if I'll give it one more shot just yet.
