This is the best place to get halal on Long Island. Period…read more I've been getting halal for around 15 years all over NY and Long Island, and Hamza has maintained its status as the most consistent in quality over the years. The original cart off Little Neck Parkway was always a go to, and we would be back and forth between Hamza and Mecca (the cart next to it) for best in town. I always felt that Mecca had the highest ceiling (when it was on, it was ON best ever). Hamza was always a steady second, but in recent years Mecca has fallen off a bit yet Hamza has remained steady. It's good to say they have additional locations too now throughout the island making them a better option then Shahs which many default to. Between the portions, the mix, the sauces, and the quality, this is the closest you can get to the top NYC street meat halal on Long Island. Consistency is key, and Hamza and Marina have maintained their high quality even through expansion. As always... extra white!

I ordered lamb platter with white rice, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and that divine white sauce spread all over the top. The lamb was cut into small cubes and they were tasty! It came with two small plastic containers of red hot sauce and two containers of an earthy green sauce. I didn't try the green sauce; the hut sauce was zesty & complemented the meal well. Ambiance was nothing to write back home to mom about. It was a clean space, it was kind of sterile. Good thing I don't eat ambiance. So with that, the food was very good & it hit the proverbial spot! If you're hankering for a good gyro meat with rice and all the toppings come here, they won't disappoint. Buon appetito!!

The chicken/lamb combo over rice was a standout! Perfectly seasoned with a generous drizzle of their creamy white sauce. I decided to add french fries because I was really hungry but in retrospect, that might have been a little overboard. The gyro was also bomb. Smother it in white sauce and hot sauce for a perfect blend of flavors. My only gripe is that some of the chicken had ligaments in it. I'm not really a fan of chewing on those things but it was just a few and overall the food was great!

However, I wouldn't go here again for halal chicken or lamb over rice; the lamb (4/10) is very salty while the chicken (6/10) was just ok. Their white sauce (2/10) was way too sweet. Overall the items were either too salty or too sweet. The only thing I liked was the hot sauce (8/10).

The rice is fluffy and aromatic, and I love that they include grilled vegetables on the side, which adds a nice balance to the meal.

My family often frequented the restaurant together. My little sister got her first paid check and…read morewanted to treat us. after my little sister picked us to a family platter. Unfortunately, our experience took a very upsetting turn when we found what appeared to be a bug in the food. We contacted the restaurant to explain what we found and hoped they would handle the situation professionally. Instead, the conversation quickly became hostile. After some back and forth the owner ultimately became very aggressive and said "if you want me to deal with this issue personally you can come in person and we can handle it like men" to my older brother which felt threatening. We left the interaction feeling disrespected, intimidated, and completely disgusted with how our concerns were handled. We were unable to reach a resolution or receive a refund despite raising what we believed was a serious food safety issue. Finding a literal insect in a meal is concerning enough, but what made this experience especially disappointing was the way we were treated afterward. From one Muslim person to another- that man had no kindness in his heart. I truly hope the restaurant shuts down or that man ends up on the street bc he's not taking food safety concerns seriously.

As the name suggests, this place Slaps!…read more I stopped by Slappin Chick in Hicksville for a quick fried chicken fix and walked away pretty satisfied. The chicken is crispy on the outside with good flavor, and you can actually taste the seasoning. I went with a medium heat level and it had a nice kick without completely destroying my taste buds. Perfect for what I was craving. I ordered the Hot Chicken Tenders with Fries, Mango Habanero Wings, and Garlic Parmesan Wings at Slappin Chick and overall had a really good meal. The Hot Chicken Tenders were crispy, juicy, and packed solid flavor with a nice heat level that built up without being overwhelming. The fries were decent and worked well as a side. This was the highlight of the night! Highly recommended. The wings were ok but i felt like it was more bones and skin than actual meat. These must have been some really small chickens. Their signature Slappin sauce is addictive (I ended up putting it on everything). Give it a try. Dont skip out. Solid spot. Would recommend it if you're in the mood for hot crispy chicken.

The flavors are good but it didn't have the spice it advertised. The Mac and cheese is most likely kraft mac and cheese, which is wild for them to charge $5 for a small cup of it.

It was juicy, nicely seasoned with that signature peri-peri flavor, and the heat level was perfect for me. Not too spicy and not too mild. The rice and sides that came with it were tasty too. Definitely worth it if you're craving flame-grilled chicken. For some reason, they forgot my daughter's entire kids meal order so we shared my chicken while waiting for it to arrive. After a while, the entire chicken was done but still no kids' meal arrived. I went to the lady in the front and she said it was coming so we waited another 15 minutes and still nothing. I went back up to just ask for a refund but they said it was definitely on its way this time. It finally came but it was definitely a battle to get this thing. the staff was apologetic and eventually got it sorted. That being said, the food was still very good and I would definitely come back. Perhaps takeout would be better next time though.

When we sat down it was kind of annoying because the sun was in our eyes from the window. They offered to move our seats, but the other table also was in the sunlight. We ordered a chicken kebab as an appetizer and got the mix grilled plate as an entree and goat Karahi. The mix grill plate was huge and came with like 5 different types of meat dishes cooked various ways of chicken and lamb. My favorite thing from the grill platter was the green chicken and the red chicken. It comes with tomatoes, and red onions as well. The goat karahi was good too the sauce was very flavorful and went well with the garlic nann. We also got a mango lassi, we found out half way through our meal that they forgot it and when we got our bill they charged us for 2 so they gave us a cash refund. Overall it was a nice place lots of families were there with their kids.

Friendly service and a lovely ambiance top it all off. Highly recommended!

I listened on my phone and waited for them to come back to the phone. I drove all the way from Queens. When I arrived, there was only one customer. 1 . I noticed a nasty greasy, oily glasses, where the food was all displayed 2. Not only do they not answer the phone but they have you wait 20 minutes after placing your order for fish and rice. 3. They show no remorse or care in the world for ignoring The phone and for leaving it off the hook so that I can hear them talking. It was the weirdest experience I have only eaten here once at the Commack location. That was absolutely amazing. Highly don't suggest ever coming to this location.
