    Smash Burger
    Fateha A.

    4/5 smash burger $6- really good, juicy, flavorful, just wish the bun wasn't so oily on top 4/5 fries- standard seasoned fries

    Alice S.

    I got the mix platter, which honestly was just okay. The meat tasted mediocre, sauces could've been more flavorful, and the fries were soggy. Portions are huge though, so each platter can easily be split into 2 meals. Come here for quantity, not quality.

    Quite possibly the best halal spot in Queens. Open late, I tried their lamb and chicken combo at only $10. It was an enormous amount of food, that no possible way one person can finish. The rice was well seasoned, lamb was juicy and chicken was tasty. The salad was the freshest I ever had from a halal place, tasted like Mediterranean salad from a Greek restaurant. Make sure to try their special Huncho's sauce with the white sauce!

    im quite speachless. maybe emotional. this meal changed my life. i'm a lifelong customer; i'm taking my ass to Astoria every week for this. Hunchos mannnnn, theyre doing it right. Affordable, big portions, flavor forward, with good quality and such a kind staff. Blown away. Ordered the lamb & chicken platter, and the spicy fried chicken sandwhich for less than $20. Platter came with fries and some salad. So good. juicy, flavorful, the best halal ive had in NYC. Chicken sandwhich was great! Tender, tangy, great crunch. I don't know, im speechless.

    Clean interior, friendly service, good food, good value. $10 for chicken and lamb platter, which comes with two sides of your choice. The lamb was not my favorite, but the chicken was ok. The salad tasted nice and fresh, and the hummus was smooth. I asked for the sauce on the side, and they encouraged me to try different sauces in addition to the one I requested. There is some seating indoors but probably not enough for bigger groups.

    Hunchos never disappoints. The food tastes amazing, the service is equally as amazing, their staff is always so friendly!! My personal go to is lamb platter it's SO good, lived in NYC my whole life and this is my favorite halal spot ever. Their chicken is also really good and juicy, I just prefer lamb. Generous portions and generous with the sauces. Hunchos sauce comes in a spicy and non spicy it's almost like a sweet savory sauce, so good!! Their white sauce is super dill forward which I love! There's seats inside if you want to eat there. I just can't say enough good things, I literally come here every month at least once or twice! The photo I already took a bite because I forgot and it was too good

    Delicious Mixed Platter at an Amazing Price! I tried the mixed platter that I saw on TikTok, and it did not disappoint! For just $15, you get a generous serving of basmati rice, chicken, lamb, falafel balls, crispy fries, a fresh salad topped with hummus, and grilled pita bread--plus a variety of sauces to choose from. Everything was packed with flavor, and I absolutely loved it! The portion size is great for the price, and the combination of tastes and textures was spot on. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating it's limited. The staff were great he was welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal!

    Went to the new location in Uniondale and it was amazing. Food fresh, tasty, place clean, front end guy was so friendly. He had us try the chicken and lamb since it was our first time. And it was affordable. All good things. Will be back again.

    Crispy Chicken Fries Smash Burger

    The fries were really good. The smash burger was really good too, it had the perfect amount of caramelized onions. Your also able to ask for extra sauce if you want.

    AMAZING! I came in with my friends and we had the best customer service! I don't have a preference for Halal food, however i would rather eat here than a regular place. Simply amazing so great. We even got two smash burgers on the house! I am so pleased and happy!

    Chicken Sandwhich

    Live right across the street. Was waiting months for this place to open. Went on the grand opening they gave everyone free platters and everything was delicious the rice the chicken the lamb even the sauces taste different from regular halal food spots. Went the next day again and got a chicken sandwich and steak platter and god damn it was hittin.

    The outside

    I've been to a few good Halal food spots, but this place is something else. Saw a video online about it and was not disappointed. We got 3 pcs of fried catfish, two smash burger combos that comes with fries and a choice of drink, and a chicken platter with rice, pita, and fries. Added another patty on each not knowing that the regular already had two still wasn't disappointed. The flavor of the fish was amazing and they were huge. The burgers were the most valid delicious smash burgers I've ever had. Some of the best overall burgers I've eaten. I recommend getting the Huncho sauce ask for like 2 with each meal. The service was top notch they even gave my family and I more sauces to take home. I will be coming back best believe. Worth the price we paid for all that food. They know what they're doing. It's a nice clean place to enjoy a meal.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.

Upon arrival you're greeted with a small, no-frills restaurant that moves people in and out relatively efficiently. You start the process by moving to the front and picking out the fresh fish you'd like for your meal. The gentlemen up front will then weigh it out and ask you how you'd like it prepared. My group ended up grabbing calamari, octopus tentacles, scallops, and a whole fish. We also ordered some baba ghanoush and eggplant with tomato on the side. The scallops and octopus, both of which we ordered grilled, came out first and were excellent! The scallops were soft and buttery with great texture and flavor. The octopus was the star of the show with an excellent bite and texture and great flavor from the olive oil and garlic coating it. Our order of fried calamari was also super tasty. It seems like they sprinked a special spice blend over it to give it some extra kick. Our last fish course was a whole fish served Egyptian style with blackened seasoning. The skin of the fish was amazing. It had a citrusy/salty flavor that was followed by the freshness of the herbs stuffed inside the fish. Our sides were also great with the baba ghanoush being my favorite dip. I give Abuqir top marks for their food and service. The cooks were very helpful in assisting us with making our fish selections and everything was cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a nice seafood meal with a group of friends come give this spot a visit!

My relatives regularly drive way out of their way to pick up food here to serve guests. That kind of effort only happens when the food is worth it.

Some great options are the grilled octopus, grilled calamari, grilled shrimp, and branzini cooked mediterranean style.

But tucked away on 34th Street, Off the Hook Raw Bar & Grill proves that some things are worth it. Years later, the truth remains unchanged: this sanctuary delivers a masterclass in cozy warmth and absolute culinary respect. The lobster mac and cheese is a decadent triumph--rich and loaded. But the real revelation is the skirt steak. It carries a deeply seasoned, char-grilled crust that locks in a perfect, juicy interior. It is, without exaggeration, one of the the best damn skirt steaks you will ever encounter in this city. Decor (4.25/5): It's a small, intimate room that hits you with a cozy, effortlessly cool vibe. It also has the small outdoor patio tucked away in the back--a perfect, low-lit refuge for a summer night in Queens. Customer Service (4.5/5): The staff is exceptional. They are welcoming, professional, and move with a hospitality that keeps the room's energy completely relaxed. Food Rating (5/5): Flawless execution. The skirt steak is dialed in to absolute perfection every single time, and the lobster mac stands alone at the top of its class. Price: Around $65 per person. Worth every penny--just prepare to battle for a spot on the asphalt if you drive.
